pThe 404 Podcast has interviewed professional athletes before, but few are as young, or as inspiring, as today’s guest, professional snowboarder a href=”http://www.kevinpearce.com/”Kevin Pearce/a. At only 22 years old, Kevin is already very accomplished, winning back-to-back Arctic Challenge titles in 2007 and 2008, in addition to being the first man to earn two Air Style rings in one season./p

pa href=”http://twitter.com/kevin_pearce”Kevin/a sits down with The 404 Podcast to talk about his snowboarding history and an a href=”http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/outposts/2010/01/snowboarder-kevin-pearce-critical-condition.html”accident earlier this year/a that left him with a traumatic brain injury. Narrowly escaping death with the support of his friends and family, Kevin also tells us that his miraculous recovery wouldn’t have been possible without the help of his brother Adam, who also joins us as Kevin’s unofficial photographer in the studio./p
pKevin’s also here to show off his new line of headphones named after his seven-deep crew of snowboarders called “a href=”http://www.wearefrends.com/”Frends/a.” The group consists of Keir Dillon, Mason Aguirre, Danny Davis, Scotty Lago, Kevin, and Jack and Luke Mitrani, and the current lineup includes five different headphones that range from earbuds to large DJ style cans. In fact, Kevin actually wears a pair with pride on today’s episode./p
