Os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de Milão-Cortina 2026 ampliam a presença do Brasil nos esportes de neve. No snowboard halfpipe, Augustinho Teixeira e Pat Burgener representam o país em uma das provas mais técnicas do programa olímpico, historicamente dominada por potências europeias e norte-americanas. Luciana Quaresma, especial de Milão para a RFI Ambos nasceram fora do Brasil mas são filhos de mães brasileiras. Construíram carreiras no exterior mas neste ciclo olímpico decidiram defender o país que os conecta às suas origens, traduzindo em esporte uma escolha de identidade e pertencimento. Vaga olímpica e qualificação Para Augustinho Teixeira, que nasceu em Ushuaia, na Argentina, Milão-Cortina marca a estreia em uma Olimpíada de Inverno. O snowboarder garantiu sua vaga ao somar pontos consistentes no ranking de qualificação, em especial com desempenho na etapa da Copa do Mundo em Laax, na Suíça, onde terminou na 24ª posição, resultado que o manteve dentro das vagas classificatórias para os Jogos.   O jovem atleta, de 20 anos, que começou na neve ainda na infância ao lado da família vê essa qualificação como a consagração de anos de dedicação. “Estou vivendo algo inimaginável. A classificação para a Olimpíada é a prova de que o esforço, a disciplina e o foco em cada detalhe me trouxeram até aqui”, diz Augustinho, refletindo sobre sua trajetória. Além de garantir sua participação nos Jogos, Augustinho vem somando experiência em competições internacionais e foi o campeão em uma etapa da Copa Europeia de Snowboard halfpipe em Kitzsteinhorn, na Áustria — um marco importante em sua evolução esportiva.   Medalha histórica e Brasil no pódio Se Augustinho entra em Milão-Cortina fazendo sua estreia olímpica, Pat Burgener chega com um capítulo esportivo já escrito em grandes palcos internacionais. Nascido na Suíça e filho de mãe brasileira, Pat, de 31 anos disputou duas edições anteriores dos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno — em PyeongChang 2018 (5º lugar) e Pequim 2022 (11º lugar), representando o país europeu antes de optar por competir pelo Brasil no ciclo 2025/2026.   A temporada antes da Olimpíada já trouxe um momento histórico: Pat Burgener conquistou a primeira medalha da história do Brasil na Copa do Mundo de snowboard halfpipe, ao levar o bronze na etapa de Calgary, no Canadá, em janeiro deste ano.  O resultado marcou não apenas o melhor desempenho brasileiro na modalidade, mas também consolidou Burgener como uma das principais esperanças para Milão-Cortina. “Foi uma sensação incrível. Saber que meu nome entrou na história do esporte brasileiro, colocando o país no pódio pela primeira vez na Copa do Mundo de halfpipe, é algo que vai comigo para os Jogos”, comenta Pat. Essa conquista veio após um início de temporada promissor, que incluiu um quarto lugar em Secret Garden, na China, outro resultado destacado antes de Calgary.   Identidade, cultura e escolha consciente Para Augustinho, competir por uma bandeira que carrega simbolismo familiar é mais do que representar um país em uma competição: é traduzir uma história de vida. “O Brasil sempre foi parte da minha história, mesmo morando fora. Representar o país da minha mãe e levar essa bandeira ao halfpipe é algo que me enche de orgulho e responsabilidade”, ele afirma. Esse sentimento de conexão se reflete não apenas no patriotismo esportivo, mas na forma como ele vê seu papel dentro e fora da pista, como referência e inspiração para novos praticantes brasileiros de snowboard. Pat, por sua vez, reforça a ideia de que a escolha de representar o Brasil é também uma forma de expandir horizontes e criar novas possibilidades para a modalidade. “Defender o Brasil no snowboard é mais do que uma mudança de nacionalidade. É trazer visibilidade para um país que não é tradicional nos esportes de inverno e mostrar que aqui também pode haver espaço e oportunidades”, diz ele, ressaltando o apoio que tem recebido tanto da família quanto da federação brasileira. Snowboard brasileiro em foco Em Milão-Cortina 2026, Augustinho Teixeira e Pat Burgener não apenas competem nas pistas de neve, mas representam duas trajetórias que se cruzam sob a mesma bandeira e com propósitos que vão além dos resultados individuais. Unidos pelo mesmo objetivo de colocar o Brasil cada vez mais presente no cenário internacional do snowboard, eles mostram que a presença verde e amarela também pode ganhar espaço nas montanhas cobertas de neve, inspirando uma nova geração de atletas e fãs no país.

