Sammy Carlson, Freeski Innovator and Backcountry Pioneer - UNLEASHED Podcast E120

Sit down with a freeski legend who blazed his own trail all the way into the uncharted backcountry! UNLEASHED welcomes Monster Energy team rider Sammy Carlson, a former ‘child prodigy’ who pushed the boundaries of competitive freestyle ski before finding his true calling.
Learn about the unique pro freeski journey of the 32-year-old from Tigard, Oregon, who inspired an entire generation of freestyle skiers to venture off the beaten path. Only on UNLEASHED with our hosts, The Dingo and Danny!
Carlson barged into the spotlight as a rookie at the mere age of 15 and crushed freeski competitions with moves like his invention, the switch triple rodeo 1260. After an accomplished career, including X Games gold in Freeski Slopestyle in 2011, he hit a hard pause on riding contests. What’s more, Carlson even turned down a spot in the Winter Olympics in favor of filming video parts in the wilderness! Although that means waking up before sunrise, endless preparation and the occasional skunk attack…
Learn the ins and outs of backcountry freeski with the rider who put it on the map: Sammy Carlson on Episode 20 of the UNLEASHED with The Dingo and Danny Podcast.

Imagine dropping Sammy for pursuing something he's passionate about. His video parts since leaving the competition scene have been nothing short of incredible. The lines at the end of Resilience are some of the most beautiful skiing ever put to video.
