HeeeeeeEeeEEeEey everyone! Long time no ramble-about-rollersakting-on-the-internet! A few months ago, we teamed up with AntiClique Zine to talk to Kid Ace (aka Mary Smith) about YOGA FOR ROLLER SKATERS! Ace is a classic hunk, both buff and limber, but also kind. She has a long history as a skater, personal trainer, and yoga teacher, and has combined all of her passions to bring us yoga classes that are made specifically to help our bodies SKATE! She's one of our favorite skaters and humans of all time, and we were so jazzed to talk to her not only about yoga for skaters, but about all the usual shtuff too - mental health, seasons of life, skating, and so much more. We hope you liiiiiiike it!

We are so, so, so happy that the stars aligned to make this happen, and we hope that you love it!  A few updates: -We’re sorry for the delay in releasing this episode!

This is a small way to directly contribute to keeping this two-man band running and thriving. Doing this podcast is such a joy but it takes a lot of time, energy, and money; we have happily covered all costs for this podcast out of pocket (because we love doing it), and if you love it too, we’d be the most appreciative if you could purchase some stickies! Either way, we are so grateful for your listens, subscriptions, shares, comments, etc. We are so forking lucky to have your support.  -We will also be restocking shirts in the next couple weeks!

Greetings, party people  - and welcome to our first episode! We are honored to kick the show off with Karli Craig, also known as RollerGoolie. You most likely know Karli from her gnarly street skating clips on instagram, her full-length street-skating edit (STREET FIGHTERS! - which is included in our "Wow Gr8 Inspo" playlist!), her spooky Halloween edits, her incredible clown and circus work, her place on both the Moxi and Wild Bones skate teams, and so much more! We dive into her humble beginnings and background in skating, her injuries throughout the years (and the patience required to get through them), the growth the community has experienced over the past year, feeling (wrongfully) unworthy of recognition and praise, and what fun projects she has in the works. It is such a delight to chat with her, and we hope you'll love listening!   **** APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR THE SOUND QUALITY! We are still deeply in the trouble-shooting phase of podcasting and we super appreciate your patience while we figure this out. We hope you can enjoy this episode, regardless of the sheisty audio quality! We'll figure it out next time.... :))))
