Julian Carr is arguably the most interesting person in skiing. Between his gigantic airs that defy what is humanly possible, to his first of its kind in the US trail running events, The Cirque Series, to his Blake’s Bronco project, which landed him a deal with Ford, Julian has made a habit of turning his passions into his life’s work…both personally and professionally. In part 2 of the podcast, we discuss the details behind big air; the 210-footer in Engelberg, Parker Cook, asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Simon Dumont

Simon Dumont is a legendary figure in the world of freeskiing.  Known for boosting higher than almost anyone else in the halfpipe, Simon’s career was full of podiums and video parts.  While he is a legend in the sport, things didn’t come easy for Simon.  He was always too small and told he would never make it and he never listened.  He willed and worked himself to success and it’s something he believes anyone can do, if they put in the work.  Simon Dumont Show Notes: 2:00:  Meeting Simon for the first time, having a chip on his shoulder, and height 5:30:  Maine, Native American, and child modeling 9:00:  Sports, snow, and talents 15:00:  Meeting Strokes and X-Games alternate 18:00:  Stanley:  Get 30% of f site wide with the code powell30 Evo:  The best online experience in action sports with retail to back it up 19:45:  Generations, films, and breaking his pelvis 27:00:  Cube Pipe, Quarter Pipe, and channeling anger 36:30:  Sponsors, Michael Spencer, and contest winnings 40:30 :  Spy Optic:  Get 20% off on their site Spyoptic.com using the code TPM20 10 Barrel Brewery:  Buy their beers, they support action sports more than anyone 42:00:  Investments, the 10% rule, and the JOI/JOSS 50:00:  Slumdog Illionaire, Head, and losing motivation 55:00:  The Olympics, injury, and life now 59:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Peter Olenick
