Listen as Orb and I discuss growing up in SF, Rainbow skateshop turning into Fogtown, CBS, living with Tommy Guerrero, the folklore of the number 43, that magical scene in Powell's "Search For Animal Chin" where he says 'Maps to the Skater's Holmes', skateboarding in the avenues, getting his helmet crushed by Cooksie, Fort Miley, Joey McSqueeb, moving down south and living with Natas Kaupas, being a chef at World Industries during the Big Brother era, Skatemaster Tate and Skate TV days, and much more. Been wanting this one for a while now and all the stars aligned as episode 143 approached-thanks so much for sharing your story Orb, the pleasure was all mine.
