Quotes from the episode:

“There was no one telling us what was cool, what wasn’t cool or how to do it… and at that time, I mean what was right? It was 1986.”

“Get on the floor and push a penny with your nose – high school hazing.”

“At that time skaters stuck together.”

“We had four sheets of plywood leading to a launch ramp – we landed in the grass, cause that’s what we had in the country.”

“I was a snow TM, the GM and I was running Iota sales.”

“I liked the idea of begging a question, that’s unique – it makes them ask and inquire and it gives them an opportunity to learn.”

“It’s not that we’re in the midwest and in the plains, it’s that we’re a vehicle and we’re moving through theses different dimensions.”

“There are riders and you can ride a board, but you pilot a board.”

“You ride an Interior board and you’re riding a piece of my heart.”

“If saving five bucks on something means the world to you, I’m sorry that’s your reality.”

“Online’s not the devil, but if you’re not supporting your local shops, you’re not supporting the community of snowboarding.”

“The thing that snowboarding fucked up al long time ago is that they started sponsoring all of theses kids – in the bike industry a sponsored rider is still paying for their frame.”

“The midwest is the fabric of snowboarding.”

“Reverse camber is just an old construction that was brought back and reinvented. It comes back to culture, in America we want everything easier.”
