Thank U Snowboarding - S2 - Ep18 - Duncan Carr

Duncan Carr is and isn't your typical UK snowboarder. He has clocked more dryslope time than probably anyone except absolute lunatics, but kind of never went and did a season, which for a lot of UK riders is the goal. Dripping with style, he held his own in (and won) many competitions, but again, the drive wasn't competitve in itself. There was definitley progression, but not at the expense of style.He worked in snowboard shops, for snowboard distributors, was at every contest, board test and general get together for ever and never lost the love of the shred. Living close to Hemel when it was converted from a dryslope to a fridge didn't help either, making that fix of snowboarding readily available, with a motley crew of friends, among them his long time best mate Joe Rackley.Last year, bad news hit Duncan and his wife, they were both diagnosed with cancer and have been through the eye of a storm... Thankfully, both are clear for now, and his thoughts have turned back to snowboarding, and I for one, can't wait to take some laps with him, to try and get some tips on those frontside spins...If you are affected by anything we talk about on the podcast, you can find help in many places, here are a couple:https://www.macmillan.org.uk/https://cancersupportuk.org/If you want any info about the Brits, you can find it here: https://britssnow.com/As always, we are kindly looked after by The Snowboard Asyum https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/Lizzie and Dan from Burton https://www.burton.com/gb/en/home?regionSelector=trueTom from Transform Gloves https://transformgloves.com/en-gbChris from Canoe Inc for Oakley Goggles https://www.oakley.com/en-gbAnd a shout out to Tom from Volcom https://highdaysltd.com/ Hosted on Acast.
