SE5:EP3 - Chris 'Gunny' Gunnarson: Building on Progression

Head to any Woodward Mountain Center and you'll immediately be drawn to the kids in the Jib Park and Peace Park pushing themselves to new heights. Since Woodward's humble beginning over 50 years ago as a gymnastics camp in Pennsylvania, progression has been central to its mission. Today, Woodward centers span the globe including Utah's Woodward Park City. In this episode of Last Chair, we catch up with a legend in action sports, Chris “Gunny” Gunnarson. Now the president of Woodward globally, Gunny's three decades in action sports has paralleled the dramatic growth from surf to skateboard to snowboard to ski.Beginning at Snow Summit and Big Bear in southern California, Gunnarson quickly became a leader in the sport from building snow terrain for the X-Games beginning in year one, to crafting private training venues that sent athletes like Shaun White on to olympic gold. Along the way, he built a reputation as a leader in progression with his company Snow Park Technologies and a capable partner with resorts, ultimately helping the world's greatest athletes achieve pinnacles of success in their career.And while his career has been marked by relationships with the greatest athletes, Gunnarson is quick to point out that what's central to his own mission is to bring that experience to enthusiasts of all ages and ability levels. Today, he leads Woodward on a global journey to provide fun and progression for all.As a boy growing up in SoCal in the ‘60s and ‘70s, he was immersed in the cultural revolution of action sports. His life was centered around skateboarding and a little surfing. But when he discovered snowboarding at 13, he used every angle to get up to the mountains and ride on snow.Here's teaser of Gunny's Last Chair interview, which takes you back into the origin years of the culture of snowboarding and tracks you through the impact Woodward is making with people of all ages.Let's go back to the beginning – YOUR beginning!Oh man, how I got involved in sport. I mean, I think I was around five when I got on a surfboard. I know I was seven when I got on a skateboard and I had a bike like every other kid in the neighborhood. And I heard about snowboarding when I was 13. In fact, for my 13th birthday, my dad took us up. I lived in San Diego, so I grew up in the southern California hotbed of board sports. And it was funny. My mom and dad were like, oh, snowboarding? You know, we used to ski before you were born and I didn't even know what skiing was, really. And so we get up to the local mountain and they were like, ‘no snowboarding allowed.' We had rented some boards from the local surf shop. I rented a Chuck Barfoot board and they were like, ‘no snowboards allowed.' My dad got so angry and he's like, ‘I used to ski here all the time. What do you mean no snowboards allowed?' And so we ended up just … we had rented a cabin with a couple of my buddies for my 13th birthday to go snowboarding, trying to figure it out, you know, falling a lot just on this back hill. And I knew right then and there, like, I have got to figure out a way to do this for the rest of my life. And somehow I lucked out.So you must have had some good skateboarding roots in SoCal?Well, it was kind of all I knew. And, you know, sort of in my high school teen years, I was living up in the outskirts of LA, so I was skating swimming pools. There was a big earthquake in Northridge, and there were lots of empty swimming pools. We had maps of pools from condemned buildings and houses. And so we'd show up with buckets, mops, and we would skate all these different pools. I think we skated Tom Petty's pool at one point. It was like a condemned house that he'd owned or something like that. But that was my whole life and culture was skating and a little bit of surfing, but mostly skateboarding and trying to find as many pathways to get up to the mountains as possible.Were your business wheels turning yet in your mind?Honestly, not even a little bit. At that point, it was just living life, having fun and trying to skate as much as possible.What was your first job in the industry?I've had a lot of jobs in my lifetime, but my first job in the industry was at Snow Summit in Big Bear Lake. I was fresh out of high school, and I was going to try and make it as a pro snowboarder, get whatever job I could on the mountain, and, funny enough, I got a job with the patrol at Snow Summit at the time. Being based right in Southern California obviously was right in the middle of what I'll call boardsport Mecca, except they weren't quite there yet. And so I get this job as a snowboarder, but on patrol, thinking, ‘oh, I'm just going to, you know, snowboard a lot.' But I actually ended up really loving patrol and really loving resort operations – becoming a sponge and learning everything I could. They were a very progressive thinking resort ski resort, and they were just starting to launch terrain parks, and none of the other patrol guys wanted to deal with the terrain parks.Was there a turning point for you when you saw your career as a terrain park developer come to light?Over time, that was a real paradigm shift. The terrain park movement, which really was born out of Big Bear, also was a paradigm shift in the entire world of winter sports in the sense that right there in Southern California, it was meeting a market need. But as it became a broader national interest of how do we deal with these rowdy snowboarders and contain them? And now there's freestyle skiers that want to do the same kind of stuff – like we should just give them their own venue to do that kind of stuff and keep them in a little contained area so they don't screw with the rest of the mountain operations. But who knows how to do this kind of stuff? And that is actually when I saw a business opportunity.Gunny, what was it that motivated you to bring your lifelong action sports skills and knowledge to Woodward, now serving as global president?I've known of Woodward virtually my entire career – I mean, you can't be in this in the action sports universe without knowing what Woodward is. You know, it's got a 53-year legacy. I was super intrigued when I learned that Powdr, a ski resort company, had bought Woodward because, you know, everybody knew Woodward as a camp out in Pennsylvania. And it was the Holy Land. Like, if you were going to be a competing skateboarder, BMX athlete, that's where you went. And so when Powdr bought Woodward, I was certainly paying attention from afar. But to answer your question – there I was, life was good, I owned my own company, I had my own TV show. And the folks at Powdr came and said, ‘hey, we want to talk to you about you coming in and helping us figure out how to best propel Woodward from where it currently is.' And I left it all. I moved to Park City, Utah from Truckee.Talk about progression and why it's important to Woodward?Humans want to fly. They want to move. They want to move their bodies. They want to challenge themselves. All the way from the youngest ages – you can hear the kid right behind me. He's jumping on the trampoline. He's figuring out how to move his body in the air, whether he's doing a backflip or just monkeying around. We have zone coaches. We have an entire array of different types of programming, from casual, easy, fun all the way to very focused clinics and training so that people can get better. It's human nature to want to get better, whether you're a golfer or a swimmer or whatever your thing is. And our thing is action sports. And this is where you can do it. And we've got the right people and the right tools and environments to do it.What does it mean to you to be involved with a program like this that just means so much for kids?It means so much because we were all kids at one point and some of us are still kids at heart. I'm looking at you, Tom. I consider you one. I'd like to believe I'm one. And to go back to that sort of joy that you had as a kid when, you know, life was sort of carefree and innocent. We all want that, right? And so here at Woodward, yes, there's a huge focus on kids, but there's also a big focus on kids and families – you know, just sort of what it's like growing up in today's era. I'm glad we can be a bright spot in that way. It's nice to have a spot where you're feeling a part of something, you're learning skills and you're doing something besides sitting on your couch, looking at your phone or looking at the TV. And so as a parent, that means a lot to me for my kids, but also in my role with Woodward means a lot to know that we're the kind of place that can really help shape lives. I have so many parents come to me and tell me how Woodward literally changed their kids' lives. Just last week someone told me that Woodward literally changed the way his daughter approached college, how she got into college, how she's developed a career path, and that she's gunning for my job someday, which I'm like, ‘bring it on.' Listen to the interview to learn more about one of action sports' most interesting and influential figures. Like how many times he's been backstage for Nirvana, what he loves to drive in the Utah desert sand and the skateboarding heroes who helped forge his childhood in Southern California. He shares his personal background with stars like Shaun White, Danny Davis and Jamie Anderson. And he is emotional about the death of his friend and action sports legend Ken Block earlier this year. This hour with Gunny truly captures the spirit and culture of action sports and the passion his Woodward team has to bring it to guests of all ages. Let's dig in to this episode of Last Chair.

Greater Atlanta Christian opens investigation into sexual assault claims

Greater Atlanta Christian School has hired an independent investigator to look into newly surfaced allegations of sexual misconduct against a former teacher who left the school nearly 20 years ago. A graduate recently made an allegation on social media that the teacher abused them when they attended the school in the 1980s. The teacher has not been identified by the school. The investigation will be conducted by Laura Kirschstein from T&M USA LLC, who has experience in conducting similar investigations for independent schools across the nation. The school is asking alumni to come forward with any information about past incidents of sexual misconduct and has provided contact information for the investigator. The school said this is the first time someone has made accusations of sexual misconduct against the former teacher who is the subject of the investigation. Residents in the Buford area of Gwinnett County have been warned to watch for pets or animals that may have rabies after a rabid raccoon was killed in the area earlier this week. Gwinnett Animal Welfare and Enforcement officials confirmed the positive result on Friday and urged residents to use caution if they see other animals in the area acting in unusual ways. Rabies is a fatal virus that attacks the central nervous system and is easily transmitted to humans if they encounter a rabid animal. County officials advise pet owners to ensure their pets are current on their rabies vaccinations and to not leave garbage or pet food outside, which can attract wild or stray animals. The North Gwinnett Bulldogs hockey team has won the Division AA state championship for the second year in a row, with a record of 17-3-1 in the 2022-23 season. Coached by Rob Spreadbury, the team defeated the Atlanta Warriors 5-2 in the final at the Ice Forum in Duluth on March 27th. The Bulldogs had to beat the Warriors twice after losing to them in the second round. Three seniors on the team, Camden Schutt, Amanda Spreadbury and Nicholas Pecora, have been with the Bulldogs for five seasons. The team is mostly made up of North Gwinnett students but also includes players from other schools around the county.

A statue of the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr was unveiled at Rodney Cook Sr. Peace Park in Atlanta over the weekend. The ceremony, entitled World Peace Revival, emphasised King's promotion of peace, with speakers calling on people to take up the pursuit of peace, rather than leaving it to government officials. Amongst the sponsors of the statue were Gwinnett philanthropists Clyde and Sandra Strickland. Although religious in tone, the two-hour ceremony featured calls for inclusivity, with Bernice King emphasizing that justice requires inclusionary decision-making. The park will also feature a global peace institute and peace pantheon, alongside the museum in the house where King lived before he was assassinated in 1968.

A statue of Martin Luther King Jr. will be unveiled on Saturday at Rodney Cook Sr. Peace Park in Atlanta's Historic Vine City, as part of a festive day that includes a Peace Walk and awards to local leaders. The statue was designed and sculpted by Georgia artists Kathy Fincher and Stan Mullins and commissioned by several local and national philanthropists, including Clyde Strickland, a Gwinnett philanthropist. The statue shows Dr. King delivering his iconic “I've Been to the Mountaintop” speech. The event will begin at The Home Depot Backyard, with gates opening at 10 a.m., followed by a Peace Walk to Rodney Cook Sr. Peace Park, greetings and speakers, and the statue unveiling at 1 p.m. The Gwinnett Stripers have added new seafood dishes to the menus at CoolRay Field, as well as other menu items, to reflect its fish-themed name and logo. The change was initiated by Coolray Field Chef Jamerius "Chef Jay" Sims, who noticed a lack of seafood items in the stadium's eateries. The three new seafood dishes include catfish baskets, fish tacos, and crab cake sandwiches. Other new items on the menu include Cuban sandwiches, home-brewed sweet tea, buffalo chicken philly, walking taco, blooming onion petals, and more. The Stripers are the first professional baseball team in metro Atlanta to open their season at home this year, as the Atlanta Braves opened their season yesterday on the road in Washington, DC. First pitch for Stripers' Opening Day tonight is 7:05 and the first 2,500 fans will get a free 2023 Schedule magnet cling. Plus, as we talk with Ryan Cox, founder of Gwinnett Chatt Outreach to learn how the organization is helping high schoolers in Gwinnett and how you can support them. Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia plans to add an extra $1,000 to the $2,000 raise that state legislators approved for teachers, resulting in an expected increase of about $3,000 for teachers' salaries. Additionally, GCPS employees not on the district's teacher salary schedule will receive at least a 4% cost-of-living raise. Compensation was the top priority for GCPS employees in a district survey of budget priorities. The proposed FY 2024 budget is $3 billion, with $2.3 billion allocated for the general fund. The district plans to add 317 instructional positions to accommodate an expected increase of 2,064 students. More than 130 students recently attended the Olifer Math Competition held at Georgia Gwinnett College in honor of the late Dr. Andrei Olifer, a mathematics professor who founded and organized the competition. Olifer's daughter, Maria, said her father wanted to inspire an interest in math, education, and learning, and the competition serves as a fun and engaging way to accomplish those goals. The Olifer Competition is open to students from first through 10th grade and continues to grow in popularity. A Lawrenceville man, Jahir Alejandro Conteras Sagahon, has been charged with felony murder, cruelty to children, and aggravated assault for allegedly killing his ex-girlfriend, Rubi Maldonado Nava, and setting her body on fire in Oglethorpe County. Police were initially called to perform a welfare check on Nava but could not find her. Upon questioning, Sagahon admitted to getting into a physical altercation with Nava and choking her until she stopped breathing. He then loaded her body into her car and drove to Oglethorpe County where he set it on fire. Skeletal remains were found in the burned car, and Sagahon was arrested and booked into jail. Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent Calvin Watts will remain in charge of Georgia's largest school system through at least the end of June 2025, the county's school board decided Tuesday night. The school board voted 4-1 to give Watts a two-year extension on his contract, which had previously been set to expire this summer. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson cast the lone vote against extending Watts' contract. After the called meeting, Watts told reporters that he is "ready to continue to stay laser-focused on the academic, the behavioral, and the social well-being of each and every student" in the district. He sent an abridged version of his comments to parents and GCPS employees on Tuesday evening. And we get our Gwinnett Sports Update presented by Tom Wages Funeral Home.

