Hey everyone. We’re going to start releasing the audio of Gear Talk to the podcast stream, starting with episode 17 which aired on February 6th. Don’t worry, Ben and I are still recording the podcast. This is just another way for you to get the Gear Talk content.

This is an experiment, based on lots of requests. We’d love to hear what you think. Does the Gear Talk work without visuals? Should it be a different stream than the regular show? Please let us know.

Thanks as always for the support, we wouldn’t be here without you.

We invite Travis Stewart from Blader Union on the show to talk about his upcoming trip to Winterclash. Also discuss knockoff skates, Ricardo Lino and Micro, the new Roces Fifth Elements and a bunch more.
