Erik Leon | The Bomb Hole Episode 170

Bobby Meeks | The Bomb Hole Episode 169

As someone who has been in the game for a long time and has seen his role in the industry develop over time, we suggest taking notes this episode. Bobby Meeks explains to us the importance of everything in between the snowboarding. Sure, that heel-side pow turn felt nice. But what did you do after that? Who did you talk to? 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!

Elliot Sloan | The Bomb Hole Episode 164
If you grow up in an apartment complex you may dream of having a backyard one day. Well, how about an entire mega-park in your backyard? This week's guest, Elliot Sloan, built that dream from the ground up... literally. We're willing to bet that when Elliot Sloan watched Tony Hawk land the first 900 he never could have guessed that he would one day ride for Birdhouse and be calling Tony Hawk one of his friends. This conversation gives us a glimpse into a mind that is capable of some of the gnarliest tricks skateboarding has to offer. Outside of skateboarding, Elliot has a deep love for music and art and is constantly creating. Join us as we compare skateboarding and snowboarding, talk about the gnarliest injuries in the history of skateboarding, and rip plenty of smelling salts on this weeks episode of The Bomb Hole!
