I'm Not Trying to Kill Myself for Skateboarding (w/ Chandler Burton)

What's Up, Skaters? Welcome back to another episode of Vent City. Don't call it a call in; it's a call out. The author of these episode descriptions hops on the line with castmembers Ted Barrow, Alex White, Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay and Kyle Beachy. We're talkin' YouTube's fascination with AA, sponsored babies, DIY must-haves, table clearing and a world beyond SOTY. If none of that sounds interesting to you, then you are a weird person that I don't even want to call!!! BLOCKED AND REPORTED. Listen to it. Enjoy it. Listen to it again. Enjoy it a second time. I wouldn't suggest a third listen, 'cause this isn't Arrested Development. You're pretty much gonna get everything out of one listen. I hope you love that one though...Intro and transition music by ROARCredits music by Dylan BryneLogo and Graphic Design by Michael WorfulSupport the show:Patreon.com/ventcity

Do You Mean My Switch Backside Tailslides?

What's up, skaters! Welcome back to Vent City. We are joined tonight (or today, or this morning, depending on your schedule) by Alex White, Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, Ted Schmitz and Kyle Beachy. What are we talking about? You remember that time that the b-tier shop in your town threw a shoddy best trick contest on the eight-stair at your park. There was a guy with a huge fuckin' trucker hat on the megaphone, offering a free shop shirt for switch hardie down "the big set"? Yeah, that sucked. But Skate Like a Girl's Wheels of Fortune and the Dime Glory Challenge didn't. So we talk about the good, the bad and basically just those two things when it comes to events. Are you gonna throw a five-day bonanza in your town? That's a stupid idea. Listen to Kebs and you'll know why. Do you want to know what your upcoming video premiere should have to make it a hit? We don't really have a good answer for that, but it's a fun show anyway. Intro music: RoarCredits Music: Dylan BryneLogo and graphic design: Michael WorfulSupport the show:Patreon.com/ventcity

What's up, Skaters! Welcome back to Vent City, where we're always topical and timely while responding to the skategeist. That was one of the worst portmanteaus I've ever typed. Jesus. Worstmanteau. With us on the show we have show-description copywriter Ted Schmitz in weird third-person voice, followed by more-normal and better-thinking Ted [Barrow], and Ryan Lay of nollie-boardslide-on-Hubba fame. We even get a special call in from a castmember, but it's not Kristin or Alex 'cause they're at Wheels of Fortune 11. WIth this esteemed panel we're talking about that bench. Yep, that one. Then we talk about some Philly stuff and I drop enough Swedish pop songs into the track for Soundcloud to cancel the upload.

Ben Chadbourne

On this week’s episode of Vent City the limited panel of Ryan Lay, Ted Barrow, and Kyle Beachy discuss Ryan’s article on Jenkem about life lessons from a pro skater. Here’s a link for that: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2019/10/24/life-lessons-pro-skater/ . They also talk Ben Chadourne’s BOOM and somehow not one person on the show knows how to say the filmmaker’s name. Here’s a link to BOOM for some reason: https://vimeo.com/367591176 Then the panel discusses the new Passport video, Kitsch, which we’re not going to link to cause it’s on our hard drives. This one is short and fun and we’ll see you next week, skaters. Stick around for the Pro Flow credits on this one for something special from Ted Barrow at a cocktail party with our dedicated Patreon team.

#11 I Feel Like You're Saying Ben Chadbourne, Like He's a Chad

Welcome Back, Skaters, to another episode of Vent City. On this show we have Kristin Ebeling, Alex White, Ted Barrow, and Ted Schmitz having a conversation about the Sk8 Rats video by Shane Aukland which has full parts from Kristin and Shari White from the Skate Witches and more. Shane steps in to set Ted S. straight on some of the music used throughout the video. The panel discusses Kristin’s part at length after a lengthy discussion of bath balms and the necessity of self-care in your 30s. They also discuss Cory Kennedy’s new part and how the prison system in America is a fucking joke. At some point they talk about the uses of a Theragun during foreplay so there’s that. Alex also tells a show-stopping about how the ASR Tradeshow saved her life.  To prep the interview with Keegan Guizard at the College Skateboarding Educational Foundation (CSEF), the panel talks a little about each of their college experiences and what Ted B. gives an inside look at what is actually entailed by a Ph.D program—time, so much time. After Ted Schmitz (me) sits down with Keegan the group goes on to talk about the New York Times article about the events that happened in San Francisco earlier this year between skaters and a security guard. Then there’s the Funeral Pyre segment: Alex White throws in the practice of Go Funding Yourself to get to contests. The platform could probably be used to more necessary things. Kristin lights ablaze the practice of having companies being run and operated mostly by men who are shutting down opportunities for women in skating and don’t know how to advance equity in skating. Boy’s club shit needs to go. Ted Barrow can see, somewhere off in the distance a glowing orange strobe that seems to get more intense the closer he gets. It’s a giant temple of flames and everyone is standing around it honoring a memory while the heat keeps them at a distance. That giant flame is fueled by EMB footy in 2019 and the kept ablaze by the thick oil of nostalgia that soaks each clip. The historian stays toward the back of crowd, taking in the last flickers of light as the crowd starts to dissipate while he mutters to himself—or maybe an imagined historically minded crowd member—“all I see is an absence, not a presence.” Ted Schmitz on a petty note takes issue with the constantly reinventing instagram move of archiving the grid so skaters only have one post up, making it impossible to find the funny heel flip board slide of yesterday.

