Let’s talk about a comeback. Mark Landvik went from filming with the most prestigious film companies and riding some of the most dangerous terrain known to man to experiencing some of the deepest lows possible. Walking away from what was arguably the biggest snowboarding project in history was no easy choice and after listening to his reasons why; it all makes sense. Growing up with the scariest Alaskan peaks in his backyard, Mark Landvik became friends with fear. With a heart of gold and some of the funniest skits in snowboarding history, this multi-faceted and complex individual left an impact only some can dream of. We were left inspired and had a greater understanding of the haman condition after hearing his story and we hope the same for you. Join us as we sit down and dive into one of the most heartfelt comeback stories we’ve ever heard on this week’s episode of the Bomb Hole!

Dudes a legend, spot on about alcohol as well. So excepted, yet such a downfall for so many people.
Ledge
Thank you for this, all time episode..🤙🖤💜❤️
What a fucking legend !!!!!
Haven’t even watched the first 10 minutes yet but I am super stoked. These are two of my favourite style shredders.
….I’ll keep you posted
One of my favorite boarders and fun makers of all time! Always inspiring to go boarding and laugh! Thanks Mark!
1:40:00 in so far, so good. Got me tearin up
Juneau Boyz in the MFn Hizzzouse !
So rad, love this episode! Getting to know Lando in Juneau back in the early 2000’s this is such a great episode!
Jones=🐐
MARK'S BAD FKN ASS. LOVED HANGING OUT WITH THE TEAM YEARS AGO
I used to Manage Ground Zero board shops in Sandpoint Idaho…. Amazon Ruined the industry. They made it not possible to keep the doors open at all unless you just have a Money pit for the bills when no one buys products.
Lando! Legend!!!!!
Lando’s stoke gets me hyped to ride. Loved his antics in That’s It That’s All. I remember inviting all the dudes over and watching it like a video premiering in my parents basement. Shit was so fucking rad. We were screaming at the tv. Lando was a huge influence on my snowboarding today 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Mark, thank you so much for sharing your mental health journey on this podcast. Truly helpful and inspiring.
Terje never gets an airhorn. Why?
Took a couple days but I watched every minute. T.I.T.A.
Thank you.
Been here in Juneau since the 80’s. It was a lot of fun watching Lando and a ton of other talented riders when they were growing up.
Such a G! Great impact on the BHam scene and always super nice if you ran into him around town in the summer. Needs more skate clips but ooowee the snow clips will do.
Just wow! Thank you for sharing your journey. I see myself soo much in your story. exept for being a true legend in snowboarding. Been self medicating with soo much shit all my life and every time i try to stop I end up in what you describing. Inspired to have a go with my demons once again now. Thank you!
And thank you Bombhole for keeping it real like this.
Sick one, guys!! 👏👏👏
Solid dude and props on the Brain Health.
Thanks Mark. Just talking about this stuff has helped a lot of people myself included! Shits not easy to deal with
Great episode. Lib Tech is really the only big brand left in the business that you can morally support, plus their gear is the shit
Skit Character:
“They call me Naughty Rotty cuz I’m a BAAD DOGG”
tough conversations about mental health are needed more than ever. thanks for this!!
❤️
This is a heavy one guys. I’ve listened to most of your conversations because they are as close to the real life of snowboarding that the internet has to offer. But more so about life, addiction, what is healthy, and what is not. I can’t share my story in a comment obviously, but I can say that you guys have put together the beat fucking podcast channel that I’ve ever come across. Thank you Mark for sharing the nooks and crannies of your story so calmly and lovingly. Thank you bombhole for the stage and the work to make this available. 💙🏔️☀️
Thank you Mark 🙌💙
This episode is absolutely ESSENTIAL for anyone in the snowboard industry to see/ watch. Thank you. We are sitting here tearing up because Mark is describing what we went through as a couple getting the hubby balanced out after a LIFETIME of being in the snowboard industry and honestly having no clue how far he had gotten with his alcoholism. We have been through it. To the depths that you describe Mark. Cheers to you, your recovery, your honesty. Thank you from the depths. 🤙
Great episode boys. Came out with tons of respect and appreciation for Mark’s journey.
Talking methods and not mentioning Chris Roach? Children, please! 😂
respekt thank you
Incredible Interview Lando! REALLY insightful and didn't see that coming what you covered. Respect from Australia mate! PS .. that method was all time!
“I don’t even know their names but those Japanese kids in the pipe” – me every time I talk about Olympic snowboarding
Mark also has the hardest part drop in AoF ghosts n stuff
Oh Gaaawd, Even though I was basically a 16 y/o GROM when TiTa Came out at Salty Peaks on ( as T-Rice would say.. ) "E-VDV".. (DVD). I literally youtubed that's it thats all, and almost started crying with all of the emotions rolling back. LOVE YOU LANDO
First off, Lando…what a fucking LEGEND!!! Second, I'm a HUGE moto fan, would even say more than a snowboarding fan even tho snowboarding has been my LIFE since I was in the 4th grade (now 33 years old), and for YEARS I've been saying (think i may of even made a comment like this on Bereman's episode) that to me, there are TWO tricks that are not only TIMELESS, but also the "easiest" tricks but also the HARDEST tricks!! And that's Method's and Whip's!!! Just about anyone who does either sport can do one, but VERY few can make jaws drop when done right!!! I've always called Method's "Winter Whip's" and Whip's "Mechanical Method's". When done right, I don't give a fuck, there is NOTHING that competes with them!!! I'll take a Method (or back 1) over any triple/quad cork and I'll take Whips over flips ANY day!!! So with all of that being said, my opinion, Lando and Lynn HAND"S DOWN BEST methods!!! Best SWITCH Methods, Danny D in the pipe and Lando off booter's!!!! I can't even wrap my head around doing a switch method…I straight up think I'd have a better chance at landing a dub/trip cork or switch 270/450 down a fucking triple kink then even grabbing a switch method let alone making it look good!!!
dawg…Lando's avalanche from White Balance or Optimistic was HEAVY!!! I never knew snow could make such a noise, shit was SO gnarly!!!
Dude I have been threw the mental issues (and I know that sounds sketch) but honestly just that you know it was happening shows so much and that you are still ok. I hope you find the help and support you need, you have been a legend in my eyes for so many years I cant even count. I wish I had 1 day like the thousands you have experienced, but I know there is no way to make this just go away without serious help and I hope you get it with all the resources you have, because I have none and have had to battle it alone. Love you lando! Thanks for sharing.
Anxiety is a bulldozer compared to depression that feels like you are in the bottom of the pit getting backfilled.
Of course he can get threw it though because he has amazing friends like T Rice that can show him the best day ever anytime. I dont have a friend. Not a friend that is incredible, I dont have one friend that is still alive or if they are they are balls deep in family and love and things ill never know. Im glad he has found his landing but a lot of us are flailing in the air just waiting for the hardest impact of our lives and we dont have a heli, or even a friend on a sled that is watching to make sure I make it out. This is so heavy and you guys have so many friends that you could never understand what this hell is.
Thank you guys!
