  • Group Chat #13 with J-Stone, Reid Smith, Nirvana Ortanez, Justin Meyer, Pat McCarthy & more

    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!

  • Mark Sollors | The Bomb Hole Episode 204

    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 | The Bomb Hole Episode 203

    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.

    In celebration of the monumental feat of reaching 200 episodes of The Bomb Hole, hosted by Chris Grenier, we decided it was finally time to interview the man himself. Throughout countless episodes you’ve likely picked up on a few bits and pieces about Chris. He’s sober, a bit of an old head, hates granola and loves to get crunchy. But there’s so much more to this man. We’ve only scratched the surface. Find out who Chris is and how he got to where he is in this very special episode of The Bomb Hole!

  • Raibu Katayama | The Bomb Hole Episode 199

    Raibu Katayama always prefers a huge air over anything else; and if you've seen his riding you'd know that. In an era where competitive snowboarding is known to make most viewers a little dizzy, Raibu is bringing back impeccable style and undeniable flavor. We're talking tweaks, we're talking pokes, we're talking slow McTwists and absolutely massive methods. Having recently switched to more of a back country focus, we can't help but root for him and watch with our jaws on the floor. All this and more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

  • Billy Anderson | The Bomb Hole Episode 198

    No matter his career, Billy Anderson will always be a snowboarder at heart. And if his name doesn't ring a bell, we recommend listening very closely to this episode. It feels like an understatement to say that Billy has played a monumental role in snowboarding's development. He was a driving force behind Volcom: playing a major part in the creation of timeless video projects like "The Garden" and "Escramble", and has always made efforts to nurture local snowboard communities. Helping start and facilitate grassroots events like the legendary Peanut Butter Rail Jam and including grom segments in major video projects are just two examples of how Billy Anderson prioritized the cultivation of a healthy and thriving scene in snowboardings youth, our future pros. Find out how, and why, he did all that he did and so much more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
