Going to the Physio—Episode 207

In this episode I talk to Sam Fogarty about his recent leadership in events like the Australian World Skate Games qualifiers in March 2026 and the Australia Cup 2027; as well as preparing to compete in the World Skate Games in Italy in 2024 and Paraguay, very soon, in 2026. Apologies for the poor quality audio to the end of the interview!

A quick episode talking about how great it is to rollerblade.

My experiences of going to the physio for skating-related injuries.

Catch up on serious injuries, current team, new and forthcoming developments.

A second episode talking with Tasmanian vert skating champion Shane Yost. In this episode we answer a few questions from the metaphorical mailbag, talk about building a backyard vert ramp, the World Rollerblading Titles, the Launceston Toilet Bowl skatepark, opposite 1080s, forward 1260s and more.

Shane Yost shares his origin story from mid-90s in Launceston, Tasmania, to joining the Coca-Cola Tasmania Island Skaters team, to competing as a pro skate, sponsored by Roces, in the ASA.

A brief excerpt from the manuscript of my novel about the rise and fall and rebirth of aggressive rollerblading.

A brief chat about a few things: getting the new 50/50 Scott Crawford 58mm/88a wheels, the cultural influence of the Barbie movie and the pleasant surprise of seeing multiple rollerbladers by the beach on the Gold Coast.

A long interview with Adapt Brand founder and co-owner Pieter Wijnant about his own skating, their new experiments with their YouTube channel, the Superveloce aggressive skate and other new contributions to their 2023 product lineup.

Episode 200! And 6 years of Mad Beef Rollerblading Podcast! Wow. This episode is just a casual chat about driveway p-rail summer sessions with my teenage daughter, lunchtime skatepark sessions with some random middle-aged skate geezer and the joy of good socks.
