For the first time in Bomb Hole history "Hot Takes" lasted the entire duration of the show. Ben Bilocq is opinionated. Ben Bilocq is direct. Ben Bilocq speaks his mind and for good reason; with well thought out positions on various topics found within the snowboard community, Ben is paving a clear path towards a future in snowboarding that he believes in. He wants lower lips on to rails. He wants tricks done properly. He wants the raise the bar. That might sound scary, and he might just agree with that sentiment, but he also firmly believes that riders should be adequately compensated for the risks they take. Find out all of Ben's hot takes on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
