Riding for Polar and Converse, Aaron's skating is well known from his video parts representing a New York City approach to spot & trick selection definitive of East Coast skateboarding. After undergoing a serious knee-injury that led to a full ACL reconstruction, Aaron is nearly back at 100%. He speaks openly about how the downtime inherent to professional skateboarding has led to both alcohol use and mental health struggles; using practices such as writing and therapy to consistently improve upon the situation. Aaron is back skating in full, having gone on a recent Polar trip to the United Kingdom.

Alcohol will be the end of you if you let it. I've definitely had my experiences with it. It's nice to hear what others have gone through. Boredom and anxiety mostly drove my desire to drink. Anyway, I enjoyed this. Aaron seems like a solid dude. Great skater.

i REALLY love these podcasts man, the one with BA was so fucking dope. what i really love about it is that the interviewer doesn't make himself as the centerpiece but just lets the guest speak, its wonderful.

The flow on effect to impressionable youth is real! I've experienced and seen it first hand. Early 2000's PD era massively influenced my friends and I to start drinking heavily and often, they were our idols and it seemed like skating and drinking went hand in hand. I personally don't think I would ever have seen it in that light had I not watched those skate vids as nothing else I've come across or been interested in glorified it like that. Struggled with it for years, and know people I grew up with who still are.

Who's the 10 year old podcaster. I am 52. Skated with Gonz, Muzikant, Fortune, Matt Beach, (zorlac) Natas, Red. Guys skateboarding is not a career. Once 25, your next competition is a 13 year old doing everything switch, faster and smoother. Enjoy skateboarding for the passion. Most pros with sponsorships make less than minimum wage. Seek a life. Your time is limited.

Yeah, that can totally give you a reason to self medicate. Especially, the flying and not having a traditional job.

Are you allowed to rock climb being a professional skater? What about insurance?

@blackhelicoptermfg Месяц назад

Rock climbing is way safer than skateboarding by a country mile.
