The Bomb Hole

When you think of snowboarding you think of Halldor Helgason. You can’t have one without the other. With Icelandic roots Halldor has paved his way through the industry and cemented himself as a cornerstone of the sport. Which is ironic because his snowboarding is about as far away from “sport-like” as it can get. He hit a massive roof gap while wearing a neck brace, invented the “jerk-flip,” and continues to have fun and spread joy on his snowboard all season long. He’s battled depression and severe concussions, started brands, (allegedly) stolen chandeliers and so much more. Learn all about Halldor in this week’s incredible episode of The Bomb Hole!

Yuki Kadono is one of those snowboarders who can make anything look good. A style god. He's filled with passion and you can't help but notice when watching him ride. He's a 2x US Open winner and a former Olympic competitor with the tricks to back it up. After getting kicked off the Japanese National Team (which we definitely will get into) Yuki set his sights on the back country and if you ask us, that's where he was supposed to be all along.

Justin Phipps has been quoted to have some “evil” one footers. And although that may be true, that doesn’t define him. Justin Phipps is a really good street snowboarder. Like insanely good. He has impeccable style and a flavor most will never acquire. He’s a fan of 50-50s and emo music but still drops the A-grade hammers needed to make a satisfying video part. He’s also a part of the band Gap Year, a local SLC emo band. We dissect some clips, some bails, talk about snowboard philosophy and so much more on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