Doraville police officer charged in concealing Norcross teen's death

A Doraville police officer has been arrested in connection with the death of a 16-year-old Norcross teen whose body was found off State Route 316 last week. Gwinnett County police are still investigating how Susana Morales died. She went missing last July while walking home and her body was found near the Gwinnett-Barrow county line on February 6. Gwinnett law enforcement officials have not released details of how Doraville Police Officer Miles Bryant was involved in the Morales case. He has not been charged with killing Morales, but he has been charged with false report of a crime and concealing the death of another. Bryant is a Norcross resident, according to Gwinnett County police. Doraville police said they were notified on Monday afternoon that arrest warrants would be served against Bryant. Doraville officials said Bryant is no longer employed by the city's police department. A new bill would prohibit transgender Georgians under 18 from receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy or surgery. The Bill's main sponsor is Senator Clint Dixon, a Republican from Gwinnett County. The eight-page bill includes a long list of procedures that would be barred, including gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgical procedures. The legislation includes some exceptions, including for people who are “born with a medically verifiable disorder of sex development” and for the treatment of “a physical disorder … injury … or illness that is certified by a physician.” A physician who provides any of the services to a person under 18 would be considered to have committed “unprofessional conduct” and would be subject to discipline by their licensing board. The bill would also require school employees to inform parents if their child is transgender. Medical groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, support gender-affirming care for transgender children when the physician and family deem it appropriate. One unintended consequence of the bill could be the prohibition of circumcision, said state Senator Kim Jackson, a Democrat from Stone Mountain. That's because the bill includes a provision that would prohibit the removal of “any healthy or nondiseased body part or tissue.” Circumcision is a common practice and is a required or strongly encouraged in some religions, including Judaism and Islam. A statue of Martin Luther King Jr. that will be featured at the Rodney Cook Sr. Peace Park will reside in Atlanta, but it has major Gwinnett County connections. Local philanthropists Clyde and Sandra Strickland are helping fund the statue — which will depict Dr. King in a pastor's robe and holding an open Bible — and longtime Gwinnett artist Kathy Fincher is one of the sculptors. Fincher and the Stricklands are lifetime friends, and their collaboration on the MLK statue was born out of a mutual desire to depict the civil rights leader in a way he had not been previously shown. Kathy Fincher wanted to emphasize the role faith played in Dr. King's life. That's why she wanted to show him in a pastor's robe, looking upward while delivering his famous "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, which was also the wish of the National Monument Foundation. The sculpture, which she is working on with Athens artist Stan Mullin, also shows a Bible open to scripture about Moses. The statue will be unveiled on April 1 followed by a World Peace Revival "Peace Walk." Clyde Strickland said the sculpture will not only make its mark on that day, but for decades to come. Legislation introduced into the Georgia House of Representatives Monday marks the latest effort to legalize sports betting in Georgia. House Bill 380, sponsored by state Representative Marcus Wiedower, a Republican from Watkinsville, is being supported by the Metro Atlanta Chamber. Like sports betting legislation floated in past years in the General Assembly, Wiedower's bill calls for sports betting to be overseen by the Georgia Lottery Corp. Unlike previous sports betting bills, the new measure would allow for two types of sports betting licenses. It calls for awarding up to 16 Type 1 licenses to companies that would provide online sports betting services. A second variety of licenses – known as Type 2 – would go to brick-and-mortar businesses in Georgia that would offer in-person sports betting. Sports betting legislation in past years has been limited strictly to online betting. Licensees would pay 15% of their adjusted gross incomes to the state in the form of a “privilege tax” that would be set aside to help fund education in Georgia. The bill sets out penalties for violators and includes provisions requiring companies involved in sports betting to offer programs to help problem gamblers. North Gwinnett Middle School orchestra teacher Sarah Ball has been honored with the 2023 Elizabeth A. H. Green School Educator Award. According to Gwinnett County Public Schools officials, Ball earned the recognition "for her profound impact on string education in her community, state, and beyond." The honor is a national award presented annually by the American String Teachers Association to one school string teacher with a current and distinguished career in a school orchestral setting. From her award nomination letter, her co-teacher Amy Clement stated, “… she is a passionate music educator who enjoys sharing her love of teaching with others. She has recruited countless numbers of students, mentored many student teachers, inspired hundreds of music educators, and of the highest compliment, she has even had several former students become orchestra teachers to follow in her footsteps.” As a creative mind and innovative advocate for string education, Ball has connected, inspired, taught, coached, and developed current and future generations of string students and teachers. According to GCPS officials, Ball has not only been a leader in Gwinnett County schools "but also shared her light beyond her school district with incomparable engagement and motivational strategies in state, local, regional, and national presentations, and guest clinician performances. Her service to the profession is greatly valued and appreciated." The award reviewers also noted these activities as incredibly influential – including serving as GMEA orchestra division chair, as Georgia ASTA president, and as a member-at-large on the national ASTA board. The impact that she has made in guest conducting roles not only influences those students in the ensembles, but also their teachers and families. Ball will receive the award during a presentation at the national conference in Orlando in March. Cherokee Bluff already knew Seckinger wasn't an ordinary first-year boys basketball program after the regular season meeting between the two teams in December. In case the host Bears had forgotten, however, the Jaguars gave them a reminder during their Region 8-AAAA Tournament quarterfinal Monday night at Cherokee Bluff. Seckinger got balanced scoring and held off multiple Cherokee Bluff attempts at a rally to earn the program's first state tournament bid with a 65-54 victory. Carter Watkins led Seckinger with 15 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, but had plenty of help, with three other players in double figures and a fourth nearly joining them. That total team effort not only put the Jaguars in the state tournament, it also moved them into the region semifinals, where they will take on Number 4 state-ranked Madison County on Thursday night.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: Dr. Michi Fu and Dr. Tsuann Kuo are helping 228 Survivors deal with trauma. This year marks 75 years since the 228 Massacre and this week we continue our discussion on the topic. 228 refers to February 28, 1947, which could be argued is a misnomer because tensions leading up to the massacre of tens of thousands of people had been building for quite some time before February 28th, ever since the Chinese Nationalists (the Kuomintang) had fled from China to Taiwan in 1945. Some Taiwanese dissidents have used the term March Massacre instead of 228 since the massacres that happened were mostly in March of 1947. Last week we talked about the lasting impact of 228. Under the subsequent authoritarian rule of the Chiang regime, there was 38 years of martial law and the White Terror era. Anyone could be disappeared, executed or worse for just saying or doing the wrong thing, or for what was seemingly wrong in the eyes of the authorities. The people of Taiwan were horrified and terrified. Generations dared not speak of 228. If you haven't already listened to last week's episode, I encourage you to listen to it first to understand the trauma that 228 has inflicted on generations of Taiwanese. My guests on this week's episode will talk about some of the ways they have helped 228 survivors and their relatives to start to heal their trauma. I am welcoming back Dr. Michi Fu and Dr. Tsuann Kuo to talk about the work they did with the Transitional Justice Commission's “caring projects” that were set up specifically to help 228 survivors and their relatives. Three sites were set up for the “caring projects” and Tsuann and Michi were at the Taichung site at the end of 2020 up until February 28, 2021. Please note that the comments and experiences they share are limited to the work that they did through the “caring project” in Taichung and their personal opinions. They are not representing the Transitional Justice Commission, which as you'll hear in the interview, has a much broader scope with five main objectives. The Transitional Justice Commission was set up in 2018 to investigate the actions taken by the Kuomintang between 15 August 1945 and 6 November 1992 (This includes 228, the martial law era and White Terror era). Special thanks to Michi for her help in assembling all the guests for this episode and the previous one, both dedicated to discussing the topic of 228. This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by the Taiwan Elite Alliance 優社 and the Taiwanese United Fund. The Taiwan Elite Alliance 優社was established in 2000 to promote Taiwanese and Taiwanese American arts and literature, and to protect and enhance the human rights, freedom and democracy of the people in Taiwan. The Taiwanese United Fund is an arts and culture foundation that celebrates the cultural heritages of Taiwanese Americans. Established in 1986, the foundation's mission is to facilitate cultural exchange between the Taiwanese American community and other American cultural communities, hoping to enrich and expand our cultural experiences. To learn more about TUF visit their website http://www.tufusa.org/ About this episode's guests Dr. Michi Fu is a second-generation Taiwanese American and a NATWA II member. She became a Taiwanese citizen after spending a sabbatical year as a mid-life adult. As a Taiwanese returnee, identity politics was an inevitable part of the ethnic identity development process. As such, she has been educating herself on Taiwanese history, including the 228 Massacre, that her family has traditionally remained silent about. Tsuann Kuo, Ph.D. was trained as a gerontologist and has had both clinical and managerial work experiences in the United States before returning to Taiwan. Currently, Dr. Kuo works as an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University in Taichung City, Taiwan. She is actively involved in a number of organizations as the President of Taiwan Association of Family Caregivers, the Executive Director of Taichung Dementia Integrated Care Center and the President of Red Cross in Taichung City. Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: The five objectives of the Transitional Justice Commission How Tsuann and Michi got involved with the Transitional Justice Commission The caring projects that extended help to the survivors of 228 and their descendants at three sites (Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung) Michi's related work with the Museum of Tolerance and survivors of the Armenian genocide The challenges and difficulties in gaining the trust and cooperation of 228 survivors How survivors and their relatives were impacted by 228 How the program's activities helped survivors to reflect on their past and to make sense of it, and to build their social networks How 228 survivors tried to make sense of why their fathers were killed or jailed The workshops that Michi and Tsuann conducted to help 228 survivors deal with their trauma by discussing what PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and post traumatic growth is How they used art as a creative form of expression How difficult it was for the 228 survivors to see something good in their lives that they could appreciate in their lives How they were able to get the 228 survivors to be more expressive The changes they saw in 228 survivors at the end of the program Michi's comparisons between the survivors of 228 and the Armenian genocide What Tsuann and Michi learned from the experience of working with 228 survivors How 228 survivors and their relatives struggled to be accepted in society What types of documents were made public and how they impacted the relatives of 228 survivors or victims If the Transitional Justice Commission has achieved its goals How the work of the Transitional Justice Commission is temporary The proposition by some legislators to continue the work of the Transitional Justice Committee as a Human Rights Committee The debate over the Chiang Kai-shek memorial Green Island, where political prisoners were sent Green Island prison museum The Jing-mei Human Rights Museum in Taipei The 228 Peace Park in Taipei How the work of the Transitional Justice Commission in Taiwan compares to transitional justice work done in South Africa The question of who should be held responsible to apologize for the atrocities that happened as a result and connected to 228 The challenge for people in Taiwan who are not able to face or identify the perpetrators of crimes related to 228 What can we learn from the 228 Massacre How Michi and Tsuann's families have reacted to their work with 228 survivors through the Transitional Justice Commission Tsuann's work with the Chinese veterans that came to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang after World War II Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/helping-228-survivors-deal-with-trauma-dr-muci-fu-and-dr-sueanne-kuo-work-with-the-transitional-justice-commission-ep-172/

