Wheel Bite

J and Ted dive in to talk about the heroes we have lost recently (and not so recently), how aging in skateboarding is a beautiful thing, and how this community and culture truly make life and the world more enjoyable.

Skate Parks...the used to be rare and now they are everywhere. J and Ted sit down and discuss the good, the bad and the rad about skate parks popping up worldwide. 

What does it mean to be underrated in skateboarding? Is it a product of time and place? Is it how history remembers you? Is it all about the coverage? J and Ted debate these very questions in episode 5.

The most special of guests, and Ted's personal WOW guest: Todd Swalla, drummer of the Necros, Laughing Hyenas, Misfits (briefly). The three dudes dive in and discuss the cultural link between punk rock and skateboarding. From the fashion accessory, to the lifestyle, the two have always gone hand in hand, and who better to discuss these matching ideologies with than one of the guys who was on the front lines of this symbiotic relationship?

The topic they've been WAITING for: skate video soundtracks. What works? What doesn't? What makes a song choice GREAT? Why are others so forgettable? J and Ted debate one of skating's greatest facets; the music we, as a culture, all wind up loving.

On an adventure to the Lowcard warehouse, J and Ted sit down with Rob Collinson and Sean Sanford, two of Lowcard's fine staff members. Rob and Sean take these nerds down the rabbit hole of quality merch, life on the road, and running a magazine in 2019. This was one for the books, enjoy.

With it being so late in 2019 after a long hiatus, J and Ted dive right into the best content of the year - to get season three rolling.

In the season finale, J and Ted look back on the last half of 2018 and talk about what made these six months in skateboarding great. There was A LOT of stuff that came out, so the guys try to sift through it and analyze where we are going into 2019 for skateboarding.

Transworld videos have always been the highest quality and featured the best skaters of the moment. So many of them are considered “masterpieces.” This week, J and Ted dive in to dissect the Transworld formula and how after 30 videos since the mid 90s, they continue to make art that keeps us engaged.

Now halfway through the season, J and Ted discuss summer’s finest cable television programming: Thrasher’s ultimate contest, King of the Road. From it’s DVD-in-the-mag beginnings, to everyone’s television set, this off-the-rails road trip had evolved and pushed skating whether the viewers want to accept that, or not. Mystery guests, one-upping the biggest spots, and skateboarding’s competitive nature have continued to keep the show interesting, so the boys discuss where it was, where it is, and what could they possibly think of next.
