Ryan Lay is skateboarding most prolific nollie skater so I talked to him about just that, and combed his part in 'Endless Beauty' for every trick off the nose, for a fun addendum to his 'Five Favorite Parts' interview 🧬 quartersnacks.com/2025/09/five...

We also covered subconsciously emulating your heroes’ trick book, seen here via the same Kenny section and Ryan's part in Sci-Fi Fantasy's 'Endless Beauty'.

If there was, say, a newsworthy moment and you could shoot for an interview with, say, Ryan Lay or a handful of other relevant people. No matter how interesting the rest might be they probably still won’t be as great to talk to as Ryan Lay.

One of my favourite things I’ve ever written was that Nick Boserio skates like Indiana Jones running away from the giant boulder. Revisiting that story on account of this line, from Hayley Wilson’s new part, encapsulating it perfectly. β€” quartersnacks.com/2022/09/five...

Andrew Allen Interview: "I’ve always tried to be thankful for the opportunity" The humble mayor of San Juan Capistrano talks 'Point Break', 'Beauty and the Beast' days, exploring LA, Hockey and his remaining career milestones.

Whereas back in 2020, I interviewed AA for the first time for Slam City Skates. Funnily enough we talked about 'Point Break', 'GoodFellas' and L.A. High which we'd explore in greater detail down the line.
