I blatantly rip off Craig Spaven's most recent podcast topic and talk about skates I had growing up. Thanks Craig! And sorry. Outgrowing your skates. When your skates get stolen. AT soul plate mod, in 1995. Some of the first ever skates designed for aggressive skating/grinding. Ryan jacklone, inline skater magazine.
