  • The definitive UK Snowboard History podcast

    Thank U Snowboarding investigates the history of snowboarding in the UK. Earlier series focused a lot on the famous names (sponsored and pro riders mainly with a smattering of industry types) but later series have branched out into some of the cul de sacs of the people with snowboarding at the center of their lives but very few people will have heard of. As a lexicon instrument documenting UK snowboarding, it has no peer. Chris does an awesome job hosting. Always well researched his easy style m... more

  • Chapeau sir…

  • 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
