Episode 51: Ryan Gallant - ALL I NEED SKATE PODCAST

In this episode of The Shetler Show, Anthony Shetler speaks with pro skateboarding legend, Ryan Gallant. This interview happens to be Ryan’s first podcast, even though he has done many other interviews for magazines through the years. 

They begin by talking about morning routines, how they take their coffee, growing up in MA, and the hometown sports teams they go for. They discuss getting Ryan’s first skate videos, including Speed Freaks and Hocus Pocus. 

They get into Ryan putting school on the back burner to turn Pro and ride for Converse, and the difficult task of telling his parents he wouldn’t be going to college. He talks about family sacrifice, being a parent and finally seeing parenthood through his parents eyes.

Anthony Shetler talks to Ryan about taking the All I Need skate team to San Diego for 2 weeks of skateboarding which will be released online through the All I Need Skate YouTube channel.
Ryan Gallant goes into his early career skating for Coliseum and what helped define his work ethic by living and breathing skateboarding. Ryan and Anthony get into why Skateboarders should be at the front of the industry to lead where the industry will lead to in the future. Ryan also asks Anthony Shetler about the relaunch of Vision Street Wear and his involvement in it.