3 Couples Talk About Eloping During A Pandemic

Coronavirus canceled and postponed so many weddings plans. According to a 2020 The Knot survey of 527 American couples, 93% of engaged couples are postponing or modifying their original wedding plans during quarantine. But even a pandemic couldn't keep these three couples from the ones they loved. Here's what happens when you choose to elope during the COVID-19 pandemic. As told to Emma McGowan. We live in Nebraska but planned a wedding in Vail, Colorado. We were going to do a 75-person wedding on the top of a mountain, so it wasn't big to begin with. Everyone was going to have to fly or drive in, because none of our people are in Colorado. When COVID hit, I didn't even think it was going to be canceled. My first thought was, “Oh, crap — no one's going to be able to buy their bridesmaid dresses or get their suits fitted.” Then we started to worry about what would happen is someone actually got sick at our wedding. Having that be a part of the day would be horrible. Even the energy of people being worried that they could be sick was not something we wanted on a happy day. And then, things just kept snowballing and getting worse. By May, it was clear that the wedding wasn’t going to happen. Not only was there a travel ban from Argentina, where my husband Ivan is from and where his family would have to fly from, but I got a call from the venue saying that my wedding planner and the salesperson I’d spoken with had both been furloughed. There was no one left for me to even to talk to. I was really sad for about a month, but then in June I came across the option to elope online. I texted Ivan and said I didn't want to wait another year. He suggested we do it on the three-year anniversary of our first date. Originally it was just going to be the two of us, but then my mom was like, “Are you sure you don’t want me to be there? Who’s going to zip up your dress?” And I almost started crying. So everyone got tested for COVID and we had both sets of parents there. We decided to do the elopement at Vail and it was perfect. We made breakfast with our families in the morning, and then my mom got me ready. She was my hairdresser, makeup artist, bridesmaid, maid of honor — everything. We took a gondola up to our spot on the mountaintop. The weather was perfect — 75 degrees and no humidity — and I remember thinking, “Awesome! My hair will actually stay curled.” I wore my wedding dress, which helped me feel better about the cost since I'll wear it again when we have a big party next year. My father walked me down the aisle in a walking boot, because he had a broken ankle. I say “aisle", but it really was a muddy dirt path. I was just able to focus on us and our moment and really soak that up. It still feels surreal. My wife Katrina and I met online in March. We live about two hours away from each other — she’s in British Columbia and I’m in Washington — and made a plan to meet up the first time. Normally that’s not a hard thing to do, but then the borders shut on March 21. We ended up messaging and FaceTiming all day, every day. We even fell asleep together over FaceTime. It progressed into this amazing relationship, for being in different countries. Then we started meeting at Zero Avenue on the border between Washington and Canada, each of us on one side of the border. The U.S. border patrol didn’t care, but Canadian Border Patrol had cameras following our every move and would get upset if anyone of the couples touched over the border. It was the only way we could see each other. It was the wildest thing we’d ever done, meeting at the border of two countries, and there were probably five other couples there doing the same thing. We met there as often as we could because I wasn’t working in the beginning of the pandemic. Then in May, we found a loophole that would let us be together, at least for the time being — while Americans couldn’t fly to Canada, Canadians could fly to the U.S. So Katrina came down and lived with me and my daughter for 44 days. It was this temporary moment of bliss, because it was like we were living together. At the end of the visit, I drove her to the border and she walked over to a ride home waiting for her. After that, we were trying to figure out how we could be together more permanently. We realized that the quickest way would be to get married and start the application process for a spousal visa. At the end of July, we flew to a little island off the coast and eloped with my mom, sister, a photographer, and an officiant. Katrina arrived on Thursday; we married on Saturday; and she went back on Tuesday to return to work. It was equally sad as it was amazing, because can't work in the States until the visa goes through. Since we got married, we’ve been meeting up as often as we can in the Peace Park, which is on the border between Canada and the U.S. Originally all the parks on both sides were closed — including the Peace Park — but a treaty from 1814 made it illegal for either Canada or the United States to keep people from entering the park. So Katrina finds a parking spot, walks a couple steps to a little ditch, and walks over it. We meet up around 1 p.m. with a picnic and stay until the park closes at sunset. Our relationship has so far proven that a virus and shut borders aren’t going to stop us from doing what we want to do. And she is an amazing wife. She’s the sweetest, kindest, so wholesome, and such a refreshing change from what’s going on. She’s giving me hope that things will get better. My wife, Kelsey, originally planned a trip to propose to me on March 22. But when COVID hit, she proposed with a special handmade Clue board, because she knows it’s my favorite board game. We talked about getting married and having a whole ceremony and everything, but decided to elope because we couldn’t be sure about the timeline. We’re going to have a big wedding still, though, once this is all over. My mom got ordained to be our officiant and we also invited my brother and a couple close friends, probably six to eight people. We were already interacting with them, like at work. We did it on a natural land bridge just outside Douglas, Wyoming, because it was beautiful, outdoors, free, and didn’t have a lot of people around. I like to sew and do cosplay, so I made a dress last minute from this gorgeous teal satin and rainbow chiffon. Kelsey wore a rainbow bralette, black jumpsuit, and white shawl. And we both wore matching flats with rainbow text on them. After the ceremony, we took a two-day trip to Denver and did a little mini-honeymoon in a hotel there. I’ve wanted to be married to her forever. We’ve actually been best friends since seventh grade, but didn’t start dating until about two years ago, because her parents don’t approve. But her parents are out of our lives now and I just didn’t want to wait any longer. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.

This week we are back with another exciting episode! In this episode, Shana sat down with Bird form the North Philly Peace Park. Bird is a mental health consultant, urban gardener, herbalist, and chef. She shared her life long love of gardening and cooking, which started at a young age. Bird credits her family, especially, her paternal grandparents, who were sharecroppers from the South for influencing her love in gardening. During their discussion, Shana and Bird talked about the story behind the North Philly Peace Park. The North Philly Peace Park is situated in the small north-central neighborhood of Sharswood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The park, which occupies half a city block services a largely black community. Bird talks with Shana how the park not only offers the community access to fresh produce and space to plant their own herbs and vegetables but other activities and services like yoga and psychotherapy. Bird also talks about how the park has become a safe place for the community to gather and resolve conflicts. Conflicts that would have otherwise resulted in different and more problematic circumstances without the existence of the Peace Park. She shared with Shana how the community has benefited from the park and continues to give back to it. Volunteers who help to weed, harvest, and plant the park's herbs and vegetables are also recipients of services like their Free Produce Days. Later in the conversation, Bird and Shana also talked about what defunding the police could mean for their community. Funds that could go to social services and other programs that would help elevate food insecurities. They also talked about their up and coming Peace Pavilion that is in the process of being built and will be a space for education programs other activities. She shared with Shana how some of the youngest members of the park are a major influence behind the pavilion's design and function.

Our guest on the Sligo Life Podcast used to be a criminal defence attorney in Australia (acting in high profile murder cases etc). Then she went into the public service in Australia (attorney generals department) for another ten years, where she worked on some very interesting Task forces and a Royal Commission.I first met Fiona through Sligo Women in BusinessOn the show we talked about when Fiona moved to Sligo in 2014 for a complete change of pace, and opened up her own business on O'Connell Street, making chocolate bouquets (as you do!).After four years of hard grind she left to do freelance work, first for The Model (as their Operations Coordinator) and more recently for SWIBN as a co-facilitator of their monthly meetingsRecently Fiona has started working for The Sligo Folk Park as their manager.It was so lovely to catch up with Fiona and I do hope you enjoy our chat too. Here are some notes from our interview . . . . Are you a Sligo Native? If no what is the story of how you moved here?: Where do I begin! I'm Australian! My husband is from Belcoo, Co Fermanagh and on our trips home to visit his family, (commencing 2001) we would go for day trips and fell in love with Sligo (I even bought a dress in one of the shops that I christened Sligo - I still wear it!!).In 2013 we bought an apartment here that we intended just to use when we came for our yearly visits. We had a month here in summer that year, and it was glorious. One morning we were asleep in the Peace Park near the Cathedral (sleeping off a hangover from the night before) and we woke up to Jugglers, Tightrope Walkers and a Punch and Judy Show. The Cairde Arts Festival had set up around us while we slept and it was truly magical. I remember saying to Brendan that I had never felt that happy anywhere in my life. We returned to Australia but nothing was the same. One night, a documentary about Benbulben appeared on the TV. I am not religious, but that is the closest I have ever had to a spiritual awakening. I burst into tears, and we started that night to look for a house with a view under the mountain. We ended up buying our house in Rathcormac sight unseen, over the internet, because it had such magnificent views of Benbulben (again, as you do!!)When we turned up with the removalist truck, we had to race ahead to see the floor plan so we could tell the removalists where to put things like beds and couches. It was madness, but it was strangely liberating.I said to my best friend in Australia when we made the decision to move: If you are fortunate enough to have been born in a country where you have both the money and wherewithall to try something new with your life, so that you may be even one fraction happier, don't you owe it to yourself to try.What do you love about living in Sligo?: It's easier to say what I don't love. The weather.I love absolutely everything else. The scenery. The people, The community spirit. The neighbourhood camaraderie. I love that the town is big enough to provide everything you need, but small enough that you can't walk down the street without someone knowing your name. It's the perfect size for an extrovert who also likes her own downtime - you can hide if you need to, but be as sociable as you like the rest of the time.If you could wave a magic wand what would you fix or bring to Sligo ie. facilities, shops, restaurants, culture/arts?: A change in the way the town is reported to outsiders. (the rest then follows).I come from a city (Canberra) where the outside world mocks the place, but the locals are passionately defensive of it, and will support it to the ends of the earth as a great place to work, live and raise a family. In Sligo that position is almost reversed. Tourists and outsiders can't believe how beautiful Sligo is and how they have never heard abou

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: Stefanie Davis and Patrick Springer are the founders of the Black Lives Solidarity Global Initiative, which organized a rally in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement on June 13th in Taipei’s 228 Peace Park. I spoke to Stefanie and Patrick about their experiences living as people of color in Taiwan and the U.S., the activities planned for the rally and their personal views of Black Lives Matter. Here’s a description of the Black Lives Solidarity Global Initiative rally from their Facebook event page: We cannot sit around as the stories of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Iyanna Dior, Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown Jr., Pamela Turner, Atatiana Jefferson, and countless others become common occurrences- background noise to the daily news, their lives summarized as sound bites between the weather and sports updates. We cannot sit idly by and watch as police brutality against innocent black and brown bodies continues to go unchecked around the world. It is time for us to take a stand and make our voices known that we demand action against racism both abroad and at home. That injustice against one of us, is an injustice to all. Join us in a legal and peaceful rally Saturday, June 13th, at 228 Peace Memorial Park in Taipei as we come together to lend our support and our voices to those around the world fighting for equality and for others right to simply breathe. Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: What brought Stefanie and Patrick to Taiwan and how long they have been here The racism that they have experienced in Taiwan and how it compares to what they’ve experienced in the U.S. How they talk to their students about race and nationality Patrick’s bar Arts & Crafts (in Taichung) How the Black Lives Solidarity Global Initiative (BLSGI) came about The events and activities planned at the June 13 BLSGI rally The Taipei Is Listening Forum How the BLSGI rally has put Taiwan on the map as one of the countries that has had a rally about the injustices happening to Black people in the U.S. The feedback they’ve received about the rally What Stefanie and Patrick hope that people take away from the experience of being at the rally or what they learned at the rally Common stereotypes that people have about Black people Facts and statistics that demonstrate some of the discrimination that Blacks in the U.S. experience The shooting of Atatiana Jefferson and arrest of Sandra Bland Where the funds raised at the rally went Patrick and Stefanie’s personal experiences with Black Lives Matter What advice Stefanie or Patrick have for non-Black people who want to understand the Black experience or who want to be allies What Black Lives Matter means to Stefanie and Patrick Facts and statistics based on US data and research that were shared at the BLSGI rally: More than 1/2 of young Black Americans know someone, including themselves, who has been harassed by the police. Black students are 3 times more likely to be suspended than white students for similar infractions. Black drivers are 30% more likely than white drivers to be pulled over by the police. For every $100 earned by white families -> Black families earn $57.30. Blacks Americans make up 13% of the nation's population. Blacks Americans make 40% of prison populations.

