About this episode

Jake Pates shares his journey from stepping away from snowboarding due to concussions to representing the USA in the Olympics.

Not many people can step away from snowboarding entirely, return, and then make their way to the Olympics. Well, Jake Pates is one of them ones. After battling concussions and their severe side effects he stepped away. After a few years he made his return and not thing we know he’s representing the USA in The Olympics. Since then he’s been galavanting the globe on private jets, replying to some of the thirstiest DMs we’ve ever heard, and crushing every contest that comes his way.
