TPM Episode 230: Rory Bushfield, Pro Skier Part 2 Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

Rory Bushfield is known for living dangerously. He's part reckless, part calculated, and always fun. Even on this podcast, not many people live a life close to as spontaneous and adventurous as the life of Rory Bushfield. His risks and adventures have created notoriety, respect, money, and a whole lot of loss. We talk about it all on Part 2 of Bushy's Podcast and Trennon Paynter asks the "Inappropriate Questions" to close it out and they don't disappoint.

TPM Episode 229: Rory Bushfield, Pro Skier Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

Rory Bushfield is known for living dangerously. Yeah, he's a pro skier, but the risk factor seems to come from everything else in life that he does. Rory started out as the kid who was always getting hurt, but he was also the kid who, cast or not, would crush you in the moguls. He was the JR Olympic Mogul Champion and he quit his Olympic path or the park, pipe, and video parts. In part 1 of this hilarious podcast, we talk about his stunts, money, LCP, death, pressure, and a lot more.

TPM Episode 228: Shane Anderson, Pro Skier, Filmmaker May 31, 2021

Show notes

Shane Anderson was a key personality and image when skiing needed it the most, in the mid to late 90's. While Shane had the Rockstar look, it was his tricks and the company he kept that thrust him to the forefront of the ski industry. Part early big mountain guy and part new schooler, Shane rolled with the innovators of the sport until injuries got in the way. On the podcast, we talk skiing, the Tahoe crew, Hollywood, and making documentary films.

TPM Episode 227: Alex Hall, Pro Skier May 24, 2021

Show notes

Alex Hall has the world in the palm of his hands. In only a few years, Alex has gone from an up-and-coming Swiss kid to arguably the best American Slopestyle skier... What's different about Alex is his basketball player height and the hunger he brings to the table. The best part about Alex is that he is a throwback… He's the X Games Gold winner in Real Ski, in Slopestyle, and in Big Air but he always makes sure that he's filming for something. And he's just getting started.

TPM Episode 226: Jason Hines, ASA Entertainment--X-Games--Red Bull May 17, 2021

Show notes

Jason Hines has spent his entire career behind the scenes building events and he has been responsible for some of the biggest action sports events in the world and beyond, and he's put out fires at all of them. I'm talking Red Bull, X Games, ASA Entertainment, and more. ….but he's so much more than that. On the podcast, we talk about race throughout his life, inline skating in the '90s in South Florida, all the events, Red Bull, and more.

TPM Episode 225: Damian Sanders, Legendary Snowboarder May 10, 2021

Show notes

Damian Sanders is arguably the first and last real rockstar in the world of snowboarding. He's one of those riders who had an image that the whole sport could be marketed on. From his look to the way he rode, to how he partied, to his entourage, if you saw Damian out, you wouldn't think he was a snowboarder. He was larger than life and defined 'go big or go home' on and off snow. On the podcast, we talk about coming up punk/new wave, Tahoe, Palmer, Farmer, Plake, cars, money, and more. It's a fun chat with a true living legend.

TPM Epsiode 224: Rory Silva, Pro Skier May 03, 2021

Show notes

Rory Silva was a child prodigy and one of my favorites…. He was this talented kid, who had a really unique style, and was progressive. What he didn't have was the assertiveness, ambition, and guidance to become a household name in skiing….But he still had a huge impact on the skiers of his era. On the podcast we talk about weed, video parts gone wrong, diabetes, and more...

Rory Silva Show Notes:

TPM Episode 223: Tim Petrick, Ski Industry Legend Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

Tim Petrick has had a pretty epic ski career. From ski instruction, to the PSIA Demo Team, to Powder Magazine, to Aspen, to K2, to Booth Creek, to K2, to Rossignol, to K2, to Silverton…… You get the idea, Tim has done it all and most of it, at the corporate executive level…. But Tim Petrick is not your typical exec, he's a ski bum at heart and this podcast is a testament to how much this dude loves to ski.

Tim Petrick Show Notes:

TPM Episode 222: John Collinson, Pro Skier Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

John Collinson's upbringing was different than most of my guests. He grew up in a closet with his older sister and didn't do many things that most kids do. However, what he did experience was unfathomable, summiting Rainier at 4 years old, summiting Everest at 17, and so much more. On the podcast, we talk about how he went from the closet to his sister's shadow, to pro skier, to social media influencer known for his incredible body. Angel Collinson asks the 'Inappropriate Questions' in this do not miss episode.

TPM Ep 221: Kent Kreitler, Legendary Skier, Part 2 Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Kent Kreitler is a living legend and TGR Hall of Famer. He'll be remembered as the skier who helped bring tricks to the backcountry but he was so much more than that. He was part of an elite crew of skiers that pioneered big mountain skiing in Alaska….the generation that lived fast and took chances. In part two of his podcast, we talk about the Tahoe years, filming with the Standard Crew, the terrain park on 215's, the X Games, sponsors, money, and more….
