The newest episode of the Wallride X podcast is a relaxed sit-down with professional skateboarder Kevin Romar, the good homie from Long Beach who has been holding it down for years with standout video parts, iconic tricks at some of the heaviest spots, and a smooth style that fans never forget.
Hosts Marko “Sharko” Jazbinsek of Sugar and Unified, along with Dez Beristain from FlippinBoards, guide the conversation through Kevin’s early days, the evolution of his skate career, and everything he’s been working on lately.
Kevin starts by talking about growing up in Long Beach, where skaters like Scott Kane, Evan Hernandez, and Terry Kennedy were already killing it and inspiring the next generation.
He shares memories of trying to break into the scene, filming clips with friends, and how landing footage in The Berry video was the first time things really started to feel real.
Skateboarding isn’t just about big video parts anymore, though, and Kevin knows that.
He shares how social media changed the landscape. At first, it was hard to figure out how to make short clips feel meaningful, but over time he found a way to blend creativity with his own standards.
He still cares about quality and intention behind each trick, even if it’s just for a clip that lasts a few seconds.
Make sure to watch the full interview below and share it with the homies. Enjoy!
