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.

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.

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.

Now that he has moved on to commercial work, his continues to create and document with his ow unique vision.

And question we have all had in the back of our minds: what is the correct way to push on a snowboard? We don't find the answer, and we're not sure we ever will.