Stu tackles an uncomfortable question most Christians avoid: why would anyone actually want to go to heaven?Starting with 90s skateboarding culture and songs like "Heaven is a Halfpipe" and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," Stu explores why so many people associate heaven with restrictive authority rather than ultimate freedom. The cultural zeitgeist has always celebrated rebellion—so why would anyone choose eternal submission to God?Using 1 Corinthians 13, Stu reveals the true nature of heaven: it's not about activities or autonomy, it's about being face to face with Jesus. Right now we "see through a mirror dimly," living by faith rather than sight. But in heaven, faith gives way to direct relationship—seeing Jesus face to face every single day.Stu doesn't shy away from the doctrine of hell, presenting it as potentially a place where people continue to reject God even in eternity, "gnashing their teeth" not in regret but in ongoing anger at divine authority. It's a sobering reminder that not everyone loves Jesus—and those who don't won't want to be with him forever.The challenge: if you find church boring or faith difficult, the issue might not be external—it might be your relationship with Jesus himself. Because when you truly love him, gathering with the kingdom becomes a foretaste of eternity.Part of our God, Why? series.

At the age of 17, not many of us find ourselves competing for World Cup titles, or speaking in front of the United Nations. But then there's Bea Kim. Bea is one of the most impressive yet down-to-earth teenagers you are probably going to meet, and you'll definitely want to get to know her and her story. Bea and Jonathan talk about some of the key moments of her journey, including getting on the Mammoth snowboard team; the importance of mentors — and who some of the important ones are in Bea's life; what she's working on and thinking about right now; and what some of her hopes & dreams are for the future.RELATED LINKS:Join Bea on Team PowBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Training in Saas-Fee, Switzerland (1:52)Bea's Training Schedule on Team USA (2:52)Airbags (6:42)First Time on a Board?

What does it mean to succeed when you've reached the Olympic podium? How do you separate that success from your sense of self-worth? The world knows Chloe Kim as one of the greatest athletes ever. At 17, Chloe was the youngest person to win an Olympic gold medal in snowboarding. She was the first to win two gold medals in the Halfpipe. She was the first female snowboarder to have landed back-to-back 1080s. She is the first athlete ever to win all four major snowboarding titles in the Olympics, Worlds, Youth Olympics and X Games. Under the pressure and expectations of the world, how does Chloe stay true to herself? Now 24, Chloe holds so much wisdom. Grappling with her incredible success, she has sought to understand what truly matters - insights that have come from her moments of pain and struggle. In this conversation, Chloe opens up about how she found her way through her depression and anxiety. And how she finds inner peace. As the children of immigrant parents, Chloe and the Surgeon General talk about family and what the American Dream means to them. Ultimately, this episode is a meditation on where we find meaning in life. (00:03:15) Dr. Murthy and Chloe sort out Team Dog vs Team Cat tension. (00:05:38) Where did Chloe's love of snowboarding come from? (00:08:55) What inspired Chloe's parents to come to America? (00:12:45) What were the early days of snowboarding like for Chloe? (00:14:25) How Chloe learned to be fearless on the slopes & off the slopes (00:17:27) How do people's expectations of success affect Chloe? (00:20:50) How did Chloe get through her mental health struggles? (00:25:05) How did Chloe turn to therapy? (00:27:45) What brings Chloe (and Dr. Murthy) inner peace? (00:32:58) How do you live a life that's grounded in love? (00:38:20) What gives Chloe a sense of purpose when things get hard? (00:39:41) Chloe's evolving definition of success. (00:44:12) Chloe on her relationship to self-worth and loving herself. (00:47:04) What is Chloe's relationship to social media? (00:52:17) What does Chloe want her parents to know about what they mean to her? Special thanks to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition for collaboration on this episode.

