Behind the Counter: Dave Waite Talks 35th Ave and Skate Culture

"This episode Mitch and Steve bring back their good friend ‪@dave_waite‬ and talk about running a shop in 2025, the new thunder T2 trucks, Dave's love of soft vert wheels, and much more....... also use the code "DEADAIR15" on checkout at www.35thave.com for a 15% discount on anything in the web store."

Always interesting to hear what's selling and who's buying skateboards in different parts of the country. Right now, it's all over the place, age-wise. Skateboarding is a hobby to a lot of people now, and not necessarily a passion. Kids don't care about a monthly skate mag.

If you don't know the history of 35th North and its famed All City Showdown contest, give this a watch. 

At any rate, we love skater-owned shops, we love what Dave's doing, we love these Dear Air Radio episodes focusing on core shops—this is the community you've gotta support. Onward and upward!
