Tanner Hall | The Bomb Hole Episode 44
One of the most influential skiers of his generation talks stem cell injections, pain pills, big wave skiing, his quick rise to fame in the ski world, a decent into dark times, sobriety, glacier camping, comparing ski and snowboard cultures and so much more. At 16 Tanner Hall was kicked out of school and given by his parents one season to prove that he had what it takes to make it in the ski world. During this time he pretty much won every contest he entered and even today still hold’s the second most medals in X Game ski history. What goes up must come down so eventually injuries and fast living lead to substance abuse and dark times. Tanner did the work and found sobriety, his drive and love for the sport helped him to overcome obstacles and now sober he is still pushing himself with contests like X Games real ski and the Free Ride World Tour. Tanner grew up being inspired by snowboarders and was influenced not only by how they ride the mountain but even how they dress compared to the country club attitude of skiing at the time. Join us for this very special episode of The Bomb Hole where we welcome Tanner Hall to the booth breaking down the wall of the old school way of thinking and the us vs. them mentality.Follow Tanner Hall on social mediaInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/tannerhall420/YouTube | @tannerhallakaSkiBoss Show NotesChuck Patterson Skiing Mavericks | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48mQbJVK3kI Tanner Hall 2003 X Games | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZGwwNjmF9E Avalanche Safety | https://avalanche.org/avalanche-education/ Alta Skiers Talking About Snowboarders | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwWDMAEYe5c Tanner's Speach to Henrik Harlaut right before his Nose Butter Triple 1620 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMdzJSFGZOA Lucas Magoon In Rutland | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOxXmWRMwRk Neil Provo Represent | https://vimeo.com/106972401 Tanner Hall Free Ride World Tour | https://www.facebook.com/FreerideWorldTour/videos/175064313764698/ Tanner Hall Chad’s Gap Crash 2005 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eitvXCqe4E Chad’s Gap Redemption | https://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/12-years-after-horrible-crash-tanner-hall-gets-redemption/For all things Bomb HoleWebsite | https://thebombhole.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thebombhole/YouTube | @TheBombHole This episode is sponsored bySalomon Snowboards | https://www.salomon.com/en-us/snowboardWild Mike’s Ultimate Pizza | https://www.wildmikesultimatepizza.comTen Barrel's Pub BeerThe Dew Tour | https://www.dewtour.com/snow/Special thank you to our Patreon Members for making our show possible!

Jill Perkins | Women Snowboarding | The Bomb Hole Episode 35
Jill is the future of women’s snowboarding, we talk rider of the year, coming out as part of the queer community, work ethic, Monster Energy sponsorship and much more. Jill Perkins found snowboarding at what is now considered a late age at 17, but through hard work and commitment was sponsored two years later at 19. Was it natural talent or hard work that earned her a seat at the pro table? She says its hard work and an obsession to push herself is what’s to thank for her quick rise in the ranks of snowboarding. When filming she will literately push herself to the point of exhaustion and take a full body beat down falling until she commits to the trick and get’s the shot she wants. Jill follows the rule that you get back what you put in and worked very hard to get where she is today. If you watch the new snowboard movie Tangle you will see the hard work has paid off as she is pushing women’s street riding to new levels. Join us as we sit down with Jill and talk about what it take’s to become one of snowboardings most prolific riders of today on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