After being accepted to Princeton University, Kim took the 2019–20 season off from competing to focus on her education. Returning in January 2021, after a 20-month hiatus from snowboarding competition, Kim continued her dominance of the sport, winning all 4 women's superpipe events in the 2020–21 season including her seventh X Games gold medal and her second World Championship. Kim has had just as much success off the mountain as she's had on it. She's been featured on Forbes 30 Under 30 list, Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People list, and Time's 30 Most Influential Teens list (3 years in a row), as well as the cover of Time Magazine, Shape Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated Kids, and ESPN Magazine. She also had an appearance in a Maroon 5 video and the Charlie's Angels reboot. Additionally, Kim has taken home 5 ESPY Awards, the 2022 Daring to Disrupt Award at Glamour Women of the Year Awards, 3 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Sports Awards, and 2 Laureus World Sports Awards. Kim was appointed as a member of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition on March 24, 2023, for a 2-year term. Kim, whose parents emigrated from Korea, now lives in Los Angeles and has been recognized for her positive impact in the Asian American community.

Rick Thorne is a BMX legend and the grind that he put in to achieve legendary status is why I do these podcasts. Rick wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth in a nice ski town. He grew up with a single mom, a sister, and the support of the infamous Kansas City bike crew, The BMX Brigade, led by Dennis McCoy. Through DMC, Rick saw a pathway to success, and, while it took a decade of grinding to make it happen for himself, Rick made it on his bike and headed west to the land of opportunity. The rest of the story is a total rollercoaster. On the podcast, we talk about the University of Olive Garden, the Hoffman influence, TV work, his band, and so much more. It's a do not miss episode, and the Inappropriate Questions come from none other than Mike “Rooftop” Escamilla Rick Thorne Show Notes: 4:00: Poop story, being an artist, Tattoos, his dad leaving young, growing up in Kansan City and getting into BMX 19:00:  Liquid Force: Since 95, Liquid Force has outperformed the competition and turned a sport into a lifestyle.

The X Games is the pinnacle event in action sports, and while it's not what it once was, the new ownership group, MSP Sports Capital, plans to not only turn that around but make the X Games property bigger than ever. There's a lot of excitement around the new regime and its plans, and the X Games media team invited me down to get my unbiased take on what X Games has turned into. As I do with all my events, I make sure to talk to athletes, legends, behind-the-scenes players, and more to uncover the future of X and give you insight into what X was like this year.

While Lucas Foster is not a one-trick pony, when he landed his Alley Oop Double McTwist in the pipe,  his career and his life totally changed forever.  What's crazy is that Lucas grew up in Telluride, a place without a halfpipe, meaning Lucas came up learning his tricks at contests with barely any practice.  Nowadays, Lucas has all the resources available to up the ante even more as he's a member of the US Snowboard Team, and at just 24, who knows what he'll add to his bag of tricks.

Peter Olenick changed halfpipe skiing when he landed the first double in competition. His “Whiskey Flip” defined Peter's life on and off snow; he went big, took chances, and partied his face off during his legendary career. He was on top of the contest world during one of the most run eras.

