Cameron Talbott recently got his first rollerblading product with his name on it: a 60-millimeter wheel from Sic Urethane. Since Philip Moore also has a pro wheel from Sic, we needed to sit down and talk. We talk about what projects they're working on, DIY skate parks, and wheelbarrows.

Theresa Choi is a 17-year veteran rollerblader who actually did her first grind BEFORE she could even skate. We talk about the daunting task of finding skates that fit small feet and her first time competing at the Blading Cup.  

But we mostly got together to discuss a Blading Cup-exclusive pin inspired by a 1991 Playboy cover. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear the reaction from the person behind the pin itself.

We want this podcast to be part of a larger conversation and, thanks to rollerblading and the people in it, we’re able to continue towards a more inclusive future.
