They thought it wouldn’t last.They thought it was dangerous.They thought snowboarding would die out.In this episode, Dad shows his daughter a real news clip from the early days of snowboarding — when ski resorts were seriously debating banning snowboarders altogether. Commentators warned it was unsafe, reckless, and just a passing fad.As a snowboarder herself, her reaction says it all.From disbelief to laughter, this turns into a hilarious breakdown of how new subcultures get misunderstood — and how wrong people can be when something new challenges the status quo.──────────────────EP #74Follow the chaos:👨 David Smalley: @davidcsmalleyhttps://www.instagram.com/davidcsmalley/reels/👧 Talissa Smalley: @talissasmalley_https://www.instagram.com/talissasmalley_/🌐 https://daughterpod.com💸 Exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/daughterissuesIf you enjoy dad & daughter reactions, cultural throwbacks, and unexpected reveals — subscribe for more.
