Send us a textMark McMorris, Russel Chai, and Brock Crouch joined skier Max at the UBC Ski and Snowboard Club presentation of Redbull's Paved Q&A. I set up in the background, recorded it and am putting it out as a McMorris episode... I've been working on getting the great Canadian Superpro snowboarder on the show for over ten years and even after meeting him at this event I'm not holding my breath. As an x-game, olympic, and Natural Selection medal winner Mark McMorris is a busy guy. Wish me luck on landing a one on one with him sometime in the next ten years...Check us out at https://www.fnradpodcast.comFNRad 11 is presented by Flojoy Waterhttps://www.flojoyh2o.comFNRad 11 Sponsors:Burton Snowboardshttps://www.burton.comBluebird Coffee Tuning and Rentalshttps://bluebirdsquamish.comAnon Opticshttps://www.burton.com/ca/en/c/anon-optics-gogglesFix Bindingshttps://fixbindingco.comUpline Brewinghttps://uplinebrewing.comFNRad 11 Support1910https://9teenten.comThe Pro Standardhttps://www.prostandard.comPacific Boarderhttps://pacificboarder.comMount Seymourhttps://mtseymour.caGrouse Mountainhttps://www.grousemountain.comCypress Mountainhttps://www.cypressmountain.comEssential Toothpaste Tabshttps://www.essentialtoothpaste.comSupport the show

Send us a textThis week was crazy with Ingemar asking in the Facebook group Vintage Snowboard Estimates "How much is this board worth" about the actual Atlantis board he rode at Riksgransen in 1996 for that epic backside air.When I reach out to ask him what was up, he told me he was wrapping his head around what was happening and that we could record a short podcast to explain to the overwhelming number of people who'd reached out to him what was going on.Support the show

Send us a textSean Kearns answers listener questions!Sean's life sounds like ten of my lives. He's been a sponsored skater, professional snowboarder, international snowboard filmer, movie producer, talent manager, studio director, and registered therapist. And that's an incomplete list. Kearns is infamous for living the Whiskey movies and holding Whistler hostage during snowboardings boom years. And I consider him one of the most caring people you could ever meet.Coincidences happen for me when Sean is around. And I interpret those coincidences as messages from my life guides telling me I'm on the right path. He's been a huge influence on my life, changing its course in a big way several times. The final episode of FNRad Season Ten is the definitive Fucking Rad Guest doing something he does very well, speaking in a very real way about his very cool life.
