Sk8LikeYou Podcast Episode 97: David Smith & HeartBreak Skate Jam Jan 25, 2026

Show notes

This week on the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, I’m joined by David Smith, better known as @smittyonskates, to talk all things HeartBreak Skate Jam.

We dig into how HeartBreak first came to life, the uphill battle of keeping the event alive before skating’s recent resurgence, and what it’s taken to build something that the community truly believes in. Smitty breaks down what skaters can expect this year when HeartBreak takes over Spinnerz in Carrollton, Georgia on February 20th and 21st, plus where he sees the event heading in the future.

Smitty’s passion for skating runs deep. He’s driven not just to preserve the culture, but to push it forward and create space for it to evolve the right way. If you love the behind the scenes of skate events, care about the history, or just enjoy hearing from someone who truly lives this life, this one is for you.

Skate nerds are absolutely gonna love this one.

Sk8LikeYou Podcast Episode 96: Kyle Dutcher aka PUSH Jan 18, 2026

Show notes

The internet saw the clips.

The rink felt the movement.

But this conversation goes deeper than the viral moments.

In this episode of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, I sit down with Kyle Dutcher, known to the skating world as Push — one of the most influential and recognizable figures in modern roller skating.

Push’s skating style is instantly identifiable. Smooth. Expressive. Intentional. His viral rise helped bring roller skating to audiences far beyond the rink, but what most people don’t see is the journey behind the momentum.

In this episode, we talk about:

How Push found skating and developed his unique style
What really happened after the viral explosion
The pressure that comes with visibility and expectations
Creativity, self expression, and skating as a form of therapy
Community, culture, and staying grounded while pushing forward

This isn’t just an interview about skating clips or social media success. It’s a real conversation about growth, identity, and what it takes to keep moving when the spotlight is on you.

The SK8LIKEYOU Podcast isn’t just about skating — it’s about life, and this episode with Push is a perfect example of why.

If skating has ever been more than just skating to you, this episode will hit home.

On this episode of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, we welcome Fusion Skate Group members Brandon “DJ B Nasty” and Amari “DJ Black Dragon” for their first-ever appearance on the podcast—and the timing couldn’t be better.

The guys are coming off a major milestone, having just earned their first win at the annual Shuffle Down in O-Town Shuffle Skate Competition in their hometown of Orlando, FL.
