EP 51: There's no Cheating in Skateboarding
Tuesday Feb 18, 2020

The Houston Astros became MLB's most hated team this past week after admitting to cheating for years. This got my wheels turning (no pun intended) in wondering if skateboarding will ever have a similar incident. Also, find out who the latest face of Bitcoin is going to be, as well as, hear my thoughts on Kris Burkhardt's latest "Hum" video. All this packed into episode #51. Enjoy.

EP 49: Adult Men Should Skateboard
Tuesday Feb 04, 2020
Tuesday Feb 04, 2020
The 49ers didn't win the Super Bowl, but we did get to see some interesting commercials -- a couple of them even included some well-known skateboarders. Hear my thoughts on that, as well as, a recent article from the Jezebel website that pissed off a few riders, and whether or not underage kids should be allowed to turn pro. Chime in on social media @rickbata on Twitter and Instagram.
Also, shout out to The Skatefulness Podcast. Be sure to give them a listen!
