Chris Engelsman, aka ETree, is one of the tallest snowboarders of his generation and a master of riding switch. He was one of those snowboarder entrepreneurs who was always starting brands and projects like Elevation Snowboards and Robot Food. On the podcast, we talk about his career, QI, Clicker, and inventing the backside Rodeo. It’s another good one.
