Seth Huot | The Bomb Hole Episode 24

Life after being a Pro Snowboarder, filming with Mack Dawg, X-Games Real Snow, what went down on the day Jeremy Jones broke both legs in an avalanche, filming, riding BMX trails, fatherhood and working as Volcom Snow’s global team and marketing manager. Seth Huot is what we call a lifer in snowboarding. After having a long career as a pro snowboarder filming with Mack Dawg production’s he transitioned into a spot on the other side of the lens and took a heavy position with Volcom Snow. We talk with Seth about the transition from being a pro into what life look’s like after pro and what he did to keep his stoke levels high and feed the beast inside that still crave’s the adrenaline and dopamine rush that comes along with the lifestyle. For most pro’s this is a hard time in their life and if they don’t figure it out it will lead to some serious depression. Seth also takes us on a play by play of the day Jeremy Jones broke both his legs in an avalanche. This was a very serious situation and Seth’s story of how he handled it had us at the edge of our seats! Join us as Seth Huot aka The General tells us about all this and more on this week’s episode of the Bomb Hole!

Seth's vibe is the best. That story Jeremy though, holy f***, audiobook quality.

[@TheBombHole]

Yea! It’s a heavy one

[@vladimirjelisavcic3491]

Holy sh*t dude !! What an amazing interview.

[@Olliepopmediahouse]

Seth you are the maaaaan! Thank you for sharing that story in the backcountry. And thank you TheBombHole for this platform you’ve created. BEST THING FOR SNOWBOARDING IN FIVE YEARS!

[@TheBombHole]

❤️🙏🏻 thank you this means the world

[@filmerd]

Man this was literally the MOST captivating interview. So many good bits. 10/10.

[@ryan_chandler]

"baklava or balaclava?" that cracked me up. I feel that

[@TheBombHole]

Hahaha

[@jaredcooper7670]

I think it’s safe to say Seth is, TRUE TO THIS!

[@TheBombHole]

Agreed!!!

[@MTNJOHN]

Damnnnn never caught the Winnebago man love in the intro. Guess “my mind is a piece of shit right now.”

[@TG5OVO]

You guys should start asking everyone what they’re favorite boards they’ve used, get some equipment talk going

[@TheBombHole]

Good call!

[@donalddarko3676]

Everyone thats sponsored aint either havent been on that many other boards or wouldnt be able to say their actual favourites either.

[@griffenchewning6466]

love the gear talk!

[@cheveronLI]

Came here directly after the Jeremy Jones pod, the best surprise to me is all the BMX talk... very special

[@camdean282]

every word of this gold. got me stoked for the season big time there at the end

[@TheBombHole]

Hell yea!

[@alexgrandmaison620]

That was a gooder! This is the kinda of guy you want on your crew in the winter! Good reminder to pick your backcountry partner wisely. Keep ‘em coming boys! Thanks

[@TheBombHole]

❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@sharktooth2888]

I met Dirty G way back in early 2000, I groomed and built parks all over Canada for 25 years... just subscribed, and so cool to have a podcast like this to watch. Stone been around since forever, seen it all. Keep em coming brudda.

[@TheBombHole]

Glad you enjoy !! Thanks a lot!

[@papasfritas187]

I have rewatched this so many times. How can you not be hyped when you are with this guy. I love how he says he is emotional about all this stuff, so fucking real. What a dude. What a fucking dude!

[@Kaiju_Universe385]

This pod is rad. Name that part is universal

[@teluspirate]

Legend... amazing story from Seth.

[@TheBombHole]

Glad you enjoyed! Seth is a legend!

[@tibbytt5503]

Interesting to hear Seth's thoughts on brand loyalty and identity. Coming from a retail background there has always been a view that 'people don't buy what you sell they buy what you stand for'. We are now really seeing snowboard brands pushing that with sustainability and environmental issues. Previously, it had been about buying into the 'lifestyle' that brand wanted to promote. Capita has seemed to nail maintaining its anarchist edge but pivoted to sustainability as all snowboarders know about the environmental credits of the Mothership Factory and the need of that to save our winters.

[@skullmtn8141]

This was god damn eye opening. I'm beyond grateful listenting to the insight you guys bring to this show.

[@TheBombHole]

thanks a lot! glad you enjoy!!!!

[@jeremyhorn9961]

That was the gnarliest story I’ve ever heard. Thank you Bomb Hole and thanks Seth for sharing 🙏

[@TheBombHole]

[@bisco042]

Pat Moore needs to be on!

[@TheBombHole]

[@verifryed]

[@ravyngabardi4088]

Almost through this ep. Effing. Gnarly. Hitting Patreon next.

[@TheBombHole]

Love that!!!❤️🙏🏻

[@THESNOWBOARDPROJECT]

Good show.

[@TheBombHole]

Thanks!!!

[@SmallMTNShredder]

I love all the bmx talk, the bmx community is so much more like the snowboard community than skating. If I pull up to a park on my bike anyone else on a bike instantly becomes the homie but the 40 skaters at the park act like they have nothing in common.

[@TheBombHole]

True!

[@n.h.420]

That's why I skate alone these days..the kids skating these days kinda suck

[@traviskerr5263]

That avy story was intense - so crazy

[@TheBombHole]

❤️❤️

[@carterdrake6220]

completely unrelated but does anyone remember who hit that jump over the huge pile of rocks in Lost in Transition?

[@nikomyorobinson8147]

oh fuck yeah, salomon jumped on it, smart smart smart

[@adambalon9350]

Rad one

[@TheBombHole]

❤️🙏🏻

[@thecatfishchronicles7640]

The fucking legend.

[@Kaiju_Universe385]

Seth!

[@howdyitsdavid]

Dude fuck yeah Tomorrow by Pennywise in the young dudes section of The Garden. I had to leave to go skate this morning or else I would have won this shit. I was like, 30 seconds away from NTVP when I left. haha.

[@ryan_chandler]

"Tossin Carcasses" Imma start saying that. Get Scotty, JOC, Zeb, and Fava on this shiiiet

[@arjanvijselaar534]

Descendents vinyl behind Seth?

[@TheBombHole]

I believe so

[@jordanc9028]

This dude is a total ledge

[@bakeraus]

1:25:25 own up! 1:25:32

[@nickblaney6120]

Stoney budz reminds me of big z from surfs up

[@TheBombHole]

Hahaha

[@dunny1977jd]

He's like a combo of Big Z and chicken Joe.

[@bisco042]

100% JP was and is the MJ!!!

[@TheBombHole]

We agree!

[@carterdrake6220]

If JP is MJ, who are Kobe, Lebron?

[@dawginspace5758]
