Jody Wachniak | The Bomb Hole Episode 174
If you're a fan of tweaked grabs, nice pokes, and slow, controlled rotations then this week's episode is a must watch for you. Jody Wachniak thinks that style matters and we have to agree. Coming from snow-mobile royalty, Jody was destined for the back country and somehow can make any trick look good. When he's not filming absolute A-grade bangers with the rest of the Manboys crew, he's been getting his own snowboard podcast off the ground. Watching the AirTime Podcast gain traction makes us all feel hopeful for snowboard media moving forward. So sit down, grab a snack, and hold on while we talk about illegal tricks, stylish grabs, and how the snow-mobile was invented on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!Show Notes:Listen to The Puppet Show on 99.9 KUAA Radio: https://kuaafm.org/Jake Kuzyk: https://www.instagram.com/jakekuzyk/Andrew Geeves: https://www.instagram.com/andrew_geeves/Darrah Reid-McLean: https://www.instagram.com/darrahreidm/Wild Cat's "Lil Bastards": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbNPNpgEkccDevun Walsh: https://www.instagram.com/devwalsh/Follow Jody WachniakInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jodywachniak/Check Out Air Time PodcastYouTube: @airtimepodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/airtime_podcast/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/air-time-podcast/id1459551216Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/45QWgKIHQA62cyUK47AAQi?si=9d6869b7bb014964Keep Up With The ManboysYouTube: @TheManboys Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themanboys/Watch "Tango Echo November": https://youtu.be/2SPONSHRz3cFollow Chris & JeremyChris Grenier: https://www.instagram.com/grendiesel/Jeremy Jones: https://www.instagram.com/jeremy___jones/For all things Bomb HoleWebsite | https://thebombhole.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thebombhole/Listen on Apple Podcast | https://apple.co/3UEm0l5Listen on Spotify | https://sptfy.com/BombHoleSpotifyThis episode is sponsored byIkon Pass: https://www.ikonpass.comCapita: https://capitasnowboarding.comUnion: https://unionbindingcompany.comPub Beer: https://10barrel.com/beer/pub-beer/Oakley: https://www.oakley.com/en-usHippeas: https://hippeas.com (Use BOMBHOLE at checkout for 20% off)Dragon: https://www.dragonalliance.com (Use BOMBHOLE20 at checkout)Special thank you to our Patreon Members for making our show possible!

Mike Hatchett | The Bomb Hole Episode 173
If you've ever made a snowboard video with your friends, just know that this week's guest did it first. When Mike Hatchett switched from making rock climbing films to creating some of the first ever snowboard films, he had no idea the sort of precedent he was creating. Now with what could be considered the largest catalogue of snowboard films under his belt and 30 years in the making, Mike Hatchett has cemented himself in the foundation of snowboard culture. With Standard Films being one of the largest and strongest pillars of snowboard history, and almost two dozen movies in the Totally Board series, chances are you have seen a Mike Hatchett production. So sit back, grab a snack, and take a deep dive with us as we go back through origins of snowboard movies and dissect their greatest moments in front of, and behind, the lens on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!Show Notes:TGR's Flying High Again Trailer | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANVqY3IwVgAMasters of Stone 1 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27KD4GobLvo&t=88sStandard Films' Totally Board 1 (1990) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyOQ15q681s&t=422sFall Line Films' Critical Condition (1991) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzWkTbf4U4YFall Line Films' Riders On The Storm (1992) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noCtoHQYJcwMack Dawg Productions "The Hard, The Hungry, and The Homeless | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDVG4VJJecQStandard Films' Totally Board 2 (1993) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caMiFHbPD2kChugach Mountains | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chugach_MountainsNoah Salasnek | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8YAQSdwvYAParental Advisory Sticker | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_AdvisoryStandard Films' Totally Board 5 (1996) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_W3Vl4prN_I&t=1412sStandard Films' Totally Board 4: Run to the Hills (1995) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtHRsYMNFi4&t=291sJudas Priest - "Solar Angels" | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CI87J4sLMIIntro to Standard Films' "Paradox" (2006) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnNikiJ9iLgStandard Films' "White Balance" (2003) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNVj_LG1AcU&t=426sMack Dawg Productions' "True Life" (2001) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BF8EvJeMuQ&t=487sStandard Films' "Notice to Appear" (2002) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aE7AtF1Hvg&t=486sFollow Standard Films:Website | https://standardfilms.com/YouTube | @StandardFilmsHD YouTube | @StandardFilmsChannel Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/standardfilms/Follow Chris & JeremyChris Grenier: https://www.instagram.com/grendiesel/Jeremy Jones: https://www.instagram.com/jeremy___jones/For all things Bomb HoleWebsite | https://thebombhole.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thebombhole/Listen on Apple Podcast | https://apple.co/3UEm0l5Listen on Spotify | https://sptfy.com/BombHoleSpotifyThis episode is sponsored byIkon Pass: https://www.ikonpass.comBubs Naturals: https://www.bubsnaturals.comCapita: https://capitasnowboarding.comUnion: https://unionbindingcompany.comPub Beer: https://10barrel.com/beer/pub-beer/Oakley: https://www.oakley.com/en-usHippeas: https://hippeas.comWoodward: https://www.woodwardparkcity.comDragon: https://www.dragonalliance.com (Use BOMBHOLE20 at checkout)Special thank you to our Patreon Members for making our show possible!

What did you laugh about? What went wrong along the way? All these questions are how Bobby Meeks has been able to continually find the motivation to pursue and give back to this passion project we call snowboarding. Find out the answers to these questions and so much more on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
