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…
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…
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…
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…
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?…
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…
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…
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. Intro music by Roar Outro music by Dylan…
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…
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…
