Peter Mehrhof was an early part of the "New School" ski movement but in the long run, Peter cared more about school than being a pro skier. Coming up in Mammoth, Peter was champion water skier and a fast ski racer who eventually made a pivot to the park and pipe and in no time was on the K2 Factory Team. And then Pete chose college and disappeared form skiing, only to resurface behind a boat and a desk in the world of wakeboarding. It's a cool story of a pioneer and engineer. Don Wallace asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Damon Iwanaga was born to race flat track motorcycles, just like his dad. Eventually, he graduated to moto and his life path was set, he was going to turn pro and dominate the world of Supercross. That dream doesn’t work out for many people and Damon eventually found himself in community college figuring out life. But a move to Tahoe and a pivot to mountain bikes sent Damon’s life on a new trail. On the podcast we talk growing up with Tyler Bereman, moto, mtb, events, the cannabis connection and much more.

Kimmy Fasani is a trailblazing snowboarder who, not by choice, made a huge difference in women’s sports. Kimmy went from “Rider of the Year” to becoming a mom and when we last podcasted, the theme was, “will my sponsors stick by me?”. They did, but really, keeping sponsors is the last of Kimmy’s life worries. Between losing her parents to cancer, to having cancer, to so many other things, Kimmy’s life is not close to as easy as it looks and this podcast and her movie “Butterfly in a Blizzard” give a real look into what it’s like to have the best of times and the worst of times. It’s a heavy podcast and Sherry McConkey asks the Inappropriate Questions.
