In this episode I interview Sean Haines, the founder of 512 Skate Project. What started out as giving a few boards from his collection to some kids who wanted one for Christmas has turned into a full blown non-profit. In partnership with 100% Skateboarding Sean and the 512 Skate Project crew have helped many kids be able to enjoy Christmas with a good quality skateboard. In some cases these kids have gone on to become sponsored skateboarders and changing the trajectory of their lives.

In this episode, I askes James Harlan to come over and work on my car for a transmission flush, a tire rotation and oil change. It started pouring rain so we decided to make the best of the time and record an episode of The Wood. I met James through the NeverWas crew where he is the youngest guy there and was ripping during the Stupid Fest that they do every year. James can rip both a skateboard and a BMX. You will find him mostly around Shayla Dame Park in Round Rock or in someone's driveway fixing a car. Give him a shout if you want your car fixed!
Parents: James cusses alot, so if you don't like it, hide your kid's ears! Haha.
