Throwing The Basketball Through The Hoop From The Bottom
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:

Privatized Paddlescapes And The Freaks In The Skyscraper (w/Taj Hanson)
Consider this a mini-Slow Impact recap, where an excellent panel about skatepark design and skate-integrated spaces leads to a productive conversation between our guest, Portland-based landscape architect, Taj Hanson, and Ted B about skate spot heritage, the shifting needs of skate plazas and their form, and what we all can do to ensure better things get built and worse things don’t get built at all. Practice into praxis, bank to curb, slap this!
Taj’s trick challenge is a Welshed-out backside noselide, which means you’re gonna do a backside noselide and nollie pop outta that thang!
