TPM Episode 151: Sammy Luebke, Pro Snowboarder

Sammy Luebke was a derelict child prodigy from Alaska who took the snowboard world by storm at a young age.  At 9, he was getting his first video clips, at 15, he was featured in Snowboarder Magazine, he learned from the best filming with Brain Farm, and then he got hurt.  When that happened, Sammy's world changed.  He lost his first sponsor, had his first kid, and got married in his early 20's.  With an uncertain future, Sammy hit the Freeride World Tour and proved that the first part of his career was no fluke.  This 3X FWT World Champion has gone through more than most snowboarders on his way to success.  Sammy Luebke Show Notes: 2:00:  Current Status, email name and growing up in AK 6:00:  Snowboarding, Boarderline Camp, and JB Deuce 10:30:  Growing up fast, divorce and Tahoe culture shock 14:00:  Winning 5 USASA's, Sponsors, and derelict kid   20:00:  Stanley:  Get 30% off site wide with the code powell30 Evo:  The best online experience in action sports with retail to back it up 22:00:  Money, Standard, The Constant Struggle, Travis Rice 30:00:  Attitude, The Storming, injury, and Masters Events 37:00:  Losing sponsors, having a kid, and worry 39:00:  Spy Optic:  Get 20% off on their site Spyoptic.com using the code TPM20 10 Barrel Brewery:  Buy their beers, they support action sports more than anyone The Summit At Snoqualmie:  41:15: Are his days of being a pro over, the change in focus, and injury 59:00:  Inappropriate Questions with Patrick McCarthy
