Matt Barr, quietly (mostly) helped shape what UK snowboard culture, and the wider worldwide culture, looked like over the last three decades.

Matt recognised his own talents early on, realising he wasn't going to be a pro snowboarder, set about making it his life in other ways. Learning a few tricks from the master of the blag, Chris Moran (he won't mind me saying that) Matt used snowboarding as a means to travel the world on someone elses budget, finding the interesting stories and bringing them back with him, sharing them in the pages of Whitelines and laterly, Transworld Snow.

You might think after all those adventures, you might have gotten your lot out of this great lifestyle, but Matt went to on pioneer action sports podcasts with Looking Sideways (https://wearelookingsideways.com/) and took that to the great and the good of snowboarding, then into the wider surf, skate and outdoors communities, finding the interesting stories and important issues.

As well as this, Matt is owner of All Conditions Media (https://allconditionsmedia.com/) going about helping brands deliver their message in a non shit way.

As always, we are supported by the lovely people at The Snowboard Asylum, tell them I sent you: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/

I mention that Matt came over to my studio to record this, I work as a music producer and mix engineer out of my own studio space, if you are interested you can find that here: https://goldtone.co.uk/
