Respect to Aaron and all he’s done for skating. You can’t wake and bake and do the pod. Good on Fish and Paz pulling some good stories out. I love to hear the behind the scenes tales from the videos I religiously watched. Keep it up fellas!
Looked up to Aaron when I was a kid and was definitely my skating idol for the longest time. I am thankful to see an interview with him since he has been gone for quite a long time. I don't think that some pros from back then understand what impact they have/had on some kids that are looking up to them. Thanks for this episode and best wishes to this legend!
Just now discovering this pod. Started blading again recently at age 41; I've kept physically active in my time off the blades, but damn, it is definitely hard on the body. Aaron was clearly one of the best ever to do it, and it was remarkable how he dominated everything he committed to: street, park and vert. He got burly, he was super-tech, and also did crazy, creative stuff. A real joy to watch. He also got so much HATE from message board keyboard warriors calling him a park rat.
Kudos to Austin and Fish for carrying the interview. You guys have really come a long way in timing, giving the interviewee time to think, positive response, and preparedness.
Damn Aaron no credit for me filming?????.. hahaha all love we smoked way to much to have memory now adays and haven't see Aaron for almost ten years now that I don't live in Portland any more. Anton and myself (Glenn pounds) filmed 95% of the Portland footage... Think one clip is bj Cambell behind the camera or maybe Shane Saviors but I was only one in town with a Cannon GL1 besides the one that they gave Aaron to film with and that was vx1000. Believe we all got credit for it in the credits of brain fear gone but don't remember exactly.
sooo good 2 see aaron on the show. although brief, from 97-early-mid 99, he was a BIG part of my life. him, randy spizer & matt mantz, the 3 youngbucks were my favs as a young kid myself. tbtv 1 "my daily routine" & "hoax 4". CLASSICS!
Feinberg was all I looked up to growing up. I appreciate you guys pulling some obscure stories out like the bacardi shots w/Em. Dude cant remember anything on his own. Thank you for being prepared. When is Montre coming on the show? 👀
We used to hang out at the skate shop across the street from 2nd Avenue records and they used to give out demo cds and a demo cd we got was called ninos con bombas. That was where the name came from.
My second pair of skates was his first classic throne. Made me fall in love with mindgame and kizer fluid frames. Great skate, and even greater skate sections
I hope you guys continue to keep in touch with feinberg and motivate him somehow to enjoy skating even if it's taking it easy. don't know his personal circumstances but it would be cool to keep him "in" the scene
I am so happy that I have bought all available Mindgame DVDs to this day and they still work. I have to save them on the hard drive before the DVDs stop working. Thanks to all skaters from this era!
Aaron was the first Professional skater I met as a kid at the Xgames in San Diego, I thought I had missed him and called out and he stopped, turned around, signed my shirt and went on to compete. Nothing huge but a day I’ll never forget, fucking legend right here 🙌🔥
Man, I remember Aaron when he was just a little kid. I managed a couple Skate 2000 shops back in the day, and Aaron with a few other skaters would hang out all the time. Dude was in ALL-STAR here in Miami just destroying everyone at the local comps we would have. He was always a great kid. Miss those good ol days.
With winning the X-Games on his 16th birthday, Aaron made a huge impact on the blading scene from a young age and kept laying the hammers down throughout his career. We talk about his Mindgame sections, what he thought is the craziest trick he did, the transition from Salomon to USD, and more.
Beatles are my Dad's favorite and cars were steam powered when he was a kid. Great interview, I went and watched some of Aaron's Mindgame sections. Totally forgot how mind bending they were. I noticed Bcam has similar style, I think they were good friends so makes sense.
Thanks so much for organizing and hosting this episode guys and huge thanks to Aaron for sharing his stories and amazing life of rolling! Such a legend! 👍
Yo compré mis K2 motivada en cómo Aaron patinaba en los X Games, he is my Hero! Si pienso en X Games, mi primer imagen mental es y seguirá siendo Aaron. Gracias Aaron por ponerle emoción a mi vida! Eres GENIAL!!!