But then I started talking to Bjorn Linus. He's like, Man, the goat is the best board that I have ever ridden. [00:01:31] That's right. The Cardiff go and I'm psyched. Why? Why is this board so good? Well, here's why. So this board went through 10 different iterations, 10 different prototypes over a five year period. This thing has been tested in every different kind of condition. And no wonder it has the reputation of being one of the best boards on the mountain. So go to Cardiff snow dot com. Check out the goat. It's an amazing looking board, but really what will amaze you is the way it rides. [00:02:02] So go to Cardiff snow dot com to learn more. [00:02:08] Welcome back to the Snowboard Project. I'm Mark Sullivan. And so we're going to start out the show today a little bit. Definitely going to start out with a moment of silence for Jake Burton Carpenter. And I know that well, anyone is listening to this is probably a snowboarder. And so they have been affected directly by Jake Burton Carpenter's influence in the sport. Mark Sullivan: [00:02:42] Ok, so on today's show, we have an Olympic gold medalist, a guy who is still a teenager, getting into the back country making snowboarding movies. You know, the world is his oyster as far as snowboarding is concerned. I'm talking about Red Jerod and Red Jerod. We get pretty deep in this interview. We talk about making joy. We talk about kind of the the interview crush post-Olympics. We talk about his family and about riding and about all sorts of things. So this is a pretty in-depth interview with Fred Gerada. Hope you guys enjoy it. Thank you. [00:03:41] Today's episode is brought to you by. Yes, Snowboards. [00:03:47] Introducing the all new 20-20. Truth be told, we've been itching to redesign the 2020. Soon after the dust settled from its release three years ago and this newest generation checks off an impressive list of high performance boxes, updates to the bottom contours that maintain the magical float that set this board apart from everything else in the snow while improving the pop and landings of natural and man made features. The eye catching Corless tech has made these more complex shapes possible by removing critical swing weight from the board. And finally, MIT has found its most effective home on twins. So applying an aggressive version of this has brought out the kind of park and resort performance we always knew the 20/20 was capable of. [00:04:27] So go to yes now boarding dot com to find the perfect yes snowboard for you. Mark Sullivan: [00:04:36] Ok. So you just had your your movie premiere, Red. Joy, tell me a little bit about the premiere. How did you decide on Hollywood versus like doing it in Tahoe or Salt Lake or in a ski town, let's say? Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:04:50] I don't really know. I think so. Red Gerard: [00:04:53] Aaron Black and Ryan Honkey are the producers of Joy. And I think we we just kind of left it up to them and they wanted to do it in like a pretty main city. Red Gerard: [00:05:02] Yeah. For like the first one. But on November 2nd, it's going to be in Salt Lake. And actually I think I'd like the thirty first of this month. It's in Bend, Oregon. And then I'm going to do one in Cleveland, Ohio on November 16th or the 18th or something. Right. So our idea was just to do the opening one in in a bigger city. Mark Sullivan: [00:05:28] Were there like a lot of snowboarders who showed up, who flew in for it or traveled specifically to Hollywood for the premiere? Red Gerard: [00:05:35] I don't know. I didn't. I mean, there's definitely some people there. Apparently, they sold out on tickets. I've heard it. But a. I think a lot of it was just people that lived in L.A. like Ex-wrestler Zion, Ray and Alex Smith. Red Gerard: [00:05:47] They're like pro skaters. That area, which we're pretty is pretty sick to see us. Mark Sullivan: [00:05:52] Yeah. Now, this is like your your first movie that you were like more involved than just like being an athlete filming in the movie. re-look more involved with that. Were you pretty much still a guy who was just going out and filming to try to get a good part? Red Gerard: [00:06:07] Not I think I definitely, like all three of us, felt pretty way more involved, you know, I did the two transferal movies, but that had like eight to 10 writers and actors or something. Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:06:20] But yeah, no, I think we I was is pretty cool because I was filming with my brother like all season, which was really nice. So I got to see little leaks of the movie and all that where it was a trans world. And with trans well, you know, I just saw my part and then saw the movie when it premiered. Mark Sullivan: [00:06:39] Yeah. So what was like the concept behind Joy? Like what was like the idea that you guys kind of sat down and put together that would make this different than just like a trick part movie? Red Gerard: [00:06:51] I know I would say, oh, like when we originally sat down, we our idea was to not just like look at just storms and where where all the storms are heading, but let's spend, you know, a month at a time in one location, like when we go to Jackson Hole and say, just go in there for a week. Let's go through let's go there for a month and sit out through the bad weather days. Red Gerard: [00:07:15] And, you know, when it heats up, because eventually I feel like every location at times can get good and sucks. When you go to go somewhere, you're like, oh, man, shitty. He's like, let's go somewhere else. Then you go somewhere else. And all the sudden Jackson Hole is firing again. Red Gerard: [00:07:31] You missed out on that. So I think that was our original idea. And other than that, I mean, just having it based on like the main three like me, Ben and Sage, and then having some other people come along and bring in different people on each trip was kind of our idea. Mark Sullivan: [00:07:50] Would you and Sage wear your gold medals everywhere you went with Ben just to kind of rub salt in the wound? Red Gerard: [00:07:56] Yeah, for sure. Yeah, that was that was definitely a nice piece of jewelry. Yeah. That's the only accessory that he couldn't get. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. No but he he had the Olympic ring too. Red Gerard: [00:08:09] So we were just throwing around a little picked out. Mark Sullivan: [00:08:19] It seems like a pretty cool crew and you guys are like known for competition, right, for a stage and you both at the Olympics were Ben the Olympics and other events. Mark Sullivan: [00:08:28] But they're really from my understanding, anyway, I haven't seen the movie yet, but there isn't really a focus on competition in there. In fact, it's mostly powder. Red Gerard: [00:08:37] Yeah, definitely. That was the main focus for they would definitely go. Mark Sullivan: [00:08:41] Is that related to the named Joy? Like you find Joy outside a competition? Red Gerard: [00:08:46] I don't know. I don't even know. I think Ben's age came up with the name Tyler Orton and there in summer movie. I don't know where they came up with joy, but I was in for it. Mark Sullivan: [00:08:58] And where did you guys film like it was? Where were the trips that you guys went on together? Red Gerard: [00:09:04] Yeah. So we start off the year in Jackson Hole and that was me then, Sage. Red Gerard: [00:09:13] Nick Payton was there for a little bit. And then Brock Crouch as well. Mm hmm. And we were there for a while. And then from there we went to X Games and we did a little piece on that. Red Gerard: [00:09:25] But then from there, me and Brock went to Japan and then we went back to the U.S. Open and then to Tahoe for a while and to Canada to hand it off. Red Gerard: [00:09:40] But Ben and Sage kind of we we split up after X Games and Ben and Sage went back to Jackson Hole for a sec. Red Gerard: [00:09:47] And then I think they went on up into Canada and then to Montana for a sec and then Madison Tallyho. And then they went back to Canada with us. Mark Sullivan: [00:09:58] Ok. It sounds like you did a variety of different trips, went to a variety of different locations. What was your favorite trip? Red Gerard: [00:10:06] My favorite trip was going to. I never I mean, I've always I kind of grew up there a tiny bit just because my brother Brendan always lived there and I always went out there, visit him, but go on there to film. Red Gerard: [00:10:19] I never knew, like, how much a place actually had to offer when it came to backcountry snowboarding. It was just like pretty eye-opening to me, amany like how many good days we had there and the different varieties snowboarding. You know, you could read lines or you could build a jump or, you know, there's just some good like actually some little pillow lines and stuff. And I never thought Tato would have that. Red Gerard: [00:10:43] And me and Brock almost spent like a month there, just really pretty hyped on the whole situation. Red Gerard: [00:10:49] Yeah, that was a pretty crazy season as far as snowfall went last year. And Tom. Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:10:54] Yeah, it was nuts. And you know, you always hear people saying about how they get that cycle where it's like snows for four days, they get sunny for three days and snows birds for days. And like I never knew that was actually a real thing in this year that it definitely and we definitely get to experience it. Mark Sullivan: [00:11:12] Right. Mark Sullivan: [00:11:13] Right. So was there like like one shot in particular, one jump that you built or one line that you did something they like sticks out the that made it into the movie that people can like look at and be like that was the the most fun thing that you did last year. Mark Sullivan: [00:11:28] The the thing that you really kind of hang your hat on as far as like that was like my best run or trick or whatever of the season. Red Gerard: [00:11:36] Yeah. Hundred percent the one this one jump that we hit in tow. Here's me and Brock and we both like it was like kind of like our first show that we built without Ben's age there. And it was me, Brad Crouch, my brother Malachi, that built it, just us three. And I don't know, I I've always had a hard time building, just like seeing the exact picture of how I wanted to turn out. And I always end up building them just with a ton of lip by that. But we built this shop and we kind of did build it with a ton of live, but ended up working out really good. And both me and Brock like landed. I think I had three tricks on it in the movie and Brock, too, in the movie. In that jump, really, it's like the best day of our year. I think it was just such a fun session and it was Amy 'tween that cycle where it snowed for days and it was like sunny for three. So it was like third day. I was actually really warm outdoors, like snow is heating up, but it was really, really sick. It was like fun. There's a lot of people there like watching the session and says is kind of cool. Right on, right on. Mark Sullivan: [00:12:45] So when do you go out and you break off from Sage and Ben? Guys, we're a little bit older than you, maybe a little bit more experienced in the back country. Who's like the stand and trail boss, the guy who's like kind of leading the charge and like deciding like this is the jump spot. Mark Sullivan: [00:12:59] This is where we're going to stop and we're going to start yelling, who does? Red Gerard: [00:13:03] Yeah, I don't know. So is it between me and Brock for Sheriff Brooks sometimes as a little bit a different idea than I have? Ηe likes you tend to like the lines, I think. I think he's like a he's an AK guy. Red Gerard: [00:13:17] I actually closet AK a guy. A closet. A exactly closet. AK guy. Red Gerard: [00:13:22] But I don't know. I think we try to come together as both, but we also had some other people looking over us. Aaron Black, which has done a lot of all that, definitely helped us out a little bit there. And he was with us every day, so. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:13:39] Ok. Now, do you already have like. You obviously have a schedule for a tour to do all these premieres around the country, including back in Ohio. Do you have you already made plans for this season or are you going to film this season? Like, do you have a project already lined out? Red Gerard: [00:13:54] Yeah, actually, I do. I don't really. I actually don't really know if I can totally say yet. But yeah, I do. Mark Sullivan: [00:14:02] Martin OK. So I wish I knew more. Red Gerard: [00:14:04] I wish I knew because I think I can, but not where are you going to be working with, like a similar crew of writers or a different a new crew of writers? I mean, can we can we dig a little bit here? Red Gerard: [00:14:14] Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Kind of similar crew a definitely a few more. I think this movie will have more of like the movie base where all these section writers and not so much more like Joy was location based. Red Gerard: [00:14:29] Like it started off the movie and Jackson then moved on to Todd and all that. Right. So that's how Joy was. I think this one will be more rider influence just part by far. By far. Okay. And they'll have some pretty heavy hitter writers. Red Gerard: [00:14:45] So there are. Are there any goals that you have as far as like filming for this new upcoming project that that like things that you kind of had on your list to accomplish for last season? And now you're like, OK, I didn't get that done last year. I need to do it this year. Red Gerard: [00:14:59] Yeah, I mean, I think so. I think maybe just trying to spend some more time on the snowboard. Red Gerard: [00:15:06] I get so distracted with all the toys in the back country like snowmobiling and all that, that I'll get all this me and I really want to fill that job for you. A sled around. So I think my my goal for next year with all of that is to make sure to snowboard as much as I can. Mark Sullivan: [00:15:23] Yeah. Because you end up just riding powder on the sled. Red Gerard: [00:15:27] Yeah, exactly. It's like so easy to look at as Bob and be like occupy you like find one thing wrong with your head and just like sticks in your head. So yeah, it's easy to get distracted and just keep snowmobiling around looking for spots all the time. Mark Sullivan: [00:15:44] Right. So are you becoming like a sled neck? Red Gerard: [00:15:48] I don't know. That's that's maybe more of a question for Sage. And then they can they can decide you better coming on. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:15:56] Yeah, OK. Whereas sitting learned like, how competent are you? Are you on a sled? Like, could you do like one of these like downhill to uphill turns where you're headed downhill and then you drop a foot to a foot plant and come back around and go back uphill? Red Gerard: [00:16:10] I don't know. That's. I'd love to try, but I feel pretty confident on one for sure. I kind of grew up back in Ohio, not really riding dirt bikes, but always around motorbikes and like knowing how to work a machine like that wasn't too hard for me to learn. Red Gerard: [00:16:31] And once I figured out the counter steering, I was like, kind of in love with it just felt really sick to do it turns and stuff and lakebeds. Red Gerard: [00:16:39] And I mean, obviously the worst parts get stuck. But yeah, I'm an expert at that. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's the that's the easy part. Mark Sullivan: [00:16:51] Yeah I know. Right. It's crazy because it's like it's serious. You really get the hang of riding a sled. It's like you're riding powder now downhill and uphill. Red Gerard: [00:17:00] Yeah, exactly. It's like you almost get the same feeling on your snowmobile as you can snowboard at times. It's deep enough and whatnot. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:17:09] Yeah, totally. Okay. So are you gonna be doing a lot more sled missions this year? Zach, kind of like you're focused like going to contests and then sledding in the back country. You kind of mix it up among everything or. Or like, what's your focus for the season? Red Gerard: [00:17:23] Like when you say sledding, do you mean like snowboarding with it? Obviously do. Mark Sullivan: [00:17:27] Well, at least having the snowboard with you. I mean, some of us have harder times and other people like stopping and holding jumps and actually us snowboarding off the sled. But. Yeah, yeah. Red Gerard: [00:17:37] No, definitely. So yeah, my goal is definitely to snowboard a lot more with that. But I'd say I'm definitely doing a few contests this year. I I actually really enjoy doing the contests. I I don't mind them at all. So I don't want to lose sight of those. But I'm doing a lot more a lot more film chips that are a lot more filming, I would say. And yeah, hopefully build and build some more jumps and stuff. A lot more. Right on. Mark Sullivan: [00:18:06] Have you ever done like a film shoot, like a straight street, like gone to Quebec and like filmed in the streets of Montreal or Quebec City? Red Gerard: [00:18:15] That's actually yeah. It's pretty funny. I have. We were watching Jordan Smalls part yesterday that just came out and I was telling my friends as I went on a street trip with that guy, actually. But I only when I say Chip, but Jordan Smalls, Theodore muz and Jesse Paul and I went like one day and I kind of hit my head like midway through. And I was like, all right, I'm actually Blackhomb is like right before the U.S. Open. So I shan't heal up and make sure as I'll get there. So I went on a small one. I haven't done too many. No. Mark Sullivan: [00:18:49] Is that something that you want to do more of in the future, or is it something where you're like, man, I can't afford to hit my head and get taken out for the X Games? No, for sure. Red Gerard: [00:18:59] I think so. Like, I don't I enjoy hitting the rails and stuff, too. And I think next year, that's also some dimension. I think I might try to do like one or two street trips because I do enjoy that. And I think there's like they know unless you guys have a lot of creativity that I think is really cool. So totally at least try to do one ship and see, you know, if I can come up with something cool or if it's something I like. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:19:25] And try to do one right on it. So how do you like Sage? Like I mean you you're obviously exposed to every aspect of snowboarding. Mark Sullivan: [00:19:35] Like how do you like kind of rank in terms of how gnarly it is like or like how sick or whatever, how how bad acid is like the the street versus the the backcountry all riding versus the line type riding like the AK right versus like the park riding and resort riding. Red Gerard: [00:19:54] Yeah. I don't know. It is hard because if each one has its own you know, its own like scary parts did not like street guys slam you know like all the time that they have that the risk of getting hurt. I feel like a lot you know, each railhead is like I feel like they can get hurt pretty easily, which is crazy. But then that country writing like maybe I mean, you stole the chance to get hurt, obviously. But the good news, you if like fluffy snow below you. But then, yeah, I deal with the chance of like being in an avalanche and all that, which is life or death. Yeah. So that can get really scary and then park riding. The good news is, I mean I don't know Cartright. I mean you can get smoked doing but I say don't know where I am, where my stand is there with like all three. Red Gerard: [00:20:45] Which ones natoli. As I said, they're both pretty pretty gnarly and kind of scary to do. But I don't know. Mark Sullivan: [00:20:52] Have you ever caught like a serious injury, like one that took you out for like off or more? Red Gerard: [00:20:58] I've been really lucky. Actually, I have. I've never broken a bone, which is so awesome. Knock on wood you have, right? Red Gerard: [00:21:05] Yeah. No, I had asthma. I'm pretty psyched on that. Mark Sullivan: [00:21:08] Do you think that's like part of your success is like the fact that you have. Red Gerard: [00:21:12] Been like kind of laid up on a couch for a month every season up to this point in your career. You know, because I think a lot of people like it. Like small injuries or medium sized injuries, and they kind of lose part of their season. Right. And if you haven't had any serious injuries, it seems like you've probably been able to ride almost year round now for a while. Red Gerard: [00:21:33] Yeah, for sure. I've been so lucky with all that. Red Gerard: [00:21:35] Now I think back. I think it's awesome. But maybe a little bit. Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:21:41] I don't know how. I mean, definitely I'm almost nowhere near, you know, counting injuries during the season. I've been lucky enough where I haven't had many. So I mean, maybe that's part of my leg. Minor success. Mark Sullivan: [00:21:54] Okay. So like, how do you like prevent yourself from getting injuries? Are you doing stretching? Do you have like a strict diet? Do you, you know, surf every day in the summertime to be in good shape? Mark Sullivan: [00:22:05] I mean, what are you doing to like prevent injury, like ahead of time? Red Gerard: [00:22:09] I mean, to be honest, I really don't do much. I've been shine in the last two years. I've been definitely trying to work out quite a bit during the summer and just stay really active is my thing. And not like sitting around all day like I when I'm here in So Cal right now, like the days this I like I actually like it Donner so much. You never find yourself or like, you know, I was on a really cool program this summer especially I wake up in the morning to workout with Chaske all the bond at like 6:30 in the morning and after the agard shaped like a surf sesh and then go skate for a little and then end it at nighttime with like a succession too. And I think it's really cool here, like how active you can be. Red Gerard: [00:22:53] So I don't know if that plays into it all, but I just try to stay super active. Sure. Mark Sullivan: [00:22:58] Right. Is it enough just to skate and surf or do you also have to do I mean, I see all these clips like Scotty James doing all these crazy like, you know, like the rope on the ground and jumping through all the steps of it and then, you know, jumping over things and balance exercise and stuff like, yeah, that stuff, too. Or you pretty much just like skating, surfing, what whatever. Fun things that'll keep you busy. Red Gerard: [00:23:22] Yeah. I feel like I mean, I don't know how much Scotty. I know he serves actually. I think he's pretty good surfing. I don't know how much he does it, though, but I feel like, you know, Scotty does all those like workouts where the crazy balance ones know where like if you just skateboard and surf, maybe you don't have to do those crazy exercises. At least that's that's what what's going on in my head. I'm like, maybe I don't have to do all that. I can just go skate, surf and have fun. But I definitely I try to do a lot of like when I go to the gym, just a lot of, you know, body weight stuff and try to do some stretching and just shut it like namely tight like it the surround the muscles around your joints and all that and get a nice and, you know, ready for the season. Right. Mark Sullivan: [00:24:11] Right. Now, how long have you been surfing? Because I know you're living pretty close to the beach right now, but I know you're not from the beach. Mark Sullivan: [00:24:18] You're from Ohio via call California via Colorado. But like, how long have you been surfing? Red Gerard: [00:24:24] I've been surfing place. That is like. I don't know. I mean, I definitely just started doing it in the last two or three years. Like every day. When I have off time. But I mean, I started like first time I went maybe five years or something. And I am still so shitty on this airport. Like even like yesterday when I was paddling out, you look around, there's like people ripping all around here, like, how do I even get to that level? I don't know how to do it. Red Gerard: [00:24:50] So are you longboarding or short boarding? Red Gerard: [00:24:54] I like the shortboard for sure. Have you ever been barreled? No, not really. Actually, once. I will say on a wave store one time I like I felt foam go over my heads. I'm counting out. Yeah, that's me. That's my Batchelor at their peak. Mark Sullivan: [00:25:10] Ok. OK. So. So have you ever been on like a surf trip, like out to the mental wise or to Indonesia or someplace like that? Have you ever done those trips? Red Gerard: [00:25:20] I want to do one really bad. I when I was younger, when I wasn't really surfing, I went on to surf trip for more, just like a vacation with Brock Crouch to Nicaragua. OK. And that was fun. It was like a couple of our friends. And then me and Gabe Ferguson were on it, too. And we really surf. Red Gerard: [00:25:38] So we just like rented these dirt bikes and rode around the whole time while those guys were like literally getting their old and stuff. Red Gerard: [00:25:44] Really? But then, yeah, last summer this summer, my family did a family vacation in Costa Rica. And like me, my brother brought our surfboards and definitely surf quite a bit. So that was pretty fun, but not like a Stowe. Mark Sullivan: [00:25:57] Where would you go? Like, what's your dream destination for surfing? Is it like Mexico? Is it like Southeast Asia? Where would you go? Red Gerard: [00:26:05] I don't know. Somewhere where I don't know enough about it. Red Gerard: [00:26:08] I'd have to ask Brock or someone, somewhere where it is like three to like five feet or something, which is like a mellow wave recognition, sir. Mark Sullivan: [00:26:18] Right. It's more about actually catching the waves than like just getting shanked or something. Red Gerard: [00:26:24] It's totally about like how long my ride can be, not just like if I can get there or they're not. I just want to, like, ride the wave, I guess, you know, until the end and show you some cool cars or something. Mark Sullivan: [00:26:36] Ok. So how do you compare like, you know, like the difficulty of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding? Because obviously you've won a gold medal in snowboarding. So maybe that's easier to you just based on your experience. But how do you compare all three of those? Red Gerard: [00:26:52] I don't know. I mean, I think each. Like I look at what scape are doing now and like it's like saying like, I can never pinch myself to the stuff that they're doing. And I look at that was surfing, too, like I compare. I looked at we went some big wave surfing videos the other day and the like. I compare the big wave surfing to like snowboarding AK like, you know, if there was going to be a comparison, I think that that would be nice. Red Gerard: [00:27:18] But I don't know. Red Gerard: [00:27:19] I have no clue like necessarily why. I guess I've just been snowboarding for so long and that's been the one that I've been doing for ages. And since I was young, I would say. Red Gerard: [00:27:32] That that's the easiest, I guess. Mark Sullivan: [00:27:35] Right. So do you have ambition to become a big wave surfer or an AK snowboarder? Red Gerard: [00:27:41] Probably more of a case snowboarder because I just can't see myself on a big wave surfing, honestly. Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:27:51] So when do you think that you would be ready for that, do you think you need a few more years of doing backcountry boosters? You think you're ready right now? I mean, you've probably written a ton of power ready for sure. Red Gerard: [00:28:02] Like last year, we we did had one day in Canada, which was a pretty good little warm up. Not as big as Alaska and all that. But I don't know if I'm necessarily completely ready for that. Red Gerard: [00:28:16] I had a lot of fun stuff that in Canada, but I honestly I really like to go out and build jumps in, like look for little poppers and pillows and stuff. That's like I feel like it's my type of snowboarding a lot. Yeah, I really like to like I mean it was really fun doing all the healthy stuff and is cool being in a healthy. Mark Sullivan: [00:28:37] Was that your first time in a heli? Red Gerard: [00:28:39] It was my second time. I did like one just free lap heli haliday in New Zealand. It's really sick. Mark Sullivan: [00:28:46] Ok, so how would you describe like heli boarding to people who have never done it before? Red Gerard: [00:28:51] It's I mean, it's pretty sexy, just like you're in a helicopter, which is insane. I like love that. Red Gerard: [00:28:57] But basically they just like for us, we were hellion around in our L.A. pilot had like a couple ideas of where we wanted to go. So he would take us to that range and we'd just like a couple spots. Red Gerard: [00:29:10] We landed at the bottom, looked around. Everyone pointed out their lines. And then we would take the heli up and go over the lines, which is really cool. You get to see it like almost like in a riding perspective in the helicopter when they go over it, because that's like something crazy. Red Gerard: [00:29:24] And back in chains, like everything's so different when you're actually riding it. Mark Sullivan: [00:29:28] Right. You can look up at it and it's like it looks one way looking up at it and it looks nothing like it. Looking down from the top. Red Gerard: [00:29:35] Yeah. One hundred percent. Exactly. So you kind of got that was like a big plus. You got to like look at it as you like if you were writing, you know. Red Gerard: [00:29:45] By. Red Gerard: [00:29:48] I mean, that's kind of it. You just like buzz around an AK or whatever looks fun you whenever you think it shoots edge. That's what you're you're right. Red Gerard: [00:29:57] You know, like, I guess I like to plan out some escape crowds. If an avalanche were to happen, which is really scary to think about. Red Gerard: [00:30:05] I'm terrified of avalanches, but the right car with the right ways to go about it. I think they be safe. Mark Sullivan: [00:30:13] So are you looking forward to doing more heliing this season? Are you? Is that something that you're like, OK? I want to keep doing this and learn more about this side? Or you kind of like that comes my way. I'll do it. Or is it something we're like my thing. I want to get healthy again. Red Gerard: [00:30:27] I think I'm right in between there because I'm like, I'm down to go do it again. But it's not one of my priorities. OK. Mark Sullivan: [00:30:34] What are your priorities in snowboarding? Are you more interested in, like filming, like just the sickest video part or like winning another X Games medal or like going to the next Olympics and defending your Gold Medal? Like what? What do you like seeing as like your goals inside of the sport? Red Gerard: [00:30:50] Right now, I would say kind of both of them, honestly. I'm going to try to split my time pretty evenly and hopefully I can do it, manage it pretty good now. But I'd say they're both pretty equal. I mean, I would love to win an X Games medal. Red Gerard: [00:31:06] I haven't done that yet and I would honestly love to go to the next Olympics, too. That was a really cool experience. I'd love to do it again, but I definitely want to sell my shit too because I have a lot of fun doing that and I really like the idea of how you can make your party your own. A lot of times in contests that's like the bomber. You can't make your contest. You're on your own because you know, the the course only gives you so much. And with that country you have a whole whole mountain ranges of your own creativity to go to do and your how to meet how you want you look. Mark Sullivan: [00:31:41] Right. So so where do you get like this creativity from? Like, what are you looking at to like? Are you watching skate videos and being ICOM? Maybe I can take a little piece of that trick or I mean, what were you kind of getting influence from? Because you're already at like this cutting edge of the sport where basically it's like there's no one who's already done the tricks in front of you. Now used to be five years ago, you could watch video and be like, I want to go learn that trick. And now you're like, you don't know all their tricks. And so now you have to create new ones. So where do you get that inspiration from to create new tricks? Red Gerard: [00:32:13] I mean, let's see for a contest run. My idea is just it's like it's a hit, such a high peak. I'm not really at the point where, like, I don't really want to, like, invent new tricks or anything. Like, I don't really want to do that. I'm more to the point where, like, I want to start having the part features built differently and get the average three jumps out of the contest scene and just to try to take different lines throughout the course of it that way. But with. With that, can you found that I'm just kind certainly get into it. I don't really know. I'm just trying to fill a really good part. Owners then. I don't really know where my creativity is at there. Mark Sullivan: [00:32:55] Ok. So like, let's say that you had your own contest and you could design your own slopestyle course. What would read Jarod's slopestyle course look like in comparison to like what you would see in current slopestyle courses? Red Gerard: [00:33:13] I think my slips, of course, would be something that both typewriters and slopes our writers would write in, and it would kind of be what do Toure is doing right now, let them modify the super pipe. But I think maybe have it a little bit more slips out like, you know, in that way. But no, I think it would have a couple of half its and then a couple of slopestyle features and maybe it ended off with like one big quarter pipe or one big wall read. Red Gerard: [00:33:42] I've written down like a few ideas more in depth of that. But I think you know, and the gist of it all, a contest where it hits Bode half-white and slopes down and rails as well. Mark Sullivan: [00:33:54] Now with the rails, do you see the current rails as kind of like skate style rails or as wakeboard style rails like on the classics? Red Gerard: [00:34:04] Yeah, I never really thought of as wakeboarding, said Stowe rescues like waypoints. It rails are massive, right. They're really kind of big. Yeah. In stuff, but I kind of signed on type of rails. Mark Sullivan: [00:34:14] Right. It's like you're kind of dislike you. Yeah. Right on it. Right there isn't like a lot of. Yes. Is not to make it on. Red Gerard: [00:34:20] Yeah. I kind of see it as that honestly. Like when you go to axioms and shit like those rails are massive, they're like huge and. Right. Definitely not. Escape was dile I would say. But like sometimes they can be created. Mark Sullivan: [00:34:35] Would you change the real setups in these slopestyle courses to be more skate style than just like just these massive kind of spectacle style things that look good on TV? Red Gerard: [00:34:45] Yeah, I think so. Red Gerard: [00:34:45] I think I would include a lot more training with the rails, you know, maybe having one on like a half pipe wall or something like that. Not just yet. You know, the average down bar, I think would maybe be a thing or something. Mark Sullivan: [00:35:01] So maybe a little more technical as far as like how you get on the rail and how you get off the rail. Red Gerard: [00:35:06] Totally. Yeah. I don't think I'd be anything massive not wait for rail or anything. I think it would just be, you know, a more creative approach or something more creative. Wherever creativity and where the rail is placed. Right. Mark Sullivan: [00:35:22] Ok, that makes sense. But I'm not sure. Red Gerard: [00:35:24] I'm totally just free with that. No clue. These are only thoughts that I had. Mark Sullivan: [00:35:29] Ok. I mean, to be cool, though, to see you like draw out your designs and like, really, like, have you know, your influence because obviously you're qualified. You've won the Olympics. So I think your opinion matters. And it would be cool, though, to see kind of your take on like what an ideal slopestyle would be and see like how these park builders would react to actually changing the terrain and making it like make the terrain progressed. Because I don't think we're going to go much further than like 16 backside, 16 triple by my. Red Gerard: [00:36:01] You know, I mean. Mark Sullivan: [00:36:03] What's your favorite trick to do? My 14s. Or is it honest that I love the backside 360. Red Gerard: [00:36:12] I think it's a really fun check. But I actually think I think the park builders would love to do it. I mean, I have to imagine I've talked to a lot of them. I've talked to Chris. Chris Gunnerson and all that. But I think that they would actually love to do it. Red Gerard: [00:36:29] It's your standards with F-5s and all that that you like to qualify for the Olympics. There's actually a appreciators a certain way that, of course, has to be right. Red Gerard: [00:36:38] And that's why I like I love showing up to like to do tours and stuff when it's not Olympic year because they're always they're not under any qualifications, then it's just a building. Mark Sullivan: [00:36:48] Right. Red Gerard: [00:36:49] I mean, me as a park builder, I would think that I would want an open canvas just to go make some stuff. Mark Sullivan: [00:36:55] Ok, so what's your favorite kind of event? You have these kind of standardized fice events where they have three real three jumps. You have like a X-Games where it's just these massive gym, massive features and like gym session style qualifiers, finals. And then you have like the Dew tour, which is kind of a hybrid, but with like really creativity in the courses, which is your favorite, what do you gravitate to? Red Gerard: [00:37:20] My favorite, my two favorites are due taun U.S. Open. Red Gerard: [00:37:23] I think do tours try some really cool creative stuff and it's pretty cool. Red Gerard: [00:37:30] And then I think the U.S. Open like every year, they just they do more stuff that I think more contests look at and they start to try and do. And like I think even like this year will be a crazy year for I think there'll be some really new stuff. And I actually made a solid peach. But I think it'll be a really cool year for all that. And they're always at the front line for creativity courses and they they kill it. Mark Sullivan: [00:38:03] Thanks for to noon to another episode of The Snowboard Project. I'd like to ask you guys to rate review and subscribe to the snowboard project. You know, all those reviews, all those ratings make a difference to people's ability to search and find our podcast just out of the blue. So we really do appreciate you guys taking the time to rate review, subscribe and tell your friends about The Snowboard Project. Thanks. Mark Sullivan: [00:38:46] Ok. Well, I want to change subjects here. I have some questions, you know, about the Olympics, but actually not the same questions you've been asked before. Because I've seen air interviews of them. There were a lot of them. Right. Mark Sullivan: [00:38:57] You did a lot of interviews and that's actually the same. Red Gerard: [00:39:00] Yeah. Right. It's like, OK, you know, 18 of your family members were there. We knew you forgot your jacket. Right. Red Gerard: [00:39:07] We have you know these things, right, Billy? Yeah. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:39:10] All these things are like the kind of common knowledge, but it's like, what was it like? Like after winning, like in all of this? And then what was like the interviewer tour like? I mean, you've probably never done anything like this. I've never seen anything like this. It is like 50 interviews in a week. Right. What was that like? How did that go down? Can you describe that? Like that scene with next week after winning gold was like. Red Gerard: [00:39:35] Yeah, it was not. It was even like the next week. It was like the next 24 hours is crazy. So, yeah, I did that. Red Gerard: [00:39:43] And then I light up until that moment after my run like I after I won. Like I still thought the Olympics was just like in X Games the whole course. Mark Sullivan: [00:39:54] And I now I know like where the Olympics gets his big name because of how many. I think it's because of how many. Red Gerard: [00:40:01] And like all these interviews and stuff and all the publicity around it makes it the Olympics, you know? Yeah, it's definitely not the cause or anything because I mean, that course was actually pretty cool, is definitely more creative. I thought I thought I was sick when I was pretty sick. Red Gerard: [00:40:15] The real sections were pretty sick and there were definitely. Yeah. Interesting. Joe takes on the jumps, too, like you did that like over like from a transition over the rail at reentry in the rail section. Red Gerard: [00:40:25] That was. Yeah. Yeah I know. That's exactly what I thought. Like I like out of all courses. There's definitely more plain ones that you know like that. Yeah. You know, top three most creative at bottom. So I. After that I went into like just so many interviews that day like twenty four hours of it almost just go and did some interviews at that mountain. And then did my drug testing all that. Red Gerard: [00:40:53] And then I went like this in this car car ride down to the media center and I was there prior to like 12 or 1 a.m. I think just doing back-to-back interviews. And that's where you saw those 50 you know, the 50 interviews, the same exact questions. It was just like hopping from each station to each station, you know, is a massive it was like being in a Lowe's just full of interview, interview people, you know, like each race, like CBS or whatever had their station, ESPN had theirs. It was like being a different photo booth. Mark Sullivan: [00:41:27] And then what? That next day actually is pretty chill. I like I listen until it's well, I got to go up and watch the women's slopestyle, which was really cool. And then right after that was done, I went back down to the coastal side of the Olympics, which was like a two hour drive. Red Gerard: [00:41:45] And did went to their media center and did all theirs. Mark Sullivan: [00:41:49] And by this time I was a chauffeur and like the handlers going everywhere with you in that kind of thing. Red Gerard: [00:41:55] Yes, sort of. Sort of. Red Gerard: [00:41:56] It was just mainly like my brother Malakai and my agent Ryan Rocchi. And then there was like a little media team set up for for all that that was controlling it. Mm hmm. And then that next day I flew back to America, went to L.A. for I did like three interviews there, which was the Jimmy Kimmel one. Mm hmm. And then I was a good interview. Red Gerard: [00:42:22] Oh, thanks. I mean, people felt different. Red Gerard: [00:42:24] There's like some people that didn't like it. Some people did like it. Red Gerard: [00:42:28] But yeah, it was it was thought I was doing the snowboarding. I thought you came across like a snowboarder. That's what I get, right? Mark Sullivan: [00:42:34] Yeah. And then the people that weren't snowboarders didn't like it. Mark Sullivan: [00:42:37] So you weren't polished enough for them. It's like I'm 70 gaborik. Red Gerard: [00:42:41] Exactly. I'm jet lagged as hell right now. I'm so I hate. But. And then from there I went to New York for two days and did like Good Morning America and all that and did those and then went back to the Olympics and no more interviews. Red Gerard: [00:42:55] When I went back to Korea, I was like a. Red Gerard: [00:42:59] I show is just getting ready for big air. There is one more time. You know, but my I wish I like after doing the contest and after settling down like I was so already, like complete, you know, after winning slopestyle that I was going back. Red Gerard: [00:43:12] I didn't even care how I did it. Big and big air. You know, I actually ended up making finals. I was like, oh, my God. Red Gerard: [00:43:19] Like, kinda like, oh, almost a little bummed at the time. And like making finals and like, I don't even know what to do, you know, like I have I don't have enough shakes for Big Bear. Like, I have no clue. But I wish I was a little bit more focused going into it. Red Gerard: [00:43:32] Like once I settled down I I kind of realizes like, dang, that would've been cool. You know, try to go for another medal or something. Red Gerard: [00:43:40] But yeah, but maybe like I didn't have the pressure on you like to the same degree. And maybe that's also why you made finals, you know. Red Gerard: [00:43:49] Yes. Like 100 percent. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:43:51] And I lose your time zone. Like what? Did you stay in like Korea time when you went back to America? Did you try to stay in the Korean time zone? I do. I got so messed up. I went to Korea. I was just on the way there for like a week and a half, two weeks. Like most of the Olympics. I was jetlagged. Red Gerard: [00:44:07] Yeah, yeah. Not I was pretty good. I mean, I went back to America, was super jetlagged, waking up at like 2 a.m. and stuff. But I didn't. I just kind of dealt with it like I just did it all. It wasn't that bad. Red Gerard: [00:44:20] Like going back to Korea was super easy for me because I felt like I still was a little down at times and I never really adjusted. Red Gerard: [00:44:27] Like I remember waking up at like like in New York, waking up like 3:00 a.m. and I called my girlfriend at the time, which was she's over. She was over in Korea. So I never really adjusted. I felt like. But, yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:44:43] Do you feel like a little bit weird about the fact that you had like another contest at the end of the Olympics and you won the gold, but then they're like, OK, we're going to take you out of the Olympics, take you out of the way from your friends. And now you have to go on this tour and jump through all these hoops. It's like, yeah, you know, dance, clown dance. Right. You did that for a week and then you're like, oh, get back into the mindset of competition and Olympic victory right now. Red Gerard: [00:45:06] It was a little bit weird, but I was actually so psyched at the time, like, yeah, I was like all sick. I get to go back to America like this can be so fun. Just guys like I love on trips, like I I love going back home and stuff. Red Gerard: [00:45:18] I love taking the time and, you know, going back home. Red Gerard: [00:45:22] But it was weird coming back into it like my head definitely was a little bit like, you know, outerspace and all that. And I think if I was more focused, I would have made more of like a stretch to say, like, I'm good at like, I don't I don't want to go back to America. Red Gerard: [00:45:40] I want to stay focused for a big error. But I just wasn't really like took it all there for Big Bear. Right. [00:45:46] So they put the decision partially in your hands, whether you do this whole media gantlet EPU room. Red Gerard: [00:45:52] Yeah, it's pretty 50/50 for sure. Like I think I could argue did to go. Mark Sullivan: [00:45:56] Ok, so what was the first meal that you had after winning your gold medal in America? What was like the thing you're like, okay. I can't wait to have Taco Bell or whatever. What was it, dude? Mark Sullivan: [00:46:05] I think it was to pull away. Honestly, I have no. I'm trying to think. I think is viable. Yeah. Really? Mark Sullivan: [00:46:12] So you're Donner maybe you maybe like. Red Gerard: [00:46:14] Yeah, maybe even room service. I can't really remember. I know once I got the first thing I did when I got back from Korea after Big Bear we went on like a whole other media tour, but it started in L.A. again. Red Gerard: [00:46:25] The first thing I did when I got off the plane, I went straight edge. Okay. Nice. Yeah. Mark Sullivan: [00:46:30] What do you think of the food in Korea? I thought the breakfast was a little bit crazy. Yeah. Yeah, I like the food there, but it was definitely different, you know. Red Gerard: [00:46:39] Yeah, for sure. Definitely was a little different. I thought his Big Bear the Korean barbecues. Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:46:46] Like the ones in the athletes village. I thought I thought that the village food was not that great, but we were super lucky. The US team had like their own USA house which left athlete village. Red Gerard: [00:46:57] There's like a bus leaving every 15 minutes and they were always cooking up food for us, which is really nice of them. All right. Mark Sullivan: [00:47:04] So you could get something anytime you want. That was actually like healthy. Good. Do they have, like me? Exactly. The athlete village. Red Gerard: [00:47:11] It was it was a weird scene like the they had at anything you want. It was like a world class one. Red Gerard: [00:47:16] it was like you could get like sushi. That was not that great sushi or like pizza that like totally tasted like, you know, I got it was out of a frozen freezer. But then like Hailie and Kyle Mac. But I was in America doing my like inbetween contests. They went down to the coastal one night, the coastal athlete village, how much the eating place there. And they said the food there was like fantastic. Red Gerard: [00:47:41] And they loved it. Really, really. But the mountain wasn't that good. Mark Sullivan: [00:47:45] I guess you got the short end of the stick up in the mountains. Red Gerard: [00:47:48] So yeah, I guess that was pretty mellow though I think in the athlete village because it's like people who were in the media. Red Gerard: [00:47:55] We don't get to go into the athletes village. So I'm just curious. Like what? Sassine, like, what's your accommodations like where you're staying? Red Gerard: [00:48:02] Accommodations were a little interesting, we were actually pretty squished. It was like me and Kyle Macro's shared a room. But in our apartment building, in the same building, it was like Chase Josie and Jake Pates were in the room right next to us. And then Ben Ferguson was there in Ryan's day. So Chris chording were in a room, those really small apartments with like 30 rooms in each apartment. But it was cool where with like we knew everyone. We had a really good squad. It would have been different if it was like you roomed up with someone that did like bobsledding or something, you know, because everyone was in the same building, like we had a USA hotel. Basically, it was like a tower, you know, just rooms in it. That was all USA. So school then to Paris up with their friends and stuff. Mark Sullivan: [00:48:50] Did you guys get in to any run in with the authorities? I mean, I know you guys are snowboarders and I know that you're out to have a good time as well. And after the pressure was off, I guess you were probably caught up in this, the media crush after that and probably on your best behavior, I would imagine as well, because all eyes were on you. Did you get into any trouble or have any. Mark Sullivan: [00:49:12] Like, you know, hijinx over in South Korea? No. Let's see. Red Gerard: [00:49:21] No, no, I didn't actually in like, you know, any time I was messing around, my whole family was there. So I went to hang out with them. And that was actually the best meal I had was with my family and some Korean barbecue. Right now, everyone was so fire. Mark Sullivan: [00:49:37] Everyone knows it. Like 18 of your family members were there. I think your brother was at the top of the half pipe or the slope style rate before you dropped in. Is that correct? Mark Sullivan: [00:49:49] Your brother? No. He was in because he was so hard to get your attention since I write a lot of data in there, but he wasn't. But I remember Frankie Chapman was there, which is really cool. Red Gerard: [00:50:01] He's like one of my best buds. OK. That was said to have them up there. But now they were all down on the bottom. It was so hard to get your attention. Mark Sullivan: [00:50:08] Something right. I mean, it's pretty, pretty gnarly. But who. Red Gerard: [00:50:13] Who were the family members that came out? Obviously, your you have a big like God direct family. But then, I mean, not 18 brothers, sisters and parents. So who were the people there from your family? Let's talk about your family for a few minutes, because you I think in a lot of your interviews, you're like, hey, man, I'm stoked. My family's here. Right. Let's talk about your family being there and pay them the respect they deserve. Red Gerard: [00:50:34] Yeah, totally. So all my brothers and sisters, there's seven of us, including me and then my mom, my dad and then my cousins were there. Red Gerard: [00:50:44] And then basically, I think was. Just my cousins. Red Gerard: [00:50:50] Other than that, which is basically like we were we were on a really tight family, like my cousins are basically your brothers and sisters and stuff, and we're always spending Christmas together in a few of my cousins live like 30 minutes from where I'm at right now. Mark Sullivan: [00:51:04] So we hang out with them like every weekend and stuff. So are they snowboarders, too? Red Gerard: [00:51:09] Yeah, everyone Stowe was not as much as I do, but it was nowhere. Red Gerard: [00:51:13] All right. So let's talk about that. Like, how did you actually, like, learn how to snowboard? I understand that your older brother kind of taught you how to ride at a very young age. Red Gerard: [00:51:24] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My older brother and my dad, I think from what I can remember, my dad, just like we're in Whistler Blackhomb only family trip was super. Yeah. I think they remember this, but my dad used to just carry me up the hill because he wanted in lift tickets for me and just send me down the hill. And I remember moving out to Colorado the first you removed out here. I thought I was such a king on us. No, we're back in Ohio like ribbon on nails. Got here, went up a chairlift. I was like, oh, my God, these men are so much bigger. And we're just bombing down the whole hell and sliding my sliding to my butt. And if I did that for like the first seven, 10 days out here and then I finally learned to like link some cars. Mark Sullivan: [00:52:06] So do you learn how to ride a bike first or how to snowboard first? Red Gerard: [00:52:11] I think it was kind of both that same year, too, it was two years old, that was a big year for me apparently because I learned how to ride this little dirt bike that we had, this little Honda 50 and a bicycle. That same year. And so it's skateboarding and snowboarding. Mark Sullivan: [00:52:26] So how did you actually like what was the impetus to actually move from Ohio to Colorado? Because I don't really you know, I don't understand how that happens. I would like a whole family picks up and moves like across the country, you know? Red Gerard: [00:52:42] Yeah. It wasn't even it definitely wasn't for me by any means. It was. My mom, just like my brother Brandon, went to Crestview Academy in Colorado and my mom and dad did like a couple, two years in a row. They did like visits to him out there and they loved it a lot. My mom hates when I say this, but she was hit. I was is like a little bit like a midlife crisis sort of thing where she has had to get out of Ohio because I'm in the winters is like it can get pretty ugly. Pretty depressing. Depressing. Sorry, depressing. Yeah. Just so dark. And, you know, it's like really cold and so dark. Red Gerard: [00:53:24] And my dad can work from home, from home. So it was a pretty easy thing to do. The first year we just rented a house and kind of brought everyone out there for the winter. And then we did that for a couple of years and we went out there in the winter and then went back to the summers, did that for three or four years. Red Gerard: [00:53:45] And then one year we just stayed out there full time. And eventually my parents ended up selling the house in Ohio and buying a house out there. Mark Sullivan: [00:53:54] Cool. You know, my mom actually came from a big family, like kind of like yours. And it struck strikes me that like every kid in that family is like different. Right. They all have different flavors. They all went on to do different things in their life. What is it like? What is your what do all your brothers do? Like what is Creighton do right now? Mark Sullivan: [00:54:14] Where's he at? Core? Red Gerard: [00:54:18] Honestly, they should know this. And I kind of do. He's like. He's like. And his lawyer's assistant, which I'm probably saying that really wrong and has some title. But he lives actually back in Cleveland. He's lucky with his jobs every month. He gets like he gets like 10 days off every month. So he'll usually go back out to Colorado and go hang up my parents because he he's slowly turned. Red Gerard: [00:54:46] I think get out of Cleveland a little bit. Right. And then Trevor works for fall shoes and Malachi works. I mean, he's a film or he's he's filming the then our next year project as well. Mark Sullivan: [00:55:00] But any and Trever, live with you right now in Oceanside. Red Gerard: [00:55:04] Yeah. Yeah. They live. Yep. And then what? So then, yeah. Chi also helps out with my sister. Red Gerard: [00:55:13] She does. My sister's a food blogger. She Bone zone business called half a Tavis. Right. And my brother Malik makes all of her videos over food and all that. Mark Sullivan: [00:55:25] Really? She's like famous. So she's like in certain circles, she's more famous than you. Red Gerard: [00:55:30] Oh, she's way more famous than me. And she. She kills it. She, like, has almost a million Instagram followers and all that and really always is flying to New York and find Ali and stuff on talk shows like every day. Red Gerard: [00:55:41] And people love love her. He has got to check it out. There is less than you know. Mark Sullivan: [00:55:46] But what's the best meal she's ever made for you? Because I assume she knows how to cook. Red Gerard: [00:55:51] Pretty good. Yeah. Red Gerard: [00:55:52] And I've been trying again to cook, too, as I've done, like, you know, living in my own house. Now, I've been trying to get into it, but she. The best to try this one. It's been going around in the family for a while. It's pretty easy. But she's potato chip chaikin. Get some chicken crush ups and potato chips and put LONGERGAN over the college meal. Red Gerard: [00:56:14] But it's pretty fiery. I love it. Red Gerard: [00:56:16] And she makes amazing, amazing dishes, though, like really good pastas and all that. And her sweets are unbelievable. I like your desserts. Mark Sullivan: [00:56:26] And that's Teagan, right? Red Gerard: [00:56:28] That's Teagan then Brandon. Red Gerard: [00:56:30] He is like a manager of a shipping warehouse in L.A. that is now wife. Red Gerard: [00:56:39] It's his like his wife's sister owns this business and he runs the shipping department of the business. Mark Sullivan: [00:56:44] So how does he feel about having a younger brother who is like an Olympic gold medalist? Red Gerard: [00:56:51] I think he loves it. Red Gerard: [00:56:53] I don't know. Red Gerard: [00:56:54] I actually cannot really tell you anything they ask them, but I think he likes it. I love when he likes. There's a couple of contests that he'll fly out for. Red Gerard: [00:57:03] And like, it's funny seeing him snowboarding isn't really. He lives in L.A. now and doesn't snowboard as much as he used to. It. Do it, runs it, and then like I was sleep on, like how good he was. All right. Mark Sullivan: [00:57:16] Ok. So I imagine that your family is, like most others, their sibling rivalry. Right. And so all of your family's snowboard zoĂ. And so, you know, I remember this very distinctly when I actually considered myself least on my own, had better as a snowboarder than my older brother. Mark Sullivan: [00:57:32] When did you get better at snowboarding than Trever, Brendan Chye and Crighton? Red Gerard: [00:57:39] I don't know. I would say when I got better than Chi Chi was my main competition and his younger brandnew was out of reach. Red Gerard: [00:57:48] Yeah, yeah, he was too good. But I got better than Chi Chi like had some unfortunate injuries and all that from snowboarding when he was younger. And I think he'll save. And I just passed him on to one of his injuries out of that. Well, I just came home and I was a little bit older than him or something. Red Gerard: [00:58:07] And then, Brandon, I know that you could eat. Red Gerard: [00:58:10] That's a question for him. Mark Sullivan: [00:58:13] He'll never forget that day. Red Gerard: [00:58:15] Yeah, he's still sleeping. He thinks he is the better one still. Red Gerard: [00:58:18] Yeah. You've got you've got some other hardware to contests that. [00:58:22] Yeah. You know, but he's pretty good at arguing. He's the arguer of the family. You can win any argument so. [00:58:29] Well you think you're winner and legal brother Creighton would be the better arguer. [00:58:33] Yeah he is. But he sleeps. He's real quiet about it. He's the, you know, really low key about everything. He just kind of hangs out. Okay. Okay. Cool. [00:58:43] Yeah. And Trevor still writing to write. [00:58:46] Yeah. Yeah. All right. He actually just flew to Colorado today. He's going to get some work out there. And you snowboard, too. Mark Sullivan: [00:58:54] Cool. So. So when does your season actually begin? Like, when are you like, pack in your bags from Oceanside and being like, this is winter time now. I'm now in snowboard season. Red Gerard: [00:59:07] I think it kind of already happened. Red Gerard: [00:59:10] I always feel like it happens like right when we go to New Zealand, but I think it realistically full time happens like when we go to go to Europe for all those training camps. Red Gerard: [00:59:21] So you're going to have to start talks at the end of the month. Stuff like that. Yeah. I flew from Europe to like Joy for the premiere there. So you guys are stomping ground park session. That's awesome. Red Gerard: [00:59:34] Yeah, I did that. And I feel like that's where it always starts. And I'm supposed to fly back to Europe all.

