Show notes

In this week’s episode of Group Chat we’ve combined our collective remaining brain cells to provide you with a thorough guide to surviving premiere season. On top of that, we rounded up the Videograss crew to discuss their latest offering: “Lifeform” and we invited Mia Lambson to discuss the digital release of “Wayward.” Arguably of most importance: we built a penalty box. Check it out on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole: Group Chat

Riley Johnson (aka Mids4TheKids) | The Bomb Hole 262 Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

In snowboarding we often see a “tradition” route for becoming a pro: the contest to video part pipeline. Riley Johnson aka Mids4TheKids is not taking that approach. He’s been posting some of the most impressive snowboarding clips on Instagram and riding at Hyland Hills. That’s about it; and his riding speaks for itself. Learn all about Mids4TheKids and how he’s able to do the tricks he does on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

Wille Yli-Luoma | The Bomb Hole Episode 260 Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Wille Yli-Luoma is one of those very few professional snowboarders to have been riding at their prime during what many consider the golden age of snowboarding. He was part of the Forum 8, moved on to film with Robot Food, and eventually made is way to filming with Volcom in one of our favorite videos of all time: Escramble. He was part of the Finnish invasion and left a stamp on snowboarding that will last for as long as we value style (forever). Learn all about Wille's time snowboarding and what his life looks like now as the owner and founder of Heart Roasters Coffee won this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
