Skating Is Hard

Episode 15!!!!!  This is a BIG episode, in length and content! Today I have nine, yes, NINE guests on the show! All of them are members of the greatest #skatetwitter group chat that you never knew existed: THE SHOE PANT CHECK. This is the REAL show that has skaters talking, TEN of them actually-all at once! We talk about all types of skateboard stuff, and a bunch of non-skateboard stuff too! It's all hilarious and insightful and at a lot of times chaotic. Big, big, big thanks to all my friends here for coming on-Johnny, Tempest, Jay, Rose, Owen, Brooklyn, Sean, Isaiah, and Pablo, love y'all!!!

Episode 11!! This one is an ep I've been thinking about for a longgg time. The subject is personal to me as a bigger skater, so I def took my time to work on this one and make it something meaningful for all the big skaters out there, not just me. Gotta seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank my guests for coming on, they all killed it and had dope things to say. Hope you enjoy!

Today I talk to my #skatetwitter friend, Evan Tooley. Evan is a skater from Denver, CO who has his own board brand called, Déar, and he also shot and edited his own video, "Peer Pressure", featuring him and his friends. We talked about the inspiration behind Déar and how Evan runs it by himself, the making of "Peer Pressure", the current state of the full-length skate video, and Evan tells me a hilarious story about an interaction he had with Chaz Ortiz while skating in Chicago.
