Host Raphael Levon Price is back with Flyin’ Brian Rice II as they dive deep into the mental and physical resilience required to be an elite snowboarder. In this episode, Brian opens up about a defining moment of failure where trying to copy his peers—being a "sheep in the herd"—led to repeated crashes on a "back triple 16." He explains how reinventing the trick to fit his own unique style not only allowed him to land it but gave him ownership over his craft. The conversation takes a gritty turn as Brian details the "darkest time" of his adult life: breaking his collarbone twice in one season. Channeling "Mamba Mentality," he recounts the insane decision to fly to Switzerland just days after a doctor’s appointment, tape up his broken bone, and compete against Olympians—landing a 27th place finish while still injured.

Brian also breaks down his evolving training philosophy, shifting from heavy lifting to functional athleticism, sharing a hilarious story about breaking a sauna floorboard while jumping rope. Raphael issues a public call to find Brian a world-class trainer (shoutout Tim Grover) to prep for the 2026 Olympics, and they discuss the essential gear that keeps Brian moving, specifically the shock-absorbing tech of FP Insoles.
