Episode 033: Billy Morgan Part 1 - Risk and Reward

Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 033 of the podcast, I met up with British snowboarder Billy Morgan the week before he headed to Korea to compete for Team GB at his second Olympic Games. Billy is a hugely respected member of the UK snowboarding community, who came up through dryslope and seasons in the classic UK way, but has since transformed himself into a world-renowned snowboarder with a top ten Olympic place in Sochi and at least two world snowboarding firsts to his name Ahead of his second Olympics and on the day Team GB was announced, I headed to Southampton to catch up with Billy to get the story of his life and career in his own words. A great chat this, in which Billy opens up about his hopes for Korea, how he deals with risk and fear, and how he has translated his immense physical talents into one of snowboarding’s most colourful and impressive career. As you’ll hear, Billy is a total one-off, and a unique character. Thanks for taking the time to come on the show during one of the busiest weeks of your life Billy! As usual, thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (www.linguistine.com) for the theme tune.
