    Episode #85

    Giray Dadali spent his whole life in the shadow if his older brother, pro skier Ahmet Dadali.  While working to create a name for himself in the ski world, Giray realized he already had a name that everyone knew, Ahmet’s Brother.  Fast forward to today and Giray has had 3 signature Ahmet’s Brother Pro Model Skis and has finally stepped out from his brother’s shadow, kind of.  On top of all that, Giray is a schooled engineer who created and is currently selling the often sold out Daymaker Touring System.  His story is awesome and his experience, totally different than his brothers.

    Giray Dadali Show Notes:

    2:00:  What has he been up to this summer?

    4:40:  Growing up Turkish, a big family and his relationship with them

    12:00:  I hate NY Crew, summer set ups,  and competing.

    Parker White is one of the most creative, stylish skiers out there today.  He’s known for his Level 1 Segments, his friendship with Darkness, and the style he brings to the backcountry.  He’s one of the more likeable people in skiing and while he’s only 28, he grew up fast in the ski world, moving from the East Coast to Mammoth at an age when most people are thinking about getting a driver’s license.  He’s also started brands, developed a line of skis and a whole lot more.

    Eric Iberg grew up in Edina, MN, but there was no cake-eating in his life.  It was all about skiing and baseball…and baseball didn’t work out.  This legendary filmmaker is also a true ski historian.  He’s a creative who’s also a people person that used film-making as his launch into the ski world.  Over the years, there were a lot of companies, movies and experiences…everything but a big payday for Eric and we talk about it all on the podcast.

    It’s summertime and in the snow world, that means summer camp.  This week I headed down to Windell’s Camp in Oregon to catch up with longtime camp veteran and TGR athlete Tim Durtschi.  On the podcast, we walk through Tim’s life and times.  Tim is one of those dudes that has no media training and is not afraid to answer anything which makes for an entertaining show and the “Inappropriate Questions” with Andy Parry may be the best yet.

    Ahmet Dadali knows -better than most- that to make it as a pro skier, coming from the East Coast, you have to have that one-track mind, the drive to push though the bs and make it happen for yourself.  Ahmet and his ‘I hate NY Crew’, not only came form the East but helped shape the game in the world of street skiing.  Ahmet is opinionated and has no problem saying what he’s thinking.

    Ahmet Dadali Show Notes:

    2:00:  Traveling to Indonesia

    Jen Hudak spent the better part of the past decade standing on podiums, hoping to make it to the Olympics and fighting for equality in skiing.  And while her life has transitioned to life coaching and desk work, Jen is still involved in the skiing as an ESPN analyst who als represents one of the few female voices found in the meetings and on the air at the X-Games.  We talk about the lack of women’s tv coverage, how her fight can continue and her successful, injury plagued career.

    Episode #65

    Release date: April 16, 2018

    Listen on Spotify HERE!

    Mike Wilson is an athlete with elite ability and you can say he “made it” in the world of action sports.  You can also say that Mike didn’t achieve his full potential. Mike has always marched to the beat of his own drummer and while some athletes choose to  be team players, Mike was more of a lone wolf.  People thought he was a loose cannon and maybe he is. On the podcast Mike tells his story and he has no filter.

    Will Wesson is a 32 year old X- Games Gold Medalist that doesn’t do contests.  He also happens to be the most popular pro skier that you’ve never heard of (if you’re over the age of 35).  Hailing from the East Coast, Will is the quiet athlete in the pioneering webisode series, The Traveling Circus, a show documenting the style and travels of Will and his longtime bff, Andy Parry.  Will made it to the pro ranks the hard way and we talk about his route to internet fame and a long, pro ski career.  He doesn’t do interviews and I believe this is the most he’s talked in his life.

    2:00:   How his trip has been and being quiet

    6:00:  Growing up in NY, XC Ski, and getting into alpine

    Olympic Judge Steele Spence has a storied history in the ski industry.  He was part of the second wave of new school skiers and one who had a knack for greasing the burliest of rails.  His urban game was top notch before most people knew that urban skiing was a thing.  When pro skiing wasn’t an option anymore, Steele moved in-house and designed skis and products for 4FRNT.  The life of a desk jockey was not for Steele and he quickly found himself in a new role, as a judge.  Countless events later, Steele is an Olympic judge and with judging comes criticism.  Listen to the podcast to hear Steel address everything around the scoring at the Olympic Games.
