1+ y ago48:09

48:09

This is one of two unreleased interviews from 2019. Huge apology to Khaba, I should have published this in 2019. In 2019 I saw on Facebook details of a downhill race in India.

Prestige Skateshop 29:01

2y ago29:01

29:01

Joel & LD kick out of the studio and ollie their way downtown in this one. Who are we kidding? That is not true because this is not that kind of podcast, people. Our hosts are in their 30s, for goodness sake! But if they learned anything here, it's this: There's no lying in skateboarding.

Friends! How are you? It's been way too long, we know. But we're back with Season 6! This week: Have you ever watched curling during the Olympics and thought, "I could do that?" Yeah, Joel too. But as he learned from the gracious members of Boise Curling Club, it's so much more than a big game of icy shuffleboard. Be sure to subscribe to the podcas…

This week, LD & Joel explore the labyrinth that is Buck's Bags. From saddle packs to cheer uniforms, NFL bags to pontoon boats, this place is low-key a big deal. And to think: it all started with the cape bag.

Treasure Valley Roller Derby 31:36

4+ y ago31:36

31:36

Before you get too excited: No, we did not get on skates — Joel was too scared and LD wasn’t tall enough to participate (only half of that is true). BUT! We did get to chat with Luna Shovegood and Simmer Down about all things derby: bouts, jammers, and of course, the nicknames.

Season 5 is here, and boy have we missed you all. These are _____ times, friends. (weird, sad, scary — fill in the blank.)

Danny is an amazing guy, his positive attitude is contagious, I forgot how much fun it was talking to him. It might be a crime against longboarding that I have not released this episode!

Reconciliation This is the word that got me kicked out of longboarding. That was the subject of an email I sent to an Australian distributor and the result was losing the Hopkin Skate reseller account. This is not a sad or an angry podcast, it is an interesting one. I feel I need to tell this story to move on and give some context about why I stopp…