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Brendan Wright. They speak about the Korean Civil War period (1948-1960), the government orchestrated massacres of Leftist groups, the significant events that occurred in Jeju, Kyongju and Kochang, the national scale of this violence, its coordination from the Syngman Rhee administration, the silencing and repression of the victims and their families, the fight of victims' groups to achieve justice, the ways in which the dead have had their identities smeared, the pressure and violence that victims' groups have had to endure over the years, the historical re-imagining of this period, the political motivations behind this type of historical memory, the limitations of this movement for recognition, and the ways in which this history is still affecting Korean society today. Brendan Wright is currently the Korea Foundation Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto. He completed his PhD at the University of British Columbia in 2016. He is working on completing his manuscript “Civil War, Politicide, and the Politics of Memory in South Korea, 1948-1961”. His work has been published in Cross Currents, The Asia Pacific Journal, Verso and by Routledge.

I didn't know which train to take. W: That's OK. Glad you made it here. So where would you like to go? M: Um, I want to go to Peace Park, and see the atomic bomb dome. And, I want to do some shopping. Is the city center far from Peace Park? W: No, it's very near Peace Park. OK, let's get on the tram and go to Peace Park. (sound of the tram) M: It's my first time to get on a tram. We have trains back home, but we don't have these ... W: You can see the center of Hiroshima City on the way to Peace Park. Oh, we're getting off at this station. M: So, is that the atomic bomb dome? W: Yes. I think it's the symbol of Hiroshima. I didn't think about its meaning very much when I was small, but when I think about its meaning now, I want a lot of people to see this. So I'm very glad you're here. M: Thanks. I can see there are a lot of tourists here too. W: Yeah, I often pass through Peace Park and there are always non-Japanese people here, which is great. M: Hey, Aya, we learned a little about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima at school, but we didn't learn much. Were your grandparents here when the bomb was dropped? W: My grandfather was in Hiroshima, and he told me his brother was killed, and they never found his body. M: That's terrible…There must be a lot of people who don't know much about the atomic bomb and its cruelty. We all should know the facts and never repeat this tragedy again. W: Yes, you're right. So, where shall we go now? The Peace Memorial Museum is way down there. M: Let's walk around the park and go then to the museum. W: OK. And let's go to the city center after the museum. What would you like for lunch? I recommend okonomiyaki. M: What's that? W: Um, it's kind of like a pancake but it's not sweet, and we eat it at lunch or dinner. Hiroshima is famous for its own style of okonomiyaki. There are lots of okonomiyaki shops in Hiroshima. It's really nice. I'm sure you'll like it.

