Oh my days, this was a funny conversation. This chairlift was one after the episode with Rich Dunning where we talked about Manuca Honey, and swerves off on a tangent. This kinda set the tone for a fun day of shredding as a big posse in Tignes, with ... more
Not many people live and breathe snowboarding quite like Dan Crichton, who along with Lizzie Holloway, have been making sure the UK gets Burton Snowboards, with the best service, demos, team riders and the love that Jake himself brought to the sport.... more
Caz spent a fair bit of time on the camp being a little risqué, so I thought she'd make for a funny chairlift chat. What I didn't realise was how deep her roots in snowboarding go and how committed to the shred and how technical she is about it. So, ... more
A short chairlift chat in the true tradition of chairlift chats, random topics, funny facts and laughs... My old mate Richie was in on this one and I'm stoked to add his voice to the podcast after many seasons of hanging out in Bourg and Les Arcs. Po... more

- The definitive UK Snowboard History podcast

New listener… finding the usual suspects of snowboarding circa 1993-2005…
It’s funny how you get sucked back into the world of snowboarding and the characters you meet along the way. Having done seasons in 98/99/2000/2001 in the Espace Killy (not Tignes-Val d’isere - @willhughes😂) I come here for the old school stories from this generation of snow slashers… life is different now, family, mortgage etc but I still look for that 1 turn on a trip to bring the smile and strive to find the next, hop... more
Apple Podcasts5RANDY SAXUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Luvvit! Nice work, Crackers! 🙌👏 😎
Great insight, interesting stories and anecdotal dialogues coming first-hand from the plethora of talent and bipedal building blocks within the British snowboard scene past and present. Crackerjack delves into the recent (maybe it isn’t as recent as it feels?!) history via his broad network of friends and acquaintances in the game that give the low-down on the inner workings of a legendary era in British snowboarding and what’s to come of it in the future.
A fun and often very interesting podca... more
