In this episode, I speak with longtime Austinite Oompah Fritz, Owner of Fritz Skateboards. Oompah has been a huge contributor to the Austin skate community and always supports DIY community and initiatives to keep skateboarding creative. Through Fritz Skateboards, he carries on his name and always seeks to bring good vibes to any session whether it is at House Park of at his ramp at his house.

In our first episode of Season 4 we speak with Kat. Kat works at The Skate Gym and is also a coach there. In this episode she speaks about her skateboarding origins in Oregon and her journey to Texas. She also speaks on some of the great things, and some of the drawback about being a female skateboarder. Kat brings an amazing style and perspective to skateboarding that many can learn from.

In this episode I interview Sean Haines, the founder of 512 Skate Project. What started out as giving a few boards from his collection to some kids who wanted one for Christmas has turned into a full blown non-profit. In partnership with 100% Skateboarding Sean and the 512 Skate Project crew have helped many kids be able to enjoy Christmas with a good quality skateboard. In some cases these kids have gone on to become sponsored skateboarders and changing the trajectory of their lives.
