Real Talk: This Week in Snowboarding - Episode 127
Remembering Jake Featuring Chris Karol, Steve Hayes, Ross Powers, Mike Arzt and Frank Phillips
Shout out to the sponsors of this episode Never Summer Snowboards and 686 Technical Outerwear. We ask that you support the brands that support disruptive snowboard media. Find out more about these guys at their websites.
Last Thursday we lost the sport’s most influential rider - founder of Burton Snowboards, Jake Burton Carpenter. This was a heavy episode to put together, as it all so fresh and the people close to him so profoundly affected.
But we did manage to sit talk with Chris Karol, the sport’s first World Champion, Steve Hayes, arguably Burton’s first prodigy rider, Ross Powers who won two Olympic medals and ushered the sport into the mainstream and two former Burton employees, Mike Arzt and Frank Phillips who run a business together (thepublicworks.biz.)
