We sat down with some of the legends at Natural Selection Tour 2026, plus a few of the people behind the scenes who keep the whole thing moving. Featuring - Travis Rice, Mark McMorris, Blake Moller, Billy Pelchat, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, Yuki Kadono, Circe Wallace and Liam Griffin. Hosted by Jody Wachniak and Darrah Reid Mclean A heavy mix of legends and next up riders. These conversations went down in Revelstoke, right in between qualifiers and finals… so yeah, it's a bit raw and there's some background noise. I debated not using it but the conversations were too good to leave on the table. Appreciate you tuning in, this one's got some real gems in it. Enjoy.  Presented by Monster Engery Supported by Gibbons Whistler, Arc'teryx, The Source, Vans, Baldface Lodge Thumbnail Photo - Rob Lemay

Keegan Hosefros is the definition of all-terrain. Streets, pow, side hits, pipe whatever's in front of him, he makes it look proper. He's definitely been focused on the powder lately with his eyes on NST and a Pro model board. We get into the grind behind filming, working with the OG legends, the mental side of comparison, future goals and more. This kid's got a bright future, big fan. Tune in!

Sean Kearns isn't just part of snowboard history, he helped build it. From the Whiskey films that defined an era, to shaping the culture behind the scenes as a filmmaker, producer, and entrepreneur, Sean Kearns has been quietly steering snowboarding's direction for decades. His film legacy runs deep: Whiskey 1-4, 20/20, Technical Difficulties, to the Forum movies; The Resistance, True Life, Nixon Jib Fest, Shakedown, Chulksmack, That, etc. Skateboarder. Snowboarder. Filmmaker. If you rode in the 90s, wore out VHS tapes or care about how this culture actually came together this conversation hits deep. And yes, there were some serious leasons learnt along the way. This one's special. Thank you Sean.  Our Kind of Chaos is an unreleased documentary you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for, it's currently making the rounds at film festivals. An incredible, raw and very eye-opening film. Huge respect to Clay Larson, Ryan Stutt and the entire team for bringing this one to life. Enjoy the show. Important Note: This episode touches on addiction and mental health. If this brings anything up for you or someone you care about please reach out to a mental health professional or trusted support.

This week on the show we sit down with Lucas Beaufort 🇫🇷🎨 We get into personal growth, carving out your own lane and the pressure of putting yourself in a box as an artist. The rules (and breaking them), Lucas' dreams, snowboarding, skateboarding, and building something bigger than yourself through community. Lucas has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world and accomplished things many artists dream of but we talk honestly about how those opportunities come from insanely hard work, belief, and staying true to your vision. We also dive into his new event The Common Line, creating space for people to connect, create, and belong. A real one. Honest conversation. Lots of perspective. Enjoy this one.