A true all-terrain board sports prodigy joins the podcast! UNLEASHED is proud to welcome snowboarder and multi-sport phenom Judd Henkes from Southern California. In his exclusive interview with The Dingo, Danny, and Brittney, the 22-year-old from La Jolla, California, details his passion for snowboarding and surfing, documented in the new Monster Energy film ‘Greenhorn, directed by the visionary Spencer Whiting, aka Gimbal God. Raised on the sunny beaches of La Jolla, California, Judd Henkes was destined to evolve into an all-around boardsports talent. After picking up snowboarding at the early age of four, skating and surfing came close behind. Over the years, Henkes rapidly progressed in all three board sports while excelling in all snowboard disciplines, a testament to his natural riding style and technical ability. At the mere age of 14, Henkes turned heads with an unprecedented fifth-place finish in Halfpipe at the vaunted 2016 Burton U.S. Open. As a member of the Mammoth Mountain Snowboard Team, he's been competing on the big stage in X Games and Dew Tour contests since 2019. As his next challenge, Henkes aims to represent the United States in the Winter Olympics as part of Team USA. Despite his contest ambitions, Judd also took on the challenge to showcase both his snowboarding and equally adept surfing skills in his new film ‘Greenhorn', documented behind the lens of progressive and hyper-creative Spencer Whiting.

Comment se relever après un grave accident ? Quelle leçon de vie en retient-on ? Kévin Rolland, que nous recevons aujourd'hui, est à 34 ans un des skieurs français avec le plus beau palmarès. Spécialiste de ski freestyle, et plus précisément de “halfpipe”, une discipline particulièrement acrobatique et spectaculaire, Kévin a remporté les plus belles médailles : Championnats du monde, X Games, Globes de Cristal, Jeux Olympiques… En avril 2019, il frôle la mort en tentant de battre le record du monde de saut en hauteur en ski. Il subit de graves blessures et reste plusieurs jours dans le coma, dont il se réveille quelques heures avant la naissance de son premier fils. Dans cet épisode, il partage avec nous le renversement de perspective qu'a entraîné cette chute et la période de rééducation qui s'est ensuivie. Lui à qui on avait annoncé qu'il ne pourrait peut-être même pas remarcher ne renonce pas à sa passion pour le ski. Il reprend même la compétition et finit 6e aux Jeux Olympiques de Pékin en 2022. Ses bonnes pratiques en matière de santé mentale : Savoir créer les conditions pour être dans le moment présent. Pour Kévin, écouter de la musique et visualiser sa course quelques minutes avant de se lancer lui permettent de se concentrer sur autre chose que la pression.  Pratiquer la gratitude pour relativiser les “petits problèmes” : être conscient du bonheur que peuvent nous procurer des gestes en apparence anodins.  Se concentrer sur la progression, sur toutes les petites étapes que l'on franchit, pour pouvoir surmonter les épreuves. Dans cet épisode, vous entendrez :  quelle est la place du mental dans un sport spectaculaire et risqué comme le ski freestyle  comment Kévin collabore sur les aspects techniques, physiques et mentaux avec son entraîneur - le même depuis qu'il a 6 ans ! le contexte de son grave accident en 2019  comment il a su rebondir et rester positif  quels sont ses rituels avant de s'élancer en compétition  quel rôle joue le stress dans sa performance  2"45 : sa passion pour le ski freestyle halfpipe 08”10 : leur collaboration avec son coach qui le suit depuis ses 6 ans  10”10 :  son retour sur son grave accident en 2019 14”50 : comment il a réussi à se relever après cet accident 29”47 : comment il a besoin d'être au pied du mur pour performer

Today we have a wonderful guest from the Canadian snowboarding world who featured in a previous podcast episode if you want to go listen to that one. Crispin is a former Olympic snowboarder and a partner in crime for Katie, specializing in the halfpipe event. Lipscomb made his World Cup debut in December 2002 at Whistler, and made his first podium later that season, with a bronze at Serre Chevalier. Crispin tells us about his experiences in the olympics, injuries and how they have been handled, and then we discuss skiing and sledding in the mountains with a snowmobile and how to make sure you don't end up with a stranded machine. Crispin's background 1:00A nasty accident 18:50Dreaming of success 23:55A shocking experience before the Olympic trials 29:40Coaching kids is a tough, tough job 37:10Discipline and structure 40:30Making sure you're up to check 45:00Going up a slope with a machine to ski or sled down 52:35What he's doing in Vernon these days 58:45What's coming up next 75:25“You learn as you go through, they come, they go, time passes, you get fine, but the first time it happens it's shocking and it's connected to your self worth, and your dreams and efforts are interrupted. Your goals are—your whole world, the sky falls down. So that was a really important lesson in learning and how to manage those injuries, and learning how to work with the physios and the trainers, and sports psych to put it into proper context.” 19:33@crispinlipscomb

