    Lindsey Jacobellis was the darling of the 2022 Olympic Games with her double gold performance.

    2 SEPT

    Alex Beaulieu-Marchand, Pro Skier, Olympic Medalist, TV Commentator

    Alex Beaulieu-Marchand wasn’t born to be an Olympian. He was one of those core super-grom kids who skied the streets with his older friends. While other future Olympians were focused on adding rotations, ABM was focused on mastering rails, which would become his secret weapon. Through a random series of events, ABM found his way on to the Dew Tour and from there, the contest opened for the kid who liked skiing the streets. On the podcast, we talk urban, contests, not having a win-at-all-costs mentality, and a lot more. Alexi Godbout asks the Inappropriate Questions. Alex Beaulieu-Marchand Show Notes: 4:00:  Poop story, Goepper, not caring about winning, skiing is part of the family, no hockey for you, snowboarding and then focusing on skiing and being a grom 21:00:  Club Med:  Click here for the best vacation of your life Stanley:  The brand that invented the category!

  6. Rick Thorne, BMX Legend, TV Personality, Singer

    19 AUG

    Rick Thorne, BMX Legend, TV Personality, Singer

    Rick Thorne is a BMX legend and the grind that he put in to achieve legendary status is why I do these podcasts. Rick wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth in a nice ski town. He grew up with a single mom, a sister, and the support of the infamous Kansas City bike crew, The BMX Brigade, led by Dennis McCoy. Through DMC, Rick saw a pathway to success, and, while it took a decade of grinding to make it happen for himself, Rick made it on his bike and headed west to the land of opportunity. The rest of the story is a total rollercoaster. On the podcast, we talk about the University of Olive Garden, the Hoffman influence, TV work, his band, and so much more. It’s a do not miss episode, and the Inappropriate Questions come from none other than Mike “Rooftop” Escamilla Rick Thorne Show Notes: 4:00: Poop story, being an artist, Tattoos, his dad leaving young, growing up in Kansan City and getting into BMX 19:00:  Liquid Force: Since 95, Liquid Force has outperformed the competition and turned a sport into a lifestyle.

    12 AUG

    Guenther Oka, Pro Wakeboarder

    Guenther Oka was looked at as the best all-around wakeboarder in the world…and then he had a devastating knee injury.  While there was uncertainty, Guenther worked his ass off during physio, put out a Red Bull project and this year, he’s back to the competition scene.  With podiums in his first 3 events back, not only has Guenther not lost a step, but he’s stepped forward with a brand-new mindset, which could be scary for his competition. On the podcast, we talk about waterski bloodlines, coming up in Ohio, Wake Nation, touring, sponsors, money, and a lot more. Aaron Grace asks the Inappropriate Questions Guenther Oka Show Notes: 4:00:  The injury, The Wake Glade Project, coming back to contests, growing up in Ohio to water and ski bums 20:00:  Liquid Force: Since 95, Liquid Force has outperformed the competition and turned a sport into a lifestyle.
