WCRP: Chuck Treece 016

What this episode covers

A real-life, LEGEND in 2 Games. First Black Skateboarder, on the cover of Thrasher Magazine. Gave us the soundtrack to our lives, with McRad’s “Weakness”. Here we are, over 4 decades later. My man is still out here touring, and hitting anything concrete along the way. Ladies & gentlemen. Don’t ever get it twisted. Chuck Treece, IS the culture. Between tour stops with longtime friend G Love. I had a chance to catch-up with the man himself. We talk everything from playing on The Roots first album. His ground-breaking Thrasher cover. 80’s backyard ramp-jams. The transition from the vert era, to street skating. And, all great things skateboarding!! Hearing Chuck Treece speak on how Ray Barbee changed the game. Thug tears were shed. For the culture, of course. This isn’t over, folks. We got more, coming back at ya! In the meantime- thank you to Chuck, for taking the time to do this. You know how we do about this time. It’s the mighty, mighty WCRP. Tune in- Clyde Singleton
