Not feeling this season at the moment. Half of that is definitely on me because I just don’t have my ear to the ground as much as I used to so a lot of the names being mentioned go over my head. That said, unfortunately a lot of guys’ routes into skateboarding and time in the insurer are incredibly similar so the conversations don’t necessarily hold things up on their own. Find myself waiting for rapid fire and listeners messages a lot of the time, looking forward to JT Aultz!

jt aultz episode was pretty good. it was nice to hear from him since it feels like he kinda just faded out. it's cool he got a job working at bbs but i wish they could have touched on that/ending his pro career a little more. glad everything worked out for him after that injury and was able to come back to film a few more parts. i went back to watch some of his parts afterward and forgot how much i liked his style. his pot brownie story with damian bravo and picking felix arguelles as worst style were funny.

JT Aultz's head injury story is terrifying, but that was a pretty good episode. I agree with his rapid fire worst style pick. And his biggest bunt story was a gem. I haven't done a proper nose wheelie since my ankle surgery since I'd need to balance so much on my bad leg, but I watched a couple of his parts and got psyched to relearn them.

Definitely just you. I love when the names from way back pop up. Half of them I really just wonder who's doing alright and how they ended their careers and whatnot especially since there was no social media to broadcast shit. Haven't finished the Aultz interview yet but it's been dope so far.

I have no issues with them interviewing guys who’ve been out of the game for awhile.. I just felt they’ve been heavy on that era of the Real team.  Get an old Toy, Shorty’s, Workshop, etc rider.

I’d rather hear them interview older (former) pros that they’re actually hyped on than a younger flavor of the month skater that they don’t really know.

Agree with you because ex/former pros have more histories to tell, and can shot some fire to anyone being outside of the industry now. Something that not all the younger flavor will do to keep safe their carreer.

Sure, that's true as well, but ultimately I think you should be genuinely interested in the subject that you are interviewing. They've gotten plenty of good interviews out of younger skaters because they cared enough to.

Kind of disagree here: sure he's a suburban Cali kid but he has to have good stories and he seems like a guy who's not holding back too much and being overly correct. I'd say he's pretty good Bunt material.

I’d fully agree here. Mike mo came up in a good era with stories around legends. He also has a seemingly dry and off putting sense of humor while being slightly self deprecating about his own tricks. I think this could be gold between him and the bunt boys.

3:33 in this. He fakie varial flipped it as well which is even sicker. No idea how I remember this, I have no memory of watching the part before I just remember those two tricks.


Mike Mo seems to have a good head on his shoulders, more self deprecating than I was expecting.

I can gladly say I was wrong. I listened to the first 30 minutes this morning and didn’t want to turn it off.

Good episode but im sort of bummed Mike Mo doesn’t really skate much, if at all.., anymore and is seemingly more hyped on golf.

I mean, he physically basically can't skate anymore and he's said on multiple occasions that it's not enjoyable for him anymore because it's frustrating and disappointing to not be able to skate how he used to.

That episode was excellent.

That's fair, I remember him mentioning all that on the nine club. I guess I find it hard to understand because skating at the level he can probably skate at now, although not as good as before, would be a dream for me or the average skater.

I am sure mike mo is also bummed too lol. don't think he planned on prematurely ending his career driving a golf cart at a skateboard camp. just like any other human that has to stop doing what they love, he probably needed to channel that energy he was putting into his skating into something else that makes him happy

gonna peep this epi today

I don't think it's just not being as good. Prior to that he already had a ton of ankle injuries. And catestrophic trauma to the mix and even doing simple shit could lead to your ankle blowing up with swelling.

Interesting to hear another guy on Crail talk about how he was bummed on Pretty Sweet and how his footage was used. I remember people saying at the time Mike-Mo wasn't happy with the song choice. He came off way more mature and normal than some of his other interviews and getting to talk in depth about the questionable aspects of skate culture/buisness like the promoting of partying drinking, the lack of longevity, lack of insurance, taking the highest paying shoe sponsor etc was very refreshing to hear.

Maybe one of my favourite episodes of all time. The conversation flowed real well, and had me laughing a couple times. Coulda been longer. Would be cool to get him back on later.

It’s been said many times, some of the best guests are people no longer sponsored.
