Folks, they did it. After all these episodes, the Vent City crew has finally taken a cue from every other skate podcast. That’s right! Today we bring you four dudes, none of them pros. With Kristin and Alex busy and Ryan on tour, it’s just two Teds with an Adam and a Kyle. And what have these unprofessional men gotten into? Well, Kyle wrote a Scholastic kids book about skating, which means we’re digging down into the basics. Why grind? Why bother with tricks at all? There’s also talk of his time on the Navajo Nation with 4Kinship, distributing pre-made completes. Can pricepoint pre-mades save skating? Or do we still need cool skater heroes? Ted B gives us an EMB update and takes us inside his work with Jacob Rosenberg curating the Epicenter show, and having the chance to work with Kevin Wilkins one last time. And then, respectfully, silence.

Thanks, always, to the following:
