How would Casper do a casper? What would your skateboard say if it were embarrassed by you? Would putting rusty nails through the underside of your tail make you a better skateboarder?
These are the questions we tackle this week on the podcast, when we are joined by freestyle skateboarder, comic-book artist and architect Monica Ioansdóttir. Monica passionately talks us through her journey into skateboarding, the community which welcomed her with open arms, the way that art can provide a perfect outlet for our shared experiences as skateboarders and the complex, changing relationship between skateboarding and femininity.
It really is a festival of wholesome crap this week. As Monica Says herself; this one's for the randos. Because, and I quote, "Freestyle skateboarders are not right in the head. They're all not right in the head. But...in a good way."
