Sarah Iannarone is the once and future queen of Portland. In her bid for the last mayoral election she lobbied for safer and better streets as a means to equity for all residents of the city, and she is the only car-free mayoral candidate we can think of! Crossing town by bus, foot and long-tailed cargo bike, she has enough good ideas for ten shows. AND she serves the best biscuits & gravy around. Here’s an hour, anyways!

Cory Poole returns to talk about what it’s like to travel with a skateboard in a new city, whether that’s his recent trip to San Diego or your upcoming trip to Portland. How does it work as you try to find your way around? What should you know before you go? We also chat a bit about skating with a young child in the city and what the law requires of us.
Also: Aaron and Anna “lived the revolution” and Aaron received a lot of hugs. Brock rented a car2go for a long trip when another option fell through.
