TPM Episode 142: Ben Weis, Pro Skater

The Powell Movement ·

2019/10/07

Ben Weis has lived a rollercoaster of a life so far and he’s not even 40. Ben came up in a dysfunction family in Minnesota, didn’t have the money to play hockey and ended up finding rollerblading. In just three quick years he went pro in a sport where there was no money. So contest winnings went into backing drug deals, they went bad, and Ben found himself a heroin addict/criminal who was in and out of prison. He’s been out for a month, he’s clean, and this tale is a must listen. Ben Weis Show

2019/09/02

Scotty Bob Morgan is different than most athletes I’ve had on the show. His focus on Proximity Flying, one of the most high-risk activities on the planet, creates a life that is different than your traditional action sports athlete. There are no huge paydays, organized ways to get exposure, or even a good way to learn. You need a heavy dose of sky, BASE, and wingsuit experience combined with huge balls in order to live to tell these tales. With a background as a combat photographer and dude that

He’s won Emmy Awards, was the voice of the Washington Wizards for the past 22 years, was inducted into the DC Sports Hall of Fame, the list goes on and on. His work speaks for itself, but in the world of business, that doesn’t matter. Weeks ago, the Washington Wizards parted ways with their longtime, hometown, announcer, in the worst way possible. We talk about his long career,

2019/07/28

2005 Transworld Snowboarding ‘Rider of the Year’ Chad Otterstrom is on the podcast. When you win an award like that in 2005 and you’re a guest on a podcast, it’s usually a 'where are they now'. That's not the case with Chad. His pro shred career is still going and now, he’s a brand owner living that desk jockey life, all while remaining a pro rider.

The Powell Movement ·

2019/07/22

It’s summertime and in the snow world, that means summer camp. This week I headed down to Windell’s Camp in Oregon to catch up with longtime camp veteran and TGR athlete Tim Durtschi. On the podcast, we walk through Tim’s life and times. Tim is one of those dudes that has no media training and is not afraid to answer anything which makes for an entertaining show and the “Inappropriate Questions” with Andy Parry may be the best yet.

The Powell Movement ·

2019/07/08

Todd Richards has done everything. He’s a two-time X Games Gold Medalist in the halfpipe, he has hardware from slopestyle competition as well, and he’s pretty much the voice of board sports. The funny thing is, he never really achieved the dream of being a pro skater and he had to settle for snowboarding. The history, insight, and stories that Todd brings to the table are awesome and it’s another entertaining show. Todd Richards Show Notes: 2:00: Todd and Chris Coté’s Podcast and Paxton, MA as

2019/07/01

Saying Fabiola da Silva is the best, and most underappreciated female athlete of our time is a bold statement…but it’s one that I fully believe. I can’t think of another case in sport where a woman was so dominant in her field, that the sport’s organizing body decided to cancel the woman’s event and have the women (Fabiola) compete against the men...And Fabiola did not disappoint, standing on the podium with her peers at some of the biggest events in the world.

2019/06/24

Casey Brown has one hell of a story. This bad ass mountain biker’s life has been filled with twists and turns that I will not spoil in this intro. I will say that Casey had an upbringing different than anyone’s that I have met in my life. Based on all that Casey shares, you would think that she would have a totally different, maybe even strange personality. I found none of that, what I did find was an amazing athlete who knows all about highs and lows. It’s another incredible story. Casey Brown

2019/06/17

Once labeled a ski model, Caroline Gleich’s path to becoming a respected ski mountaineer has been quite the climb. From the billboards of Utah to the monsters of the Himalaya, there is no fear in this 5’1” ball of energy. The podcast gives a little of Caroline’s backstory and then a lot about Everest. It was a heavy year on the mountain and Caroline shares what she experienced. It’s a real look into a world that most of us only read about and it’s a great listen. Caroline Gleich Show Notes:

Cesar Mora was born to become a professional soccer player and he was on track to make that happen. He moved from Australia to Spain and began training with Rayo Vallencano before visa issues forced him out of Spain. When he returned to Australia, he worked at a skateboard shop, found rollerblading, and within two years, was on top of the sport. He dominated vert from 95 to 99 and then he broke his arm. While Cesar continued to compete, he was never the same. It’s an interesting story with one
