The Bomb Hole

Heikki Sorsa is one of the most iconic snowboarders to have ever existed and is single handedly responsible for so many of snowboarding’s most memorable moments. From his legendary mohawk in the 2002 Olympics to setting world record airs and even filming some of our favorite video parts of all time, he is trulli (pun intended) one of the greatest to ever do it. Learn all about Heikki’s upbringing,...

Sometimes the job that lets you snowboard the most isn’t being a professional snowboarder. Chris Coulter got to live that life for years filming with Kingpin Productions and Absinthe Films before transitioning to big mountain riding which ultimately led him to his dream job: guiding. We explore filming street footage in the middle of summer with no snow to dangerous back country scenarios and ever...

Not many people can step away from snowboarding entirely, return, and then make their way to the Olympics. Well, Jake Pates is one of them ones. After battling concussions and their severe side effects he stepped away. After a few years he made his return and not thing we know he’s representing the USA in The Olympics. Since then he’s been galavanting the globe on private jets, replying to some of...

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 pa...

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 h...

When you think of snowboarding you think of Halldor Helgason. You can’t have one without the other. With Icelandic roots Halldor has paved his way through the industry and cemented himself as a cornerstone of the sport. Which is ironic because his snowboarding is about as far away from “sport-like” as it can get. He hit a massive roof gap while wearing a neck brace, invented the “jerk-flip,” and c...
