Alex Beaulieu-Marchand wasn’t born to be an Olympian. He was one of those core super-grom kids who skied the streets with his older friends. While other future Olympians were focused on adding rotations, ABM was focused on mastering rails, which would become his secret weapon. Through a random series of events, ABM found his way on to the Dew Tour and from there, the contest opened for the kid who liked skiing the streets. On the podcast, we talk urban, contests, not having a win-at-all-costs mentality, and a lot more. Alexi Godbout asks the Inappropriate Questions.
