I’ve loved skateboarding since I was in 3rd grade. Over the years I’ve made friends through loving skateboarding that I still am friends with to this day. Although I haven’t stepped on a board in years, it’ll always be close to my heart. Friday is Go Skate Day so I thought it would only be right to speak with one of the OG’s. - This week, I sat down with Greg Pasquarella to talk about the complete history of OneUp Skateshop. OneUp Skateshop is an iconic fixture in the Pittsburgh skateboard scene. They opened in their West Mifflin location in 2003 and have been pushing ever since. Greg and I talk about how he got into skating, what the scene was like growing up, what skaters he looked up to, how he got introduced to OneUp, and how he eventually became the soul owner for the next decade. This whole episode tells the story of OneUp’s history and all the bullshit they had to deal with along the way. We talk about the Nike Dunk Days and how crazy that time was, what it’s like to see young shredders grow into pros, how he met Brandon McConnell, and how after 15+ years OneUp is still standing strong and doing dope shit for the skateboard community. - Brandon McConnell is the other Co Owner of One Up. I spoke with Brandon on episode 55 and we talked about how OneUp is doing today and what it’s like running a shop in this online world so after you check out how OneUp began, be sure to check out EP 55 to hear about what it’s like today. Thanks so much for listening!
