Fellow Skaters, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity that we present this recording, as a living testament and recollection of history in the making during our generation.

Allow us to re-introduce ourselves, our name is Vent City. V to the E-N-T-C-I-T-Y.

On this episode you will hear Kristin Ebeling, Ted Barrow, Kyle Beachy, and Ted Schmitz say many words about our current skate of affairs...or maybe state of the skation? Skate of the skation? This week we have a discussion about many things we think are good in skating which are listed below with the corresponding links. We also have a discussion about Kristin's recent trip to Vancouver to talk with other folks working with social skate projects. Then we go into the topic of mental health and give some insight to our personal experiences and struggles. We also sort of talk about Milton Martinez for a second and also the Primitive video in the Funeral Pyre segment.

No trick challenge this week cause we forgot. Maybe we'll have two next week.

Here's what we think is good in skating. Buy these, read these if you want to enjoy some non-video-part skate radness.
