    Probably my favorite episode yet.
    I wasn’t able to board for about 5 years due to a severe head injury. I am finally cleared this season and my dad and I are taking a trip to Canada to celebrate. That go pro would sure be nice to have 😉😉😉
    In all seriousness this podcast helped a lot during my recovery, so thank you!!

    Thank you Selema and Bomb Hole for this listen - blown away! Everyone needs to take sometime to hear this, Inspo, knowledge, laughs, insight, history, motivation!

    "Learning how to fucking fall down and get back up, that changes your life" Hard to say it better than that. The voice of my childhood is truly a voice for our culture. We all know that Selema's face will also be on the mountain range of snowboarding's Rushmore. One of the top episodes so far hands down. Thanks Bombhole and Selema

    Bought my son a trumpet to learn to play just because of my love for Hugh Masekela. Respect. RIP legend.

    One of my favorite humans, i've never met. Love his perspective on life. Great episode guys.

  • @TinaMB85

    Every time he does a podcast or interview like this I’m always amazed. I remember growing up watching him commentating and even the Daily 10. The stories about his dad, about his life, his views and knowledge about really anything. Just who he is in general-just wow. One person I’d love to meet and have a conversation like this. Truly a legend and in a class all of his own 🔥❤️

    Multiple times I thought 'this is the best ep yet' and then it gets better. Wow! I think Sal's story is also interesting and accessible for those outside of our world too. The good here comes from his reflection and the advice to move from tolerance to acceptance to embrace. As with all Eps I wish the lads dug a bit deeper into what's not yet or implied, sometimes I yearn for the gossip and name dropping or controversy, but other times there are just conflicting stories that need clearing like how Sal got over the pain of not seeing his dad for years as a kid to go on and idolise him. Thanks Sal, thanks bombhole.

    I came here from the People's Party and man this is gold. His immitation of bra Hugh's voice is spot on. Much respect from SA to Selema.

  • @benoitarseneau1428
    @benoitarseneau1428 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I need to come clean after watching this: I tought he was an outsider hired by ESPN. I was wrong. This was a great podcast. Keep the older dogs coming in the booth, they have great stories to tell.

  • @mmn910
    @mmn910 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Fantastic episode. One of the best so far. One quick look at some of the comments on this video proves Selema's point on the state of structural racism and prejudice in this country. Some people just can't handle their world view being turned upside down. As his father Hugh would say, it's sad. On a separate but related note, I want to know who that shaper is and the man who hassled him at the beach. They'll never get a cent from me. Lastly, apparently people don't like Ipod... I'm curious if there's more to that story.

    I remember watching you as a kid Selema and honestly thought you had a twin brother, one that did purely x games skateboarding and the other that did x games snowboarding. It blew my mind that one person could be so well versed to be in both industries! I'd love the gopro to get videos of my son about to go to his first mountain this season. Love you always bombhole!

    Great episode fellas! Could listen to him tell stories for ever. We're spectating the first Frozen Rush at Sunday River Maine. Sal's walking by up the slope and I yell out "Sal! We got a Doobie!" He looks over and grins like what's up and keeps moving. My buddies and I still laugh about it.

    Bang-on with Grendy making the Doc Emrick comparison with Selema. Growing up watching X-Games, Selema MADE IT what it was to me. Any broadcast becomes 1000% more legit when Selema is on the team.

    Super episode with Selema! Such an icon and a pleasure to listen to his voice. When he’s commentating it just feels like he’s saying whatever he really feels and just lets it out. Would have liked to have heard Selema’s take on Terje, being on Burton’s Board and all and representing the culture of snowboarding.

    What a legend! I could use the GoPro to document and either confirm/deny the shade that gets thrown at CO from the snowboard community, as I'm moving from the Tahoe area to Rado in the next few months.

  • @edsonfranca8763
    @edsonfranca8763 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Because I’m somewhat new to snowboarding even though… I first snowboarded when I was 16 at wilmot mountain WI the closest to Chicago.. got back into it after as an Adult … because adults have to make money.. so it helped me get into bigger mountain riding like Utah and Colorado.. but unfortunately I still can’t afford to take trips more often. Till I’m able to move somewhere close to a nice mountain.
    So why I think I deserve a Go pro. Because I’m also Brazilian an Afro Latino… so my goal is to have a platform for my videos ( obv TH-cam) to showcase my progress as 30yr old transitioning from skateboarding to snowboarding ( skating can be a bit more physically demanding and adults have to work so I want to prevent getting hurt as much as possible) and as Salema was talking about it… wanting to give more access to people. I’m front the east coast of Brazil. I’ve never surfed but I love snowboarding. anybody can do this..
    I grew up skateboarding but when living in the United States I grew up around black American kids and I was called white boy for doing the thing I liked. Nothing is wrong with being white off course. but I’m proud of all my Mut/Africaness roots and I like to express that in anything I do …
    I’ll love skateboarding till the death of me
    But snowboarding is what brings me peace and helps me feel so alive..
    I’m sure I’m late for the giveaway … but it still felt t good to say the things I did.

