Skate Talks

ATTENTION: THIS IS NOT "THE NORMAL INTERVIEW" WITH A PRO SKATER.  At 36 years old, Richie Eisler was and still is one of the best ever putting his feet inside a pair of inline skates.  Richie skates have been traveling the world non-stop for the last 6 years with the support of brands such as USD skates, Kizer Frames, Undercover wheels, Ennui protections, Go project bearings, Noodle brain apparel, and LOCO skate shop.  But does he plans on doing it for a lot longer?  that's just one of the themes we got to speak during this 135mins Skate talk with one of the most influential skaters in 2017.  (we´re both sorry about the quality of the sound in some parts of this SKATE TALK, but as you will listen, we really tried our best to make it happen) This Podcast was originally uploaded on October 12, 2017, to Youtube: https://youtu.be/D6KprLt8u3o --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ricardolino/support
