The Encinitas Podcast Ep 1.2: Get a New Muffler
It is no secret that skateboarding has been a big part of our lives and will probably be an underpinning of every show. Debates and discussions over JT and Darius’ roots on manual pads, flat bars, and empty parking lots of abandoned banks and strip malls throughout Encinitas versus my roots of empty backyard pools, Glen Park Trench, and Cardiff Trench. Good stuff. I see the same division today over which sides claim ownership of the official narrative of what true skateboarding is. Can those who surf ever truly be skateboarders and vice versa? In the mind of an educated, socially responsible adult the answer is “yes.” Yet in our townie sensibility the instinctual-gut answer will forever be “no.”
We are each a different breed, stubbornly burrowed deep into our carved-out trenches created by the generation of stalwarts who preceded us. Each building upon the previous narrative that came before. The animosity between those of us who roll around on 7 ply when the waves are shit versus those who do because we live and breath skateboarding will always lead to a good hometown rivalry. Join us in this podcast as we attempt to peel away the idiosyncratic layers to expose our self-made archetypes of the psychic contents embedded in our personal human experiences… in other words…. we attempt to dig through the roots of our hometown passion for skateboarding as we talk over the ambient sounds of choppers, walkers, and the never-ending hum of the North County Prius army. Some of them could use a new muffler…
For the record, this podcast is a bit older than the last one we posted. This episode is a throw back to an earlier meet up in the fall of 2016 when we were taking an honest attempt at cutting our teeth on this whole idea of having a podcast. A bit raw, seared with a few extra liberties of colorful language, dare I offer a preemptive word of caution and simultaneous apologies for the mild level of profanity that ensues.
Enjoy…
