Thank U Snowboarding - S3 - Ep13 - Chris Carr
from Thank U Snowboarding
Chris Carr is one of those riders whoo, in the 90's, was living for dryslope riding. A regular at Becton and Hillingdon, as well as a face and contender at any give drylope competition, Chris carved himself a nice little niche in snowboarding. Sponsored by Morrow and Special Blend (two holy grail sponsors) he may not have gone the biggest, but had a distinct and solid style honed from countless hours lapping dendex kickers.Fast forward 30 years, Chris has lived and ridden in the USA, Austria and France, has worked in many different positions in the industry, finding ways to keep his dreams of shredding alive. He zigged to Austria when most of the UK scene was in France, was in Mammoth when the scene over there started popping off, got sponsored by Bud Ice, which for a snowboarder at the time could have been a nail in the coffin, but he took all these experiences and, started a company to act as the go-between between brands who wanted some of snowboarding and actions sports' shine and the core of the industry.It's quite the journey and one Chris is still on as he takes his (nearly grown up) kids to the mountains and pushes himself to stay ahead of them. Its great to see and after 30 years of knowing Chris to say hi to, a pleasure to actually spend some time with someone who is still frothing for the shred.If you want to know more about the Thank U Snowboarding Community Camp in March 26, there are details here: https://thankusnowboarding.wixsite.com/spring2026 or you can email us at [email protected] you are interested in merch, we have T's and Hoodies in all sizes, hit us up at [email protected] are supported by the rad crew at The Snowboard Asylum, and their sale is online now: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/We are also looked after by Dan and Lizzie at Burton https://www.burton.com/gb/en and Tom at High Days for Volcom https://highdaysltd.com/I'd like to take a moment to introduce FourTwenTea, which is delicious tea embibed with CBD oil, which I have been drinking over this summer, just to help keep my brain from overheating.
