Episode 15!!!!!  This is a BIG episode, in length and content! Today I have nine, yes, NINE guests on the show! All of them are members of the greatest #skatetwitter group chat that you never knew existed: THE SHOE PANT CHECK. This is the REAL show that has skaters talking, TEN of them actually-all at once! We talk about all types of skateboard stuff, and a bunch of non-skateboard stuff too! It's all hilarious and insightful and at a lot of times chaotic. Big, big, big thanks to all my friends here for coming on-Johnny, Tempest, Jay, Rose, Owen, Brooklyn, Sean, Isaiah, and Pablo, love y'all!!!

Episode 15 Ft The Shoe Pant Check

Dig In

On Episode 3 of Vent City Ryan Lay, Ted Schmitz, Kyle Beachy, Ted Barrow and Kristin Ebeling talk about skateboarding and all its bullshit.

Due to a longer than normal running time, here are some timecodes to help you navigate through the episode if you want to just hear us discuss a specific top or jump to the interview of Bing Liu by Kyle Beachy. 


0:00 - 5:45 a reading by Ted Schmitz dedicated to Pablo Ramirez (aka P Splifff) of the GX1000 squad followed by a short discussion acknowledging his impact 

7:10 show intro 

9:00 Ryan Lay opening and disclaimer about the show

14:00 panel discusses who has the authority to say who is and is not a skater. Ted Schmitz says he’s the authority but he’s wrong about a lot of things 

15:30 panel discusses X-Games Real Street 

16:00 Kristin Ebeling explains how reverse sexism is not the same as sexism 

19:00 more X-Games discussion. The panel gives their votes and discusses LA bias in the selection of contestants 

30:40 panel discusses the video A Day in the Life of Cher by Magdalena Wosinska, a short documentary about the first transgender pro skater. 

It’s fucking amazing, watch the video here: https://vimeo.com/317400509

44:00 Kyle Beachy interviews Bing Liu about his breakthrough success and Academy Award Nominated film Minding the Gap. We still think Free Solo should not have won the Oscar over Bing’s film. 

1:56:15 panel discusses the interview with Bing and the film in general. 

 2:16:40 Funeral Pyre Segment: watching the things we no longer want in skating go out in a glorious blaze 

2:17:20 Ted Barrow throws music in Instagram clips onto the pyre (don’t put so much thought into your post, it’s already corny enough)

2:19:05 Ryan throws in the gamification of wallrides and wallies (don’t let the skatepark kids find the button the every trick in the tasteful street skater’s bag)

2:22:28 Kristin throws unsolicited advice for tricks onto the pyre (the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions)

2:27:00 Kyle bids adieu to ledge tricks to manual (when Koston did it in Mouse, that shit was funny and wasn’t supposed to get all serious)

2:33:00 Ted Schmitz says we gotta burn the practice of sponsoring and promoting little kids (they’re probably not the next Guy or Nyjah, so just avoid the future child labor lawsuit and let them play)

Bing Liu Makes Skaters Cry

What's up skater's? We'll make this quick.

The Southwest dudes (Ted S [the person who writes these notes] and Ryan)sat down with ASU professor and abolitionist Alan Gomez to discuss police and prison abolition strategies and the enduring carceral society we live in. This is a broad talk with a lot of branches so make sure you're ready for a ride. 

Tommy Guerrero was kind enough to join us on a call to discuss the story beyond his now-iconic "End Racism" board from the '80s. (37:35)

Thank you to everyone for listening. We hope this helps.
