Thank U Snowboarding

Thank U Snowboarding - S1 - Ep5 - Graeme Chalmers


Listen Later

Fairy unknown in the history of UK snowboarding, a name lost to time. Maybe due to the fact that he sort of existed outside the UK scene to an extent. From skating and building his first snowboards, to decamping to the Alps to persue this 'sport', from meals with Jake Burton to hanging out with Shawn Farmer et al at the King of the Hill in Alaska, Graeme has had a pretty wild ride and is still frothing for the shred.

Graeme heard about the podcast and got in touch to see if I'd like to chat with him, he sent me some career 'highlights' and I was blown away, so of course we needed him on! Such a great chat, so humble, so stoked on snowboarding (and skating) and I feel priviledged to have helped him share his story...


We talked about the Standard movie TB5, which you can find here: https://youtu.be/_W3Vl4prN_I?si=wcLxcuR1tge17lE8


We also talk about the King of the Hill in Alaska, which was the first of its kind, a free ride/extreme contest in Alaska, you can see what this looked like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwuITAXN3g


Of course, if you need kit, or advice on kit, the go check our partners The Snowboard Asylum here: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/


And if you need something other than your phone to read whilst you take a shit, then grab a copy of the excellent The Reason Mag, a beautifully put together shred mag:
