In this episode, Cody has a conversation with Gus Engle, a former professional snowboarder turned musician. Back when he was a snowboarder, rather than taking to the mountains, Gus headed to more urban locations to ride. He ollied sidewalks, slid on corrugated pipes, rode down cement ledges, and jumped off overpasses. Altogether, he helped change the definition of what it means to go snowboarding. His impact on the sport is one of those things that was immediately felt, but was not immediately attributed to him. But that's how those thing go sometimes. However, in time, history may be kinder to his contributions. Today, Gus lives just outside Quebec City, Canada with his wife Este, pursuing a career as a musician with his band Gus Englehorn.  Gus has always been a dreamer. He's always chased his passions, usually resulting in something strange and uniquely Gus. That's what he did as a professional snowboarder, and that's what he's doing now with his music. He's a self-described monomaniac, meaning he can only be obsessive about one thing at a time. And when Gus obsesses about something, it becomes all-consuming.  Gus phoned in for this conversation from his Canadian home in the woods.

EP 046 with Gus Engle

Episode #47 http://traffic.libsyn.com/thenotsnowboardingpodcast/Gus_Engle_Episode_47_of_The_Not_Snowboarding_Podcast_.mp3 AJ joins Nate in The Not Snowboarding Podcast studio (Nate’s basement) and they connect with Gus via Skype to discuss a wide variety of topics. The conversation ranges from Russian literature to moose milk and everything in between. The following words written by Matt Vantta back in 2012  (link to the full ESPN article) articulately describe Gus: “Gus Engle is a true original, a bohemian lover of life that appears to be drawn right out of a Kerouac novel. His snowboard seems to be less an instrument of athletic progression and more like a paintbrush of a master. To really dig Engle’s snowboarding you have to be open minded, because it’s not manufactured and doesn’t meet industry standards for how you’re supposed to ride. Based on our chat with Gus, I’d add: “Gus has a kind, authentic infectious energy and an appreciation for the beauty that lies in the subtleties of everyday life.”   This episode is brought to you by Let It Block Sunscreen  Let It Block is a mineral based paraben free sunscreen that both Nate and AJ use and 100% back. Nate recommends Goth Block for anyone that wants to protect their tattoos from the sun!   Use discount code “TNSP” for 40% off of two packages sunscreen or more (valid through the end of 2016).   Let It Block – Sun DMC (SPF 30) Original Formula (SPF 30) and Goth Block (SPF 50) Nate’s giving away these Vintage Sims Bindings, Size 10.5 32 Boots (used one season), Revenge of the Grenerds and Cue The Birds.

We gathered all our water, totally off the grid.”  “I can’t drink coffee either – it’s like two week long emotional rollercoaster.”  “It’s so culturally acceptable now to be a skateboarder – from all walks of life, there’s more people doing it. It’s still beautiful though, both skateboarding and snowboarding.” “Football isn’t even in the Olympics – skateboarding is!”   “I really do have a hole in my heart for all my friends, the Pacific North West, Think Thank… I miss that so much.”  “I seem really easy going,but I’m really hyper obsessed and stressed out.”  “I was just so nervous around girls that I couldn’t even imagine one liking me and I can’t believe that one does.”  “I’m excited by ideas!”  “Come to Quebec – that’s the secret, there’s really amazing girls.”  “I lived in a van for three or four years… I really loved it – it’s so fun to travel all the time.”  “I just usually wake up super early and open the doors and brush my teeth and pee on the street.”  “One little step off to the side and you can be somewhere strange and uncharted.”  “We’re just all floating around in a big pool of influence.”   “When I was living in Hawaii, I just shook trees and got fruit!”  Want to help the podcast grow?
