We’re back... finally. Two months later. We finally hit record after a whirlwind of chaos, half-built shelves, a snow season with more snow than people, and a retail scene that’s more “what’s the cheapest?” than “what’s the best?”
We riff on:
- Where you should spend vs. save on snow gear (boots, boards, bindings—what matters and what doesn’t)
- Why we’re seeing more cheap, big-box gear in places like Bunnings and what that means for skateboarding culture
- The weird economics of snowboarding in 2025, and why the “cost of living crisis” might actually be a “cost of doing cool sh*t” crisis
- Real talk on Afterpay, cheap lift tickets, and why convenience is costing us more than we think
Plus, we dive into the very real frustration of running a retail biz in a world that’s shifting toward Amazon convenience and TikTok attention spans.
It’s raw, it’s real, it’s ranted—but somehow, still full of insight.
If you’ve ever wondered why people will gamble $265 on a lift ticket but won’t spend $30 more for gear that actually lasts, this episode’s gonna hit you right between the goggles.
Hit play and join us for a chaotic but cathartic episode that might just make you laugh, sigh, nod furiously, and question your next online impulse buy.
