Jeremy Jones & Jonathan Ellsworth revisit the 2010 film, Deeper, that Jeremy calls the most important movie of his snowboarding career — which is saying something, coming from a guy who was named snowboarder of the year 10 times, and a guy who’s starred in over 100 films. But there is no question that DEEPER represents a watershed moment in snowsports films, when riders like Jeremy, Travis Rice, and Xavier De Le Rue are here pushing the limits of what is possible on the steepest slopes. In our conversation, Jeremy lays out what he was trying to do, where he was trying to push skiing and snowboarding, he shares the backstories behind the steepest lines he’s ever ridden, lots of the lessons he learned, and more.

One of the best (and unique) things about snowsports is that, every fall, we get to meet up as a community, go to some theater, and watch together the season’s new ski and snowboard films. So on this episode, we celebrate the start of Ski Movie Season with Drew Petersen. Drew talks about the major impact that ski movie screenings made on him; he names some of his all-time favorite ski movies, he talks about his role today in running the Salomon Quality Ski Time Film Tour, and we offer a sneak peek of some of the films that will be showing, including the latest from Cody Townsend; a great one from The Blank Collective; and more.

There’s no denying that the film Rad is a cult classic. Released in 1986 at the height of BMX popularity, it artfully combines BMX freestyle and BMX racing, with a classic underdog story based on the life of BMX freestyle legend, Eddie Fiola.
Today, Eddie joins Simon Stewart, along with BMX Hall of Famer Jen Zeuner, in a fun conversation about this iconic bike film where we discuss how Eddie got the call to be in the movie; director Hal Needham being a badass; getting knocked out; the terrifying drop into the Helltrack; wearing Lori Loughlin’s pants, plus a whole lot more.

Kevin Costner, bike racer? Yep. American Flyers was released 39 years ago this week, and Costner would go on to make some of the best sports films of all time, including Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, and Tin Cup. So how well does this bike film hold up? How does it compare to the other bike film written by Steve Tesich, Breaking Away? Jonathan and Simon discuss — and also come up with might be their best idea ever for a prequel.

Whether he’s gutting out an ultramarathon, getting himself focused to ski a very techy line, or whether he’s starting conversations about topics that we often avoid, Drew Petersen has gotten very good at going deep. And in his latest film, Feel It All, Drew proves this once again.
I sat down with Drew last week to have a very real, very raw conversation about some of the topics raised in ‘Feel It All’: why each of us ought to evaluate our relationships to running and skiing and other outdoor sports; why we need to consider where we derive our self worth from; and why we all would do well to grow the number of tools in our tool box when it comes to taking care of our own mental health, and better understanding the mental health issues of our friends and family and the people in our communities.

What outdoor sports film has the most star-studded cast of all time? Probably the 2017 mockumentary, ‘Tour de Pharmacy.’ And with the Tour de France starting this Saturday, we thought it was the perfect time to watch and discuss this hilarious, kinda disturbing, completely ludicrous, and very NSFW film.
