Introducing "Okay, Last Try": A Fresh Skateboarding Podcast

Tired of the same old skateboarding podcasts hosted by the usual suspects? “Okay, Last Try,” a new podcast, is here to shake things up by focusing on the fresh, upcoming voices in skateboarding. Hosted by Noah team rider Elise Hedge and Larry Lanza, this podcast aims to connect with the younger generation of skaters, offering new perspectives and stories.

The idea for “Okay, Last Try” came from a desire to move away from the repetitive narratives often heard in skate media. Larry, now 25, felt himself nearing the dreaded “old head” status. He wanted to bridge the generational gap and engage with the younger skaters shaping the future of the sport. This podcast is his way of staying connected and avoiding the pitfalls of becoming a jaded skater.

The first episode features Quinn Batley, a Baltimore native now residing in New York. Quinn is known for his work with The Homies Network videos and his appearance in Noah’s Jolie Rouge video. He also skates for Carpet Co. Listeners can also explore his photography on the Camera Club website. This choice of guest demonstrates the podcast’s focus on highlighting emerging talents in the skateboarding community.
