For episode 034 I welcomed one of snowboarding’s most creative and influential characters onto the show - David Benedek, who for a decade bestrode the global snowboarding scene like a veritable colossus. 

Think of any significant cultural snowboarding development from 1999 to 2008 and chances are Benedek was involved. From the moment he burst onto the scene with a podium at the 1999 Air and Style, his career was one long list of significant milestones, from that classic trio of Robot Film movies, to his ground-breaking double corks, with plenty more in-between.

And then, seemingly at the top of his game. Benedek made the Cantona-esque decision to retire so he could concentrate on his creative ambitions. Since then he has produced the book project Current State, headed to film school, and today makes a living as a renowned and award-winning creative and designer. 

At the end of January 2018 I headed to Munich to catch up with David and have a brilliantly wide-ranging conversation about his snowboarding past and creative present. 

Such a great chat this, with a fascinating, erudite and compelling thinker. Myself and David had a great time catching up and discussing his life and career, and I hope this comes across in the episode. Thanks for coming on the show David, love your work! 

As usual, thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
