LR12 - JT Gleason
Description
JT Gleason is a skater and concrete enthusiast from Charleston, SC who has spent a good amount of time in Asheville helping out at the Foundation. JT got a big shout out from Alex Irvine in Episode 8 so I'm happy that I somehow wrangled him into doing an episode himself. I first came across JT at the Boone DIY when he was lending a hand with his concrete finishing expertise on a quarter pipe build for my crew at the time. He's had a nice stint as a sponsored skater for Coda skateboards and has traveled all over the world for skate trips and building projects alike. In this episode we talk about sacking handrails, working at a chocolate factory, building skateparks overseas, and much, much more. He's currently staying and working in Dugspur, VA at The Ranch Camp putting some finishing touches on the vast network of concrete stoke that's growing out there. All in all it was a blessing to meet up and have a conversation with someone who I had known about for a long time but never properly met. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did.
