<p>When any foolhardy person decides to take up skateboarding as a hobby, they must first decide which discipline best suits them. Street? Vert? Pool? I think that's it. No? There's more?</p> <p>Freestyle? What's that? Never heard of it. Oh, wait...Is that the thing from that Bones Bridage video, with that Johnny Rad guy at that party?&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay. So it's clear that I know next to nothing about Freestyle. I'm going to need some help from a professional.&nbsp;</p> <p>Enter professional Freestyle skateboarder Tony Gale, to figuritely slap my wrist and correct all of the misconceptions I have about freestyle skateboarding. Tony speaks with great knowledge and passion about the definition of freestlye, its rise to prominance, its subsequent downfall and, through social media, its recent re-emergence. Not only that, but, in doing so, he takes down the all-too-comfortable skateboarding elite, discusses the perceived pros and cons of gatekeeping and recounts many lovely stories of days gone by.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh! And James is still buking off on his honeymoon, so the brilliant Monica (our resident third crap skateboarder and tee-shirt designer) takes on co-hosting duties. The whole thing was a blast!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Check out Tony Gale on Instagram: www.instagram.com/coldkennels&nbsp;</p> <p>Youtube: www.youtube.com/c/FreestyleTricktips</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
