Hailing from a small town close to the rope tows of 2 of Minnesota's finest shred destinations, Benny holds it down for the mid west! Hosting event's like Red Bull's Heavy Metal puts the spot light on the mid west shred scene and thank's to Red Bull really doing it right that spot light makes the mid west look really really good. And yes Benny does shred in these events and yes he has been known to lock down some first place trophy's. Benny also has long riding relationships with powerhouse brands like Capita and Volcom who have booth featured him in Video projects and he is also a founding member of everybody's shred crew The Dustbox. I will link a couple of these movies incase you want too check them out. I will also link the special video projects that Benny has worked with Redbull on. Redbull only collabs with a handful of riders from each sport to make yearly video projects and young Benny is stoked to be on this short list. During any given season you can catch Benny shredding in all the major street contests as well as working to film a video part out in the streets and this year also filming in the Wasatch mountain's of Utah building kickers with his crew. Enjoy the episode and be sure to hit up Benny at his Instagram if you have any questions for him or even just want to say whats up!!!

*** I realize you can't hear Reid's Guest Question but it's too late to fix it. He ask's us about our Finland Trip together and to talk about our haunted Air B and B!!!***

I sat down with Nate a couple years ago and we did a full interview about his origin story and career. You can check this out in Episode 84 of The Bomb Hole Podcast. This episode is not a full interview, instead its a check in with Nate to see what he has been up to since we last talked on air. If you did not catch our first interview and do not know who Nate Bozung is or do not know about he went from being the unofficial 9th member of the forum crew when he was just a young shredder coming out of Alpine Utah. Or how he started a company called Neff with a good friend that led to a hostile buy out putting over 2 million dollars in his hands. The next year plus gets a little blurry as Nate’s life went from zero to 60 in the snap of his fingers as his bank account went from overdrafts and bank fee’s to more money then him or anyone in his tight circle had ever seen. World travel, fake friends, houses, guns, alcohol, drugs, living in a hotel in NYC, LA, Australia, Russians, Greece, South America, personal bindles for everyone, thousands given as tips…. As the stories came out telling of his antics a true legend was born.

What goes up must come down and it did fast and furiously. We all remember seeing the news as a standoff with the police in kimbal Junction was playing out to us. Oh wait is that Nate on the Newsss!!! It was. Thankfully thats all behind him and ended up being very different then the news first portrayed it but it brought the spot light back to Nate and next the info came out that he has spent it all. Something like 2.3 Million spent in shortly over a year. Check out his first interview as he gets into lots of this.

Nate and I sat down and caught up as two friends do when they have not seen each other in a while. He looks amazing as always with his Cowboy Shiek look!! Nate fills me in on things like… not seeing another human after a breakdown for 4 months, surviving off of ramen noodles sent via amazon, making millions, spending millions, riding ton’s of pow, breaking down right where you need to be, making a private ski resort, cutting runs with a chain saw, shredding new run that he made, life in the sticks, picked up for work in a snow cat, making clothing, Bozung Sun Glasses and so much more. It was amazing to see Nate and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did when recording it!!

In High School Young Marco would walk the hall's with a chip on his shoulder. He learned fast you had to look out for number 1 and that was it. Everyone had their own agenda, there was no real reason to say much to others as he walked the halls as the other people had nothing to offer him nor did he have anything say to them in the first place. Inner city life in Denver did not have much to offer kids like him except the lead role in a gang of skateboarder veto's. Each member would eventually get a gun and eventually be in prison. This was a very real path Marco could have went down with a very real reality for him and he was not nieve to this fact.
Thank fully a friend of his approached him and complemented him on his stake board skills saying he is good enough to get sponsored. No one had ever lifted Marco up like this. It was something new and built up a new found confidence. His friend was a Filmer and eventually introduced Marc to snowboarding. He had never seen anything like this. He didn't know anything like this existed and fell in love with snowboarding, he quickly used it as a vehicle to change his surroundings, not only spending more time out of his old city life that would for sure lead to hard times and prison he was now spending his time in the mountains surrounded by rich white skiers "dressed like goobers". He was now getting a full taste of Mountain living, People going out the way to help one another . People seemed to genully care about one another, Marc fully believes his friend Kelly who introduced this to him and gave him the confidence to push himself in the sport was guided by a spiritual hand put in his life for the simple act of steering him away from the bad scene waiting in Denver.

Listen as Marco tell's his story as he goes from inner city life to becoming one of the largest pro's in his time with a unique style that many will argue is the best style our sport has ever seen. Marco showed all kids growing up in cities far from the mountains that it is ossible to break the cycle and change their surroundings and also get up into the mountains and try snowboarding. They did not have to dress like a ski racer they could wear baggie gear and have that same flavor Marco had. Marco opened doors and introduced our sport and culture to other's that were just like Marco, kids that figured the sport was not for them as they had never seen someone like them do it. Until now. Until MFM!!!
