    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: Intro music by Roar Credits music by Dylan Bryne Logo and graphic design by Michael Worful Mixed and edited by Adam Burns

    That's Not A Sunset, That's A Mushroom Cloud

    Grabbing the hosting reins this time around, Kristin Ebeling keeps the crew’s wandering eyes focused on the actual prize: a super coherent and non-wandering-ass conversation. The result is what sure seems like Vent’s most compact and taut episode…ever? It starts with a check-in, quickly, before we hear from Alex White on Tacky Joy Factory and Leo Baker, with a full-on fanout from monsieurs Ted Schmitz, Adam Burns, and Kyle Beachy. Then it’s Street League’s turn toward single-issue skate events. A wooden triple set? In Los Angeles? Is Rumble still behind this shit? Who knows. Then it’s all about The industry is in trouble…and the industry is thriving? To wrap things up we’ve got a few burning-hot predictions for Ted’s triumphant return to the desert after a stint in New York City. Who’ll sponsor him? What’s his future hold? Then it’s the most tasteful trick challenge of all time. And that’s it! A wrap!

    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!

    You Won't Believe People Are Skating In This Tiny Fishing Village In Finland

    The industry is down bad, y’all. There are booms, there are busts, and as 2025 gets moving, we’re squarely in the latter. Everyone will tell you so. But is that…bad? Yes, definitely for the people who work in the industry. But what about for the rest of us? Who says we’ve got to make money in order for the culture to be vibrant? And what does it mean that skateboarding has to keep reaching outside of itself for help, always struggling to sell our weird hobby to normies? What’s a contest, after all, if not a way to force a story onto skateboarding and make a quick buck? Well, Kristin and WOF would like a word. So would Alex White, Ted Barrow, Ted Schmitz, Adam Burns, and Kyle Beachy. But you know one way these fools all agree? Thank god for local videos.

    Jason Dill Is Screaming 'I Told You So'

    Well, well, well–if it isn’t our last pod of last year that’s actually our first of 2025. Alex White, Ted Barrow, Kristin Ebeling, Ted Schmitz, and Kyle Beachy are back and ready to talk mad, mad shit. First, they address a debate nearly as old as time: Emile Laurent or Aimu Yamazuki? Are these dudes somehow hesh and fresh? Or neither? Where’d they come from? Who would you rather have a beer with? In any case, Portland’s got parking for days. Then it’s time for reflection, as the Gregorian calendar casts a broad, massive shadow. The twist around these parts, though, is we’re looking for vids with heart. Soul? The videos of 2024 have that something that tickled our human parts. And hey, while we’re at it, why aren’t we any better yet at talking about women’s skateboarding? Are the ally olympics this year, or next? Anyway, wrap things up with a little talk about the year ahead. Is hopelessness a strategy? Nah. Keep pushing, as the man himself says. All this, plus Shane O’Neill’s secret hack for skate contest attire. And a new Vent City Trick Challenge: a classic blunt fakie on transition. The tinier the better. Thank you to our listeners, especially the following four folks who make the show happen: Intro music by Roar Credits music by Dylan Bryne Logo and graphic design by Michael Worful Mixed and edited by Adam Burns

    I Never Met A Teenaged Cheesemonger That Skated

    Come along as Ted Barrow, Adam Burns, Ryan Lay, and Ted Schmitz duck and dodge the fuzzy reality of November 5, 2024, daring to record on the dark and miserable night of our most recent presidential election. The result is a triptych of topics, starting with the institutionalizing of skateboarding at LOVE Malmö and Leo Valls’s Connect Festival, in Bordeaux. Not to be daft, but who are these conferences for, really? Then it’s on to plaza culture, which, is there still plaza culture? Are people out there still top-doggin’ and one-uppin? Is Borough Hall a plaza? Are DIYs actually our new plazas? We got those big questions that you’ve come to expect. As the ender, the fellas take on that bane of contemporary skateboarding, the ride-on grind. It’s fun, folks. It is fun and healthy to get together with friends and talk through the most inane nuances you can think of. Let’s do more of it, whoever ends up winning this election. Oh! And! The next Vent City Trick Challenge™ is a tasteful classic, the nollie backside lipslide shuv out. Wow, yeah, say that five times. Nollie back lip shuv. Nolli back lip shuv. Nollie back lip…Sorry. Film one! Tag us! Meanwhile, Thank you to our listeners, especially the following four folks who make the show happen: Intro music by Roar Credits music by Dylan Bryne Logo and graphic design by Michael Worful Mixed and edited by Adam Burns

    Branding's a Hell of a Drug

    That’s right, Vent Citizens–it’s a new day here at VC headquarters. Dog and Skull have grabbed hold of the reins and there’s some changing afoot. What kind? How about regular, monthly episodes, or at least our best attempt at same? How about reasonable runtimes? More interviews? A brand new internal workflow model with labor distributed among all the humans and 400% more preparation before recording? Our first ep under brand new management is a doozy. The industry is hurting, so naturally we’re talking all about brands with Alex White, Kyle Beachy, Adam Burns, and Ted Schmitz. Tip toeing that fine line between making product and making art, we cover everything from the logos we doodled in notebooks to genuine professional expertise, including a few actual numbers! What do SNL and Powell Peralta have in common? How cynical is too cynical? And is “heritage” an obvious good, or should old brands get out of the way? Tempers flare, laughter rings out in the night, and by the end, we’re all much, much smarter. And would you believe it concludes with the triumphant return of the trademarked Vent City Trick Challenge? Do a pole jam, people. Find a pole jam, jam that sucker, and tag @vent.city with the clip.

    You Don't Know What a Butt Flap Is?

    What's up, Skaters! This one is more of a comment than a question. Actually it's a lot of questions from Ryan, Kyle, Adam, Kristin, Alex and Ted S about all the mysteries of skateboarding. Is the technical talent in skating dwindling? Would you want a partner that skates? We get into all that and some meandering tangents as always. You're gonna love it.
