The Bomb Hole

In this summer edition of The Bomb Hole: Group Chat we sit down with Katie Kennedy, Sam Taxwood and Norm to recap all of the spring events and talk about the importance of events and community. We check out all of the recent heater clips hitting the internet, dive into some product talk, and of course compete in some high stakes trivia. We call Halldor Helgason to hear about the genius behind Creamfest and call Max Warbington to hear about the process behind Brainbowl. All this and more one this week’s episode of Group Chat!

When Juliette Pelchat was a kid she grew up wanting to be on The Bomb Hole… which is pretty crazy because that was just a few years ago. Raised in the mountains by the legendary JF Pelchat, Juliette quickly found snowboarding and excelled. She competed for Team Canada in this past Olympics and is slowly going further and further in the back country. She started all girls skate camp at her local park, lost thousands of dollars buying a truck, is working on an art book, getting her pilots license and so much more. Learn all about Juliette’s past and where she’s headed on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

Most street snowboarders these days have got their eyes on the steel: but not Henna Ikola. She’s got here eyes on roofs (and rails too). Coming all the way from Finland, this child prodigy sharpened her teeth in the contest scene before making the switch to filming video parts. She’s a style god and a fashion icon. She’s battled concussions, had a short lived rap career (pending a comeback), and has a Finnish nickname for everybody. Learn all about Henna on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!

Show notes with links to videos, riders, and more we talk about with Henna on our site!
