The Rad Matters podcast is the direct result of the snowboard industry being so far off track for the last 20 years that I had to start a podcast. Oftentimes a viable solution is masked by my bombastic reactions to the selfish nature of the snowboarding community/industry. The snowboarding community/industry oughtI to be burned to the ground but until then I’ll sniff out the weak-links like a God damn truffle pig. I’ve no bones to pick with anyone nor do I have skin in the game at this point.

Jobs
RM020Jobs Does the snowboard industry hire from within it’s own pool of pro snowboarders? It’d be a lot cooler if it did. Be it 2yrs, 5, 10 or 25 years as a pro snowboarder either way it’ll get you nowhere. Whether a dude was filming or competing, whatever brand was paying for that is losing out on their investment by not hiring/utilizing the dudes they’ve invested in. It’s like training a pilot for years only to hire someone w/out his ‘training’ because they look better on paper. One would t...

Snowboarding has damn near been taken over by Un-vetted industry dudes that don’t give a shit about snowboarding. Snowboardings future needs big thinkers willing to go to the mat for our beloved sport. . Help Support Rad Matters Podcast Glittering prizes and endless compromises, shat...
