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!
