I am so stoked to announce the premiere of the next #DOD45 episode featuring my discussion with @RonAllensk8, former @HStreetSkateboards team member, co-founder of @AmericanDreamIncorporated & widely considered to be the first sponsored African American pro-skater. Still shreddin’ at the age of 58, Ron is a huge inspiration to me & has put to bed my fears of “aging out”. If you’ve ever stood on a board, still ride a board or even have an inkling of appreciation for skateboarding, don’t miss this episode. “It’s an art-form, I think”. ⬅️(that’s a #ShackleMeNot reference) Ron has been one of my long time idols in the world of #skateboarding and it was a true honor to have him on my show. I draw Ron a graff-sk8-cat while he candidly speaks on life as a pro-skater. We discuss the importance of skate shops, Ron’s 1st hand experiences of racism in his early days of skating, how he ended up on H-Street, his amazement when one of his idols @EddieElguera joined the H-Street team, making a hip hop track with @TommyGuerrero & so, so, so much more. I try & shake him up right at the start with a fun #SophiesChoice of @TonyHawk or #TonyMagnusson….This is really an episode ya should not miss. It’s an extended-time one too… . #artbytai #podcast #skateboard #skater #sk8 #hstreet #drawingoverdiscussions #penart #skateart #artpodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/CQygujtBN2d/?utm_medium=tumblr
