  Sk8LikeYou Podcast Cheap Date LIVE: Aug. 18, 2026 Broadcast

  Aug 19, 202655 minS13

  This week's Cheap Date LIVE was a day late but NOT a dollar short. As the podcast continues to evolve, I'm looking back at not only the first episodes, but also the first conversations I had with skaters about my goals. Nobody, including myself, had any reason to think this would become what it has but here we are. Also on the agenda was news about the 2nd annual SK8LIKE NO BRAKES happening September 26 & 27. I also give some insights into the awesome guests in upcoming episode. The LIVE finishes up with some fun as I breakdown my personal top 10 of the cheesiest love ballads from the 80s & early 90s that were also staple couple skate songs. #sk8likeyou #80smusic #90smusic #bryanadams #berlin #steeldragon #starship #mrbig #poison #nelson #nirvana #extreme #morethanwords #richardmarx #warrant #heaven #nothingsgonnastopusnow #everyrosehasitsthorn #loveballads #genx #nostalgia #throwback #podcast #rollerskating #livepodcast #cheapdatelive #sk8likeyoupodcast

  Sk8LikeYou Cheap Date LIVE - August 10, 2026 Broadcast

  Aug 18, 20261h 4mS13

  The Cheap Date LIVE from August 10, 2026 was all about the wrap up of the Heart 2 Shuffle event that went down in Georgia. This was the 3rd year for the event & it just keeps getting better. The live started off with just venting some frustrations about the beginning stage production of the limited TV series of the podcast & the pitfalls of making it happen. Also discussed was "crop dusting" incident of 2026! #sk8likeyou #cheapdate #facebooklive #rollerskating

  Aug 18, 202656 minS13

  This week on The Sk8LikeYou Cheap Date LIVE, I’m sounding off solo on everything happening in the skating world right now. No guest, just me and the mic. I break down the latest info on the Sk8Like No Brakes event and share why I can’t wait to sit down with upcoming Sk8LikeYou Podcast guest Allison Nyberg, aka DJ SpaceCakes who happens to be the first female DJ ever in the shuffle event scene. I also dig into why Lehigh Valley shuffle skaters deserve more spotlight in the competition scene, and give a shoutout to the unsung heroes keeping the flea hop scene alive. Plus a few more topics I couldn’t resist sounding off on. #Sk8LikeYou #CheapDateLIVE #SkatingNews #ShuffleSkating #RollerSkating #SkateCommunity #SkateOpinion #SkateDebate #RealTalk #SkateTruth #NoFilter #UnpopularOpinion #SkateFam #SkateLife #SkateCulture #SkateTalk #RollerSkateCommunity

  Sk8LikeYou Cheap Date LIVE - July 20, 2026 Broadcast

  Aug 18, 20261h 2mS13

  This week on The Sk8LikeYou Cheap Date LIVE, I’m not holding back — I dive straight into the trending debate on whether kids should be allowed at skating events, and I call out some of the inconsistencies in the arguments on both sides. No filter, no diplomacy, just my honest take. I also drop part one of my review on Peter Peng’s new 97A wheels, wrap up everything from the Misfits event, and close things out with a top ten list of clap backs from kids weighing in on the debate themselves. This one’s spicy — you’ve been warned. #Sk8LikeYou #CheapDateLIVE #SkatingNews #ShuffleSkating #RollerSkating #SkateCommunity #SkateOpinion #SkateDebate #RealTalk #SkateTruth #NoFilter #UnpopularOpinion #SkateFam #SkateLife #SkateCulture #SkateTalk #RollerSkateCommunity #SkateNation

  Sk8LikeYou Podcast Episode 130: Heart 2 Shuffle Event Special

  Aug 16, 20261h 32mS13

  In Episode 130 of the SK8LikeYou Podcast, I’m on location at the 3rd Annual Heart 2 Shuffle event—an unforgettable weekend of skating that benefits the American Heart Association. Hosted by Angie Blatz, a stroke survivor herself, Heart 2 Shuffle is more than just a skate event. It brings the community together for a meaningful cause, raising support and awareness while celebrating the culture and connection that make skating special. This year’s event included two days of outdoor skating, making Ron Murray’s donation of multiple sets of Custom Skate Cushions outdoor wheels the perfect addition to the weekend. Throughout this episode, you’ll hear one-on-one conversations with skaters who traveled in from around the country, along with firsthand reviews of Ron’s much-loved outdoor wheels. Here are just some of the skaters I spoke with over the course of the weekend: Lacey Skates, Ed "OG Smooth" Emmett, David "Smitty" Smith, Angie Blatz, Ron Murray, Jackie Cusmano, Michelle Garmon, JC & Jenna Patterson, Liz Brown of Rink Rat Chat, Cindy Martin & more! Tune in for stories from the floor, outdoor skate energy, community voices, and a closer look at an event that proves skating can make a real difference. #SK8LikeYou #Heart2Shuffle #AmericanHeartAssociation #RollerSkating #OutdoorSkating #CustomSkateCushions #SkateCommunity #SkatePodcast
