FNRad Jim Rippey Interview - Season 8 Episode 23

Send us Fan MailJim Rippey had the best selling pro model in the world for seven years during my favourite era, the early 90’s. As a top Burton pro he filmed with Standard and Mack Dawg and his parts were highly anticipated. He is a World Champion, a US Open Champion, a three time Vans Triple Crown Champion, an Innsbruck Air & Style Champion and has won countless other titles. He’s the first guy to backflip a snowmobile on film. As his career was winding down, he became a chaplain at the X games. Jim Rippey is one of those pro snowboarders that fell off the map and left everyone wondering where did he wind up!? So In this conversation we catch up with Jim and go deep into his snowboarding roots.The Eighth Season of the FnRad Podcast is Presented by VansSocial: https://www.instagram.com/vanscanada/Website: https://www.vans.ca/en-caSponsored by:Wired SnowboardsSocial: https://www.instagram.com/wiredsnowboards/Website: https://wiredsnowboards.comThe Boardroom Snowboard ShopSocial: https://www.instagram.com/boardroomshop/Website: https://boardroomshop.com/store/Anon OpticsSocial: https://www.instagram.com/anonoptics/Website: https://www.burton.com/ca/en/c/anonKen Achenbach Real EstateSocial: https://www.instagram.com/realestateagentinwhistler/Website: http://KenAchenbachRealEstate.comTribute Board Shop in Nelson BC.Social: https://www.instagram.com/tributeboardshop/Website: https://tributeboardshop.caSupport also comes from:DakineSocial: https://www.instagram.com/dakine/Website: https://dakine.comGrouse MountainSocial: https://www.instagram.com/grousemountain/Website: https://www.grousemountain.comMt SeymourSocial: https://www.instagram.com/mtseymour/Website: https://mtseymour.caPro StandardSocial: https://www.instagram.com/prostandard/Website: https://www.prostandard.comVolcom OuterwearSocial: https://www.instagram.com/volcomsnow/Website: https://www.volcom.comBN3THSocial: https://www.instagram.com/bn3thapparel/Website: https://www.bn3th.caTomahawk Indigenous ProductsSocial: https://www.instagram.com/tomahawkindigenousproducts/This Place Is AwesomeSocial: https://www.instagram.com/thisplaceisawesome/Website: https://rentals.thisplaceisawesome.netSupport the showCheck us out at https://www.fnradpodcast.comFNRad 12 is presented by Phantom Helihttps://phantomheli.com/Linestryhttps://linestry.com/FNRad 12 Sponsors:Burton Snowboardshttps://www.burton.comBluebird Coffee Tuning and Rentalshttps://bluebirdsquamish.com/Anon Opticshttps://www.burton.com/en-ca/collections/gogglesThe Pro Standard Step On and Supermatic Quick Releasehttps://www.prostandard.com/products/push-button-quick-release-upgrade-for-step-on-bindingsMint Tourshttps://minttours.com/FNRad 12 SupportPacific Boarderhttps://pacificboarder.com/Mount Seymourhttps://mtseymour.ca/Grouse Mountainhttps://www.grousemountain.com/Cypress Mountainhttps://www.cypressmountain.com/Baldy Mountain Resort in Osoyoos BC...
