Karl Watson Mostly Skateboarding Podcast Episode #014

I linked up with Karl Watson for this episode. We talked for over an hour and we will have a longer story coming out later. For now here are two stories. One about his most iconic trick at Hubba Hideout and the other, an early experience with Danny Way at EMB.

For this episode I recommended After Skate interview with Ali Boulala about going to Lyon to watch Jaws skate the 25 stair he attempted in Sorry.
