Welcome To Flowing Freeride!
Let's Network.
Hi, I’m Blake Clark, AASI Level 3 Certified Snowboard Instructor with 17 years experience teaching and coaching. We just launched Flowing Freeride Online Snowboard School.
You’re on this page because you're a snow pro, outdoor enthusiast, company, or snowboard ripper, that may be interested in an opportunity to collaborate. Take a look at the info below and let's follow-up soon. Cheers!
My Current Bio and Team
As mentioned above, my name is Blake Clark. I’m a full cert (AASI level 3) snowboard instructor with 17 years experience teaching and coaching. However, I currently work full-time as a producer in corporate TV and part-time as an instructor at Canyon’s (now Park City).
My passion is snowboarding and early in my career I was a sponsored competitor qualifying for nationals and competing in five events: half-pipe, slope style, slalom, giant slalom and boarder X.
I graduated from the University of Utah with two BA degrees in economics and film production and had the honor of completing several months of an urban indie filmmaking intensive with Hollywood director Rob Smidt in Montréal Canada in 2012, my final piece was viewed at the Canadian Film Board. Now, I have a family, and built a career in film work. I’ve had the experience working for American Idol, PBS—Utah’s Bucket List Powder Day, producing environmental documentaries for the State of Utah, and worked on two promotional/educational pieces for Canyon’s Resort.
Flowing Freeride is my passion project we've been building for a few years. We intentionally built the Flowing Freeride brand to stand on it’s own so it can grow larger than just one person or service. I act as head training developer; my partner, Teako designed the business model and marketing; and our friend Brady is a science phd turned online strategist. We also have a couple programmers and an assistant. Oh, and my son demo's for the kids. I started him off at 2.5 years and by 4 he was riding blues!

Pro Collaboration Opportunities!
Why Join Forces?
People and businesses we collaborate will be featured in content with great production quality that will be actively distributed by our team. Increasing their visibility, reach, professionalism and engagement with the snowboard community.
High-quality published content is valuable as it can be viewed over and over by new people for years.
We’re open to interviewing creating original content or having guest bloggers on our site. I can provide original pieces or give interviews on related sites, podcasts, etc. We’re open to brainstorming and coming up with great pieces in both video and articles. We’re actively building our content strategy and engaging the snowboard community online to promote our content.
Throughout the season while I'm teaching people ask me what to buy all the time. They want to know what the new snowboard technology is, where I buy my gear, and where to get deals. I get pro-forms through AASI but if I have something that’s broken and I need to teach tomorrow I need to go to a shop or have something on hand. I can’t wait on pro-form or reps.
In each of my snowboard courses online we do a equipment/gear section. But I’m also building out free content on FFR blog, Facebook, and YouTube channel are product reviews and info on what gear I’m using and recommending throughout the season. We’re actively engaged in building an organic social following and traffic to the site. If you have snowboard gear or a shop you want featured we’ll do an excellent job creating quality content and are open to brainstorming with you. Please reach out to me: flowingfreeride@gmail.com
We’re building a tight network certified snowboard professionals to be an extended contracted part of our team. This team of snow pros will be representatives of Flowing Freeride and may be featured in training courses, on our blog, in social media, and provide movement analysis services for our customers via the virtual pro services. Our end goal is to open up opportunities for snow pros to earn income, support each other, and follow our passion year round instead of just seasonally.
