Justin Bennee- Episode 1 The Bomb Hole

Nils Podcast Audio Final

This Rider/entrepreneur talks difficult childhood, snowboarding, overcoming adversity and growing his business in his rags to riches success story. Growing up in Massachusetts he had it all, a perfect loving family living in a nice house. In the blink of an eye everything changed when at age 5 his mother was taken from him because of Leukemia. His father was devastated and turned to the bottle to numb the pain, to keep food on the table things around the house started to disappear until there was nothing left and next the house was gone. As his father numbed the pain with alcohol Chris found comfort in activity's like motocross and Snowboarding using them as a form of escape. Snowboarding connected him to people like Scotty Stevens and Chris Grenier, soon he found himself hanging at the snowboarding camps of Mount Hood Oregon pursuing the life of a sponsored snowboarder. Always in need of extra money Chris went to the camps pro sales with a box of sunglasses he had bought in bulk and painstakingly put tiny stickers on that read Dang Shades. Every week at the sale’s they would sell out and he was turning a mean profit. In an effort to sell shades year round he ran a myspace ad with a buy it now button and launched an online business. A real brand was born and Chris was selling Dang Shades direct from his website as well as to a hand picked group of Snowboard shops. Listen to Chris tell his full story of a Snowboarder living the American dream coming from humble beginnings on this weeks episode of The Bomb Hole!!!

Zak Hale | The Bomb Hole Epsiode 4

A life changing spinal Injury, life in a wheel chair, a snowboard career cut short, a ride or die love and finding humor in all of life’s trying situations all the while staying positive. This is the story of Tim Ostler. 
When Tim came crashing to the flat bottom of the Half Pipe he instantly realized something was wrong, he could not move. His body was twisted, not sitting right and what he did not know was his spinal cord was partially severed. In that moment he did know he would never snowboard again. As most people would spiral into a pit of despair and depression Tim took a different approach. Life in a chair was not going to be a death sentence. Instead he was going to be positive and take each challenge as they came and deal with this head on. His high school sweet heart Kellie was by his side and with a love as strong as theirs they were going to get though this together. Tim teaches us the most important thing in life is the people you surround yourself with, from friends to family its all about your relationships. As Tim adjusts to life in a chair he see’s the love from the snowboard community at a whole new level as they rally to do everything they can to help him adjust. He fills the desire to stay active by finding a new passion in a sport called wheel chair rugby aka Murder ball. He marries the love of his life and comes to the conclusion that he is pretty damn good at life in a Chair. Tim shows us how you handle these situations in life is what shapes you and makes you who you are.  Lets navigate Tim’s Bomb Holes and maybe after hearing this story re-evaluate the problems that we all face. Maybe they just aren’t that bad and maybe if we learn from Tim we can get through them and live our life's to the fullest. Welcome to another day at the Bomb Hole!

The duo known as BudDiesel sit’s down with one of snowboarding’s greatest media assets, T bird. He Spent 13 years crafting cover blurbs and writing almost every caption for photos in Snowboarder Magazine. Years of producing insane travel features and riveting interviews with some of our sports greatest personality's. Then picked up a camera locking down imagery for us to drool over, producingcovers and securing the coveted roleof ride snowboard’s staff photographer. He announcesevents along side people like Sal Masekelaand Louie Vito. T bird has been a greatvoice for snowboarding for many years and also happens to be one hell of a funny dude as well as a great husband and father.
