Filthy Fiesta 3 is going down at noon on Oct. 12 at Third and Army in San Francisco Calif. The last two events have been hella fun because they’re not competitions. They’re fiestas.

Phil, Cameron, ESG and I talk about past events, including the beloved long-jump contest complete with motorized acceleration. We find out what’s in store this time… which could include getting roped, winning a loaf, and skating a BJ Bernhardt custom DIY obstacle.

Nate Herse is an engineer and a rollerblader who made some frames called Akerue that look like aluminum skeletons. He tells us about his thought process behind their design and construction and what it will take to make them available to the rest of us. We skated them and had a lot of fun.

Two years ago, Brian "BFree" Freeman started skating every day, first recording clips using a shoe tripod and soon developing a thesis: Let’s Get It Forever.

Rock Town Podcast Co-Host Levi Sebastian talks with BFree before one of his three sessions on Day 731, his two-year anniversary. They talk about inspiration, the Bfree Blading Academy, demos at Oakland’s First Fridays and more. (Krans interjects some history on Town Park, where the interview took place.)

Grant Hazelton is a skater out of Rochester, New York, who was in the Bay Area for the Gold Comp. Despite feeling under the weather that day, he was still able to skate some iconic spots in the area and spend some time talking (and skating) with Rock Town co-host Levi Sebastian.