#8 ASR Tradeshow Saved My Life

Hello and what's up, skaters! What we've got here is another episode of Vent City, where we talk skateboarding and some other bullshit. On this show we've got Kristin Ebeling, Alex White, Ted Schmitz and Ryan Lay, who are all also skaters. We talk about what's good in skateboarding like Pat Burke and Danny Dicola being awesome skaters in the Slave video, Radio Silence. Also Ryan Lay likes the Cafe video, Sonata, which you can find a link to right after this sentence is over. https://www.freeskatemag.com/2019/12/12/cafe/ Ryan also skated a demo for Bernie Sanders and Skate After School, along with Cowtown skateboards, gave out hundreds of skateboards to kids in AZ! Kristin and Skate Like A Girl delivered skateboards for Christmas to kids around Seattle with help from both 35th shops and we can all agree that's what's good. She also helped premiere the videos for Scene Attack in Seattle which is a sick street video contest that we might have a link to after I text Northwest people to get the link since googling "scene attack seattle" has delivered some truly horrifying results that aren't skate related at fucking all.Alex White is digging Maité Steenhoudt's eponymous part by Element and we have a nice little discussion talking about different parts of the video we liked that are all good and just reasons to get hyped on it. Oh, you want a link? Shit, you already saw it cause it was like three weeks ago? Well, fuck you, here's the link anyway so you watch it again, goddamnit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpFRepAzKJ0&amp;feature=youtu.beAlso, who knew that Element had a Youtube channel? After the good stuff we get into more good stuff by talking about Women's Battle at the Berrics where both Alex and Kristin handled some business refereeing and broadcasting the action. After that contest discussion we get into a deeper talk about women's contests more broadly and whether or not all contests should be done away with. The answer to that question is in the show but if you're reading this, I'll just tell you: most of us are fine with contests existing except Ryan Lay who just wants pros to be out in the streets and in the community skating together. Then we get into our usual Funeral Pyre segment where we say farewell and goodbye to things in skating that no longer giving us any functional value. I, Ted, think that the front blunt with a crail grab shouldn't be performed anymore and also that it should definitely never be written or spoken of because the name it was given is just kinda ew. Ryan says something about contests and we just end up throwing him on the pyre instead. Goodbye, old friend, you are an amazing skater and dude but you don't know what should be skating worthy of the story and what is for the feed. Kristin throws being a "cool guy" onto the gorgeous pillar of flaming corpses. Just, like, say what's up to people and be mellow about it when you see familiar faces at the park. And especially don't purposely ignore people. That's super weird. Alex says teen pregnancy is quite passé so let's drop it. Also, we back planned parenthood where you can get lots of reproductive health services and access to contraceptives! Want a link to that as well? What's that? You know how Google works? Well, fuck you again, here it is! https://www.plannedparenthood.org/And that's it for the shows main product. Music by Ilana Bryne (@ilana.bryne or naivetrax.bandcamp.com) Logo and Graphic Design by Michael Worful (@worful) Also check out this cool shit he designed for Skate After School and Pyramid Country https://www.pyramidcountry.com/product/pyramid-country-x-skate-after-school-tee-whiteAfter you see all that, feel free to listen to a truly cringey jam I made for our Pro Flow members who give to our patreon! And yeah, I'm gonna link it. https://www.patreon.com/ventcitySincerely though, we thank each an every one of you for listening. We love you a lot.

