  • Episode 45 - Keegan Kilbride
    Dec 31 2023

    Episode presented by K2 skis!

    Discussion with pro skier, X Games medalist and street skiing legend, Keegan Kilbride!

    In the past decade, Keegan has established himself as one of the top pro skiers in the film word with his street segments in Level 1 movies and in others projects like HG skis' ''Eat the Guts'', 2018's X Games real ski and his self-produced project ''Slim to none''. This December, Keegan dropped ''Videopart'' a 2-year street project that shows why he's considered one of the best street skier in the world.

    In this episode, we talked about Keegan's life in the past 2 years since our last talk (from episode 24). His move from Maine to Los Angeles and his current work at Stept studios. We discuss his ski sponsor move joining the K2 team. Even though Keegan is focused on filming, we take some time to talk about the many events he's done including X Games knuckle huck, dew tour, Level 1 rail jams & superunknown XX. We chat about Keegan joining the monster team and the story on how the team up came to life. We close off the episode going in detail into his new ''Videopart'', an incredible short film.

  • Episode 44 - Tom Wallisch
    Oct 20 2023

    Discussion with X-Games gold medalist and freeskiing legend, Tom Wallisch

    Tom is the GOAT of freeskiing. He’s one of the most influential freeskier of all time. He’s won every competition there is and has filmed countless segments with pretty much every production company there is. Since stepping away from competitions in 2015, he's still been super active on the scene by producing films with 'Good company' while also hosting his own events and being the voice of freeskiing on television.

    In this episode, we discussed Tom’s work as the voice of freeskiing on television covering the biggest events including the X-games and the olympics. We also talked about his film production company “Good company” and the story behind its inception in 2015. We then go in depth about his new film “crescendo” ! The challenges of producing ski movies, putting together a full segment at 35, filming with long time friends AJ Dakoulas and Tim Mcchesney, filming with skiers of the new generation like Tucker Fitzsimons and Walker Woodring, witnessing someone on top of his game like Colby Stevenson and much much more!

    Aug 25 2023

    Discussion with pro skier, X-Games gold medalist and Olympic gold medalist, Alex Hall

    Alex is one of the best and most well-rounded skier in the world right now. While the sport has gotten hyper specialized in the last decade, Alex thrives in so many aspects of the sport winning X-Games big air, Olympic slopestyle while also filming some of the best street skiing and backcountry videos in between competitions. Alex is a true freeskier at heart and it's awesome to see him push all aspects of the sport.

    In this episode, we discussed about everything that happened since our last episode together 2 years ago. Winning X-Games gold in 2022 with a switch 2160, going on to win the 2022 Olympics in China. Switching it up this season with a different mindset for competitions. Working on the soon to be released 'Magma 3' with friends Hunter Hess and Owen Dahlberg. Filming for Faction's upcoming project 'Abstract'. His recent push on social media regarding FIS's pay of freeski events compared to other sports.
