No connivance. No contrivance. Plain, clear, simple podcasting. This month on Vert Button we break down the Flip classic "Sorry" with the one and only Kristin Ebeling and we still don't know which one of Mark Appleyard's biceps is bigger. Enjoy or die.

What's up, skaters?! Welcome back to another episode of Vent City. Logging on to talk all the good and the bad from 2021, we got Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, Ted Barrow and Ted Schmitz. Is it really easy to forget what happened last year? Yes. Did we remember and catalog everything that was noteworthy? Also, yes—no exceptions. We get into the good stuff with skate parts from our favorite people like Max Wheeler, Jacopo Carozzi and Breana Geering. Then the bad stuff like NFTs and the fact that we are stuck in the slow decline of a dying empire! Maybe not that last part, but it's still true. And of course, the question on everyone's mind: Is Cariuma going to save the planet? No. But luckily, skating with the people you love is still pretty much the coolest thing. Listen to this show and if you disagree with any points we bring up on the episode, talk to your folks about it.

What's up, skaters?! Here we have another skateboarding and current events discussion in light of the episode at the Capitol. We do a little talk about how we felt watching the coverage, and look into the ways life lessons from skateboarding are used in icky ways by right-wingy goofballs like Tim Pool and Jordan Peterson. Does skateboarding reinforce the popular virtues of Individualism by making you solely responsible for your own success and failure? Or do the bootstrappers miss the point that if anything from skating is really important to your wellbeing, it's that it plugs you into a communal, collective effort of fun having? That sentence was probably poorly written. Who cares, you know what I'm saying. Join Ted Schmitz—the author of these show notes and weird third-person-voice user—Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, and returning guest Alan Gomez as they discuss the intersection of right wing grifters and skating. Oh yeah, we also talk about our favorite silly skate moments of 2020. This shit's fun but maybe don't play it around your kids, 'cause we say the fuckin' eff word a few times. I'm not gonna link to the videos we talk about. You can look em up if you're a real sicko. For a VERY good piece about the things we talk about, please read Hanson O'Haver's article on the Baffler.

What's up, skaters?! Today on Vent City we've got three regulars and a guest! You already know Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, and Alex White. And actually you might already know our guest Marbie Miller who is a full-time skater for There Skateboards and many other fine companies. Anyway, we had the privilege and the pleasure to talk with Marbie and her little scene growing up in Iowa and of course the slightly bigger scene in Wisconsin. "Stay Gold" premiere stories? Yeah, they're in there. What about getting jacked with Jeff from There? Yep, we talk about it too. Oh, and we play SOTY and the SHOTY (Skate Hottie Of The Year). And this was recorded before the Mason news, so if you have something to say about that, maybe don't? Or do. I don't really give a shit, but it would be cooler if you didn't. Trick challenge: THE NOLLIE VARIAL FLIP! Thank you again, everyone, for listening. We'll be back with a year-end wrap up shortly.

Hello Skaters, Are you feeling remotely human? We hope so, but we understand if your sense of humanness is off-kilter. Rather than talking about world-collapsing forces like the unchecked advance of razor-toothed, bloodthirsty capitalists or a pretty good Antihero video, we at Vent City thought our time with you would be better spent conceptualizing a utopia. Yes, Professor—and man I once described on the Thrasher site as “firebrand novelist”—Kyle Beachy leads a discussion with Kristin Ebeling, Ted Barrow and Ted Schmitz about THE PERFECT SKATE SPOT. And if you are reading this before listening, I encourage you to take a moment to think of your immaculate plaza or parking lot or whatever. And then answer this question: Why are you reading the show notes before listening? You’re weird. Though the panel differs slightly on what ideal sessions would look like and what players would constitute the perfect crew, one thing emerges as absolutely true—you must do a frontside noseslide for the trick challenge. Do it, or die trying. Actually, it’s not not worth dying over…maybe not even worth getting sweaty over. But it might be fun and we hope to share that experience of fun. Nothing gets set ablaze on that beautiful future-banning bonfire which we have come to know and love as the Funeral Pyre segment, because this is a rare exercise in building up a brightly reimagined skateboarding. As always, whatever I, the latter Ted, said on the show is probably wrong but I get to write the notes so I’ll leave you with the answer to the perfect spot. It’s that 20 stair in DC that Bobby tried to ollie. As always!

Live mas, skaters.

