Taylor Ruddle and Craig Westenberg reminisce about the 90s, skate culture, and the significance of Tony Hawk's video games.

To coincide with the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, I brought Craig Westenberg back onto the podcast and we reminisced about the 90s, skate culture, extreme sports, music, jackass and the like and Craig walked me through the history of the Tony Hawk video games and why they are so meaningful to him.
