    40 - FYNN BULLOCK - BONIFAY BANTER

    This week, Parks and Shane sit down with Fynn Bullock, a guy doing something not many athletes can say they do — competing professionally in two completely different board sports. Fynn is a pro wakeboarder AND a pro snowboarder, spending half the year chasing summer on the water and the other half chasing winter in the mountains. And he's not just competing in both — he's winning. Fresh off a massive contest win and a $50,000 payday at Wakefest, Fynn joins the boys to talk about what it takes to travel the world and compete at the highest level in two sports. Parks is especially intrigued by how the two worlds cross over. Does training for snowboarding make Fynn a better wakeboarder? Does wakeboarding help him on the mountain? Or does trying to stay at the top of two sports actually make things harder? The boys get into: 💰 Fynn's huge recent win and taking home $50,000 at Wakefest 🏂 Spending half the year competing as a professional snowboarder 🌊 Spending the other half traveling and competing as a professional wakeboarder 🤔 The similarities and differences between wakeboarding and snowboarding 💪 Whether competing in two sports helps or hurts his progression ✈️ What it's like basically traveling the world year-round 🔥 Spin To Win, Rapid Fires, and Patreon questions 🎥 Looking back at an edit Shane made with Fynn about five years ago and how much has changed since then Fynn is one of those athletes who's hard to put in a box. Whether he's strapped into a wakeboard or a snowboard, he's finding ways to progress, compete, and win. This is a great conversation about what it takes to chase two professional careers at the same time — and somehow make it work.

    Parks and Shane are joined by some of the best female wakeboarders in the world, Zahra Kell and Euge De Armas, just before Stop 2 of the Pro Wakeboard Tour. (This episode was recorded before the event and released afterward.) Since then, Euge has gone on to win the stop and now sits at the top of the Pro Tour points standings! The girls stop by the Banter Studio for an awesome conversation covering everything from career-defining moments to life growing up on opposite sides of the world. In this episode, the crew talks about: 🏆 Euge's journey to the top of professional wakeboarding and what has her riding better than ever 🩼 Zahra's crash on a ts 9 that tweaked her knee a little but not to worry, she will back on it in no time  🇦🇺 Growing up wakeboarding in Australia with Zahra 🇦🇷 Euge's upbringing in Argentina and how her older sister inspired her to start riding 💥 Some of their biggest crashes and the lessons they've learned along the way 🎥 Shane's memories of filming with them on Liquid Force trips in Australia, Lake Powell, and all over the world ⏸️ Zahra's decision to step away from riding for two years and what ultimately brought her back to the sport ZAHRA KELL INSTA  https://www.instagram.com/zahrakell/?hl=en EUGE DE ARMAS INSTA https://www.instagram.com/eugedea/?hl=en The conversation is full of laughs, old stories, and great insight into what it takes to compete at the highest level. It was awesome having both of these incredible athletes back in the studio, and even better seeing the women's side of the sport continuing to grow and push wakeboarding forward.

    Bonifay Banter — Episode 36 | Aaron Katen This week, the tables get turned in the Banter Studio as Aaron Katen steps in and practically takes over the show. Instead of Parks and Shane asking all the questions, Katen puts the Bonifay brothers in the hot seat and takes the conversation in every direction imaginable.

    35 - SETH ENSLOW - BONIFAY BANTER

    Bonifay Banter — Episode 35 | Seth Enslow… & Scott Byerly The Banter Studio welcomes a true legend. Seth Enslow joins Parks and Shane, alongside longtime friend Scott Byerly, for one of the wildest conversations we've had yet. Seth literally drove thousands of miles from California to Florida to make this episode happen, and the boys couldn't have been more stoked. Growing up, Parks and Shane watched Seth do things on a motorcycle that most people wouldn't even attempt in their dreams. From setting distance records and launching jumps over 300 feet, to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the legendary Crusty Demons of Dirt films, Seth built his reputation by doing things the hard way. The crashes were often as famous as the jumps themselves, but what made Seth different was that he'd get back up and do it again... and again... and again. In this episode, the crew talks about: 🏍️ How Seth and Scott Byerly first met  🔥 Getting into the legendary Crusty Demons films  🛣️ Riding his motorcycle from California to Florida  🤝 Meeting a fan along the way who wanted one of his old bikes  🚀 The stories behind his biggest record-breaking jumps  💥 Walking through some of the most gnarly crashes of his career  🎸 Playing music and life beyond motocross  🍻 The old party days  🌉 Fresno Smooth and the moments that became motocross history Seth is exactly what you'd hope he'd be—honest, hilarious, humble, and full of stories that sound almost too crazy to be true. If you grew up watching motocross, action sports, or just love hearing about people who refused to quit no matter how hard they hit the ground, this episode is for you. Tune in and hear the stories behind some of the biggest jumps, hardest crashes, and most unforgettable moments in action sports history.