My favorite skater all time he was nuts, I like his comment is hard to put on the blades and not feel pain I feel the same way I'm in my late thirties. I didn't realize that was Billy O'Neill you are number two on my list you were fucking ridiculous as well
Man going back and rewatching this it really is sad to seem him struggle so much with this interview. People need to realize when these pros had to go to regular lives that means they had to get jobs. Meaning they get hurt skating they don’t get to work.
Just seeing Aaron's name gets me hyped on skating. 100s of times watched the Brain Fear Gone section before putting on my Salomon St8s and skating my stolen aluminum picnic table and grind rails in my driveway
I was thinking the same thing. I grew up very lucky living in Orange County. I skated with this guy, Richard, Demetrios.. even got to skate at barn burner in Seattle and party with at hotel with all these guys. As a matter of a fact, Franky Morales rolled my first blunt off a playboy magazine in his hotel room. It was a night I will never forget, I was probably 16. He’s most definitely just hit the blunt a few times, may have some other stuff going on.. it’s easy to get on pain meds with good money as a younger adult and injuries in your your twenties/thirties. Anyhow, I wish nothing but the best for all of these guys, they kept me doing something positive every day for years of my life, made the best friends and had the best times.
Just go back and watch the words section AF2 it’s just insane, even to this day some of the tricks being done don’t even make any logical sense, he was just beyond insane it’s crazy how he just went off into the sunset
1:24:57 exactly. I see some rollerbladers once in every few years and I ask them what they can do and what are their favorite rollerblading films and they don't know much about it, I just send the USD CDT, Mindgame films , 4x4 etc.
YEA THAT MINDGAME HEAD PROFILE - FOR SURE AARONS DOME!! ; ) 34:09 STEAZ!! I would pay him to meet him. Portland? WOW. Did he know Brian Maxwell or Sapata who was from near the area in the early 2000's? XD. His Brain Fear Gone section is one of my fav sections of all-skaters!! So many amazing pros but he is part of the 2nd generation essentially after Arlo and Edwards... This guy might understate what he has done in and for the sport but believe me - this man is a LEGEND and Arguable Mt. Rushmore of the sport!! My personal top-5 in order HAFFEY, FEINBERG, LATIMER, SHIMA, SPIZER. Honorable mention: Stockwell, Aragon, and Farmer. The fact Aaron won the XD Games and had the Solomon ST pro model (arguable best skate ever) IMMORTALIZED him and made him one of the most marketable and mainstream faces in BLADING. Im 31 and skated hard from 2000-2009, took a break from 2010-2017, and been skating the last 3 again. Plan on skating till my body wont let me. So many people I hope come back to blading with this hiatus from the virus reminding people of their old past times. BLADING IS LIFE
Yep Ricky Martinez was the first to be blasting the 24 step and it’s ledge. I was one of the only one who could drive. So I skated with all these cats. Very cool
That was awesome! I remember that trip Aaron and everyone took here to Maui back then. What Aaron Feinburg, Sean Cullen section were you guys talking about I never saw that?
Jump Street Podcast thanks for the link, I never saw that part, but I was at that barn burner where half those clips came from. Everything that dude did that day looked fucking dangerous. All time king of hammers.
I live an hour from Portland. The only time that I have skated with Feinberg was at the first barn bunner comp in Seattle. I saw him do the biggest flat 3 over the the spine like 10 feet from the coping to cess slide down the other. It was awesome. I have also seen underground clips of aaron skating Portland spots, like Milwaukee high and doing the most bad ass beautiful skating. The guy is unbelievable, and does tricks that I would only dream of. He should roll around because it's fun and good exercise. I bet if they built something cool to skate, he might skate.
