Welcome to the show. In this one, I talked to videographer Gary Milton.

He describes himself as a snowboarder through and through. One who every year has a best day,

a day spent with old friends and new friends and riding powder. It's reminiscent of his upbringing

in Palmer, Alaska, where he and his buddies would explore the surrounding woods and mountains.

They'd snowboard 16 miles, and for their age and their ability, it was filled with huge and

intimidating jumps that had names like the beast and endless. One was a big boulder,

and the other was basically a 20 foot step down jump. The walls in his bedroom became proof

of his love for snowboarding. It was plastered with posters and covers ripped from snowboard

magazines. Years later, when he started filming for the Transworld Snowboard video,

he walked into their office in California and saw so many of the same photos he had on his walls

as a kid. It was a surreal moment that felt like he had somehow manifested a childhood dream.
