Oh you went to Slow Impact? No you didn't. That's why you gotta listen to this show! What's up skaters, We went back down to the number two city in America, Tempe, Arizona to learn and to lay in the sun. Lie in the sun? Who knows. Probably Kyle. He's on this episode, not correcting the "lay vs lie" debate, but he is joining Ryan Lay, Kristin Ebeling, Ted Barrow, Adam Burns and the person who writes these comprehension show notes. Do we talk about video parts from your favorite pros? No. But here's a link to one if you absolutely need it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gOz7Qt8JVM From the first panel to the closing session at The Wedge, we walk you through everything that is this "entertainment product." So turn your fuckin' headphones up and do some dishes or drive to work with us.

Skaters, We'll make this a short intro. We are beyond honored to welcome Palestinian-American skateboarder, writer, photographer and human rights researcher Maen Hammad. We start with a reading from his piece "On skateboarding, solidarity, and Palestine" published by Skate Jawn (https://skatejawn.com/on-skateboarding-solidarity-and-palestine/) Then we talk about his growing up, skating and work in Palestine. Despite some of the sad circumstances we discuss, it really is a good time and Maen's voice and photos in this moment are essential for any skater.

What's Up Skaters! Welcome back to Vent City. Today we're talking to esteemed video game writer and full-fledged skater Cole Nowicki on the heels of his new book "Right, Down + Circle" from ECW Press. We get into our past as gamers and skaters coming up in the inescapable wake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. We also wonder why we never got into skyboarding. It's a fantastic, inquisitive chat with a true Canadian treasure you're sure to fall in love with. And if you've ever wondered what it takes to get Tony Hawk to reply to your book blurb request, Cole lets you on his propriety method.

What's up, Skaters We're back with the host and star of the hit urban design and architecture skate history program "This Old Ledge" from Thrasher Magazine—that's right, Ted Barrow joins Ryan Lay, Kyle Beachy, Alex White and Ted Schmitz. We talk about the program, sing its praise and digress into a lengthy chat about the weight of nostalgia. Following that thread, we also talk about the cultural impact of Ed Templeton and his new book "Wires Crossed" that Kyle Beachy wrote about in the Southwest Review. Here's a link to that! https://southwestreview.com/naked-wives-and-surprising-penises/ What a title. After we spend more than 20 minutes discussing what Ed meant to us in our adolescence and what if feels like to watch our heroes age online we talk about a young person, lest we lose the one zoomer who listens to the show. Thank you for listening, Hayden. Yuto Horigome looks good in his hometown and we think it's funny when he skates with Supreme's fashionable French models. The trick challenge is to heelflip off literally anything. Intro song by Roar Credits by Dylan Bryne Mix and Edit by Adam Burns

What's up skaters, We start the show by asking one question: Is there a doctor in the building?! We answer that by saying yes. It's Theodore Barrow Ph.D. Our distinguished castmember talks about the years-long process of attaining such an accomplishment and credential, then we talk about another academic, Alexis Sablone before getting into Kristin Ebeling's epic trip out to Cambodia to share Skate Like a Girl programming with the scene there. It's fun and we have a great time. Trick Challenge: LIke as many ollies as you can do in 30 sceonds.

What is up, skaters?! On today’s episode we talk with the only pro we know to blend dolphin flips and drag in this freewheelin’ discussion that will literally make you laugh and cry. If you don’t do both, go to your cardiologist, ‘cause your heart’s in rough shape. We’ve got THERE Skateboards pro and Bottom Feeder exec Chandler Burton joining us! We cover getting sober young, the origins of his drag persona Titus, the whirlwind of the Glory Challenge and so much more. It’s good. It’s like really good. Like you should listen to it twice on regular speed. You people that listen to podcasts on 2x make me sick! What are you in such a rush for?! I can't remember if there's a trick challenge or not but it would be a dolphin flip if there was.

What's Up, Skaters? Welcome back to another episode of Vent City. Don't call it a call in; it's a call out. The author of these episode descriptions hops on the line with castmembers Ted Barrow, Alex White, Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay and Kyle Beachy. We're talkin' YouTube's fascination with AA, sponsored babies, DIY must-haves, table clearing and a world beyond SOTY. If none of that sounds interesting to you, then you are a weird person that I don't even want to call!!! BLOCKED AND REPORTED. Listen to it. Enjoy it. Listen to it again. Enjoy it a second time. I wouldn't suggest a third listen, 'cause this isn't Arrested Development. You're pretty much gonna get everything out of one listen. I hope you love that one though...

What's up, skaters! Welcome back to Vent City. We are joined tonight (or today, or this morning, depending on your schedule) by Alex White, Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, Ted Schmitz and Kyle Beachy. What are we talking about? You remember that time that the b-tier shop in your town threw a shoddy best trick contest on the eight-stair at your park. There was a guy with a huge fuckin' trucker hat on the megaphone, offering a free shop shirt for switch hardie down "the big set"? Yeah, that sucked. But Skate Like a Girl's Wheels of Fortune and the Dime Glory Challenge didn't. So we talk about the good, the bad and basically just those two things when it comes to events. Are you gonna throw a five-day bonanza in your town? That's a stupid idea. Listen to Kebs and you'll know why. Do you want to know what your upcoming video premiere should have to make it a hit? We don't really have a good answer for that, but it's a fun show anyway. Intro music: Roar Credits Music: Dylan Bryne Logo and graphic design: Michael Worful Support the show: Patreon.com/ventcity

What's up, Skaters! Welcome back to Vent City, where we're always topical and timely while responding to the skategeist. That was one of the worst portmanteaus I've ever typed. Jesus. Worstmanteau. With us on the show we have show-description copywriter Ted Schmitz in weird third-person voice, followed by more-normal and better-thinking Ted [Barrow], and Ryan Lay of nollie-boardslide-on-Hubba fame. We even get a special call in from a castmember, but it's not Kristin or Alex 'cause they're at Wheels of Fortune 11. WIth this esteemed panel we're talking about that bench. Yep, that one. Then we talk about some Philly stuff and I drop enough Swedish pop songs into the track for Soundcloud to cancel the upload. Trick Challenge: Bring the bench to a masonite park in Virginia Beach. intro music: Roar Credits music: Dylan Bryne Logo and Graphic Design: Michael Worful Support the show: patreon.com/ventcity

What's up, skaters?! Welcome back to another full episode of Vent City. On today's show we have the author Kyle Beachy, the caption writer Ted Schmitz, professional skater Ryan Lay and one of the sickest skaters on the planet Arin! Did you know she had no intentions of getting into the sponsored game? Maybe! Did you know she worked in a lab processing COVID samples? Probably not, but maybe you did. But you certainly won't know everything we talk about in this fantastic interview, so put on some headphones and enjoy.
