With Robot Food claiming it's fame as creators of some of the most iconic and timeless video projects in all of snowboarding, we felt so lucky to have David Benedek in studio this week to provide us with an inside scoop. He's innovative, stylish and definitely scared (or at least he used to be). We talk about the origins of the cheese wedge, bonus features, and many of David's more recent adventures in design. Lastly, arguably and most importantly, we all learn about what sort of CGI technology Mack Dawg and Robot Food used in their films on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

I love that he doesn't recognize the second NTVP song, considering he has a kicker session in AK to it.

OMG YES !!!! I was wondering where David Benedek had gone.... Man thank you. I still listen the Robotfood, Afterbang & Lame movie soundtracks whenever I go ride or run trails. These movies were filled with proper bangers and at the same time made it all about having tons of playful fun while riding with friends. This is revealing of my age but heck if I care Thank you Mr Benedek & Crew !

Stoked we got to talk about the soundtracks to those videos for this interview, hope you enjoy the episode!

"Is it fun? Yeah, I think its great times. I think... I think a lot of times umm. no matter what you do no matter how good or great it is. If you do something a lot you always kind of lose perspective for how good it actually is and um it usually happens when you get hurt and you can't snowboard you realize how fun it actually is. I am having a great time. I am still having as much fun as I did when I started snowboarding." - David Benedek The words that changed my life the first time I watched Afterlame and set me on a path to pursue snowboarding as a lifestyle.

Cannot emphasize enough to watch the Robot Food trilogy and bonus section videos linked in the show notes. Whether it's your first time watching Robot Food or you had note paper with all the bonus feature short cuts tucked in the DVD case the videos are such a great time captures of timeless snowboarding and what went into snowboarding in the early 2000s

@vamgreen Ай бұрын

Maybe my favourite episodes, along with Mikey's. Very modest but also funny. It was great to see someone with a bit more depth beyond snowboarding, someone that's well reflected and conscious. Thanks folks. And thanks David!

@MrIsntitgreat Ай бұрын

It should be acknowledged that Parker was also doing a perfect Cool Boarders video game cruising impression, I’ll call it, during the green screen skit. Perfect impression.

@Drift-Products Ай бұрын

💰 Have to say between the music, editing, and shredding, Robot Food videos are the best. Will always represent the hay-day of snowboarding in our minds.

I love that he gave a shout out to an Austrian legend, Steve Gruber. David Benedek was really pushing technical snowboarding for several years. I love the vibe of all Robots Food films.

Bombhole RTTW Trivia in ten years: "Which ONLY EVER snowboard pro responded to his first ever hit of smelling salt with "Hmmm, this is nice!"?" - David Benedek is the best! The cap construction Salomon Prospect around 2000 felt like it was miles ahead of any board on the market. I had two... I was bummed when they went sidewall. The edge grip on the cap version was off the chain... Great guest, B-Hole! Well done!!

Have been so anxious for this. David is the man, robot food days were so good. I remember seeing him land the first double cork in a pipe, no one spoke of it, was in a magazine too.

We all connected because RF came across as a group of friends having fun. Truly inspiring. Plus the fresh music- so different. I was living with etree when you guys all stayed there to film After bang. So fun to chat with you in the kitchen there, and Jussie’s boots reeked so bad ha ha. Good times.

@ryandellamico9126 Ай бұрын

I Love hearing th OGs talk about how coming on here and vibing in Utah reconnects them to snowboarding. Heard it with JP, now David. That's should speak volumes about what this platform does for snowboarding.

@sandrobreu Ай бұрын

So funny: The Burton two tongues story reminds me of a situation during the Swisspo (Swiss trade show) back then. A Buddy approached an Atlantis board and said deadly serious: «That's the answer to snow.» Nice chat guys! And a great shout-out at the end, David!

I was competing in that Vail Session when David did the double 12. It’s burned into my memory. Insane to see. Can confirm Andreas won that year. Sidebar… when they first opened the course for practice I was behind Andreas and he dropped a bs rodeo 9 first hit. Dude was on another level back then!

Lace the boots just to your ankles, tuck the pant legs behind the tongue, and voilà you for a trend that only lasted a month. It actually came back for a bit with Danny Kass’ double tongue Nike boots
