All I Need Skate

This episode of The Shetler Show, Anthony Shetler and fellow pro skateboarder, Jordan Hoffart have another great conversation on the podcast.

Once he is parked, they discuss his skateboarding origins- including when he got his first board. They go into when Jordan Hoffart started skating, and why he continues. 

From two professional skateboarders point of view, Shetler and Hoffart discuss skating different types of terrain, growing up in cold weather, terrible music, and Canadian accents. Anthony Shetler feels that Canadians are polite and really exceptionally good at skating. They also talk about fighting, and Jordan Hoffart tells another crazy story about getting into a scuffle after his wallet was stolen.

They go into getting hooked up with boards, appreciating life, and having fun with skateboarding and having kids. As a father, Jordan Hoffart is working to keep balance in his life. He goes into details about why he appreciates every minute that he has on his skate board, and of course, Anthony Shetler is right there with him. 

Now that they both are over 30, Jordan Hoffart and Anthony Shetler can talk about the effects of being in the game for a while, and what comes along with it. Legalization, injuries, changing times, yoga, lucid dreaming, float tanks, AIN tv shows, getting sponsored, acting in movies, power rangers murder, skateboarding contests, haters, skate companies dropping out, human consciousness, learning from the internet, and much more are talked about right here on the Shetler Show.
