The Wild Cannons podcast is all about snowboard culture in the Pacific Northwest. We want to go deeper, explore, and expand on what we as riders do outside of snowboarding (fishing, moto, mtn biking, etc)—expanding on passions and “life” when not on the snow. We will invite guests/friends/professionals living a rider lifestyle or working in the industry to each podcast. The vision is to also highlight the rider and the locally owned businesses they own, work for or associate with. This way, we can support each other on and off the mountain.

    Nick Strother | Episode 27

    Nick Sto has become a well-known rider in Spokane and North Idaho. He currently lives in Sandpoint and has spent the last couple of winters working at Schweitzer, with summers back in Wallace. He recently had a standout part in Jib Junk's: F**k You Pay Me. When he’s not out in the streets stacking clips, you can find Nick traveling in search of powder. He’s a bit of a man of mystery, every time you meet up with him, you learn something new. Some might say he’s Wallace’s version of the Dos Equis guy: a worldly adventurer with many accomplishments, “The Most Interesting Man in the World.” Over the past few years, he’s also helped host the Wallace Ski Jor event. Nick is super kind, humble, mysterious, and a sneakily good all-around rider. We get into Reno, Tahoe Pigs, tweakers, gambling, that "one night" in China and much more!  Keep up with Nick Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@nickstr0 This Episode sponsored by Bear Ridge Trail Builders & Excavation  Website: Bearridgetrails.com  Instagram: @bear_ridge_ Jib Junk FYPM:  https://youtu.be/TP9WdBe3GGwsi=00AiA2vR_2yadOp1 Hosted by: Wild Cannons Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@wildcannons Email: ⁠⁠⁠wildcannonspodcast@gmail.com Partnership: Uprise Brewing Co.

    Carl Montoya | Episode 26

    Carl Montoya is a Mission Ridge local, an elite powder chaser, with killer edge control, and rides with a timeless style. He’s a world traveler, experienced Baja racer, mountain biker, and someone who consistently rides bell to bell. He’s still competing in banked slaloms, stepping onto podiums, and bringing home hardware. Carl has a deep passion for boards, bikes, Toyotas, gears, punk music and, most importantly, his family. He’s a beast when it comes to hiking into steep, spicy backcountry zones and on the wave in Chelan. He’s someone you trust in the sidecountry at Stevens Pass and behind the wheel while road-tripping through South America. Fun-loving, hardworking, and driven, we’re only scratching the surface of his story! We’re beyond fired up to have one of our close friends in the studio!

    Jake Rose | Episode 25

    Jake Rose was a standout rider for Pistole Boardshop who made the jump from riding the terrain park and streets of Spokane to becoming a sponsored rider. He always oozed style and carried himself with a humble swagger. He is loved by so many, and everyone you ask will say he is genuinely one of the nicest guys around. Super loyal and incredibly kind. Then there’s the image of Jake with missing teeth, long hair, a big beard, drinking 40-ounce beers and smashing bottles on rails… and yet somehow, he was—and still is—one of the most approachable, fun loving, down-to-earth guys on the mountain. This is a can't miss episode!  Keep up with Jake Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rakejose421 Hosted by: Wild Cannons Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@wildcannons Email: ⁠⁠⁠wildcannonspodcast@gmail.com   Partnership: Uprise Brewing Co.

    Bryce Rich | Episode 24

    Bryce Rich has been an integral part of the local snowskate culture, from creating and designing boards to hosting snowskate events. He is the co-owner of Boyd Hill Snowskates, which was started in 2009. Boyd Hill has manufactured dozens of different snowskate shapes and continues to remain at the forefront of the sport. The company believes that rider input is the key to its success. For this reason, Boyd Hill continues to produce boards featuring new shapes, materials, construction techniques, and camber profiles. In this episode, we dive into how Boyd Hill Snowskate got started, explore a brief history of snowskating, discuss the inception of the SortaNatural, and Gary the cat!

    Mike Miller | Episode 23

    Mike has captured so much of what we hold closest as skateboarders and snowboarders - getting clipped up! For basically an entire generation of Spokane-area riders, he has been the filmer. Documenting sessions, trips back east, and local moments that might have otherwise been lost to time. He has and continues to put the lens on so many local and regional talents, giving them visibility to us locally and nationwide. On the flipside he also brought pro riders to our area to film and get clips. Beyond just documenting tricks, Mike still skates and snowboards! In this episode we get into his time as a night janitor in Tahoe, how he got into filming, late night nachos, sleeping under the stairs, road trips, knowing when to hype up or keep your mouth shut when riders are battling a spot, Team Pitchers and so much more!

    Phil Schulz | Episode 22

    Phil is best known as the manager who cultivated the Mt. Spokane terrain park into what it is today. He built a team culture rooted in respect, hard work, and genuine camaraderie. His crew came back season after season because they didn’t just work for him, they believed in his vision of what the park could be. Phil helped shape the park into a place for everyone: dedicated rail riders, jumpers, beginners and the old heads looking to hit some steel and catch a bit of air. Phil was also pivotal in bringing the rope tow to life, pushing the park into a new era of progression and accessibility. Phil wasn’t just a manager. He was a builder of culture, a champion of inclusivity, and a friend to countless riders who felt his impact. This episode we get into surfing, climbing, fit checks, summers at Mt. Hood, Thunder Bears, lost radios, and so much more!  Show Flow 00:00 Intro to Phill Schulz 02:53 Phil's Background and Early Life 04:45 Phil's Snowboarding Journey 11:02 Surfing Adventures 15:51 Mt.

From glizzies and life as a lifty to fly fishing, 7B, clip high, Barcelona, ski racers, lawn darts, skating, living life by the slice and plenty more!
