This is one of two unreleased interviews from 2019. Huge apology to Khaba, I should have published this in 2019. In 2019 I saw on Facebook details of a downhill race in India. I tracked down who competed and found the first place Indian skater: Khaba Maimon. We chatted and I recorded an interview. Downhill skaters travel the world to find the bigge…

Joel & LD kick out of the studio and ollie their way downtown in this one. Who are we kidding? That is not true because this is not that kind of podcast, people. Our hosts are in their 30s, for goodness sake! But if they learned anything here, it's this: There's no lying in skateboarding.

Friends! How are you? It's been way too long, we know. But we're back with Season 6! This week: Have you ever watched curling during the Olympics and thought, "I could do that?" Yeah, Joel too.

This isn't goodbye, it's see you later — yes, that's a wrap on Season 5, YKTPers. And we're sending you off with a little ditty that withstands the test of time: denim. It's durable. It's vintage. It's unassuming. Much like this local shop.

Before you get too excited: No, we did not get on skates — Joel was too scared and LD wasn’t tall enough to participate (only half of that is true). BUT! We did get to chat with Luna Shovegood and Simmer Down about all things derby: bouts, jammers, and of course, the nicknames.

This might be my new favourite episode. I re-listened to this interview after I published the Kicked Out episode, and was immediately inspired. Danny is an amazing guy, his positive attitude is contagious, I forgot how much fun it was talking to him. It might be a crime against longboarding that I have not released this episode!

That was the subject of an email I sent to an Australian distributor and the result was losing the Hopkin Skate reseller account. This is not a sad or an angry podcast, it is an interesting one.