Grete Eliassen is a true legend of Freeskiing. Not only did she win the first ever X Games Gold Medal for a female skier, but she's also a six-time X Games Medalist and World Champion who started dominating halfpipe podiums before moving on to the slopestyle course. On top of that, Grete's a two-time winner of the coveted ‘Female Performer of the Year' at the Powder Awards. When she's not filming or winning contests, Grete spends her time working for tech startups or serving as the President of the Women's Sports Foundation. She's still a pro skier, but she's also a podcaster, mom, wife, and more these days.

Lhotse Merriam Hawk's huge role in organizing the sport of big mountain skiing and beyond cannot be ignored or understated. As the Vice President of the International Freeskiers Association, an organization she helped co-found with Shane McConkey, she was a 1-woman band creating the infrastructure for the future of ski contests outside of what fell under FIS control. And go figure, this year, the crown jewel of big mountain freeride competitions, FIS, purchased the Freeride World Tour. Lhotse helps break down what this means and shares some stories about Shane McConkey, Seth Morrison, Tony Hawk, and more.

A creative project is like a halfpipe. The depth of the halfpipe from which you must ascend to finish a project is equal to the height of the optimism that prompted you to begin. But there's a way to build your project halfpipe so the project itself keeps you moving forward. The gravity of optimism pulls you into a project When you begin a project, you are optimistic. Why else would you start? You're interested in the subject matter, and you expect to succeed. This optimism serves as the gravity that pulls you into the project halfpipe. Without experience, you can't maintain the momentum to finish The momentum you build from this drop into the halfpipe may get you through much of the project, but will eventually run out. By the time you get to the other side of the halfpipe – the end of the project – you've forgotten the optimism you once had, and the friction of reality has sapped your energy. The project isn't as fun as it once was, and it hasn't been as easy as you had expected. You face a steep incline, and don't have the momentum to ascend. Experienced skateboarders know how to tweak their momentum, so they have enough energy to ascend the other side of a halfpipe. Like kicking their legs while riding a swing, they're able to climb higher and higher, as they go back and forth. Experienced creators know how to tweak their motivation, too, to ascend the other side of the halfpipe. They've finished enough projects, they know how to harness their momentum to make the most of their efforts, and coast through the tough parts. But the need for this experience is a catch-22: You don't know how to tweak your motivation to follow through if you haven't finished projects, and if you haven't finished projects you don't know how to tweak your motivation. A halfpipe is a closed system A halfpipe, with nothing but a skateboard rolling back and forth, is a closed system. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The energy from the descent into the halfpipe is not enough to get to the other side of the halfpipe, because much of it is wasted on friction. When you put a person on the skateboard, that adds a new energy source to the system. The skateboarder can move their body in ways that overcome the loss of energy from friction, thus maintaining enough momentum to get out of the halfpipe. But the skateboarder is a closed system, too. They require energy to move. Shiny object syndrome sets in when projects get tough Shiny object syndrome often sets in toward the end of a project. There are other halfpipes all around. The excitement of dropping into one and once again experiencing effortless momentum is a lot more fun than putting forth effort to get out of the current halfpipe. So, you switch projects – you switch halfpipes. Some creators, after dropping into enough halfpipes, figure out how to tweak their motivation to get through one – whether due to