The Snowboard History Variety Show

About this episode

This episode explores the history of snowboarding with stories about jibbing, early technology, and notable figures in the sport.

Get prepped to go down the snowboard history rabbit hole in this casual, made-for-the-heads spring special. Jen and Tricia go BTS on the birth of jibbing in Colorado, do recon on an alleged parking lot brawl with the Burton A team, and drop in deep on the early 90s tech that enabled the ultimate tweak. From Trent Bush talking about the death of the “surf turn” to Jason Ford’s tale of the first time he saw Roan Rogers ride, this episode is a spring bouquet of unsolicited (yet highly interesting) information—plus bonus stories from previous episodes. Thanks for listening—it’s been a great ride. Stay tuned as we sprout some new shows for Going Off Season 2.
