Ryan "RJ" Johnson checks in with stories about growing up in the under rated Fresno skateboard scene with the likes of AP, the Paez bros, Tom Knox, Karma and more. We catch up big time, it's been over 20 years! Subject matter ranges from Consolidated days, New Deal, turning pro, his two cover shots, old days with McKenney and Panch and much more... Great to reconnect with Ryan and I think you can hear that in this episode.
