The Bomb Hole

You'd be hard pressed to find a snowboarder who wants it more than Madison Blackley. Coming off an incredible performance in Natural Selection, Madison graces us with some insight into how she deals with pressure. A self-proclaimed "expert," Madison talks about some of the challenges trying to make a living as a snowboarder and how the "dark ages" of women's snowboarding challenged women across the industry. She's helped so many women hit their first street spots and is in it for all of the right reasons. Her passion shines through every second of this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!Find show notes with links to videos, riders, and more we talk about with Madison on the siteFollow Madison Madison's InstagramMadison's YouTubeKeep up with the crewChris GrenierPopsTaylor ElliottSILKThis episode is sponsored byPacificoWoodward CopperBubs NaturalsYetiArbor SnowboardsVans SnowboardingNidecker SnowboardsRun Through A WallIkon PassCoal HeadwearMomentous (Use BOMBHOLE at checkout for 35% off)Union Binding CoSAXX UnderwearShady RaysSpecial thank you to our Patreon members for supporting the show!

It's hard enough being a professional snowboarder: so imagine how hard it is for Phil Hanse to be a professional snowboarder AND skateboarder. He's a true double threat. A literal ATV. Did he go through a fedora phase? Sure. But he was bullied relentlessly and is now a better person because of it. In all seriousness, Phil Hansen is one of the best to do it and is overflowing with passion.

In what some are saying is the most banter filled Group Chat ever released, we've reached our highest highs and our lowest lows. Chris and SILK are joined in studio by comedian extraordinaire Stan Leveille, real life cowboy Sam Taxwood, and "professional" photographer Bob Plumb. We dissect the latest and greatest clips such as the halfpipe airbag and the world's first grind on a bridge. Stan brings his own mystery segment. To add a bit of credibility to the mix we also caught up with Marcus Kleveland. We couldn't produce a better show even if we tried.
