  • Chapeau sir…

    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

  • 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.

  • Thank U Snowboarding

    What an absolute find, I’ve only been listening just over a month but it’s reignited so many memories. I had a mid life crisis at 34 when I sampled snowboarding purely by chance, now 60 and sharing my past DVD’s with the podcast really want to spread the word how amazing snowboarding is. The episode with Neil McNab brought memories of having lessons with Becci in Morzine and the team of RTM in Courchevel, as well as a day trip to Chamonix from Manchester airport by Airtours…
