We talk about her years as a professional snowboarder, competing on the world's biggest stage, navigating life after sport, overcoming personal challenges, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

Brock Nielsen
May 2602:18:40Tap to summarizeBrock is one of snowboarding's hidden gems, posted up behind the lens. Quiet, observant and constantly digesting the world through a camera, you can feel that raw authenticity in everything he creates. From getting thrown into the mix with legends like Nate Bozung and Matty Ryan during the iconic BOZWRECK era, Brock helped document a true cult classic chapter of snowboard filmmaking. He captured and brought to life a side of snowboarding that was often overlooked by the mainstream. Names like Bradshaw, Bennee, Deadlung and Keegan are just a few of the legends he filmed during the prime of their careers. Over the years, Brock has continued to build a style that feels timeless, he has the ability to make moments feel real, not staged or forced. The last Brown Cinema film - Knights Of The Brown Table says it all. From Absinthe Films, Adidas, Torment Magazine, The North Face, SIMS and beyond riders, brands and snowboarding as a hole are grateful to have him in the mix. So what's next for Brock? Tune in. Thanks for coming on the show! Presented by Monster Enegery Supported by Vans, Arc'teryx, The Source, Gibbons Whistler, Baldface Lodge

Jamie Lynn ft. Brin Alexander
May 1301:49:09Tap to summarizeWe sit down with one of the greatest snowboarders of all time, Jamie Lynn. It's hard to put into words what snowboarding would've become without the passion, creativity, style, and raw skateboard influence Jamie brought to the culture. From exploding onto the scene in the early '90s to staying relevant for over 35+ years, Jamie has had one of the most impactful careers in snowboard history. A true snowboarder's snowboarder. This conversation was recorded during the 2026 Natural Selection Tour and after wrapping up the podcast, one of my close friends Brin Alexander happened to walk by the room. I figured we had to capitalize on the moment and get Brin on the mic too. Brin is one of the most promising young snowboarders coming out of Canada right now and honestly one of the most talented riders on the planet. The definition of an all-terrain snowboarder; park, powder, street, side hits the guy can ride absolutely everything. Jamie and I dive into topics like fatherhood, the early days of snowboarding, the evolution of snowboard culture, and how brands have failed the industry in the past. We also talk about how companies can move forward in a way that actually represents snowboarding and builds something lasting. Brin and I catch up on filming, Natural Selection and what's next for the new generation of snowboarding. Really grateful to have both of these legends on the podcast. Jamie is undeniably one of the most influential riders of all time and Brin is well on his way.

From halfpipe pressure to big mountain freedom, this one really shows who she is. A conversation with someone who's lived every side of snowboarding. Tune in. Honoured. 🙏
