Summary

Bob Legasa is not only a former US Freestyle Team Member, he’s also the only athlete I’ve ever had on the podcast who’s survived a Grizzly Bear attack. Those two things alone can make a podcast good, throw in that Dan is known as the most legendary prankster in skiing and this one is great. On the podcast, we talk about filming for Hot Dog, jumping at the Rose Bowl, Greg Stump, and a lot more.

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.
0:17.1	I'm your host, Mike Powell, and as you're listening to this, I'm most likely sitting on
0:21.6	Rojoboth Beach in Delaware doing absolutely nothing, and that's a big deal because to get
0:26.9	there, I had to do a whole lot. Here's my travel the past couple of days. Thursday, I drove to
0:32.4	Shelton, Washington to drop my dog off with Wayne Grevy. Wayne runs the Northwest Free Ride
0:37.1	program, and he's an all-around great guy who is totally
0:40.1	tied to the ski scene here in the Northwest.
0:42.7	Once I drop Chief Off at Wayne's, then I head down to Seek Skake Camp in Oregon to interview
0:47.6	Bobby Meeks and to pick up my son a couple of days early from camp.
0:51.5	I can guarantee that my son's going to be bummed because when I
0:54.5	texted him to ask how camp was, he said, quote, this is the best place ever, quote. And it really
1:01.0	is. The facilities that seek skate camp are so incredible. The feel to it all has more of a
1:06.4	northwest skate park vibe compared to bunker after bunker of skate parks that you'll find
1:10.6	at other
1:10.9	camps. And while both of those kind of setups are cool, this place just feels way more chill
1:16.2	and way more fun. So I'm going to pick up my kid a couple of days early and he's going to be
1:20.0	bummed, like I said. Then we'll drive four hours back to Seattle. We'll do our laundry. We'll pack
1:25.2	up and then we're out of the house at 8 a.m. the next morning to head to the airport.
1:29.2	And Keaton, myself and Keaton's friend, we get on a plane, and we head to Washington, D.C.
1:34.1	We'll get there at 6 p.m. I'll have drinks with my high school friends at 8 p.m.
