Thank U Snowboarding Podcast - S1 EP7 David Cracknell

If you’re reading this, there’s a pretty good chance you love snowboarding. We do too, so much so that we decided to make a podcast waxing poetic about it. Thank U Snowboarding is a celebration of the UK snowboard scene, a deep dive into its journey from ‘Ban This Killer Craze’ to the mainstream and a nostalgia-fuelled look back at the glory years. Each week we’ll sit down with an influential figure, exploring the past, present and future of the sport and remind ourselves why we leapt headfirst down the snowboarding rabbit hole in the first place.

For Episode 7, host Chris Cracknell sits down with a guest a little closer to home, his brother and UK Stalwart, David Cracknell. Dave rose through the ranks of British snowboarding when it was still just a twinkle in Jeremy Sladen’s eye, living through the ‘glory days’ of the late 90s. Decades after he first strapped in, Dave’s paying it forward and supporting the next generation through his work with Graystone. Listen to Dave’s story from putting down his first turns, to living the seasonaire dream and eventually going full circle and getting his own kids on the hill.