Hello and what's up, skaters! What we've got here is another episode of Vent City, where we talk skateboarding and some other bullshit. On this show we've got Kristin Ebeling, Alex White, Ted Schmitz and Ryan Lay, who are all also skaters. We talk about what's good in skateboarding like Pat Burke and Danny Dicola being awesome skaters in the Slave video, Radio Silence. Also Ryan Lay likes the Cafe video, Sonata, which you can find a link to right after this sentence is over. <a href="https://www.freeskatemag.com/2019/12/12/cafe/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.freeskatemag.com/2019/12/12/cafe/</a> Ryan also skated a demo for Bernie Sanders and Skate After School, along with Cowtown skateboards, gave out hundreds of skateboards to kids in AZ! Kristin and Skate Like A Girl delivered skateboards for Christmas to kids around Seattle with help from both 35th shops and we can all agree that's what's good. She also helped premiere the videos for Scene Attack in Seattle which is a sick street video contest that we might have a link to after I text Northwest people to get the link since googling "scene attack seattle" has delivered some truly horrifying results that aren't skate related at fucking all. Alex White is digging Maité Steenhoudt's eponymous part by Element and we have a nice little discussion talking about different parts of the video we liked that are all good and just reasons to get hyped on it. Oh, you want a link? Shit, you already saw it cause it was like three weeks ago? Well, fuck you, here's the link anyway so you watch it again, goddamnit! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpFRepAzKJ0&amp;feature=youtu.be" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpFRepAzKJ0&amp;feature=youtu.be</a> Also, who knew that Element had a Youtube channel?

#14 You're One of my Favorite Skaters, But That's a Story Post, Bro

Holy Shit, Vent City episode nine is here just one day before Mark Suciu drops his long-awaited Verso part. But we don't get into that here. We are doing a Pushing Boarders recap ep to bookend all our PB coverage. Lots of things are talked about—why folks were at the conference, what they talked about and each panelist (co-host?) shares their highlights.Ted S thinks we should maybe do away with describing skateboard movements in non-skate outlets. It seems like he's coming down on one particular instance, but he's just shortsighted and has seen this come up many time in the past from news outlets. He really really does like the Tyshawn piece—it's very very good—even though he gripes about the kickflip front board description.Kristin pyres the practice of excluding non-male skters from leadership positions and decision making processes in the industry. Also maybe stop asking non-traditional skaters for their opinion if you're just going to ignore it or use it as free consulting. Kyle chooses some actual kindling for the funeral pyre and hope we can light the fucking Mega Ramp on fire for fucking good before it kills someone. Also, if you don't pop your tail, you might be missing something essential to this thing we loosely define as skateboarding.Ted Barrow is ready to burn down this whole thing where folks say "...... is ruining skateboarding." Most things other skaters are doing for fun on their skateboards don't really affect your skateboarding, even if the other Ted is fighting about it on Twitter. Ryan Lay says "bye bye" to elaborate camera gear that turns the session into a car commercial. The higher the production gear budget, the further you get from an organic session. Music by Ilana Bryne (@ilana.bryne, naivetrax.bandcamp.com) Graphic Design by Michael Worful (@worful)That's it. We love you. Big time.

#9 I Don't Know If You Have These Laws in The States, I Think, Maybe Not?

Kyle Beachy and Ted Schmitz bring you a bonus episode about the part they both devoted weeks of their life to—Mark Suciu's Verso. The part is long, epic, and complex and we try to unpack a little bit of it. Enjoy. Oh, also if you wanted to watch along with us, start Verso at 31:13. Not kidding, that's literally the time stamp.

Flowgram #6 Great Hyperboles of Melting Faces and Shitted Pants

Skaters, what is up? Episode 17 is coming to you straight from the Vent City studios in Maricopa County which actually is not that far from where Joe Arpaio’s absolutely abhorrent Tent City was. So there’s that. For the first time ever we have a live in-person roundtable discussion without the use of video conferencing technology. On the show, we’ve got the owner of a brand-new birthday Kristin Ebeling, followed by Ryan Lay, Ted Schmitz, and Kora Colasuonno from Queer Skate LA, to discuss a thousand topics which we will not, under any circumstances, give you timecodes for because it’s after midnight and somehow feel like if we don’t you’ll listen to the whole thing. We get into Kristin taking kids at Skate Like a Girl to the state capital to advocate for more skate parks and skate programming. Word has it, they even got the Governor to wear a SLAG hat. After that we talk about the olympic art of cupping which three out of four panelists tried and liked at varying degrees. The main focus of our discussion is centered around three things: local skateparks and why you should build them with beginners in mind, Queer Skate LA meetups and how Instagram can be used for good, and Marsha Ann’s Day in the Life video on Skateism. It’s all very rad stuff and pretty goddamn wholesome this time around. Check out Marsha's video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xORr_dAB52Q&amp;feature=emb_titleOh, you’re wondering what our first skate shoes were? Yeah, we cover that too. Almost forgot, I give tips on frontside airs that you don’t need to listen to. The only real tip is to spend a few years as a fly-out kid and then live in shame until you find the guts to come back into the ramp. Also, minus that shame part. Fly-outs are totally fine. I get to say that stuff like it’s everyone on the show’s opinion cause I write the show notes and I don’t think they read them long enough to ask me to delete the parts where I’m misrepresenting their feelings towards hangtime. On the Pyre we’ve got Red Bull hats and a bunch of other silly shit! What’s up with our Pro-Flow credits songs? They’re fucking weird, but this time the studio just wasn’t working out so we did it a little different. As always our credits music is by Ilana Bryne (@ilana.bryne and naivetrax.bandcamp.com) Our logo and graphic design is by the ever-so talented Michael Worful (@worful) Thank you again, everyone, for listening.

