Summary

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with professional snowboarder Ben Bogart. Ben grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, he played hockey for Bartlett high school, but mainly he snowboarded. Cody has known Ben for most of his life, and has always known him to be a fast learner. So, it wasn’t long after he started snowboarding that he was getting shots in JB Deuce snowboard and skateboard videos in the 90s and early 2000s. He later became a fixture in the Think Thank films. He credits, among others, Jesse Burtner of Think Thank and Sean Genovese of Dinosaurs Will Die snowboards, for always believing in him. Ben's 36 years old now, he’s still snowboarding, still coaching, and still the happy guy he’s always been. For those listeners who grew up during those old Boarderline Alaska snow and skate days, this conversation is a trip down memory lane. If you still recall years of your childhood based on what snowboard videos came out that year, then you’ll be right at home. If you weren’t a part of that time, then all you really need to know is that those days symbolize a period of great adventure and growth in the Alaska snowboard and skateboard scene. And Ben represents how so many kids felt during that time, and how it continues to affect them well into adulthood.