luck or experimentation. More often, they get frustrated with the endless cycle of shiny object syndrome, and burn out. They stop “skating” altogether. You learn to maintain momentum by finishing projects But, you can turn the closed system of a halfpipe into an open system that maintains your momentum, propelling you to the finish. If you use this method to finish more projects, you'll gain experience tweaking your motivation. Maybe you need an accountability partner – or maybe you hate obligation. Maybe you gain momentum by building prototypes – or maybe you prefer to develop a detailed plan. Maybe you like to talk about ideas with friends – or maybe you discover it causes you to lose your momentum. Do smaller projects, finish more projects If you aren't finishing projects, you can't learn what works for you. A great way to finish more projects is simply do smaller projects. When you do smaller projects, two things happen: One, you make the halfpipe shorter, and less shallow, so you don't run out of momentum so fast, and you can more easily find the internal motivation to get out of the halfpipe. Two, you can more easily get momentum from the project itself, in the form of feedback loops. For example, when I'm working on a new book, I don't just sit down and write a book. That's too long and deep a halfpipe. I might be excited going in, but I'll soon lose momentum, and I'll forget why I began in the first place. Instead, I break the process of writing into tiny projects, which feed into progressively larger projects. I write and share an idea on Twitter. If it does well on Twitter, I expand it into a newsletter. If it does well as a newsletter, I expand it into an article and podcast episode. After I complete this process enough times, I have a large collection of ideas I can share in my book. There's still a lot of work to be done: I need to weave the ideas together into a cohesive whole, not to mention edit the book, lay it out, design the cover, and market it. But that bigger halfpipe of writing the book is much easier to get through when fueled by the momentum of the smaller halfpipes of tweets, newsletters, and articles. In fact, through these smaller projects with feedback loops, my halfpipe is no longer a closed system. The projects themselves are providing the momentum. Big projects are like halfpipes: You lose momentum and get stuck. Small projects are like waves: Feedback loops keep you moving forward. Turn halfpipes into waves When you surf a wave, gravity is still pulling you down the face of the wave, but the wave itself is moving, too. This is why you sometimes hear the expression of “riding a wave,” in business. The success of an industry or trend becomes an outside force that keeps you moving, multiplying your efforts. The success of a project itself can become a wave, too. As blogger Tynan has pointed out, one reason it's hard to finish projects is that in the middle of the project, you've experienced all the downsides of working on the project, but none of the upsides of succeeding. You're stuck in the halfpipe. But if you design the project so you get some of that feedback throughout the process, you get to experience some upsides that keep you moving. This works for a lot of creative projects. You can't count the number of stand-up comedians who go to one open mic after another, testing out jokes, then take those jokes on the road to polish them, then weave it all together into a one-hour special, then repeat the process over again. Even War and Peace, written when publishing wasn't so rapid and didn't have such immediate feedback, was published serially, with a different name, and wasn't even intended to be a novel. It wasn't until later that Tolstoy wove it together, and re-wrote it. The next time you find yourself stuck in a project halfpipe, or switching to new projects each time a previous project gets tough, see if you can turn that halfpipe into a wave. Complete smaller projects that give you immediate feedback. You'll finish more projects, and learn to tweak your motivation well enough to soar out of larger and larger halfpipes.

