What “Roadkill” Says About Snowboarding In 1993

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the 1993 snowboard film 'Roadkill' and its significance in the evolution of snowboarding.

Arguably the most beloved snowboard movie of ’93 captures an essential time—in a unique way. Roadkill, a 24-minute Fall Line Films production, was the birth of “new school,” and a spark that ignited soon-to-be legendaries like Jamie Lynn, Bryan Iguchi and Terje Haakonsen. In this episode, Jen and Tricia sit down with Roadkill director Dave Seoane to expound on the making of this loud-and-fast ode to the road. Stay tuned for talk of technical butters and unapologetic big pants, mad respect to resort riding, and sliding vintage Caddy limos through snowdrifts on the Mt. Baker Highway. They divulge what it took to shoot and release a 16mm film in 2 months, dropping it mid-winter (instead of the next fall) to capture the era’s rapid progression. They uncover what it meant to be a snowboarder in 1993—when freestyle snowboarding was being reinvented by names that are still in our hall of GOATs.
