Talkin' Schmit Ep. 229: RYAN JOHNSON

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. --------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE NOW: https://bit.ly/2RYE75F --------------------------------------- INTRO MUSIC: "Mary's Cross" by Natur INTERVIEW & EDITED: Greg "Schmitty" Smith CREDITS MUSIC: “Adirondack gate” by Shane Medanich CLOSING MONOLOGUE: Noelle Fiore EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Sharal Camisa Smith SMFM MUSIC DIRECTOR: Shane Medanich http://www.instagram.com/onsmfm SMFM GUEST BAND: Gun Boat (www.instagram.com/gun_boat) WEBSITE: https://talkinschmit.com/ YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/TalkinSchmit INSTAGRAM: @Talkin_Schmit FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/TalkinSchmit/ --------------------------------------- CONTACT with comments or suggestions: [email protected] --------------------------------------- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS: BLOOD WIZARD (http://bloodwizard.com/) BLUE PLATE (http://www.blueplatesf.com/) ORO COFFEE (http://www.instagram.orocoffeeroasters_sf --------------------------------------- #skateboarding #podcast #talkinschmit #RyanJohnson #RJ #skateshop #TalkinSchmit #kickflip #ollie #frontsideair #SanFrancisco #handrails --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talkin-schmit/support

Early days in SF at Playland, Santa Cruz Skateboards, entering contests in the 70's, skating Upland or not getting respect, playing music and leading his band the Gentle Orchestra, shooting with Mofo, and the era pre-handrail are just a few of the things Spidey and I discuss this week.

Vincent Alvarez was the first skateboarder on the Dickies program. He got on Chocolate Skateboards, turned pro, and had the first part in "Pretty Sweet". That’s just the tip of the iceberg though. What’s the most blood he’s seen, how long has he been playing drums, what does Patlanta Saves mean??? Whether it was meeting S.A.D. at a young age or seeing Jimmy Wilkins land his first bump to bar with Tony Hawk; Vincent has stories for days. Sam Smyth said it in his first impression, “Vinnie’s the fuckin’ man-just ask anyone that knows him. He’s the best!” SMFM with: OMEGA JACKSON: http://www.instagram.com/omegajackson --------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE NOW: https://bit.ly/2RYE75F --------------------------------------- FOLLOW VINCENT ON THE GRAM: http://www.instagram.com/_vincentalvarez_ --------------------------------------- INTRO MUSIC: "Mary's Cross" by Natur INTERVIEW & EDITED: Greg "Schmitty" Smith FIRST IMPRESSION: SAM SMYTH CREDITS MUSIC: “Adirondack gate” by Shane Medanich CLOSING MONOLOGUE: Noelle Fiore EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Sharal Camisa Smith SMFM MUSIC DIRECTOR: Shane Medanich http://www.instagram.com/shanmedanich WEBSITE: https://talkinschmit.com/ YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/TalkinSchmit INSTAGRAM: @Talkin_Schmit FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/TalkinSchmit/ --------------------------------------- CONTACT with comments or suggestions: [email protected] --------------------------------------- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS: BLOOD WIZARD (http://bloodwizard.com/) BLUE PLATE (http://www.blueplatesf.com/) ORO COFFEE (http://www.instagram.orocoffeeroasters_sf --------------------------------------- #skateboarding #podcast #talkinschmit #skateshopday #TalkinSchmit #VincentAlvarez #chocolateskateboards #crailtap #Switchskateboarding #Kickflip --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talkin-schmit/support