I love his cess slides. I personally love Royale cess slides but my ankles don't permit me to perform it at all. Gotta resort to skate video footage :)
I can't blame the guy but you can hear how jaded he is in his voice and that is a shame. By and large many people consider him the GOAT and you have to look at it from the outside point of view. It is like a child finding out about michael jordan only to realize, not only does he no longer play basketball, you can tell it is the last thing he wants to be doing. It paints the picture that what you are about to do isn't worth it. Even at the end you can tell his heart only seems to be halfway in it when talking about remaining in the scene in any aspect. It sounds so cliche and so "white girl" but I want him to WANT to be back in rollerblading and I kinda don't feel that at times during this. It is very much a stark contrast to when you see Rachard Johnson hitting a ledge and getting after it. Real talk, I don't really think people expect him to huck himself off things and I get the vibe he thinks that is what we want when he references injuries. I get it, minutes before the dude said he had 200k sitting in the bank at some point so as far as what he can get from rollerblading, that is probably exhausted. But I think he left a legacy and impact bigger than he is willing to acknowledge and that just overall just makes me really fucking bummed.
It's up to the new generation to pick up the torch and improve on what Aaron and other top pros brought to the sport and scene. Once you reach your mid 30's you're past your athletic prime, and things start to deteriorate fast. Blading is an athletically demanding sport, so enjoy it while you can.
Why does all the old skool skating look so much sicker and AGRESSIVE than all these new edits. The intro to this show, just look how it used to be. Too tech nowadays, where all the sick edits and videos like back in the day. Too tame todays shit.
@@krisrosk5205 I think people got jaded. People didn't take rollerblading seriously so everybody had to go big and do the biggest gaps and rails they could. People risked their lives and had really bad injuries from pushing their limits. It was so dangerous but the mainstream media still ignored it and people still made fun of it. Imagine risking so much and being so talented but still have people never take you serious if you tell them you rollerblade. People realized that they should just skate for fun because there wasn't enough money in it to be doing such dangerous stunts. It was so raw back then but there was also so much hate at the same time.
@@krisrosk5205Someone could do a backflip into a disaster royale down a huge stair set and the clip probably won't even go viral. Meanwhile some TH-camr can review new skateboard wheels and get a million views. It's so lame to see how underappreciated pro rollerbladers are.
Skateboarding has gone the same direction, I think it has a lot to do with the sport maturing and generally speaking pros are older than they were back in the day. I think it's cool to be honest.
He was really getting choked up reminiscing about winning the x games. He had so much potential and seems to have wasted the opportunity to set himself up financially for the future. 😭
Seems like he's either going through something or maybe just really high?? I hope he's not addicted to pain meds. I've seen too many people go down that road. Props to Paz and Fish for holding it down
Did Aaron ever mention what he is doing for work now? I didn't catch that. Also, I would just be curious to hear his perspective on why the sport just died so suddenly.
Rollerblading doesnt have any main key players...This guy was one of them! This is why rollerblading died because we dont have the culture the history because all them old pros know it!
Why is it that the gnarliest, most impactful and innovative skaters who have molded our industry and the blade game as a whole so much are the most boring, bland, quiet, have no memories of anything, cant elaborate on shit, dont know how to talk properly and form a damn literate sentence people can understand type of personalities? I swear they are ALL like this too. The dude couldnt even form a sentence or talk right, like does he have a permanent brain injury? Feinberg def being the worst for sure but Shima doesnt remember shit or doesnt really get into many details, DL is pretty much the same way, Broskow acted like he didnt even know what to say or what to do when he was on stage at the "night at the movies" event when asked to elaborate on his sections. Sean Kelso had more to say and he just filmed some of it, thats all.... Like all these dudes gotta be annoying af for Fish and Paz cuz its like they get this legend to come on their show and then when they try and get them to open up about certain events or things from the past, its like they might as well be asking some random bystander who was just there watching cuz these dudes act like they werent even there or dont even remember something that had such a last impact on the rest of the blade world. Like we brought u on this show to get some of that back story and hear things from their perspective cuz rarely u get that side of the coin and then u get the "oh well, u kno, wait what are asking me about again? oh that, yeah it was cool. I think I remember what ur talking about, wait what year was that again? I think it was when I was XX age maybe, idk , not sure, we had fun tho..." Like WTF?! I get that a lot of the memories sorta blend together when ur traveling all over the country/world skating and filming multiple sections and winning comps every other weekend but damn like u could at least give us something that we dont already know... its sorta why u were brought on the show and asked these questions, not to just make small talk and shoot the shit. U should be prepared for these questions cuz u know they are coming. I know hes never been the most vocal and social person but Feinberg just acted like he came out of a coma from a horrible head injury and now just smokes pot all day and sleeps. It was hard to even watch this. Props to JS for keeping the flow going and trying to get what they could from the man.