Flowgram #7 Murders Don't Get Solved...People Don't Actually Skate—They Just Talk About It

Ryan Lay

Ted Barrow

Leo Valls

Ryan Lay and Ted Barrow interview Leo Valls at the Pushing Boarders Conference in Malmö, Sweden last month to talk about his panel and the work he's doing back home in Bordeaux. To hear the rest of the interviews ryan conducted, just go to patreon.com/ventcity and you can sign up for either the Rep Flow or Pro Flow tier and you'll have those to listen to while you're doing stuff around the house or switching out bearings alone. Don't listen to podcasts in your headphones around your friends. It's a lame move.

Flowgram #5: Ryan Lay and Ted Barrow Interview Leo Valls about City Hall and Skate Stoppers

What in the complete fuck is up, skaters?This here is the sixteenth full episode of Vent City which originally was a place to talk about skating and all its bullshit and although we don't really use that tag line anymore we do, however, still talk about skating and much of its bullshit. This ep we've got five fine folks—Alex White, Kyle Beachy, Ted Barrow, Ryan Lay and Ted Schmitz—tackling three things at length: Nick Mathews on Huf. It's awesome. It's good. It's encouraging to see a talented young non-coastal sk8r get some shine. We don't fully know what "on Huf" means, but we like that Nick is that. We briefly touch the AO piece in GQ with a ten-foot pole only before realizing, there's not a whole lot there and that it just made Ted S—who is currently writing to you—kind of insecure about his own hotness compared to the chiselled Jesus.  Anyway, why do outside publications think skaters who every now and then drink water and stretch are so fascinating? We get into that as well. Moving on, we talk about Jenkem CEO, CFO, COO, and probably also Head of HR, Ian Michna on a different podcast. Mostly just to have a discussion about the corrupting influence of advertising in media and alternative funding models and how goddamn hard it is for the skate economy to keep it's head above water without the big four pairs of shoes helping out. Anyway, buy Vans and Welcome or REAL boards. We're not paid to say that but who gives a shit. I'm the one who gets to write these and I thought it was funny. There will be no links to the things we discuss because you probably already saw them. Actually, here's the Nick Mathews part just in case you're confused: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QnaiF5bo4EOk, that's it. More shows soon. We love you. Music by: Ilana Bryne (naivetrax.bandcamp.com) Logo and Graphic Design: Michael Worful (@worful) As always, thank you to our kind supporters on Patreon.

What in the complete fuck is up, skaters? This here is the sixteenth full episode of Vent City which originally was a place to talk about skating and all its bullshit and although we don't really use that tag line anymore we do, however, still talk about skating and much of its bullshit. This ep we've got five fine folks—Alex White, Kyle Beachy, Ted Barrow, Ryan Lay and Ted Schmitz—tackling three things at length: Nick Mathews on Huf. It's awesome. It's good. It's encouraging to see a talented young non-coastal sk8r get some shine. We don't fully know what "on Huf" means, but we like that Nick is that. We briefly touch the AO piece in GQ with a ten-foot pole only before realizing, there's not a whole lot there and that it just made Ted S—who is currently writing to you—kind of insecure about his own hotness compared to the chiselled Jesus. Anyway, why do outside publications think skaters who every now and then drink water and stretch are so fascinating? We get into that as well. Moving on, we talk about Jenkem CEO, CFO, COO, and probably also Head of HR, Ian Michna on a different podcast. Mostly just to have a discussion about the corrupting influence of advertising in media and alternative funding models and how goddamn hard it is for the skate economy to keep it's head above water without the big four pairs of shoes helping out. Anyway, buy Vans and Welcome or REAL boards. We're not paid to say that but who gives a shit. I'm the one who gets to write these and I thought it was funny. There will be no links to the things we discuss because you probably already saw them. Actually, here's the Nick Mathews part just in case you're confused: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QnaiF5bo4E" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QnaiF5bo4E</a> Ok, that's it.

