Thank U Snowboarding S2 Ep12 Neil Campbell

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2025/01/17

Neil’s story is quite incredible and quite unlike anyone else I’ve interviewed and is completely inspirational. How small moments and kindness of strangers can turn your life into a completely new direction, both good and bad.Luckily for us, the bad came before the good and the good came in the shape of The XScape in Milton Keynes offered Neil a new life that wasn’t obvious at first, but slowly revealed itself and led Neil to a new life.He now uses his background in life and snowboarding to advocate

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2025/01/09

You probably have heard of Johno Verity, as a pro rider he was all over the UK snowboard magazines and movies, particularly the Lockdown Projects movies he helped to make. He wasn't afraid to take the piss out of himself, using down time to write and film skits which added another dimension to his parts and that has seen him move into writing, directing and running his own film production company, working with big brands and pushing his skills even further forward.Johno also has a nice angle on

Thank U Snowboarding - S2 - Ep10 - Maria Cork

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2025/01/02

You probably won't have heard of Maria, but I'm pretty certain you will have seen her work. Maria has been a stalwart of the Briish scene for years, from riding Hillingdon dryslope every weekend amongst what was a hardcore scene who took no prisoners, to competing, to showing up at the Brits. Maria wasn't in it for the competition, but for the community, not afraid to hurt herself, but when there wasn't many women snowboarding, and even less on dryslope, Maria really blazed a path for others to

2024/12/26

Finally! I hear you all cry... Its a Chrismtas miracle! Yep, the long awaited, often asked for episode with the legend that is Simon Smith is here!Simons attitude and approach to snowboarding helped influence what British snowboarding has become, we all owe him a debt of gratitude, because without Simon and his peers, snowboarding could look like skiing, and we'd all be poorer for it.His nickname 'bloody' was due to his go hard attitude, getting in the air, whether on a skateboard, bmx or snowboard

Thank U Snowboarding - S2 - Ep8 - John Bassett

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/12/19

Out of everyone I"ve had on so far, Johns journey is probably the closest to mine. As a way to go snowboarding, starting a business to share the experience of being in the mountains, with a comfy bed and some good food, surrounded by like minded people, its not an easy life to choose, and I know from experience that it isn't for everyone, but there is something incredible about these places that pop up, run by snowboarders for snowboarders, stripping out the bullshit the middle class ski families

Thank U Snowboarding - S2 - Ep7 - Schoph

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/12/12

Schoph has been in the trenches of snowboarding and art for a long time, staying true to both his passion for sliding around on mountains and tranferring the images inside his brain onto canvas, and that staying true is leading him down a very singular path.His work with Jamie Lynn is well documented and has resulted in the brand 1910, which is currently enjoying becoming the coolest brand in snowboarding, resonating with kids and 'old heads' alike. https://9teenten.comHe is also experimenting more

Will Has covered a lot of ground throughout his snowboarding career, both figuratively and physically. From his younger days as a pink haired, Hawian shirted, ID magazine appearing dryslope ruler, to seasoned seasonaire, Dragon Lodge running, splitboarding, touring lifer in search of the perfect turn, Will liveS his life in snowboarding.An amazing few days at the Dragon Lodge, riding, laughing and vibing with an epic crew, what a pleasure to finally sit down with an old friend and talk about his

Thank U Snowboarding - S2 - Ep5 - Neil McNab

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/11/28

Neil has carved himself quite a unique path, one that he certainly blazed for himself. No other UK snowboarder has earned the title of high mountain guide, a qualification that is as much about climbing as much as snowboarding, and to take clients into that environment and be responsable isn't something to be taken lightly, let alone the time and effort it takes to earn that title in the first place.Thats on top of his status as British champion, a career racing and helping set up teaching

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/11/21

Delighted to be finding out more about what was an institution in the game, a brilliant shop, cultural hub in both skate and snow and place where people, including myself would pilgrimage, yes pilgrimage, to buy their kit and soak up some of SS20's, how can I put this, radness.SS20 was a snow and skate shop in Oxford, and their clever use of graphics on their T Shirts made them somewhat legendary, see someone with a fish or a barcode t shirt and you know they know. That did, in fact, happen to me on

