    Pear - FNRad S11E5

    Send us a text

    Pear was my coworker and boss at The Boardroom for the better part of 15 years. Pear's sensibilities lead the charge on a lot of cool Boardroom stuff like snowboard contests, events, movie premieres, and tons of free booze parties for the Boardroom staff. As a career shop rat turned general manager Pear was a mentor and friend throughout the golden years of snowboarding. Enjoy this episode with Pear.

    Ben Bilocq - FNRad S11E4

    Send us a text

    Ben Bilocq is a pro snowboarder who filmed many video parts with crews like Deja Vu and Videograss. His unmistakable smooth style partners with his quiet demeanour to let his snowboarding do the talking. It's common these days to see Ben at Seymour. And when you're lucky you might get to ride a Ben-built feature. He mostly builds for big events like the Uninvited Invitational or Natural Selection but he's also know to build stealth side hits at Seymour so keep your eyes peeled. Stoked to have Ben back on the show. Enjoy

    Mark McMorris - FNRad S11E3

    Send us a text

    Mark McMorris, Russel Chai, and Brock Crouch joined skier Max at the UBC Ski and Snowboard Club presentation of Redbull's Paved Q&A. I set up in the background, recorded it and am putting it out as a McMorris episode... I've been working on getting the great Canadian Superpro snowboarder on the show for over ten years and even after meeting him at this event I'm not holding my breath. As an x-game, olympic, and Natural Selection medal winner Mark McMorris is a busy guy. Wish me luck on landing a one on one with him sometime in the next ten years...

    Why Ingemar Backman Was Considering Selling One Of The Most Famous Snowboards

    Send us a text

    This week was crazy with Ingemar asking in the Facebook group Vintage Snowboard Estimates "How much is this board worth" about the actual Atlantis board he rode at Riksgransen in 1996 for that epic backside air.

    When I reach out to ask him what was up, he told me he was wrapping his head around what was happening and that we could record a short podcast to explain to the overwhelming number of people who'd reached out to him what was going on.

    Kearns - FNRad S10E25

    Send us a text

    Sean Kearns answers listener questions!

    Sean's life sounds like ten of my lives. He's been a sponsored skater, professional snowboarder, international snowboard filmer, movie producer, talent manager, studio director, and registered therapist. And that's an incomplete list. Kearns is infamous for living the Whiskey movies and holding Whistler hostage during snowboardings boom years. And I consider him one of the most caring people you could ever meet.

    Coincidences happen for me when Sean is around. And I interpret those coincidences as messages from my life guides telling me I'm on the right path. He's been a huge influence on my life, changing its course in a big way several times. 

    The final episode of FNRad Season Ten is the definitive Fucking Rad Guest doing something he does very well, speaking in a very real way about his very cool life. Enjoy.
