Dave Dowd is a professional snowboarder from the 80's through to the 2000s who still snowboards a lot today at his home in Colorado. Dave made it through the neon era with tons of coverage in magazines and early movies before racing Boardercross at the X-Games for the better part of a decade. He went on to coach such notables as Nate Holland essentially coaching himself out of a job. The breakfast his wife cooked was incredible and sitting for an hour in his beautiful backyard talking about snowboarding was a rad way to spend a morning,

Chad Otterstrom is a 27 veteran of professional snowboarding. If you follow Chad on instagram you know he's still snowboarding as much as any pro out there. He rode for Silence, M3, Forum, Rossignol, and Academy Snowboards where he's a part owner today. Living in Breck allows him access to snow almost year round. I visited his home in early December before significant snow had fallen but we still got up early and hiked in the sun and sessioned a classic picnic table. Chad is the ultimate snowboarder's snowboarder.

Ernie DeLost caught the snowboarding bug in the 70's and immediately started improving on Bob Weber's early plastic board design. I saw one of the original Snowtec plastic boards at the overstock for the Vail Ski And Snowboard Museum and it was rad! Ernie is the real deal and has been innovating snowboard technology longer than pretty much anyone else. He took me on a tour of his factory and sat down for an interview in San Diego California early in December.

Keir Dillon is one of my favourite humans. We tried to record at his place in San Diego almost two years ago but the recorder crapped out and I vowed to come back. Keir was a halfpipe wizard and podiumed or won World Cup, X Games, and US Opens. His story took some twists and turns over the years since and we talk about his foray into the business world with several other pro snowboarders and their company Frends. Enjoy this conversation with the Legend, Keir Dillon

Jamie Salter is one of the founders of Ride Snowboards along with Tim Pogue and Jason Ford. He is one of the key money guys of early snowboarding, rubbing shoulders with the founders of Burton, Sims, Kemper (Jamie's involvement in the early days of Kemper is huge!), Barfoot, Mervin, Nitro, and many more. 

In 1995 Ride Snowboards made headlines by going public, Jamie tells the story behind the hype and lets us in to a world of financial decisions that lead him to own a lot of companies. 

Today Jamie Salter's company ABG owns brands like Reabok, Above The Rim, Aeropostale, Airwalk, Elvis, Forever 21, IZOD, Juicy Couture, Nine West, Sports Illustrated, Tapout, Vision Street Wear, and Volcom.

Mikey Ciccarelli is an Ontario transplant living in Whistler. He started competing in halfpipe at 8 years old. He started competing in slopestyle and won the Junior Olympics and a World Cup Slopestyle contest when he turned 18 ( the year his father passed). Mikey went on to compete in X-Games before deciding to film in the Whistler backcountry with some of the world's best. After scoring a couple of shots in Burton's One World movie he decided to go full time filming with Kingsnow which led to an IF3 Backcountry part of the year award. Mikey joined me at Boardroom's Whistler chalet for this interview about his life in snowboarding.
