The Rad Matters podcast is the direct result of the snowboard industry being so far off track for the last 20 years that I had to start a podcast. Oftentimes a viable solution is masked by my bombastic reactions to the selfish nature of the snowboarding community/industry. The snowboarding community/industry oughtI to be burned to the ground but until then I’ll sniff out the weak-links like a God damn truffle pig. I’ve no bones to pick with anyone nor do I have skin in the game at this point.

RM020Jobs Does the snowboard industry hire from within it’s own pool of pro snowboarders? It’d be a lot cooler if it did. Be it 2yrs, 5, 10 or 25 years as a pro snowboarder either way it’ll get you nowhere. Whether a dude was filming or competing, whatever brand was paying for that is losing out on their investment by not hiring/utilizing the dudes…

RM013 Call me crazy, but you’d have to be blind to not see that we’ve been played by skiing/skiers and the fanboys parading as sports journalists isn’t helping. To act as though snowboarding is a youth market for the last 20+ years while giving away our language and culture is embarrassing. When you don’t work for something yourself, you don’t thin…
