On The Knuckle Podcast

I'm passionate about snowboarding, and have been for over 20 years. My career has come about through the world of contest snowboarding, and I wanted to share that with the world - so I created the On The Knuckle podcast, hosted by myself and the 2026 Olympic Head Judge Adam Begg.

Admittedly, it's a bit of a nerdy podcast, but each episode we go through every single elite competition and explain the details behind the results: Why did someone qualify for finals ahead of someone else? How come this rider won the event?

It's niche - but it has allowed me to combine my hobbies of snowboarding and content creation.

On The Knuckle is available on all major podcast platforms.
