Today we’ve got a real doozy for you. Sean Miskiman is in studio and he shares some incredible stories. He’s a little newer into the backcountry scene but is making his name known quickly and powerfully. He’s already had to perform some intense rescues and suffered some serious injuries, but that hasn’t slowed him down one bit. His style is perfect and he’s fitting in nicely with the rest of The Manboys crew. We talk insane tricks, gnarly back country stories, and so much more. So let’s just get into it: the Sean Miskiman episode.

In the long awaited, highly anticipated, return of Group Chat, the crew dives into some of the most pertinent and pressing topics in the snowboard world. We talk about the revival of Videograss and their new film: Search Party. We call Todd Richards to talk about halfpipe snowboarding and the return of Morrow Snowboards. We make our guesses as to why Line Skis made a snowboard and figure out what makes a snowboard so expensive. And of course we discuss some of the latest heater clips and answer tons of your viewer submitted questions. Oh, and did we mention everybody is wearing costumes for this? All this and more on episode 13 of The Bomb Hole: Group Chat!

We’ve got a big one today: Mark Sollors is in studio and let me just say he’s a gem of a human. Hailing from Canada, Mark set his sights on being an absolute ATV on the snowboard. His street footage was absolutely insane and he’s put that on the back burned to focus solely on backcountry. It’s a bit of a shame but then you watch some of his footage and you’re like actually this guys on to something here. His passion for style and flavor shines through in his riding and trick selection. He’s paving the way in finding new zones and prioritizes safety above all else in the back country. We have a hell of a chat so let’s just get right into it: the Mark Sollors episode.

Benny Pellegrino knows what snowboarding is all about. His love for the culture bleeds through with every word he says. He comes from skating, with his roots well dispersed through the Bay Area in the early 80s. He loves a good punk show and like many of us, will go crazy if we don't get a board under our feet as often as possible. His experience running Milo Sport gives him a unique perspective on the industry and fuels his passion to support shops. Now, using this experience and perspective, he is a power house over at Nitro Snowboards and he continues to be an essential pillar in the snowboard industry. All this and much more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

There’s no need to overcomplicate things. Lolo rips. It’s just the truth. And just like her, we’re going to tell it to you how it is. She’s blunt. She’s fearless. She’s got high expectations and boy can she take a slam. Lolo’s been paving her way through the snowboard scene without looking back and is here to stay. Filming incredible street parts and coming off a heater of a video project “Buster,” it sounds like she’s sitting on some footy. So keep your eyes peeled.
