Always a great conversation to listen to you, and Eric is always a thoughtful person to have a conversation with. Great interview about a writer who put it out there to inform the public about a lost friend, whom influenced the snowboarding world, and will be missed by anyone who knew him.

Hi Matt, it was great listening to this after I had listened to Eric on the FNRad podcast. It was two completely different interviews on the same subject, I loved how your style brought out different ways of explaining the same answers. I pre-ordered the book a few weeks ago and cannot wait to read it.

Having come into snowboarding quite late in life, I am trying to learn as much about the history and culture as I can. I’m sure this book will help massively with this.

Matt, sounds like you both enjoyed that as much as each other! Great episode. Falling into that sub-40 category (just...) I too am guilty of not fully appreciating what Craig Kelly did for snowboarding, so really looking forward to reading this book when I can get my hands on a copy and filling in that blind-spot.

Ha yep there's nothing I like more than that type of snowboarding geek-off. I think the great thing about the way the book portrays Craig is to really make that influence clear and understandable.

A fantastic listen. You could tell that you caught Eric off guard and surprised him that you understood the nuances of his book. My favorite part was the "Roots, Rock, Reggae" story in Iran. Craig was my childhood hero I can't wait to read the book. And it's so important that the younger generation knows what he, and the roots of snowboarding, are all about. It's not all spins and jibs.