    Heck of a show. Selema is such a legend in action sports - so many great moments in this episode (name change, imitating his dad). Pivoting for a shameless ask: I’d love that GoPro because we’re taking our first family snowboarding trip to Utah in Feb. Would love to be charging with our munchkins getting footy!

    Selema, I hope you come back to Salt Lake so I can yell your name in the lift line. Thanks for everything you've brought to action sports.
    ALSO, it took me until right now to realize Hugh Masekela released the song Riot, which Earl Sweatshirt sampled and led me to the original probably a year ago. It's an awesome song and now I'll think of this dynamic father-son duo when I hear it. Much love.

    great show with Selema, I have always wondered about his past and evolution in snowboarding.... So sick is Dads journey and him taking all that in. I love listening to fela kuti and that time, gets me thinking... I wonder if I heard his dads work and have no idea. Talking gopro 10.... love to be a hero that could make marty stouffer "wild america" movies about finding Jeff goldblum in the new studio, buzzing around landing on faces, cans, and lenses. long live Goldblum.

    What an incredible episode! I'm now pretty hooked on Alekesam! I think I should have a Gopro 10 because I started a youtube channel this year and just dropped 2K on camera repairs so I am currently out of commish. Thanks for creating such an incredible podcast Chris and E-Stone!

  • @andrewstoye5081
    @andrewstoye5081 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Man, I've never actually had a GoPro, and getting one from y'all would be legendary. I watch every episode at work as soon as it drops, and love what you guys have done for the industry, so you know I would have to flex on all my homies when we ride that the Bomhole plugged the camera! I would be beyond stoked and honored. I have a little Garmin action cam from like 5 years ago but it's getting so old now that is just doesn't hold up to today's standards, so I don't feel motivated to use it anymore :( Would love to be able to donate that camera or something once it's replaced
    Peace and love boys!

  • @stuartadams3127
    @stuartadams3127 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a yoga teacher who snowboards, I believe the perfect stance for each rider should be individual and unique. Depending on the orientation of your hip sockets, torsion and length of your upper and lower leg bones etc This will ultimately determine the Goldie Locks position of where the riders toes are pointed and how wide the stance is for it to be just right and most responsive.
    Definitely going to need a GOPRO 10 to make an instructional video on this!

  • @benbarbey5054
    @benbarbey5054 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you Selema and Bomb Hole for another killer episode. Incredible to hear his stories and remember the times watching XGames when I was younger. I would love to have one of those new GoPros to stack some footy on the hill this season and get some clips racing autocross or on scenic drives next summer.

  • @jennimeskus3915
    @jennimeskus3915 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great work as always! The Bombhole is all the things I love about snowboarding culture. Ps. that GoPro would make a great addition to my trips in the backcountry with my gals. It's not just about those big turns in pow but also learning together and it would be great have a way document our journeys together.

My Go Pro and all my sd cards burned in my house so we're out an 8 already, let alone my big camera. We have a bit from last year but a 10 old be amazing with the iso and low light let alone cloud accessible! Thanks bomb hole. Thanks Selema for spreading the truth, Love!

    First off I am a big fan of Selema, it was really cool to hear his story. I have really taken it for granted seeing him be the voice of the xgames for all these years, it was cool to see the person he is. Also I think I should have the Go Pro because my wife and I are having twins boys in January, we also have a 2 year old daughter, having the go pro would give us the ability to capture a lot of the stuff we get up to to create memory's for the kids. Also I already have a snowboard for my daughter, she loves to be pulled around the house on it, its gonna snow any day now and I am looking forward to playing with her in the snow on it!

We are making Eco friendly wax in the kitchen and tuning boards and skis out of the garage. We haven't had the chance to stack footy yet. But would love to get out and get after it this season. Oh and if you're ever in Park City and need a fresh tune halla atch ya boy. First ones on the house for you guys.
