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!

Shannon Dunn-Downing is a pioneer. She was an early halfpipe rider who pushed the limits of women's snowboarding constantly. She was the first American woman to win a snowboarding medal at the Winter Olympics when she took bronze in the halfpipe in 1998. On top of that, she then had the first successfully marketed and supported women's pro model snowboard. She joins us to tell her story and share some insight into how she made such progression possible and everything that happened in-between on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
