Dog and skull have been trying to skate as much as possible this summer. For example, we just went onto twitter to beg everyone to "get the fuck out of here you're getting played" and that, friends, is skating.

This is worth repeating: Skateboarding is going to be ok!

This is a very good question and we definitely don't want to speak for Alex, here. But we'd guess (dog and skull would guess) that one of them is about passion and belief and love and putting something good into the world, the other is about...something way more more elemental.

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 s

Well, it had to happen eventually. The new episode clocks in at a tight 53 minutes. Oh and it's a good one, friends. Thanks for listening, please don't rank the sex pest Cuomo, and never forget that Vent City loves you.

Grindline opts for "full demolition" and the old heads are like, "But how will Chris Senn carry his kid around on his shoulders there?"

What a time to be a skateboard fan with some travel upcoming. What an abundance of good stuff.

Oh how interesting! The podcast that usually comes out every single week, regularly, on the same day, seems this week to have been delayed to coincide with our own scrappy grassroots endeavor that we put up more or less whenever we feel like it! How *interesting*, fellas!

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

Who says it's got to make money in order for skate 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? God's a rollerblader, y'all.

New episode (for your travels to Tempe)!

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

It's a debate nearly as old as time: Emile Laurent or Aimu Yamazuki? 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?

New episode with Alex, Kristin, Kyle and the Teds. Enjoy!

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 e

Dog and Skull are hella pandering for this year's POTY. New ep with a triptych of topics! The institutionalizing of skating in Bordeaux and MalmΓΆ, plaza culture, and that bane of contemporary skateboarding, the ride-on grind. We got Ted B, Ryan Lay, Ted S, and Jokamundo, all vying for your votes...

Some of us who left Twitter early found leaving to be an extremely beneficial thing for our health and general approach to Being Online.

In other words we had time to recover from the very fucked up real damage that Twitter, specifically, did to us. Not to brag.
