#20 Candy Jacobs is Gnarly with a Conscience

Vent City

What is up, skaters? Welcome back to the 20th goddamn episode of Vent City. On the show, we’ve got Kristin Ebeling form Skate like a Girl on hosting duties, Alex White Brand Manager at Krux and notorious Meme Queen of Instagram and Ted Schmitz who feels weird writing these notes in third person. We’re talking about how we're holding up during these trying times and then get into a Candy Jacobs article/interview on Jenkem by Sander Holsgens, where she talks about paving her own way in skating and the struggles she faced along the way. Check that out here: http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2020/04/02/building-skate-career-candy-jacobs/ Then we talk Arin Lester’s internet-breaking kicky front tail bigspin and Alex’s decision to get her locked down with some gear. Also, we Pyre a few things, but they’re hard to remember off the top of my head, so listen to that part and remind me. You all are the best listeners we could ask for. Please support the people who help us make this thing. Like, by going and listening to ilana Bryne’s page and listening to her new album. Wondering what that sounds like? Here’s a bit from the album’s description: “Are they simply DJ tools, or are they something more? They're ass-shaking, hip-bumping, head-nodding basement-style tracks presented for your pleasure.” https://shebco.bandcamp.com/track/short-ride It’s tight. Get there and then go find anything you can by Michael Worful who does our logo and graphic design. It’s very good stuff that will make your wall much nicer. Your wall looks like shit imo, but I guarantee it would be a world-class spectacle once you hang up one of Worful’s sweet, smiling, colorful flowers on it. Well that’s it. I hope you like these intros and if you wanna watch Alexis, Fiske, and PJ with me, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3uv07rei0o Questions about the show: [e-mail] Support the show: patreon.com/ventcity And send us a DM if you make it to the bottom of this. Pretty sure nobody reads them but they take me like 30-45 minutes to write so I’d like to confirm that I’m wasting my time.