Bro he kept it so 100% he literally laid out how skating ends for practically anyone willing to grow an become an adult he doesn't come off as boring he comes off a mature an realistic yall be delusional with no plan b c or d
Never was a big Feinberg fan. He always rubbed me as arrogant. Same reason I never liked matty mantz. Same reason I was a BIG Roadhouse supporter. Would rather support a local kid like Jeff Dalnas who was just as good but got no attention in the 90s. Feinberg seems so disconnected from rollerblading , its sad.
Okay I have a problem with this. I can't say anything Bad about feinberg. Cause this is the End justify the means. No matter what his attitude was his skating and winning that x games did so much for the sport. But man this interview really shows hes just not good interviewer or hes just has a bad personality. He never looks at the camera, he seems to be dissing the questions. Un passionate. You couldn't shut fallon or demetris (sp) up. They were passionate. This seems like you are interrogation a criminal who doesn't want to give information. I mean even when talking about mind game "what not". He isn't passionate about it. Like seriously this was the worst one ive seen. And its crazy its from a legend. I don't know what aaron does for his career. Im sure hes good. But this seems like he doesn't want to talk about his past. Like hes not having fun in his life now. The only time he smiled and picked up was when they were talking about brain fear gone. I mean maybe its something that happened in the past that hunts him. But he definitely is a legend.
Everyone got scared of aggressive inline and made it into all these other off-shoots...Should of carried on what it was in the past to create a richer history of the culture. Rollerblading doesnt know where the fuck it is.
Respect to Aaron and all he’s done for skating. You can’t wake and bake and do the pod. Good on Fish and Paz pulling some good stories out. I love to hear the behind the scenes tales from the videos I religiously watched. Keep it up fellas!
This ain’t ESPN it’s Jump Street
Feinberg can do whatever he wants!!!! 💀🛸🦖

Aaron "I want to work for myself one day" Dude start a clothing company called Feinberg and you can have my money.
Aaron is a top 5 blader of all time.
Michael Jordan of rollerblading.
Facts
For real
I once saw him casually rolling up to kink rail.. soul jumps large kink in centre to topsoul like it was nothing.
Yes. His Video parts are just incredible trick after trick. You kinda have to watch it in slow motion, because there is so much awesomeness.
Still waiting on that rachard Johnson epi
sooo good 2 see aaron on the show. although brief, from 97-early-mid 99, he was a BIG part of my life. him, randy spizer & matt mantz, the 3 youngbucks were my favs as a young kid myself.
tbtv 1 "my daily routine" & "hoax 4". CLASSICS!
Feinberg was all I looked up to growing up. I appreciate you guys pulling some obscure stories out like the bacardi shots w/Em. Dude cant remember anything on his own. Thank you for being prepared. When is Montre coming on the show? 👀
What a legend, getting back into it now at 36 years old and yea it hurts but it's so much fun and just stay away from the big gaps 😄
thats awesome, welcome back!

I "stole" so many tricks from Aaron watching video's, wich i still do today.. My hero
Aaron was the first Professional skater I met as a kid at the Xgames in San Diego, I thought I had missed him and called out and he stopped, turned around, signed my shirt and went on to compete. Nothing huge but a day I’ll never forget, fucking legend right here 🙌🔥
Enjoyed it!!! Aaron was definitely a huge part of blading!! Such a sick style!! Thanks for doing the podcast guys!!!
Matt Mickey is doing good things down there at Blading Cup.
amazing footage! I m glad I typed Feinberg on youtube to see some old footage and then finding this one :)
one of my fav episodes yet
One of the best skaters I ever jammed with.
