In this final interview in the container at the Banger in the Hangar, I found the creator of the videozine, Mongochatter, Jon Hanks and grilled him with my usual questions until we started free-flowing the conversation. His take on pushing mongo was very refreshing and applies to life as a whole. Pushing mongo is an easy target for ridicule in skateboarding, but for those who dgaf, mongo is empowerment and, after this conversation, seems to be the best way to live life. Find him! Instagram:

In this episode I ran into Hubba (William LeMaster) at the Banger in the Hangar contest in Houston, TX. I already knew he was basically a pro skater, has his own board with Cockfight Skateboards and is a complete ripper, but I did not know he grew up in Dallas and that he grew up hanging around the spots of all the Dallas pros like Jeff Phillips and Craig Johnson in the 80's. Hubba is super genuine and very modest. He lets his skateboarding do most of his talking. I felt very fortunate that he

This episode is a sort of bonus episode. So not totally about skateboarding. Doug and I grew up together in Kingwood and skated together with all of our crew. But Doug has always been more of a BMXer. The BMX and the skateboarding world in Austin has always been closely related. We skated/rode many of the same places, we partied together, we have the same DIY spot philosophies, and we all seem to know each other. My brother Casey, who is best friends with Doug, crossed both worlds of BMX and
