We’ve got a big one today: Mark Sollors is in studio and let me just say he’s a gem of a human. Hailing from Canada, Mark set his sights on being an absolute ATV on the snowboard. His street footage was absolutely insane and he’s put that on the back burned to focus solely on backcountry. It’s a bit of a shame but then you watch some of his footage and you’re like actually this guys on to something here. His passion for style and flavor shines through in his riding and trick selection. He’s paving the way in finding new zones and prioritizes safety above all else in the back country.

Benny Pellegrino knows what snowboarding is all about. His love for the culture bleeds through with every word he says. He comes from skating, with his roots well dispersed through the Bay Area in the early 80s. He loves a good punk show and like many of us, will go crazy if we don't get a board under our feet as often as possible. His experience running Milo Sport gives him a unique perspective on the industry and fuels his passion to support shops. Now, using this experience and perspective, he is a power house over at Nitro Snowboards and he continues to be an essential pillar in the snowboard industry.

Raibu Katayama always prefers a huge air over anything else; and if you've seen his riding you'd know that. In an era where competitive snowboarding is known to make most viewers a little dizzy, Raibu is bringing back impeccable style and undeniable flavor. We're talking tweaks, we're talking pokes, we're talking slow McTwists and absolutely massive methods. Having recently switched to more of a back country focus, we can't help but root for him and watch with our jaws on the floor.

No matter his career, Billy Anderson will always be a snowboarder at heart. And if his name doesn't ring a bell, we recommend listening very closely to this episode. 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.

Long anticipated guest, titan and pioneer of back country snowboarding, Marie-France Roy makes her Bomb Hole debut in our 196th episode and you won't want to miss this one. She takes us back to her childhood and early career where she was not only discouraged from participating in sports like snowboarding and skateboarding, but directly told girls weren't allowed. Lucky for us, she didn't take no for an answer. Continuing her long and heavily accoladed career, MFR blesses us with her infinite wisdom and shares some of her highlight moments. Now, with preservation, activism, and environmentalism at the forefront of her scope, she remains a prominent voice and rider in the snowboard community.

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.

His commitment to style make him one of the most enjoyable snowboarders to watch and let me tell you, his banter is undeniable.
