Judi Oyama ends 2024 with an in person visit and great discussion. We chopped it up in her backyard Woman-Cave and talked growing up in Santa Cruz area, skating in the 70s, Winchester, hanging with Hutson, Santa Cruz skateboards and Independent Trucks, driving Olson and crew over the hill to skate the park, being there for Blackharts roll-in Indy ad, helping create the wave mural at Mike Fox park, downhill slalom, skating in her 60s and much more. Truly an honor for me to get this one done and hopefully you all enjoy it and learn some history. Happy New Year y’all!

In this episode of Talkin' Schmitt, we welcome the old homie from up North, Mr. Willis Kimbel. Willis checks in from his new skateshop in Portland, Oregon Rip's Co which was inspired by Bad Co. He shares his journey in skateboarding, the establishment of his skate shop, and the influence of his family and skate culture on his life. Family support played a crucial role in Willis's skateboarding journey. Listen as we deep dive in the wayback maching where a young Willis experiences the early stokes of skateboarding at the Encinitas YMCA. Willis ponders the question of the potential revival of the iconic Thrasher Magazine skateboarding show 'King of the Road', and the importance of good company during travels One thing seems to be clear, the boys can chat it up and have plenty of history and stories together. Im guessing this is only part one of many more Willis episodes to come. ENJOY!

Hagop shares his journey from Beirut to La Mirada, detailing his family's immigration story and the cultural influences that shaped his life. He reflects on the vibrant skateboarding scene in Whittier, the evolution of skateboarding tricks, and the profound impact of punk rock on his artistic development. The discussion also delves into the formation of his band, Worked World, and the friendships that blossomed through music and skateboarding.

We check in with friend of the show, Amelia Brodka as she gets ready for her annual Exposure event in Encinitas,CA. Whether it be announcing the Olympics, shooting an ad for Arbor Skateboards, snowboarding with her husband, one thing is for sure-things don’t seem to slow down. Tap in and if you’re able, get to Exposure Nov 2 & 3.

Ryan "RJ" Johnson checks in with stories about growing up in the under rated Fresno skateboard scene with the likes of AP, the Paez bros, Tom Knox, Karma and more. We catch up big time, it's been over 20 years! Subject matter ranges from Consolidated days, New Deal, turning pro, his two cover shots, old days with McKenney and Panch and much more... Great to reconnect with Ryan and I think you can hear that in this episode.

Early days in SF at Playland, Santa Cruz Skateboards, entering contests in the 70's, skating Upland or not getting respect, playing music and leading his band the Gentle Orchestra, shooting with Mofo, and the era pre-handrail are just a few of the things Spidey and I discuss this week.
