About this episode

Kristin Ebeling leads a focused discussion on skateboarding culture, industry challenges, and predictions for the future.

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 seems like Vent’s most compact and taut episode…ever? It starts with a check-in, quickly, before we hear from Alex White on Tacky Joy Factory and Leo Baker, with a full-on fanout from monsieurs Ted Schmitz, Adam Burns, and Kyle Beachy. Then it’s Street League’s turn toward single-issue skate events. A wooden triple set? In Los Angeles? Is Rumble still behind this shit? Who knows. Then it’s all about The industry is in trouble…and the industry is thriving? To wrap things up we’ve got a few burning-hot predictions for Ted’s triumphant return to the desert after a stint in New York City. Who’ll sponsor him? What’s his future hold? Then it’s the most tasteful trick challenge of all time. And that’s it! A wrap! Thanks, always, to the following: Intro music by Roar Credits music by Dylan Bryne Logo and graphic design by Michael Worful Mixed and edited by Adam Bur
