OG pro snowboarders Tricia Byrnes and Jennifer Sherowski are going deep into the history of snowboarding with their new podcast Going Off.
As the early days of snowboarding begin to slide into the long past, Going Off documents its oral history. We trace back what made it so strange and explosive, why it changed all those lives and still bonds people for life. From the history of snowboard fashion to how halfpipes were born, from the birth of jibbing to pivotal movies, music and magazines, each episode drops in on a new topic.