What's up, skaters?! Welcome back to another Vent City. On the show, we have Kristin Ebeling, Kyle Beachy, Ted Schmitz and Ryan Lay talking about the thing we all know and love—song choices in video parts! Yes, it's true. This is not just a full hour of pants banter and meandering discussions on proper skatepark design. We already did that, I think. This time we take a look at Tiago's new New Balance Numeric part called something like "A trustable fellow with sick-ass running shoes." Is it his best part ever? You'll have to listen to find out if we think so. But also, no, it's not. It's fine. There are some weird effects and song choices that we talk about though and it's really fun. Also, there is some talk of Beagle's My War that you might've watched. It's fun, you should. Unless you have better things to do, in which case just imagine what it would be like and have us drown your thoughts out with our criticism. Honestly, we're not telling you how to live your life, most of the time. What items from skateboarding get thrown onto the funeral pyre, never to emerge in skating ever again? Well we don't have the power to make that happen but we have a fun time goofing on Qanon skaters, non-skate journalism, Tony Hawk's agent and something that Ryan said but I can't remember right now. Anyways, we hope you like this, and if you don't maybe take out your frustration with the show by organizing a food drive in your area. So that's mostly it.

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-ride It’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=U3uv07rei0o Questions 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.

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&feature=emb_title Oh, 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.

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&feature=youtu.be Also, 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.

And yeah, I'm gonna link it. https://www.patreon.com/ventcity Sincerely though, we thank each an every one of you for listening. We love you a lot.

Welcome Back to Vent City. Not really sure why I put the capital "B" in the "Back," but that's what you get when you fuck with show notes. On today's show that was recorded last week, we have Kristin Ebeling, Alex White, Ted Schmitz, Ted Barrow, and Ryan Lay. *Warning* This episode contains discussion of the 2020 Democratic primary by five bonafide nonpundits. We Bern it down by discussing a few reason's why you should maybe consider being a Skater for Bernie. We also talk a lot about Baker 4 which, like everyone else in the skate-nerd community, we waited patiently to come out on its own dedicated page on the Thrasher site. It's a fun talk. We also talk things you can support!

It got a little TOO loose on the intro of this ep and got really sidetracked with a discussion on Yoni Eggs (blame Katie’s massage therapist Gail), but then things got back on board with a game where Allison quizzes Katie on common action sports terms. Then for the main review, the gals get into a really amazing discussion with Kristin Ebeling of Skate Like A Girl. They review how it feels to be a non-straight white cis dude in the sport, and have a frank convo about how it’s evolving in the era of #MeToo and “cancel culture”, activism and the push for more equity and inclusion, and the work folks like Kristin are doing to make skating more safe for all.Follow Kristin on social: @andawhamybarFollow Skate Like A Girl: @skatelikeagirl and check out their website: Skate Like A GirlGot something to get off your chest?

Fellow Skaters, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity that we present this recording, as a living testament and recollection of history in the making during our generation. Allow us to re-introduce ourselves, our name is Vent City. V to the E-N-T-C-I-T-Y. On this episode you will hear Kristin Ebeling, Ted Barrow, Kyle Beachy, and Ted Schmitz say many words about our current skate of affairs...or maybe state of the skation? Skate of the skation? This week we have a discussion about many things we think are good in skating which are listed below with the corresponding links. We also have a discussion about Kristin's recent trip to Vancouver to talk with other folks working with social skate projects. Then we go into the topic of mental health and give some insight to our personal experiences and struggles. We also sort of talk about Milton Martinez for a second and also the Primitive video in the Funeral Pyre segment. No trick challenge this week cause we forgot. Maybe we'll have two next week. Here's what we think is good in skating. Buy these, read these if you want to enjoy some non-video-part skate radness.

Whilst skaters all over the world fight to save their favourite spots from destruction, some cities are actively integrating skateboarding into public space. In this panel, pro skaters, architects and policy planners discuss the pros and cons of what happens when we try to make our cities more sustainably ‘skate-friendly’. Panel: Leo Valls, Kristin Ebeling, Dr. Karin Book (University of Malmö), Fredrik Angner (White Arkitekter) Chairs: Prof. Ocean Howell & Gustav Eden (Skate Malmö)

#10 How to Skate While Also Being Terrified of Eating Shit For the listener who asked, "Why are the episodes always so late?" This one's for you. Kristin Ebeling, Alex White, Ted Schmitz, Kyle Beachy, and Ryan Lay sit down for a fireside discussion about Alex and Kristin's article, Coping with Creeps, on Bigfoot Magazine's site. Read the whole thing here https://bigfootskatemag.com/coping-with-perverts/?v=7516fd43adaa We also talk month old skate news like Reynolds leaving Emerica, Women's Street League and a Tyler Surrey part we hope you remember. The editor of this fair podcast says there will be more shows this week so stay tuned! Music by Ilana Bryne (@ilana.bryne and naivetrax.bandcamp.com) Graphic Design by Michael Worful (@worful)

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.

