We only know what we see. Growing up as inner city kids on the east coast, Brian and Omar never saw snowboarding in their peripherals. By some odd chance, Brian found snowboarding through some friends and never looked back. After making a short film and claiming he wanted to bring this back to his people, Omar joined the picture. With the idea of "community first" and the thought of showing a new generation of inner city kids the wonders of the out doors, Hoods To Woods was born. Find out what led them here and where they plan to take things in the future on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!

  • @richguagliardo6736
    This episode makes me love snowboarding even more. Thank you Brian and Omar for what you do and what you bring to these kids. You both are true legends!
  • @griffinedmonds8263
    Brian and Omar rule this is what it is all about. "there is so much more to snowboarding than just actually snowboarding" and "there's room for everyone here". This was an inspiring one to listen to and showed so clearly how our culture and community is strengthened by more voices from a wide range of backgrounds. Thank you BH, thank you H2W, thank you snowboarding 🔥
  • @MattBaker-ko6pc
    Thank you Bomb Hole, this is what it’s all about. HUGE RESPECT to these two epic humans, keep doing what your doing!!
  • @ayadal
    I got on a snowboard for the first time because of an invitation by Dr. Rob Gore and met Brian Paupaw on a bus trip from NYC to Vermont. It was a dark time in my life when I was battling depression, drinking heavily and chasing women to make myself feel better. Snowboarding has changed my life, and is now therapy for me. I am forever grateful for the introduction. Shout out to @siriema22 @hoodstowoods and @kavibrooklyn.
