Cleveland Skateboarding Storytellers - Episode 6: Eric Becker
Cleveland Skateboarding Storytellers - Episode 6: Eric BeckerIn this episode I get all the good stories from one of Cleveland's legendary skateboarders, Eric Becker. He's been skating since the 80's. Skating everything from bowls, vert ramps to street. he's been here, through it all over the decades - and he's still going strong into his mid 50's! i have always associated him with skating mostly vert and pools / bowls, but, we learn in this episode that Becker and his close friends may have been some of the very first people to skate some of Cleveland's legendary handrails. The stories he tells from back in the 80's, about the local ramps and some of our favorite street spots were really great to hear. Man, what a great episode this is! "Just learn to skate before you skate. Quit stinking up the parks and stuff. Yeah, don't skip the classes." - Eric Becker
