This week marks the one year anniversary of losing 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 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.)
