Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone who was snowboarding back in the 90s will enjoy my interview with Chris Moran, now live as one-off episode of The Ski Podcast:
https://audioboom.com/posts/7477437-the-ski-podcast-special-chris-moran-interview
We talk about how Chris ended up on the cover of the first ever issue of 'White Lines', about his 18 British titles and some of the less-impressive behaviour of the early-snowboarding scene!

Olympics bit was interesting - particularly the ownership of Team GB

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sports peoples' relations with "The Olympics" are never going to be straight forward, but it is a source of cash.
I can't get hugely wound up about what logos they wear on their gear.
I have a Snowboard UK issue #3 from 1992 - was a bit more down to earth I felt, perhaps because of the size of the sport at the time. TWS ended up as a boy-band fanzine but also started out pretty funky, at least from a UK perspective.

Interesting. I remember Chris and Steve Bailey, who he mentions in the interview, from Ski Rossendale which was a real hotbed of freestyle snowboarding talent around the early 90s. There was some really progressive and impressive stuff going on up there, just not so much from me Thanks for sharing.

Hahaha i hung up my crazy colour combos a few years back and went more earthy colours! I mean look at what's in the Snowboard Shops these days, for example, its all earthy colours and slim fits! No more cool bright colours like the late 90's
