Sit down as we dissect some of his gnarliest tricks and get some behind the scenes info on how he made it all go down with hardly any budget. He’s funding portions of these project himself with his job as an engineer and is one of the few who simply needs to be on board. He can’t live without it. Sam is underfunded and under appreciated. Learn all about his thought process and the intense struggles that came with filming this past winter. All this and more on this weeks episode of The Bomb Hole!

You'd be hard pressed to find a snowboarder who wants it more than Madison Blackley. Coming off an incredible performance in Natural Selection, Madison graces us with some insight into how she deals with pressure. A self-proclaimed "expert," Madison talks about some of the challenges trying to make a living as a snowboarder and how the "dark ages" of women's snowboarding challenged women across the industry. She's helped so many women hit their first street spots and is in it for all of the right reasons. Her passion shines through every second of this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

It's hard enough being a professional snowboarder: so imagine how hard it is for Phil Hanse to be a professional snowboarder AND skateboarder. He's a true double threat. A literal ATV. Did he go through a fedora phase? Sure. But he was bullied relentlessly and is now a better person because of it. In all seriousness, Phil Hansen is one of the best to do it and is overflowing with passion. Learn all about Phil being a child prodigy, his hardships, and everything in between on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

In what some are saying is the most banter filled Group Chat ever released, we've reached our highest highs and our lowest lows. Chris and SILK are joined in studio by comedian extraordinaire Stan Leveille, real life cowboy Sam Taxwood, and "professional" photographer Bob Plumb. We dissect the latest and greatest clips such as the halfpipe airbag and the world's first grind on a bridge. Stan brings his own mystery segment. To add a bit of credibility to the mix we also caught up with Marcus Kleveland. We couldn't produce a better show even if we tried. All this and more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole: Group Chat!