Cheers!
Man, I remember Aaron when he was just a little kid. I managed a couple Skate 2000 shops back in the day, and Aaron with a few other skaters would hang out all the time.

Aaron was huge inspo growing up, id watch Portland section of Hoax 4 on repeat! Thanks for this dope episode
Do one with Gonzo !!!!!!!
I need to know how they landed on that perfect anagram of Brainfeargone = Aaron feinberg.
With winning the X-Games on his 16th birthday, Aaron made a huge impact on the blading scene from a young age and kept laying the hammers down throughout his career. We talk about his Mindgame sections, what he thought is the craziest trick he did, the transition from Salomon to USD, and more.
Beatles are my Dad's favorite and cars were steam powered when he was a kid. Great interview, I went and watched some of Aaron's Mindgame sections. Totally forgot how mind bending they were. I noticed Bcam has similar style, I think they were good friends so makes sense.
yuh sin vg9???

So much history. Would be great to see a few clips once in a while of skating
This dude was my hero
If you met him now you wouldn't guess who he once was... One of the best ever Rollerbladers to do it!
Absolute legend
Deff one of my heros, one of the coolest cats I've met in life, miss rolling
Man going back and rewatching this it really is sad to seem him struggle so much with this interview.
People need to realize when these pros had to go to regular lives that means they had to get jobs. Meaning they get hurt skating they don’t get to work.
portland legend. such a good episode.
Yeah I still live in Oregon I used to see him at my local skatepark in Beaverton when I was like 10 years old skating.
Just seeing Aaron's name gets me hyped on skating. 100s of times watched the Brain Fear Gone section before putting on my Salomon St8s and skating my stolen aluminum picnic table and grind rails in my driveway
I hope he's alright. He sounded a bit out of it. I hope it's just from the contents in his cup and nothing more serious
I was thinking the same thing. I grew up very lucky living in Orange County. I skated with this guy, Richard, Demetrios.. even got to skate at barn burner in Seattle and party with at hotel with all these guys.

good to see him blading lately in that contest, still niiiice
Aaron did a board slide on a skateboard in his senate section!!!!
That square rail is at long beach college by pch. Its really not that bad
Can’t wait to watch!
Straight hammer 🔨 time right here🙌🏾

you're reading way too deep into this lol
Everything has an equal and opposite reaction.
Aaron us a top-5 all time skater. Glad he spoke his mind here. he seems happy. I'm glad for him
It's up to the new generation to pick up the torch and improve on what Aaron and other top pros brought to the sport and scene. Once you reach your mid 30's you're past your athletic prime, and things start to deteriorate fast. Blading is an athletically demanding sport, so enjoy it while you can.
I hear you but I feel like he’s had one too many brain injuries and what we’re seeing is onset CTE. Hopefully not but we’ll know for sure in 20 years
keep up the good work guys.👏🏾

Lmao
He was really getting choked up reminiscing about winning the x games. He had so much potential and seems to have wasted the opportunity to set himself up financially for the future. 😭
Legend
Seems like he's either going through something or maybe just really high?? I hope he's not addicted to pain meds. I've seen too many people go down that road. Props to Paz and Fish for holding it down
Fish and austin had there work cut out for them this episode feinberg doesnt know what planet hes on aha, still enjoyed tho!
"What am I trying to say? Uh, I dunno, I'm losing myself" 😬😬😬. Damn, Feinberg, get it together 😂
Winning the x games at 16 as a rookie would make me feel confident.
It was Aaron's birthday too, I think.
Did Aaron ever mention what he is doing for work now? I didn't catch that. Also, I would just be curious to hear his perspective on why the sport just died so suddenly.
I met him in Cape Town and know this story 🤣🤣
Excelente 🔥🙌
Rollerblading doesnt have any main key players...This guy was one of them! This is why rollerblading died because we dont have the culture the history because all them old pros know it!
Yeah, only a few invested back into the community
I'd love to see Damien Wilson on the show at some point. One of my favorite street skaters and it seems like he dropped off the face of the Earth.
