Erick is a staple of NorCal rollerblading, from history-making stunts during Bay Area traffic to shooting photos for FilthJuice.

Known better as ESG, he’s “El Presidente” of the Juiced Sucka Foos, a crew formed in the Battle My Crew days.

On this episode, we talk about his experiences working for his parents carpet cleaning business, how cess slides are a sign of financial independence, his relationship with K2 skates, getting into photography, and, of course, smoking weed.

As I took a similar break in college, we talked about what we missed, New York blading history, the Mushroom Blading influence, the radicalization of rollerblading, the realization we’re Millennials, and many names we couldn’t remember.

Highlights include, but are not limited to, B. Free with a pure profession of passion and the explanation of how Dave Lang’s hip ended up looking like this:
