ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Alexis Sablone came up with PJ Ladd, Jereme Rogers, and Ryan Gallant through the Coliseum video in 2002, and skated for The Firm and éS during her early career. She walked away from sponsored skateboarding to go to college before reemerging on the contest circuit several years later, and ultimately winning three X Games Gold Medals to date. Sablone used her contest earnings to get her masters in architecture from MIT. From there, she turned pro for WKND, designed a skateable sculpture in Malmö, and is that newest addition to the Converse CONS team. Lee Smith gets the lowdown on how she’s accomplished so much in such a short period of time in Mission Statement 07.

Rick McCrank has an unlikely success story. It begins in Ottawa in the ‘80s. The timing and location don’t provide a clearly visible path to skateboarding superstardom. The culture was still in its infancy; and Ottawa might as well have been Mars in terms of getting on anyone’s radar during those w…
Zered Bassett’s tenure as a central figure of East Coast skateboarding spans generations. In many ways, he represents the bridge between the old New York and the new.
