Shaun Palmer, one of the most successful competitive professional snowboarders to ever live. He's like snowboarding's MJ or Gretzky. He's won X-Games and the Banked Slalom and World Cups and so much more. But before he was the world's greatest athlete he was snowboarding's signature bad ass. If you do a Google search for "snowboarders" his image comes up pretty quickly down the list and he's the only first generation snowboarder in with the Olympians and Travis Rice. American flag outfits and bright red clown hair were his trademarks in the early 90's. He qualified for the Olympic boardercross team in 2010 but tore his achilles and couldn't go.

Today, Palmer still lives in Tahoe and has rejoined the Sims team and put out a pro model based on the original clown board. He's going to the Legendary Banked Slalom at Mt Baker this year, and FNRad is betting he's going to win.

Originally from the eastern USA, Russell Winfield was a prominent pro snowboarder in the early 90's and a pro for Burton. Russell was one of the first three pro riders for the newly formed Ride Snowboard company in 1992 and helped develop the Ride brand (as well as Cappel Clothing which lead the industry in style-influenced technical outerwear) during his two years at Ride. Russell makes his home in Washington State and still shreds Steven's Pass and Baker regularly. If you listen closely, you'll catch some Mike Leblanc in there as he was staying with Russell the weekend we recorded.

Shawn Farmer was the first pro snowboarder we interviewed for season 1.  I'd been messaging him on facebook (which he doesn't really use) and I hadn't heard back. So when I saw him in the Mt. Baker parking lot I asked if we could record on the chairlift. It ended up being one of the only powder days of the 2014/2015 season. Mt Baker would eventually close early and cancel the banked slalom for the first time in 30 years.

This remix is our first attempt at improving an existing episode. Hopefully its more enjoyable than the original. If its your first episode, welcome.

Closing out Season 1 we bring you an interview with Damian Sanders.

Damian rode for Avalanche Snowboards, a company his brother Chris owned. From the first Avalanche board ever made to the Damian Dagger, Chris and Damian made it up as they went, a lot like we are doing with this podcast.

Damian's go big or go bigger attitude eventually blew out his knee, several times. But not before he put down some of the biggest jumps and cliffs of the era. Damian was voted Transworld Snowboarding readers poll's Most Extreme Rider. This was back when I read Transworld cover to cover every issue.

Damian Sanders embodied what snowboarding was back then, a lifestyle.

We interview Mike Ranquet at Milano's in Glacier Washington

Mike's been a loud voice in snowboarding for almost 30 years, calling bullshit, ruffling feathers, and kicking ass on his snowboard.

He's the first guy I saw do a trick fakie (riding backwards) in a video. He's the first guy to butter. And he was among the first snowboarders to visit and tear up Alaska.

As a member of the legendary Mount Baker Hardcores (MBHC) Mike Ranquet spent his snowboard career in the company of several world class snowboarders.

After riding with him I'm convinced, he's still got it. And now, as an owner of D-Day Snowboards, Mike is back out on the snow enjoying himself and promoting the brand.

A quick parking lot interview with two snowboarders that had a huge impact on the sport.

Dan Donnelly (Dano) was raised at Baker. A member of the legendary MBHC. Dano's smooth style is still his signature today, and he's still getting after it in-bounds and out-of-bounds.

Rob Morrow brought us Morrow snowboards in 1989. 3 years later he graced the cover of Transworld Snowboarding twice in one year. It's safe to say he's one of the first guys to listen to tunes while riding.

Norwegian snowboarding legend Terje Hakonsen visit's the FNRad Snowboarding Podcast live show at Chair 9 Pub in Glacier Washington during the Mount Baker Legendary Banked Slalom.

If you're new to the show, welcome.

We are nearing the end of our first season and it's been a lot of fun. We still have a few more episodes of some of snowboarding's raddest pioneers so enjoy this episode and join us for the remainder of season one.

Special thanks to Evan Camm and Mike from the band Drag The River for engineering the audio for this show. Also, it's Evan's music that plays under the credits... He's awesome.
