Erich Bscheider and Michael Schwab | - Episode 122

from Grab Matters Podcast · host Hunter Thane / Michael Schwab / Erich Bscheider

On a special, and very different episode, today we sit down with 2 of the owners of Shape Obstacles,  Erich Bscheider and Michael Schwab. We dive into the history of Shape, the transition of ownership, and what sets them apart from other feature manufacturers. From materials to design to the team, Michael and Erich touch on the legacy of Shape as well as the future direction of the brand. As a bonus, we also welcome in Massi Piffaretti, Jamie Lopina, Pat Panakos, and Jackson Kaufman, as they swap out about halfway through the pod to talk about the new improvements being made to Nona, including a bunch of new Shape features coming to the park. Hear all that and much more in Episode 123 of the Grab Matters Podcast!Follow Erich: https://www.instagram.com/erichbscheider/Follow Michael: https://www.instagram.com/michael.schwab.pmc/Follow Shape: https://www.instagram.com/shapeobstacles/Follow Massi: https://www.instagram.com/massipiffa/Follow Jamie: https://www.instagram.com/jamielopina/Follow Pat: https://www.instagram.com/patrickpanakos/Follow Jackson: https://www.instagram.com/jacksonkauffmann/Thank you to this shows sponsors! Liquid Force: https://www.liquidforce.com/ Slingshot: https://slingshotsports.com/Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/GrabMattersPodcastChapters:00:00 - 1:00 Intro1:40 Favorite grab2:30 History of Shape18:40 LF’n Hot Seat24:00 Shape Team34:40 Slings Hot Takes40:30 Shape and Nona45:00 Massi, Jamie, Pat join1:12:20 Jackson from NonaShoot us a text!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GrabMattersPodcastWebsite: https://www.grabmatters.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grabmatters/videosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/grabmatters/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grabmatterspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/grabmatters
