  • 309. The Pro's Gear: Nikolai Schirmer

    01:11:46||Ep. 309
    Nikolai Schirmer has made quite a name for himself by sometimes sailing to — and then, almost always climbing up — very technical lines, then often flashing those lines at ridiculous speeds on relatively lightweight gear. Today, Niko and Jonathan have the great debate about pin bindings; talk about Niko’s approach to selecting gear; discuss the specific gear he’s currently using the most; when & why he prefers lightweight ski gear, and we end with Niko announcing for the first time in public the name of his new film, which is his biggest project ever.RELATED LINKSGet Yourself Covered: BLISTER+Pre-Order: Our 24/25 Winter Buyer’s GuideTOPICS & TIMES:Niko’s StylePin Bindings (7:49)Light vs Heavy Gear (21:08)Ski Boots (38:29)Boot Quivers (46:09)Ski Quivers (48:23)Niko’s New Film (1:06:16)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicBlister PodcastBikes & Big IdeasCRAFTED

    Today we’ve got another episode of our “Reviewing the Reviewer” series, where we ask our reviewers questions about their backgrounds and gear preferences to give you a more complete picture of the people behind our reviews. In the hot seat is bike reviewer, Zack Henderson, but in addition to mountain biking and gravel riding, Zack is also a snowboarder and a skier, so our conversation is almost equal parts bike, board, and ski talk. Jonathan also starts the episode by remembering our friend and fellow reviewer, Eric Freson.RELATED LINKS:Pre-Order: Our 24/25 Winter Buyer’s GuideBecome a Member: BLISTER+TOPICS & TIMESZack’s background / sports did you play growing up?
