As I mention at the start of the episode, AJ was introduced to me via friend of the pod (and friend of me) Eriko Ono who knows AJ from the Portland, OR skate scene. In December, after the podcast was already recorded, we got to meet in person and I got to see Stronger Skatepark myself. It is a special place. I even bought a sweater that is too cool for me to own but I wear it anyway! This is a fun interview and a very open discussion I enjoyed with AJ. I appreciate so much when my guests are willing to talk about things that could be difficult. In addition to talking about the work AJ is passionate about, as a trans man, he was willing to answer some of my questions about his transition which gave me a rare insight into that experience as it will you, the listener. Enjoy the episode and let me know if you visit the skate park! +++++ Find AJStronger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stronger_skatepark Stronger Website: https://www.strongerskatepark.com/ AJ's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a_j_waters +++++ Mentioned in this episode:Skate Like a Girl:

Skateboarding in the redwoods might seem unconventional, but it's a thing. The nonprofit Skate Like a Girl (SLAG) hosts a sleepaway skate camp for women, trans, and nonbinary skaters—in the middle of Sequoia National Forest. We skated with SLAG in Santa Cruz and from the skate park ventured into the Forest of Nisene Marks with squad members Sam Mercado, Jai Ledesma, and Kim Woozy to talk skateboarding, nature, and building inclusive community. Turns out skate culture has some things in common with the redwood forest. Both inspire joy, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

Mascots and symbols have long been used as a source of pride within sports. This can be problematic and stir up issues when a symbol used may be offensive. We have seen this at all levels, from high school and college, all the way to the pros. In relation to Cal State East Bay, the “Pioneer” remains a symbol of the school, yet the visual representation was removed after a recent initiative was put into play. This led to the investigation of the symbol's origins and the conclusion that “Pioneer Pete'' did not promote inclusivity. The “Pioneer”, symbolic of Manifest Destiny, also continues to reinforce native people's displacement and also industrialist/ genocidal impulses. Because sport is powerful in bringing together a community, compassion and understanding alongside the deconstruction of personal beliefs is key to tackling mascot issues. Resources: The Faculty Diversity and Equity Committee discussed East Bay's mascot at & voted to send the attached resolution to the Senate https://www.csueastbay.edu/universitycommunications/files/docs/mascot/faculty-senate-resolution-mascot.pdf On May 10th, 2018, CSU East Bay's Faculty Diversity and Equity Committee (FDEC) passed a resolution to retire the current image of Pioneer Pete. Afterward this resolution headed to CSUEB's Academic Senate and on October 6 the senators voted to remove Pioneer Pete as the mascot: https://www.csueastbay.edu/universitycommunications/mascot/history-of-pioneer-pete.html#:~:text=On%20May%2010th%2C%202018%2C%20CSU,Pioneer%20Pete%20as%20the%20mascot.

The interconnectedness of the mind and the body is important to note within sports and daily life. When there is a disconnect between the body and the mind, there can be problematic consequences. It is important to recognize when an athlete, or any human for that matter, is struggling with their mental health. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness and it should not be portrayed in a negative light. Mental health concerns are real and addressing these concerns should include a holistic approach, prioritizing both the mind and body. Let's make sport a positive vessel for implementing a beautiful change within society to support athletes and their mental health, alongside their physical health.

Ep.07 Soy Sauce Nation Part 2 with Sima Safavi-Bayat & Sadie Maeda In June of 2021, Soy Sauce Nation, an Asian snowboard community focused on bringing more inclusivity into snowboarding and beyond hosted the first ever "Soy Sauce Nation'als" event at Timberline Resort at Mt. Hood, Oregon. Kim chats with her friends and colleagues Sima Safavi-Bayat and Sadie Maeda, who she attended the event with. They reflect on their different experiences growing in America, how snowboarding and skateboarding came to be a huge part of their lives and how the action sports/skate/snow industry can move forward together. About Sima Safavi-Bayat: Sima Safavi-Bayat (she/her) is currently the Skateboarding Inclusivity Cooperate (S.I.C.) Program Manager for Skate Like a Girl and has played various other roles within the organization since 2014. She grew up in a small town in Washington where she first was introduced to snowboarding and skateboarding. Working in shops in her late-teens and early 20s, Sima had a one-foot-in-one-foot-out presence in the snow industry. Being an ambiguous brown gal (Indonesian and Persian), Sima had a hard time seeing herself in the "scenes" she was in. She is an open book who wears her experiences and emotions on her sleeve and sticks to the idea that the biggest impact you have is within your own community. Sima hopes that having these conversations, the sad, the good, the bad and the laughs, help others feel more comfortable with themselves and opens up the door, even just a crack, for others to also be able to express and communicate their experiences and feelings. About Sadie Maeda: Sadie (she/her) is a marketing professional who has dedicated her career to working behind the scenes to create more opportunities for women in the action sports industry. She is deeply passionate about connecting, empowering, and creating a larger sense of community for women in a male-dominated industry. She's worked with brands such as Nikita Clothing, MAHFIA.TV, Slmbr Party, Yobeat, Launch Snowboards, and more.

When I sat down and listened to Skate Like a Girl's leadership interview each other, I was only just beginning the PMA journey. The idea to interview my friends Krisin Ebeling and Nancy Chang was an almost simultaneous occurrence with the notion to start this magazine. When Kristin shocked me by showing me her PMA tattoo, I took it as as sign from the universe that I was on the right path and must do this.Listen to these two incredible women discuss the genesis of their organization, how they found their way into serving others, and how community-building and leadership can evolve into living your very best life.

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.

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?

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.