Well, I guess we can try some deer snacks. Are they good? W: I think so. The deer seem to like them. M: The deer? Why would you give them to the deer? W: Daddy, these snacks are FOR the deer. Can we please buy some? M: Hmm, I don't think that's a good idea. Deer can make you very sick. They have many bad things called diseases. We should stay as far away from them as possible. Now come on. Let's start our great adventure! W: Pretty please. They look so hungry. M: I said no, and that's final. Cupcake, Daddy just doesn't trust any of those hungry deer. That's all. W: (sadly) OK. M: Now cheer up. There's much more to do here than just feeding the deer. Let's see here. We can sit in the maple leaf park or climb up Mount Misen. Or, we can walk right in front of the beautiful Floating Torii Gate. W: (Sigh) OK. Hmm, can we follow the deer to the shrine gate? M: OK, that sounds like a great idea! Just stay close behind me. (Two minutes later) M: Let's see. According to this map, the shrine gate should be right around the corner. W: One. Two. Three. M: Oh, did you know that when the water level becomes really low you can actually walk out to the gate and touch it? Pretty cool, huh? W: Six. Seven. Eight. M: Cupcake, are you counting the number of deer? W: No, daddy. I'm counting the number of deer snacks I find. Look, now we don't have to buy them! I found them all on the ground by myself! M: What? Let me see. (Momentary Pause) Oh my, drop that right now! That's not deer snacks! That's deer poop!

