I sat down with Devon Messer of the Ohio Rollers for Episode 109 of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, and this one is all about community, consistency, and what it really takes to build something that lasts in the skate scene.

Devon represents a crew that’s putting in real work. The Ohio Rollers aren’t just showing up… they’re creating a lane, building momentum, and bringing people together through skating. We got into how it all started, what drives the movement, and the responsibility that comes with representing something bigger than yourself.

This conversation goes deeper than just skating. We talk about leadership, showing up for your people, and the difference between those who talk about it and those who actually do it. Devon breaks down the mindset behind staying consistent, elevating the scene around you, and making sure the culture keeps moving forward.

If you care about the future of roller skating and the people pushing it, this is one you need to tap into.

I sat down with Marlo “FloJo” Jones for a special bonus episode and this one hits different.

FloJo isn’t just part of the Pittsburgh skate scene. She’s one of the people who refused to let it fade. When a major skate spot was lost and hundreds of skaters were left without a home, most would’ve accepted it. FloJo didn’t.

Alongside Liz Brown of Rink Rat Chat, we go deep into what it really takes to keep a culture alive. This is about resilience, pressure, and making something out of nothing when everything says it’s over.

We talk about:

• losing a skate space and what that actually did to the community

• the behind-the-scenes grind of rebuilding momentum

• how FloJo turned setbacks into fuel instead of excuses

• what it takes to organize and sustain real events

• the energy behind her annual event “Who Want Smoke” and why it keeps growing

FloJo didn’t just bring something back. She leveled it up. Because she refused to quit, the adult skate scene in the 412 isn’t just surviving. It’s evolving.

This is a conversation about standing on business, protecting the culture, and proving that if you don’t give up, you can shift an entire scene.

If you skate, you need to hear this one.

I sat down with DJ Gemini and Favi of the 311 Sk8 Crew out of Cincinnati, and this conversation goes way deeper than just skating.

For them, this isn’t just a crew it’s family. The way they move, the way they show up, and the way they support each other all comes back to one thing community. Everything they do is rooted in building something bigger than themselves.

We talked about what it really means to grow not just as individual skaters, but as a sk8fam. Personal development matters, but so does making sure everyone around you is leveling up too. That balance between pushing yourself and pouring into your people is what makes 311 stand out.

This one is about loyalty, growth, and what happens when a group of skaters truly move as one
