Summary
Eric Jackson spent half his life chasing his older brother around, the other half, he's spent chasing powder. There have been highs and a lot of lows, mostly related to injury and sponsors, in Erik’s snowboard career. But like his snowboard style, he powered through everything.

| 0:00.0 | Grab a cigarette and a beer. You ain't going nowhere. Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:12.5 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. I'm your host, Mike Powell, and now that we've broken the 100-episode |
| 0:19.4 | barrier, it's back to business as usual. |
| 0:22.3 | And speaking of business, I used to have a lot more business-related episodes with industry |
| 0:26.6 | insiders on the show. And while I've wanted to post a business episode, I've had so many |
| 0:31.5 | great athlete ones that I've recorded that I didn't want to just sit on it. I wanted you to hear |
| 0:35.8 | them. But if you're a fan of pulling back |
| 0:37.7 | the curtain and seeing what is going on behind the scenes, you'll get a lot more of that in 2019. |
| 0:44.0 | For now, it's Christmas. And while I was not raised on giving Christmas gifts, I think Christmas |
| 0:49.5 | is a way more fun holiday than Hanukkah. But who cares about the holidays? If you're listening, |

| 1:14.3 | A situation like that can ruin the mindset of the injured rider, |
| 1:17.9 | and Eric had to power through all of the bullshit to put himself in a position |
| 1:21.7 | to win awards, film with the best, and travel to shred as much as possible. |
| 1:26.9 | Before we get into it, I want to ask you to |
| 1:29.0 | follow me on Instagram at the Powell Movement. Tell your friends about the show and get off the |
| 1:34.1 | couch and hit the mountain. I'm about to do the same thing as the summit that's Noquami is |