What have you been up to? W: Oh, thanks, Ron… Um, what do you mean? M: I mean, have you started something new, such as yoga or some kind of new cosmetic product? I'm just curious… W: Well… there is something… M: What? What's the secret? W: Well, this is just between you and me, OK? Actually, I just started eating okonomiyaki twice a week. No running or muscular training. I just devour okonomiyaki twice a week! M: I can't believe that just eating okonomiyaki makes you beautiful.? Isn't okonomiyaki fatty and oily? How can it make you look good? W: Actually, okonomiyaki's pretty healthy because it contains lots of ingredients.? There are vegetables like cabbage, eggs, meat, and seafood. That's why my skin looks so clean and fresh! I feel that I have a super power inside me! M: Don't you get tired of eating the same thing twice a week? W: Do you know that there's a ton of variations? We can make it with anything, such as cheese or potatoes.? We can change its taste. Creating okonomiyaki is like creating art or music! Hey, why don't we eat okonomiyaki together tonight? M: Ah… W: Oh, come on. You deserve to taste the harmony of the sauce and the mayonnaise-- dried bonito dancing on the top of okonomiyaki!? Why not? M: OK. Let's go. Where to? W: I usually eat at that okonomiyaki restaurant called Muscle Power Yaki. M: Hey, isn't that the one where all those really cool guys work? W: Yeah. They're so good-looking! They always make me happy. And they serve me okonomiyaki. M: Oh NOW I know why okonomiyaki makes you so beautiful!

I didn't know which train to take. W: That's OK. Glad you made it here. So where would you like to go? M: Um, I want to go to Peace Park, and see the atomic bomb dome. And, I want to do some shopping. Is the city center far from Peace Park? W: No, it's very near Peace Park. OK, let's get on the tram and go to Peace Park. (sound of the tram) M: It's my first time to get on a tram. We have trains back home, but we don't have these ... W: You can see the center of Hiroshima City on the way to Peace Park. Oh, we're getting off at this station. M: So, is that the atomic bomb dome? W: Yes. I think it's the symbol of Hiroshima. I didn't think about its meaning very much when I was small, but when I think about its meaning now, I want a lot of people to see this. So I'm very glad you're here. M: Thanks. I can see there are a lot of tourists here too. W: Yeah, I often pass through Peace Park and there are always non-Japanese people here, which is great. M: Hey, Aya, we learned a little about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima at school, but we didn't learn much. Were your grandparents here when the bomb was dropped? W: My grandfather was in Hiroshima, and he told me his brother was killed, and they never found his body. M: That's terrible…There must be a lot of people who don't know much about the atomic bomb and its cruelty. We all should know the facts and never repeat this tragedy again. W: Yes, you're right. So, where shall we go now? The Peace Memorial Museum is way down there. M: Let's walk around the park and go then to the museum. W: OK. And let's go to the city center after the museum. What would you like for lunch? I recommend okonomiyaki. M: What's that? W: Um, it's kind of like a pancake but it's not sweet, and we eat it at lunch or dinner. Hiroshima is famous for its own style of okonomiyaki. There are lots of okonomiyaki shops in Hiroshima. It's really nice. I'm sure you'll like it. (Written by Ayumi Furutani) 2. やさしい英語会話 (102) Miyajima M: Hurry up cupcake. Keep up! We got a lot to see today. W: Daddy, can we buy deer snacks? M: Deer snacks? Well, I guess we can try some deer snacks. Are they good? W: I think so. The deer seem to like them. M: The deer? Why would you give them to the deer? W: Daddy, these snacks are FOR the deer. Can we please buy some? M: Hmm, I don't think that's a good idea. Deer can make you very sick. They have many bad things called diseases. We should stay as far away from them as possible. Now come on. Let's start our great adventure! W: Pretty please. They look so hungry. M: I said no, and that's final. Cupcake, Daddy just doesn't trust any of those hungry deer. That's all. W: (sadly) OK. M: Now cheer up. There's much more to do here than just feeding the deer. Let's see here. We can sit in the maple leaf park or climb up Mount Misen. Or, we can walk right in front of the beautiful Floating Torii Gate. W: (Sigh) OK. Hmm, can we follow the deer to the shrine gate? M: OK, that sounds like a great idea! Just stay close behind me.