Hey Skaters, In the sixth episode of Vent City, the cast (Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, Ted Barrow, Kyle Beachy, and Ted Schmitz) talk Alexis Sablone's Thrasher interview by Elissa Steamer and whether skating is enough to keep someone happy. They go over some already covered ground about pads and shame, that hopefully uncovers something exciting. Dew Tour had a remarkably young podium for the Women's division and they talk about how these young skaters are pushing the limits. Misugu Okamoto and Kokona Hiraka are both under 15 and winning/placing alongside well established skaters like Lizzie Armanto. Music in this episode was provided by the amazing Ilana Bryne (naivetrax.bandcamp.com & @ilana.bryne on Instragram)

Welcome back to Vent City. Our tagline is something like “a place to talk about skateboarding and all its bullshit,” which pretty much covers what goes on in this episode. First up, we are excited to announce that we have launched a Patreon for fans of the show to support the show and access some exclusive content (www.patreon.com/ventcity). This will help us work on the show more and take a few shifts off a month to focus on the production and editing. We’ll make some stickers too and get those to you if you sign up. We have two tiers: Rep Flow ($5/month) will get you extra Patreon-only content and some bragging rights; Pro Flow ($20/month) for the die-hards out there who are maybe too down for the show. Pro flow will get you a shoutout on every episode as well as access to the sweet extra content and hell, if we see you out in the real world, we’ll buy you a drink (coffee, beer, tea, soda, water or even a Red Bull) As for the discussion in this episode: Kristin Ebeling, Ted Barrow, Kyle Beachy, Ted Schmitz and Ryan Lay talk Nike’s Gizmo and a bunch of other cool stuff. Kristin conducted and wrote the Gizmo interviews is this month’s Thrasher, so do yourself a favor and pick that up. The feature of this episode is an interview Ryan Lay with some of the key players at Skate Pal (Charlie Davis, Aram Sabbah and Theo Krish), an NGO doing incredible work in the West Bank in Palestine. They talk their mission to support young people in Palestine through skateboarding by building skateparks and growing the skate scene in the region. To learn more about or to support Skate Pal with their amazing work go to http://www.skatepal.co.uk Volunteer, donate, spread the word. Following the interview, the panel discusses Ryan’s conversation and then casts a few things out of skateboarding in the Funeral Pyre segment. Kyle thinks we could do with less of the travel-based skateboarding that feels disconnected from the skaters’ deep relationship with the place or its history—Shanghai’s marble landscape comes to mind. Ryan is over long back smiths that are just like funky 5050s. Kristin invites people to find some more inclusive vocabulary to address non-male skaters by casting off the term “female skateboarding.” Ted Barrow thinks we could do better by not confusing the world of skateboarding with the act of skateboarding—hear him out! Ted Schmitz’s insecurities about his own output in skating make him throw Jacob Elliott Harris of Atlantic Drift onto the pyre—Harris is just too good at everything and is making people look bad. This one is a doozie, coming in around three hours.

What's up, skaters. Welcome back to another episode of Vent City—a place to talk about skating and all its bullshit. Full original cast on the show this episode: Kristin Ebeling, Ryan Lay, Ted Schmitz, Kyle Beachy and Ted Barrow. We talk about the tenth Wheels of Fortune event in Seattle put on by Kristin, Skate Like a Girl and their partners. We also discuss the Actions Realized board by Real Skateboards and Unity Skateboarding. More things are talked about, like, what's up with that last Birdhouse video? The Funeral Pyre segment this week reduces to ash the practices of filming cops do kickflips and dehumanizing people experiencing homelessness. In a bankshot, Kyle Beachy throws in skaters not buying things print—buy the print mags and zines and donate them to Lookback Library when you need space. Ted Barrow casts off his switch varial heels in front of a camera and the other Ted says skaters turning into bikers (both kinds) are out. Listen, tell us nice thing or ways we fucked up at ventcitypod@gmail.com. Thank you.
