This week's guest specializes in floating: something most snowboarders are familiar with. And although Jimmy Wilkins' snowboarding didn't lead him down a path of sponsors, gold medals, and timeless style: his skating did. Jimmy's trick selection favors looking good and proper tricks over higher rotations and sloppiness. He brings a very unique and nostalgic flair to vert skating that we hope never goes away. Tune in and find out why Jimmy Wilkins will quickly become your next favorite vert skater on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
