I used to suffer through the big mountain parts in early snowboarding videos. I wanted to see jumps and jibs. But now I find myself watching the classics and appreciating how gnarly the back country freeriders were getting while we were all busy cutting our noses down.

Dave Hatchett and his twin brother Mike revolutionized snowboarding videos forever with the Totally Board series which put out a new video every year for 20 years!

Dave's unique perspective as a professional snowboarder turned filmer turned author is a great addition to our first season,

This episode is a little longer than what we've done so far... Enjoy!

Oh and subscribe on itunes and leave us a review...

In Les Arcs France in 1982 the opening of Les Arcs 2000 would usher in the first wave of snowboarding's freeriders with Regis Rolland shredding the steeps with a helicopter, a film crew, and a million dollar budget.

Steve Graham gave us the contact information for Regis, citing him as one of the rad pioneers that helped start everything.

The Apocalypse Snow movies brought snowboarding to the world.

We reached Regis at his house in France.

Two time snowboarding giant slalom world champion and 1996 overall world champion Mike Jacoby talks to us in Hood River Oregon.

Mike's passion for snowboarding helped legitimize competitive snowboarding in the 90's and 2000's. We talk to him about his early days on Burton, the Olympics in 1998, his earliest memories of snowboarding, and his signature move, the J-Tear.

Mike is an amazing human being about to embark on a sailboating excursion around the world.

FNRad Podcast couldn't be more stoked!!

While cruisin' Mt. Baker looking for Ranquet we bumped into Jeff Fulton!

Jeff's OG MBHC and we talk about how that whole group came to be.

Now in his mid 50's his smooth style is indicative of the years he's spent at Baker riding the best in bounds terrain in the Pacific Northwest.

Recorded on the chairlift, you can hear the happy skiers and boarders in the background.

Tom Burt is one of the most important snowboarders of all times. He's been a team rider, a brand ambassador, a company owner, a judge, a designer, and an adventurer. His early 90's footage showed snowboarding as it had never been seen before, big, scary, gnarly, and beautiful all at once.

Tom Burt paved the way for riders like Johan, Jeremy, and Travis. He and his good friend Jim Zellers had a bucket list of mountains they rode that has gone unchallenged until now.

We caught up with Tom at his home in California.

Happy Holidays
