It feels like an understatement to say that Billy has played a monumental role in snowboarding's development. He was a driving force behind Volcom: playing a major part in the creation of timeless video projects like "The Garden" and "Escramble", and has always made efforts to nurture local snowboard communities. Helping start and facilitate grassroots events like the legendary Peanut Butter Rail Jam and including grom segments in major video projects are just two examples of how Billy Anderson prioritized the cultivation of a healthy and thriving scene in snowboardings youth, our future pros.

This week's guest specializes in floating: something most snowboarders are familiar with. And although Jimmy Wilkins' snowboarding didn't lead him down a path of sponsors, gold medals, and timeless style: his skating did. Jimmy's trick selection favors looking good and proper tricks over higher rotations and sloppiness. He brings a very unique and nostalgic flair to vert skating that we hope never goes away. Tune in and find out why Jimmy Wilkins will quickly become your next favorite vert skater on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!Follow JimmyInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jimmy_wilkins/Follow Chris, Lizard, and SILKChris Grenier | https://www.instagram.com/grendiesel/Lizard King | https://www.instagram.com/bigbizliz/SILK | https://www.instagram.com/silk.daze/Show Notes:Tony Hawk's Vert AlertTony HawkReal SkateboardsThunder TrucksSpitfire WheelsThrasher Magazine August 2021 CoverThrasher Magazine's Cold Call with JimmyJimmy's Pro Model Lakai ShoeBob BurnquistFor all things Bomb Hole, check the website | https://thebombhole.com/This episode is sponsored byNidecker: https://www.nidecker.com/en/Bubs Naturals: https://www.bubsnaturals.com (Use BOMBHOLE at checkout for 20% off)Turtlebox: https://turtleboxaudio.comSpecial thank you to our Patreon Members for making our show possible!

One thing that we've learned on the show is that when contest snowboarders make the switch to the back country, they can be huge threats. Their fundamentals are exceptional, their work ethic is dialed in, and they're itching exercise some creativity. Mikey Ciccarelli is a prime example of this phenomena. His commitment to style make him one of the most enjoyable snowboarders to watch and let me tell you, his banter is undeniable.

For the first time in Bomb Hole history "Hot Takes" lasted the entire duration of the show. Ben Bilocq is opinionated. Ben Bilocq is direct. Ben Bilocq speaks his mind and for good reason; with well thought out positions on various topics found within the snowboard community, Ben is paving a clear path towards a future in snowboarding that he believes in. He wants lower lips on to rails. He wants tricks done properly. He wants the raise the bar. That might sound scary, and he might just agree with that sentiment, but he also firmly believes that riders should be adequately compensated for the risks they take.

We only know what we see. Growing up as inner city kids on the east coast, Brian and Omar never saw snowboarding in their peripherals. By some odd chance, Brian found snowboarding through some friends and never looked back. After making a short film and claiming he wanted to bring this back to his people, Omar joined the picture. With the idea of "community first" and the thought of showing a new generation of inner city kids the wonders of the out doors, Hoods To Woods was born.
