This week on the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast I sit down with David “Smitty” Smith — a jamskater from Ohio and a true architect of the modern skate scene. With deep roots in rhythm and jam skating, Smitty has spent decades pushing boundaries, mentoring the next generation, and turning every rink he steps into into a classroom, a stage, and a community.In this episode, Smitty shares what it really means to push the limits on skates — not just through style and skill, but by uplifting rinks, inspiring new skaters, and growing the culture from the inside out. From early skate nights to his ongoing mission to keep the soul of skating alive, Smitty brings wisdom, fire, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you’re a rink rat or just lacing up, this is one for the books.
