016_Chasing the Podium with Travis Upshur

About this episode

Travis Upshur shares his journey and passion for distance skateboarding, highlighting his experience at the Miami Ultraskate.

This episode's guest is Travis Upshur, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Travis has what I would call an infectious energy. He’s relatively new to distance skateboarding and has a very strong passion for it. The second he heard about Miami Ultraskate, he was cooking up plans to go. And with his first go at the 24 hour challenge, he managed an impressive 150 miles. Philly has an amazing community for distance skateboarding and Travis is a great ambassador for this community. I think you’ll all enjoy getting to know him. Instagram: @ttrap_400 @socialpush.philly @philly.longboard.crew @skating.in.circles.podcast