#10 How to Skate While Also Being Terrified of Eating Shit

Mimi Knoop

Here is a selected interview Ryan Lay did with Mimi Knoop while at the Pushing Boarders conference. This is just one of five we've put up on our Patreon feed at patreon.com/ventcity. These interviews are just brief discussions to give listeners a sample of the panels we heard and participated in at the conference. In this interview Mimi talks with Ryan about how she helped get the X-Games to give equal pay for the women's division. It's an amazing story and we hope you like it. It's cool to like things.The additional interviews from the full show include Thom Callan-Riley (organizer at Pushing Boarders), Betsy Gordon (helping to catalog skateboarding at the Smithsonian), Indigo WIlling (Ph.D candidate working on what she calls "the new ethics of skateboarding"), and Rick McCrank (he's Rick McCrank).

Flowgram #10 Smashed into the Faces of Their Former Colonies

Cairo Foster

What is up, all you skaters?! Welcome back to another FANTASTIC episode of Vent City, where we talk about bullshit skating, or something like that. You might be thinking, "Didn't I just hear this guy on the Bunt?" Your thoughts are correct, dear listener. But I address that right off the bat in the intro to the show, so you don't need that explained again here. We'll just say that you should listen to their ep with Cairo as well because there is a lot of stuff that doesn't overlap and hearing his retelling of the California Street gap shit is amazing. Also he forgot that Justin Brock three flipped it, which is pretty funny. Some context for today's dicsussion: Ryan Lay and Cairo Foster were teammates on enjoi very briefly, and their friendship has maintained since both have moved to other positions in the skate world. They are both also adults who have navigated the intersection of being a grown up and pro with varying degrees of grace, and they both skated to Built To Spill (which we talk about here because it's very fun to talk about being a grown up and music that is good). We also start with Popwar bracelet talk for some reason. This was a really fun interview and we hope you enjoi it. See what I did there? Also, here's a thing that only a few copy editors know: The brand enjoi prefers to be written all lowercase. And while we're at it, the company REAL goes the for the full caps. Who cares about that kind of stuff? I don't know. Maybe two of you. You don't have to send us a dm if you read all this. I know all seven of you are out there. But if you'd like to know more about brand standards of the skate world, feel free to email ventcitypod@gmail.com and I can tell you the other two I know that have unconventional capitalizations. Music by Ilana Bryne (@ilnan.bryne or naivetrax.bandcamp.com) Logo and Graphic Design by Michael Worful (@worful) Support the show: Patreon.com/ventcity I think I spelled that right this time. Thank you again. And plz don't comment how bad the singing is at the end. We know it sucks and we're gonna keep doing it.

Flowgram #9 London Skateboard Co-op Rethinks the Skateshop Model—Excerpt

Candy Jacobs

What is up, skaters? Welcome back to the 20th goddamn episode of Vent City. On the show, we’ve got Kristin Ebeling form Skate like a Girl on hosting duties, Alex White Brand Manager at Krux and notorious Meme Queen of Instagram and Ted Schmitz who feels weird writing these notes in third person. We’re talking about how we're holding up during these trying times and then get into a Candy Jacobs article/interview on Jenkem by Sander Holsgens, where she talks about paving her own way in skating and the struggles she faced along the way. Check that out here: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2020/04/02/building-skate-career-candy-jacobs/Then we talk Arin Lester’s internet-breaking kicky front tail bigspin and Alex’s decision to get her locked down with some gear. Also, we Pyre a few things, but they’re hard to remember off the top of my head, so listen to that part and remind me. You all are the best listeners we could ask for. Please support the people who help us make this thing.Like, by going and listening to ilana Bryne’s page and listening to her new album. Wondering what that sounds like? Here’s a bit from the album’s description: “Are they simply DJ tools, or are they something more? They're ass-shaking, hip-bumping, head-nodding basement-style tracks presented for your pleasure.”https://shebco.bandcamp.com/track/short-rideIt’s tight. Get there and then go find anything you can by Michael Worful who does our logo and graphic design. It’s very good stuff that will make your wall much nicer. Your wall looks like shit imo, but I guarantee it would be a world-class spectacle once you hang up one of Worful’s sweet, smiling, colorful flowers on it. Well that’s it. I hope you like these intros and if you wanna watch Alexis, Fiske, and PJ with me, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3uv07rei0oQuestions about the show: ventcitypod@gmail.com Support the show: patreon.com/ventcity And send us a DM if you make it to the bottom of this. Pretty sure nobody reads them but they take me like 30-45 minutes to write so I’d like to confirm that I’m wasting my time.
