After years of contests and pursuing his dream to be a top pro and make a living snowboarding Nick realized maybe he was just not as good as some of the top level rider’s and thats when he took a different approach trying out split boarding. It turned out he had a real stylish powder turn and with split boarding blowing up brands needed pro’s to represent this category. Everything came together with Nick carving out his own lane snowboarding how he wanted to allowing him to break the norm and go pro in his thirty’s. Join us as we sit down with Nick and learn how a kid from the flat state of Connecticut became a pro snowboarder specializing in split boarding his way to never before ridden line’s and snowboarding in unimaginable destinations like Antarctica, Bolivia, Turkey, India and more all on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole.
