TPM Episode 386: Lucas Foster, Pro Snowboarder, Olympian

While Lucas Foster is not a one-trick pony, when he landed his Alley Oop Double McTwist in the pipe,  his career and his life totally changed forever.  What’s crazy is that Lucas grew up in Telluride, a place without a halfpipe, meaning Lucas came up learning his tricks at contests with barely any practice.  Nowadays, Lucas has all the resources available to up the ante even more as he’s a member of the US Snowboard Team, and at just 24, who knows what he’ll add to his bag of tricks. On the podcast, we talk about his goal of being the GOAT, mentoring from Jason Cannon, contests, coaching, and more. Louie Vito asks “Inappropriate Questions”
