Show notes

We're not entirely sure what the qualifications are to be nicknamed "Moose Meat" but we assure you Mike Yoshida is more than qualified. From snowboarding down an icy driveway in Alaska to being one of the most beloved photographers in the community, Mike Yoshida has experienced so much that life has to offer. Mike takes a journalistic approach to his photography which helps him find unique and captivating angles and tell a deep and personal story. He was always been eager to learn and experiment has paved his way through the industry with his ingenuity and creativity. His focus on inclusion and visibility for underrepresented communities speaks volumes to his character and the snowboard community is so lucky to have somebody like Mike Yoshida. Also we tried to surprise him by flying in his long-time friend, Jesse Burtner, to co-host and we blew the surprise three times before Jesse even arrived. All that and so much more on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

Bobby Meeks | The Bomb Hole Episode 169 Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

Anybody out there ever been lit on fire and jumped from 80ft in the air into about an 8ft deep pool? Nobody? Oh, well. Seems like it’s still only Bobby Meeks who has that experience checked off the to-do list. Claiming his fame in some of snowboarding’s most prestigious films, this week’s guest gives us a deep dive (pun intended) into what it means to be a snowboarder. 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!

Travis Pastrana | The Bomb Hole Episode 167 Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

How is it possible for somebody to jump out of a plane without a parachute and survive? Well, that's what Travis Pastrana is all about: doing the impossible. With an extremely deep and diverse career, Travis tells us about some of his craziest stories, worst injuries, and greatest achievements. He talks about the importance of building a strong foundation and pursuing passion at all costs. Some might say Travis never grew out of playing with toys from when he was a kid. He just built bigger toys. Sit down, start your engines, and let you jaw drop for this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

Mark Landvik | The Bomb Hole Episode 166 Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

Let's talk about a comeback. Mark Landvik went from filming with the most prestigious film companies and riding some of the most dangerous terrain known to man to experiencing some of the deepest lows possible. Walking away from what was arguably the biggest snowboarding project in history was no easy choice and after listening to his reasons why; it all makes sense. Growing up with the scariest Alaskan peaks in his backyard, Mark Landvik became friends with fear. With a heart of gold and some of the funniest skits in snowboarding history, this multi-faceted and complex individual left an impact only some can dream of. We were left inspired and had a greater understanding of the haman condition after hearing his story and we hope the same for you. Join us as we sit down and dive into one of the most heartfelt comeback stories we've ever heard on this week's episode of the Bomb Hole!

Denver Orr | The Bomb Hole Episode 165 Aug 16, 2023

Show notes

Our best guess is that Denver Orr has transcended reality and lives in an alternate dimension because he is too wise and far too young. With an eager to learn attitude and a deep love for his friends and fellow snowboarders Denver is able to constantly grow and improve not just for himself but for the sake of others as well. His passions runs thick within the snowboard community and we recommend keeping your eyes on this man because he's prepared to make a name for himself. His views on life stem from a place of understanding and compassion and his infectious personality will draw you in and there's nothing you can do to stop it. He's a nerd, he's silly, and he's not taking any of this too seriously because life is short and the word is too big to miss out on. Get ready to broaden your horizons and become a fully fledged member of Denver Orr's unit on this weeks episode of The Bomb Hole!
