Jen and Tricia go BTS on the birth of jibbing in Colorado, do recon on an alleged parking lot brawl with the Burton A team, and drop in deep on the early 90s tech that enabled the ultimate tweak. From Trent Bush talking about the death of the “surf turn” to Jason Ford’s tale of the first time he saw Roan Rogers ride, this episode is a spring bouquet of unsolicited (yet highly interesting) information—plus bonus stories from previous episodes.Thanks for listening—it’s been a great ride. Stay tuned as we sprout some new shows for Going Off Season 2.

Why do people say “Craig Kelly is my copilot”?
In historical snowboard time, “B.C.” stands for “Before Craig.” A god-tier talent in snowboarding’s early years, Craig Kelly helped forge the path of style, gear tech, and where riding could go. In this episode, Tricia and Jen examine the legend of CK and why a certain sect of core snowboarders still invoke the line “Craig Kelly is my copilot” 23 years after his death. They regale 2 special heads: Eric Blehm—author of “The Darkest White” and the definitive expert on CK, and Erik Traulsen of FnRad Podcast—a respected curator of many conversations about Craig. The gang dips waist-deep into 3 parts of snowboarding Kelly changed forever: riding style, “pro snowboarder” as a job description, and the world of freeriding and backcountry. Finally, they discuss how even in death, he’s still helping us navigate our path forward.Cover photo: Trevor Graves

Pioneering “Skate Style” Snowboard Art: Jon Boyer & Geoff McFetridge
In 1992, Canadian pro Jon Boyer hired his friend Geoff McFetridge to create some unlike-all-the-other-shit graphics for his new pro-model snowboard on Barfoot. They were loud, expressive and created to hang on the snowboard shop wall. In this episode, Jen and Tricia sit down with Boyer (now an LA director) and McFetridge (now an acclaimed illustrator and artist) to talk about how Boyer’s boards challenged conventional notions of snowboard graphic art—bringing a skate ethos to a surf and ski driven world. They dip into the rise of the pro model age, the very first digitally created board graphic, techniques, inspirations, production fails, and of course—what the piles of royalty cash bought for these two young hooligans from Calgary, Alberta.

Behind the Boned Out Era: Snowboarding in 1990
Once upon a time the colors were freaky, and tuck-knees and tweaks ruled the day. Going Off dives behind the scenes on an iconic 1990 photo of Jason Ford shot by Rod Walker—to learn from one of the masters what it took to be a snowboarder in the Boned Out Era. In this episode, Jen, Tricia and legend Jason Ford talk about how riders were riffing off what the 80s vert skaters were doing—styling out their straight airs and achieving levels of poking and tweaking that have never been seen again in snowboarding. They dip into the equipment of the day, and being on the Burton A team with Craig Kelly and Brushie. After 36 years of gossip and conjecture, Ford finally reveals how he got his tricks so totally boned out.They also tackle what it takes for an image to hold up after 3 decades of progression, and why this era remains so beloved to snowboarders in their ibuprofen-popping years.

Summit County, Vail & the Birth of New School Snowboarding
In the early 90s, 2 counties in Central Colorado became the unlikely breeding ground for a snowboarding style revolution. This is that story, so gather round the fire. Armed with intel from tons of CO OGs, Jen and Tricia trace how the “new school” scenes in Breckenridge and Vail first kicked off. They dive into early jibbing, equipment mods, rider-generated videos, Super Mario Land, big-pantism, Burton’s famous Lucky Strike ad, aspen-tree rainbows, DJ culture and more. They discuss how this movement helped fuel what was one of the biggest reinventions to ever happen in snowboard culture—as the sport’s second gen of pros sought to make it their own.At the end, Ali Goulet—certified snowboard icon and former Vail resident, joins Jen and Tricia to expound on what lured him to Colorado, what went down when he got there, and why everyone moved to Utah when the era ended.Image: 1992 Burton ad featuring Jason Girardi, photo - Justin Hoystenek

Snowboarding’s Olympic Origin Story: Part 2
Snowboarding-wise, the ’98 Nagano Games and 2002’s Salt Lake Games were polar opposites. We went from mocked and misunderstood to celebrated with stadium seating. And it’s in this 4-year window of history that we first earned our identity as one of the most widely watched Olympic sports of all time. In this 2-part series, Tricia and Jen go deep on the hype, the hope and the heartbreak of snowboarding’s first 2 Olympic appearances. Ross Powers, the true Boss of snowboarding and a medal holder in both events (famously leading the U.S. podium sweep in Salt Lake), taps in as our live human expert. Part 2 of the series covers what went down on event day in both Nagano and Salt Lake—from avalanche warnings on course to the backside air seen round the world, from the medals won to ones lost—and how snowboarding was wildly transformed.

Snowboarding’s Olympic Origin Story: Part 1
The Olympics either saved snowboarding or ruined it, depending on who you talk to. We were the first un-Olympic sport to join the Games and had to pave the way for other countercultural movements to become Olympic on their terms. In this 2-part series, Tricia and Jen go deep on the hype, the hope and the heartbreak of snowboarding’s first 2 Olympic appearances: Nagano in 1998 and Salt Lake City in 2002. Ross Powers, the true Boss of snowboarding and a medal holder in both events (famously leading the U.S. podium sweep in Salt Lake), taps in as our live human expert. Part 1 of the series drops into a wild ride on the road to Nagano. Heroic dreams. Snowboarder vs. skier culture wars. Contested qualifications. Olympic uniform foibles. It’s all in a day’s work when you’re going for the gold.