Thank U Snowboarding - S2 - Ep3 - Zoe De Pass

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/11/14

Someone you probably have never heard of this week, but as well as looking and recording some of the historical figures of our sport, I also thought it was relevant to talk to people who are getting people excited for snowboarding outside of the normal confines of what used to happen. It used to be shops and dry slopes that would be organising trips and bulding a scene, but with the majority of those gone, who is doing it? Well, people like Zoe, with a deep love of snowboarding and an audience on

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/11/07

From uber grom out of the brand new SnowDome in Tamworth, to working seasons in Colorado, to shaping the British aestehtic of snowboarding, to helping showcase our little corner of the world to the masses via Olympic commentary, Tim truly has worked and blagged and worked some more to live a life in snowboarding. Almost always upbeat, enthusiastic and frothing for the shred, Tim seems to enjoy the spotlight being on him, but from knowing him for some years, he would be exactly the same in a dark

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/10/31

Chris Moran is a hero of British Snowboarding, always seeing the cracks in doors and pushing them as wide open as possible, and for the beneft of snowboarding. From a young age, shredding with Ste Bailey on dryslope, to seasons in caravans in Chamonix (dear God) to the WhiteLines chalet in Meribel, Chris has always created fun and adventure and is happy to take along whoever is up for it.I'm sure he won the Bristish Champs one year, but we didn't get to that, I also didnt give him any shit for

Thank U Snowboarding - S1 - Ep18 - Danny Wheeler

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/03/28

Danny, for a long time, was far and away the most powerful stylish and progressive rider the UK had produced. He made his presence felt, not just in the UK scene, but internationally, with a heavy bag of tricks and a keen eye on what those tricks looked like. From humble beginnings in Pontefract to a life travelling and snowboarding, filming wih an A list of snowboarders, living in the Alps, countless photos and video parts, to designing outerwear and making films, his career took him far and wide,

Well, we are nearly there... The last episode for ths winter is coming next week, but in the meantime (which means I haven't recorded it yet) here is a mix of songs from snowboard movies, put together in a fashion by me, which I hope will get you frothing for snowboarding, bring back some happy memories, or both...As you all might know by now, my day job is in music, producing, mixing and DJing, and this project was born out of being booked to play an Absinthe movie premier in London, where I

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/03/14

For those of you who don't know Mark Munson, and there are probably a lot of you, Mark is one of our cultures true individuals, almost aggresively so. Its fair to say that Mark didn't really want to be part of snowboarding originally. He wanted to acheive, because one of the things you'll learn, is that when Mark does something, he goes all in 100%.Regardless of whether that is skating, snowboarding, his business or growing rhubarb (he grows some fucking banging rhubarb btw) Mark is all in.

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/03/07

Snowboarder, guitarist, model, influencer, mother. It would be easy to not like someone like Juliet if you just looked at what she has done on paper, but that is a fraction of the story. Juliet has always been a bright eyed girl, stoked on life and what opportunities it has presented, her infectious smile and laugh about how absurd most things are has seen her through some pretty amazing situations without her turning into what those situations could easiy have done.The story of how she ended up as

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/02/29

Ian Felton orchestrated a few things that have had a lasting impression on UK snowboard culture. From Kaos Mountain Wear, to Kaos The Movie, his work with the British Snowboard Association and the World Snowboard Federation, to running commentary for the BBC at the Olympics.I think Ian realised that Doing It Yourself was the way it was going to have to go, he saw that the ski industry (certainly the UK ski industry) weren't that interested in snowboarding and so to create something, he'd DIY

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/02/22

Vicky and Nige Brookes are lifers, simple as that. They have built their lives around a love of snowboarding, finding any which way to keep them doing what they love. They started off living in a van in Chamonix doing seasons way back when, and I can tell you, I lived in an Ambulance in Val D'Isere for a week in 94 and came close to dying, so its no mean feat they van lifed it, before there was such a thing as van life.So, having a child that snowboards would seem like a natural extension of their

Thank U Snowboarding ·

2024/02/15

Matt Barr, quietly (mostly) helped shape what UK snowboard culture, and the wider worldwide culture, looked like over the last three decades. Matt recognised his own talents early on, realising he wasn't going to be a pro snowboarder, set about making it his life in other ways. Learning a few tricks from the master of the blag, Chris Moran (he won't mind me saying that) Matt used snowboarding as a means to travel the world on someone elses budget, finding the interesting stories and bringing them
