Summary
Jason Borgstede is an OG snowboarder who did everything in snowboarding minus having a pro model. While that's a bummer, Jason is an X-Games Gold Medalist, he filmed with Mack Dawg, and he rode for the biggest brands in the sport…he did so much over his career that this is a two-parter. Jason wears his heart on his sleeve and in part 1, we talk about poker, living all over, finding skate and snow, sponsorship letters, getting on the Burton Factory Team, and much more. Mark Sullivan and Mike Arzt ask the Inappropriate Questions

| 0:00.0 | Have a seat on your porcelain throne. |
| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:16.9 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and I'm currently sitting at my computer watching the natural selection event. |
| 0:22.3 | Man, Travis Rice and crew once again put on the best live event in snow. |
| 0:27.1 | Everything about this event is amazing for the riders, and more importantly, it's just as amazing for the viewers at home. |
| 0:33.1 | This is the best live-streamed event I've ever seen, and each one keeps getting better. Props to everyone |
| 0:39.0 | involved, but especially Todd Richards and Mary Walsh. While everyone is giving great insight, |
| 0:44.2 | I feel these two are carrying the broadcast and it's awesome. And in terms of the writing, |
| 0:48.7 | all the writers are so talented, but Travis Rice, that dude is a Michael Jordan level talent, |
| 0:53.5 | who seemingly pays attention to every detail of the production, and then he goes out and he outrides the field. |
| 0:59.6 | The event isn't over yet, but I'm willing to bet that if it comes down to one final run and the pressure is on Travis Rice, like it was a couple events ago, he will deliver. |

| 1:17.5 | and the whole natural selection crew, there is nothing like your event. It would be freaking |
| 1:22.2 | incredible to include skiing in the future, as I don't think there's a skier right now that |
| 1:26.4 | can pull something like this off. But you know what? I doubt you will ever include skiing in the future as I don't think there's a skier right now that can pull something like this off but you know what I doubt you will ever include skiing in |
| 1:30.1 | your event and I don't hold that against you I mean I can't imagine what it costs |
| 1:34.1 | to pull something like this off and when things are expensive it's important to |
| 1:37.8 | have a dude like Travis at the head of everything speaking of expensive this is |
| 1:42.2 | like the most expensive week of my year or or of my life almost it feels like. |