It's taken a bit to process everything from my Leadville Trail 100. The race for me ended at Twin Lakes, mile 40. My plan to fuel and hydrate better by going out at a conservative pace was obviously too slow and might have worked better had I not expended so much mental and physical energy dealing with a lighting system that wasn't bright enough and my dicey depth perception and balance that led me to being too cautious navigating the rockier, uneven trail sections. I was moving ok but with a thin margin for error when my left hamstring cramped ¼ mile from Halfpipe aid station, mile 33. Despite eating salted mashed potatoes, salted watermelon, and a banana, the hammy continued to cramp up for the next 2-3 runnable miles. I got 250 mg. of salt from a fellow runner that immediately helped, but I'd lost too much time. I bombed down into Twin in a desperate attempt to beat the cutoff and have a shot at Hope Pass, but missed by about 15 minutes.Aside from the disappointment, I'm left with a few bright spots. I proudly represented Team Leadville and Warriors Ascent, which is a great organization supporting veterans experiencing PTS. I also had an amazing crew led by Brian Farrington, who had also paced me to the finish in 2015. My sister Ellen and nephew Matthew came out from Charlotte, NC to experience the magic of Leadville for the first time. Gabby Penaflor, who paced me to the finish in 2010, flew out last-minute from KC, and was responsible for the giant duck and other decorstions on top of the crew vehicle for easy spotting. Super appreciate 19-year old upcoming ultrarunning star Josh Taylor being there the whole time. Huge thanks as well to long-time supporters and all-around nice people Shelley, Scott, and Shane Miller. It's so amazing having all of those folks ready to give up their weekend while this old guy pursues his dreams in the mountains and tries to inspire younger folks to follow in my footsteps.Congrats to all of the finishers! There is seriously not much more inspiring than being at the Leadville finish line during the last two hours and seeing beaten-up warriors trudging the last of their 100 miles with their families and friends in tow. It was also cool seeing well-known runners like Hellah Sidibe and Harvey Lewis totally out of their elements and acknowledging what a beast the Leadville course is, yet still finding ways to get to the line. It was also inspiring to see Tyler Andrews, who's taken me on amazing journeys in South America, bravely fighting in obvious distress to a fourth-place finish.Finally, what a special treat getting to spend time with the amazing Simone Brick, and conversing with legends Ken Chlouber, Merilee Maupin, Cole Chlouber, and Travis and Mark Macy, joking around with the cutoff king and queen Mike and Sandy Monaghan as they followed me around, and chatting with some of the sport's luminaries like Robbie Balenger, Scott Jurek, Courtney Dauwalter, Hellah, Harvey, and more. And seeing tons of old friends along the course. I've got some things to adjust and then I'll be back!Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram @stahlor

Louie Vito is a badass snowboarder. He's an Olympian, a US Grand Prix Champion, a Dew Tour Champion, an X Games medalist, and he comes from a 300 vertical foot hill in Ohio. He also seems to know everyone form celebrities to pro athletes, he's competed in Dancing With The Stars, he's been in a Hollywood blockbuster movie and he's pretty humble about it all. On the podcast, we talk being Italian, his crazy work ethic, this influence of his dad, and so much more.

Marco de Santi has the most interesting journey of any athlete I've had on the podcast. Born in a less than desirable situation in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Marco did what every kid does; he played soccer until he found skateparks. Marco quit team sports and headed to the USA at age 15, with literally nothing, to make his pro skating dream happen. While Marco eventually became a world Champion, inline was dropped by X-Games, and the organizing body of his sport didn't include Marco in future events. So the first skater to land a triple was forced out of competition and into a life of LOVE, which he performs in every night with the Cirque de Soleil. It doesn't get more rags to riches than this one. Marco de Santi Show Notes: 3:30:  Issues around his backyard vert ramp, growing up in Sao Paolo, and family life 10:00:  Soccer, finding skating, stereotypes, roller rink skateparks, how does he pay to get to the US, and how does he stay 18:30:  Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code drinkfast Peter Glenn Ski and Sports:  Over 60 years of getting you out there 10 Barrel Brewery:  Buy their beers; they support action sports more than anyone 21:00:  Not speaking English, meeting me, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and problems with judging 32:00:  Mountain Dew, other sponsors, never wearing pads, and spending time at Woodward 34:00:  The Yasutoko Brothers, the triple, and what's cool about X Games 39:30:  Rollerblade: Ski season may be over, but that feeling lasts all year with inline skating Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better 41:30:  Nerves, Silver at X Games, losing X Games, and then getting screwed by the ASA 47:00:  Winning World Championships, all things Cirque de Soleil's LOVE (skating, money, injury, perks), building his Vegas empire, and day trading 54:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Hardcore Brazil,Carlos Pianowski
