• TPM Episode 414: Georgia Astle, Pro Mountain Biker
    Dec 23 2024

    Georgia Astle wasn’t really into biking as a kid; she was a hockey player. By the time high school came around, Georgia found a passion for mountain biking. In the following years she made a name for herself racing but these days, Georgia has transitioned from the race side of things to the big mountain Rampage style riding that’s she’s now for. On the podcast, we talk about growing up in Whistler, finding biking, sponsorship, gender, Rampage, and much more.

  • TPM Episode 412: McKenna Peterson, Pro Skier, Commercial Fishing Captain
    Dec 9 2024

    McKenna Peterson is a pro skier, that’s rad, but being the captain of the Atlantis and an Alaskan Commercial Fisherman is what separates her badassery from the rest of the pro ski world. Born into a ski bum family, McKenna had early Olympic dreams, but racing never materialized for her. Neither did big mountain contests, but they helped McKenna find her tribe, and she was able to parlay that into a 15-year career of pro skiing in the winter and Captain in the summer. On the podcast, we talk Sun Valley, racing, partying, opportunities, Crazy Karl, and so much more. Amie Engerbretson asks the ‘Inappropriate Questions’.

  • TPM Episode 410: Branden Steineckert, Drummer, Rancid, The Used
    Nov 25 2024

    Branden Steineckert was a founding member of The Used and the driving force behind the band until the guitarist kicked him out for being sober in 2006. While that could crush a man, Branden dove onto wakesurfing for a couple of months and came out the other side as the drummer for Rancid, which has been his job for the past 18 years. While that’s worthy of its own podcast, we spend a lot of time talking about his heavy childhood in Utah and using skateboarding as an escape. On the podcast, we talk about Ken Block, Tony Hawk, music, his Ghost Pickleball brand, and much more.

    Branden Steineckert Show Notes:
