The Bomb Hole

This week's episode is all about mindset and strength, and this week's guest, Kimmy Fasani, is here to lead by example. In tandem with the release of her new documentary "Butterfly In A Blizzard," Kimmy comes into the studio as a beaming light. And we're ready to follow. She's a ripping snowboarder, a mother, a breast cancer surviver, and a gem of a human. Tune in as she walks us through her rollercoaster of a life and gives us insight and depth like no other. You won't want to miss this one.

In an all new and incredibly action packed episode of Bomb Hole: Group Chat the gang explores some of snowboarding's most complex and intricate topics. We consult with our product expert Joey Fava, I mean J-Stone, about how to pick the right board for you. Seth Huot gives us the much needed inside information on what went down with Volcom. We get a call from Lucas Magoon who just lost part of his finger; it doesn't get more entertaining than that. All this and more on this week's episode of Group Chat!

If we're having a conversation about DIY and initiative it's only fair to mention this week's guest: Ben Poechman. Ben grew up riding on a farm. He built his own features and was forced to look at snowboarding through a unique and creative lens. He continued to use this creative lens as he creative his own videos, filming himself using a selfie stick and a tripod. Today his creativity branches out into all aspects of his life. He's a painter, a stone carver, and a ripping snowboarder. All this and more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

In this week’s installment of Group Chat Chris and Silk sit down with Sam Taxwood, Knut Eliassen and Kelsey Boyer to dissect some of snowboarding’s hot topics. We call Tommy Gemse mid street trip to get some in the field updates. We finally get to the bottom of why rails are sticky sometimes. We dream for a resurgence in boardercross. And most importantly, we make fun of Knut’s head. All this and more on this week’s episode of Bomb Hole Group Chat!

With all this talk about spin to win, halfpipe and the overall current state of snowboarding: there’s nobody better to talk to than a park builder. So we got one of the best, Charles Beckinsale, in studio to educate us all on something we likely take for granted. He gives us a deep dive into what makes the perfect jump. He explains the importance of smaller park features. And he drops some facts about the current state of contest snowboarding and the effort the goes into creating these mind blowing set ups. All this and more in an incredibly interesting and unique episode of The Bomb Hole!

We gathered some of the biggest names in skateboarding for this week's very special episode of The Bomb Hole. Eric Koston, Dashawn Jordan and Ishod Wair join us in studio to discuss some of life's deepest questions such as: who has the greatest kickflip, what exactly are smelling salts, and where does the word "hubba" come from? We get into that and so much more with an unlimited supply of banter in between. You better not miss this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

In what we're claiming to be our most action packed Group Chat yet, we bring you an incredible cast of characters: Travis Rice, Bjorn Leines and Jaylen Hanson. With the banter flowing, we take deep dives where divers haven't yet dared to dive. We pin Travis and Bjorn against each other in ways never done before. Travis Rice somehow seems okay even though Natural Selection continues to be an exponentially growing logistical nightmare. Bjorn Leines says he has a better method than Travis. We explore the recent X-Games events, the winners, the new formats, and the insane moves of Wang Ziyang. We discovered that Jaylen Hanson is smarter and more put together than anybody in the studio was when they were her age. We break down some product, we hear war stories from Chad's Gap and we answer all the questions you submitted on this week's episode of Bomb Hole Group Chat!

In an incredibly interesting and insightful episode of The Bomb Hole, we were blessed to be joined by Colleen Quigley. Her passion for snowboarding and community have helped her pave a unique path through the industry. Navigating the switch from rider to marketing poured gasoline on the fire for Colleen. Figurative gasoline that is, because Colleen now works in marketing over at Patagonia where she passionately helps lead the charge in protecting our planet. She’s a mother, an industry leader, and contains endless knowledge about the culture and community we all know and love. So sit back, relax, and listen up for this special episode of The Bomb Hole!

Ever wonder what six months in federal prison is like? Well, this week’s guest has got you covered. Trevor Jacob is a lifetime snowboarder who found early success in the industry. However, as Trevor evolved, he leaned more into the stunt world. Now, he’s a one of a kind adventurer. He’s backflipped everything there is and spends most of his time surrounded by people like Travis Pastrana where they defy death and bend reality simultaneously. He’s an adrenaline junkie through and through with his most recent stunt landing him in prison. Find out what happened and how he got here on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

We hope you're ready for a debate, because we definitely have one for you. In this episode of Bomb Hole Group Chat we take a deep dive into what goes in to creating products and dissect the differences between smaller and larger brands. We also get some incredible insight from Mark McMorris and Henry Jackson as we quickly approach the 2025 LAAX Open. Lastly, we do a quick recap of our event "Bomb Hole Beat Down" at Loon Mountain with none other than Joey B. All this and more in this episode of Bomb Hole: Group Chat!
