Episode 032: James Stentiford - Thank You Snowboarding

Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com It was second time lucky for episode 032 as I finally wrapped my interview with one of European snowboarding’s great: James Stentiford. For two decades James has been one of Europe’s most respected snowboard pros, both for the longevity of his career, but more importantly for his whole approach to snowboarding and life in general. James has always been somebody with an extremely developed sense of sense, and an almost pathological desire to follow a lifestyle that will give him the freedom to pursue his lifelong sideways passion. It’s an approach to life that has long made one of UK snowboarding’s most quietly influential leaders and in this episode ‘The Silverback’ drops plenty of wisdom and insights. Today, after his professional career is over, James runs Stentiford Snowboarding, guiding snowboarders to their best ever experiences in destinations around the world, and finding another way to pursue the passion that has defined his life. After balling up my first interview with James, I headed to Chamonix in January 2017 for take two, spending three days riding with Stenti, and sitting him down to discuss his life and career. As usual, thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
