Mark McMorris

Air Time Podcast - A podcast by jody wachniak - Tuesdays

Undoubtly one of the best to ever strap into a snowboard. Mark McMorris has achieved what most could only dream; winning 17 X-games metals, 2 olympics metals, first boarder to land a triple cork 1440 and well pretty much being able to do any trick he can image. Being born in the middle of nowhere AKA Saskatchewan may be an unlikely place to produce a snowboard prodigy but Mark doesn't really beleive in set backs. In fact he thrives under pressure. He has shown his ability to focus and come back from massive set backs both mentally and physically, again and again. Being the best in the world at any action sport comes at a high cost and Mark has paid the price, with an array of injuries the kid is walking proof of just how powerful the human mind is. Year after year he continues to push not only himself but the entirety of snowboarding. Tune in as we chat about the power of the mind, manifestation, riding for Burton, Jake Burton's passing and the impact he left on him and snowboarding, the importance of video's and video parts, childhood hero's, growing up in Regina, his older brother Craig, giving back, upcoming plans, where he draws inspiration from and much more. Enjoy the show!
