We will all remember where we were when the Milton Martinez "Demolicion!" part dropped. It lived up to the hype and pretty much solidified him winning SOTY this year. Game over. Done. I discuss his video, the rest of the Encore video, and also talk a little about skateboard raps inspired by a recent Jenkem article. If you are digging the show, please leave a positive review so more peeps can discover it. Appreciate the support.

It was yet another amazing week for skateboarding. I shed some light on a cool event that went down in Vancouver, Canada, geek out over how awesome Tiago's "Encore" part is, and, once again, ponder whether or not skateboarding has peaked in regards to the magnitude of tricks being pumped out on a daily basis.

Welcome back. I'm bummed that I didn’t get to talk about Chico’s latest footage this week, but I made up for it by talking about new NMP hoodies, WBATB drama and the awesome "How Tyshawn Jones Became Skater of the Year" documentary. @rickbata on Twitter and Instagram

About a week and a half ago one of the most memorable events went down at the Berrics and nobody is talking about it. Nobody. I discuss that, the departure of two prominent Plan B riders, and a cool prison inmate skateboard art program that is going down in Fresno, CA. Thanks for tuning in!

Let's face it, the mainstream news media is going to attempt to cover skateboarding all the way up to the 2020 Olympics and we're just going to have to deal with it. Pedro Barros is going to step down soon and we lost another L.A. legend over the weekend.

Have to be honest in that this episode was a tough one to get through. Starting off with the good -- I'm finally back on the Thrasher magazine train as I finally received my first issue. X Games Minneapolis went down over the weekend and the world saw the first ever 1260. And finally, I address the latest downward spiral of Bam Margera that also happened over the weekend.

This week I jump into the #TonyHawkWeek conversation/tribute. Tony Hawk is a living legend and is still crushing the Berrics at the ripe age of 51.

Thanks for tuning in. It's been a full decade since we lost the late, great Tim "Beans" Brauch. He was a San Jose ripper who was probably one of the most humble and rad dudes I ever met. I discuss some of my interactions with him over the years, the Vans Combi Pool results, and break down the 8 minute and 26 seconds My War: Clive Dixon clip, but you'll be surprised who I thought stole the show in that video.

This week I break down the X Games Real Street competition, #NationalDoAKickflipDay, share an awesome new female rider I have on my radar, and divulge my concern about my favorite skater of all-time having a Boosted board in his possession.
P.S. Noticed when editing that I seemed to have left out Corey Glick. I did have him in my notes, but must have had a brain fart. His trick @ :30 is what's up.

Once again the skateboarding industry took a huge loss in the passing of Pablo Ramirez. He was a rare rider who gave it all, every time. 100% skateboarder to the core. Rest easy, P-Spliff. Andy Roy has an awesome podcast and I have a crazy thought about a potential skateboarding draft down the road. Yeah, I went there.

That's right, I said it. Shane O'Neill is bad for skateboarding. I break down why and how if nothing changes in the near future it will be extremely detrimental to the sport. Max Geronzi had me wanting to bust out with a Puma windbreaker and shout out to Josh Hanson (@joshhanson1) for his courage during a very difficult time in his life.

I finally get around to talking about the huge loss skateboarding took in the passing of Jake Phelps. R.I.P. He was 100% skateboarder 24/7/365. I then do a quick recap of the Tommy Sandoval 'Nine Club Episode', discuss how Bucky Lasek is now a goofy footed rider and how I'd love to be one of Lincoln Ueda's shoes for just a day.

Welcome back. In this episode I talk about how insane skateboarding has gotten. With the amount of NDB and crazy tricks that have gone down as of late I question whether or not the sport has peaked in regards to its limits. We are living in the "Video Game Era" of skating in 2019. Then Bam Part 2. Boo Johnson had a plate date with L.A. and more. Follow @rickbata on Twitter and Instagram.
In this episode I formally apologized to Jonah Hill. I also channeled my inner Siskel & Ebert (Google it, kids) and broke down a couple skateboarding movies. Gave a huge shout out to the fine folks at The Nine Club -- "The best thing to happen to skateboarding in a long, long time." and more. Visit www.nomongo.com for more info!
On this episode I ended up talking about two different people named Dan. Dan Mancina who is an awesome skater who can keep up with all the latest tricks. Oh, and by the way he's 95% blind. A true inspiration. I then shift to a very unfortunate incident that occurred late 2018, but the ramifications of the event were life-changing. Dan Jansen is a security guard in San Francisco and was attacked by a pro skater who happened to use his board as a weapon.
That's right, you read that right. Tony Hawk is going to broadway. Will it be the next Hamilton? Congrats to Louie Lopez on getting your own billboard. 2018 Trick of the Year congrats to Milton Martinez and more. Follow me @rickbata on Twitter and Instagram.
My follow up episode has me covering the latest Tech Deck model that is a game changer. And, even you can become a professional fingerboarder...or at least try and get some flow! Bam Margera is having some rough times and we are all just living in Nyjah's world. Thanks for stopping by.
In this first episode I do a quick intro on my background and passion for this crazy sport we call skateboarding. Then I waste no time going right into a couple of polarizing topics such as skateboarding in the Olympics and also whether or not street skaters should (or ever will) rock helmets -- inspired by Jamie Foy's near death experience. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to interacting with you.