@@brandoncook8975 what drama?
RESPECT
His Salomon Focused section was amazing as well! th-cam.com/video/G13en4F5UTE/w-d-xo.html
fucking legend
Good till it’s gone. Rollerblading no career industry
You look like Van Damme now
Support the channel like the video
Why is it that the gnarliest, most impactful and innovative skaters who have molded our industry and the blade game as a whole so much are the most boring, bland, quiet, have no memories of anything, cant elaborate on shit, dont know how to talk properly and form a damn literate sentence people can understand type of personalities? I swear they are ALL like this too. The dude couldnt even form a sentence or talk right, like does he have a permanent brain injury? Feinberg def being the worst for sure but Shima doesnt remember shit or doesnt really get into many details, DL is pretty much the same way, Broskow acted like he didnt even know what to say or what to do when he was on stage at the "night at the movies" event when asked to elaborate on his sections. Sean Kelso had more to say and he just filmed some of it, thats all.... Like all these dudes gotta be annoying af for Fish and Paz cuz its like they get this legend to come on their show and then when they try and get them to open up about certain events or things from the past, its like they might as well be asking some random bystander who was just there watching cuz these dudes act like they werent even there or dont even remember something that had such a last impact on the rest of the blade world. Like we brought u on this show to get some of that back story and hear things from their perspective cuz rarely u get that side of the coin and then u get the "oh well, u kno, wait what are asking me about again? oh that, yeah it was cool. I think I remember what ur talking about, wait what year was that again? I think it was when I was XX age maybe, idk , not sure, we had fun tho..." Like WTF?! I get that a lot of the memories sorta blend together when ur traveling all over the country/world skating and filming multiple sections and winning comps every other weekend but damn like u could at least give us something that we dont already know... its sorta why u were brought on the show and asked these questions, not to just make small talk and shoot the shit. U should be prepared for these questions cuz u know they are coming. I know hes never been the most vocal and social person but Feinberg just acted like he came out of a coma from a horrible head injury and now just smokes pot all day and sleeps. It was hard to even watch this. Props to JS for keeping the flow going and trying to get what they could from the man.
not all of them. but yea, some are a bit quiet or seem a bit disconnected.
Bro he kept it so 100% he literally laid out how skating ends for practically anyone willing to grow an become an adult he doesn't come off as boring he comes off a mature an realistic yall be delusional with no plan b c or d
haha i meant to watch this but i napped out. dope though
Hol up

These dudes don’t understand who they are or what they mean to blading. They shouldn’t keep quiet so much

Never was a big Feinberg fan. He always rubbed me as arrogant. Same reason I never liked matty mantz. Same reason I was a BIG Roadhouse supporter. Would rather support a local kid like Jeff Dalnas who was just as good but got no attention in the 90s.
Feinberg seems so disconnected from rollerblading , its sad.
Never saw Matty Mantz as "arrogant", he just seemed "moody" and depressed all the time, like he hated skating.
....
Please have Demetrius George on the show.
Okay I have a problem with this. I can't say anything Bad about feinberg. Cause this is the End justify the means. No matter what his attitude was his skating and winning that x games did so much for the sport. But man this interview really shows hes just not good interviewer or hes just has a bad personality. He never looks at the camera, he seems to be dissing the questions. Un passionate. You couldn't shut fallon or demetris (sp) up. They were passionate. This seems like you are interrogation a criminal who doesn't want to give information. I mean even when talking about mind game "what not". He isn't passionate about it. Like seriously this was the worst one ive seen. And its crazy its from a legend. I don't know what aaron does for his career. Im sure hes good. But this seems like he doesn't want to talk about his past. Like hes not having fun in his life now. The only time he smiled and picked up was when they were talking about brain fear gone. I mean maybe its something that happened in the past that hunts him. But he definitely is a legend.
Everyone got scared of aggressive inline and made it into all these other off-shoots...Should of carried on what it was in the past to create a richer history of the culture. Rollerblading doesnt know where the fuck it is.
