    Is Skateboarding Over?

    Spoiler alert: it’s not. But with so much having changed in skateboarding since the days we took that first push, we thought it might be an interesting question to explore.

    Brands

    We have a pretty bad workflow. This episode was actually inspired by Nyjah Huston's announcement of his "revolutionary" brand, Disorder; needless to say, some time has passed since then. Nevertheless, here we go: the three of us share some thoughts on skate brands - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Progression

    We’ve all heard people talk about how skateboarding is all about ”personal progression” - but what does that actually mean? Is there a certain point we’re all trying to progress towards on our own timelines, or is there really no measuring stick when it comes to progress in skating? What does progress look like when you get older or have obligations outside of skateboarding? Would you rather skate only frontside or only backside? Why does Sawyer get better faster as he ages? All of these mysteries are explored (with little resolution) in our latest episode. Tune in to hear us old guys equivocate as we explore our personal growth as skaters.

    Beyond Skating

    Ask any skater, and they'll tell you: skateboarding runs deep. It gets inside you. It settles in your bones. Once you become a skater, you're changed - and usually for the better. Skateboarding filters into our lives in many ways, some of which have little to do with the act of skating itself: it changes the way we understand our relationship to our community, it opens our eyes to worlds of art and thinking previously unknown, and it colours the ways in which we see the world. I'll be honest - when we first talked about starting a podcast, this was the episode I envisioned. A chance to talk about some of the deep and meaningful ways that skateboarding has changed us and our worldviews. We open up and get pretty vulnerable in this one (and have some fun, too!). I hope it resonates with you all in some way, big or small.

    Fashion

    Skaters are aesthetes. We dedicate as much thought and energy to the craft of dress as we do the craft of skateboarding - no other subculture works so hard to look like they care so little about what they look like. There's a massive intersection between fashion and skateboarding, and although we skaters love to claim that everyone else bites our style, the truth of the relationship is probably more one of mutual influence. So here we have it: three non-experts talk like they know stuff they probably don't. Grab a blank t-shirt, spend 36 minutes cuffing your Dickies just so, and tune in. It's good fun!

    Style

    A lot of our preferences in skateboarding come down to "style" - something we seemingly arbitrarily attribute to whatever skating we find personally engaging. So what does style even mean in skateboarding? In this episode, we have a look at some of the things that make for stylish skateboarding - in our completely subjective opinions, of course. Topics of interest include white privilege, high school skate clubs, and cheater tricks - enjoy!

    Personal SOTYs

    With 2021 in the bag and Mark Suciu awarded Thrasher's Skater of the Year, we thought we'd jump in with a bit of an alternative take. Not that we don't back the Suciu win - he crushed skateboarding in 2021 and deserves the award and all the accolades that come with it - but we wanted to celebrate some skaters who were on our radars and getting us pumped up to skate throughout the year that might not have made it into the SOTY conversation. It also seemed like the perfect time for Sawyer to assert his Pokemon dominance. Tune in to listen to some not-so-hot takes on Cariumas, John's undying love for DC, and a celebration of the skaters who fire us up to keep playing skateboards.
