THE TRADESHOW EPISODE PART ONE

 

The Snowboard Project (well at least Dustin as Mark was announcing the Grand Prix in Mammoth) went to the tradeshow in Denver this week with their mobile recording studio to get the 411 on all things brands and products. We got so many interviews that we had to break this episode up into two Real Talks. 

 

Mark and Dustin take you on a tour of the industry featuring interviews with all those who make it happen behind the scenes.

 

CARDIFF SNOWCRAFT WITH TEAM RIDER BJORN LEINES  26:13

Bjorn tells us about being a newer, smaller brand and making an immediate impact in the industry with their boards. He also predicts that more younger, freestyle oriented riders will start splitboarding as the technology has now caught up. 

 

THE NIDECKER BRAND FAMILY WITH NIDECKER BRAND MANAGER THIERRY KUNZ 34:12

Thierry Kunz explains the philosophies behind the Nidecker Group of snowboard brands and how the industry needs to work together to solve our big industry problems that affect us all. 

 

LIB TECH WITH FOUNDER PETE SAARI 49:00

Pete Saari takes a moment out of his day to tell us why he has stayed at Lib Tech for so long and continues to innovate and design snowboards. He has a kitchen and loves to cook.

 

YES SNOWBOARDS WITH OWNERS DCP AND JP SOLBERG 1:00:02

DCP and JP tell us about their new splitboard designed with the help of Eagle Pass heli guide Scott Newsome. They talk about their “Greats” series of boards and how they feature the Uninc Pig and about the 420 Powder Hull technology. JP is heading up a new clothing brand called Yes on Life and he makes a prediction that we will be seeing more 3D board technology in the future.

 

686 TECHNICAL OUTERWEAR WITH TEAM MANAGER PATRICK MCCARTHY 1:22:11
