Cindy Howard: Faith, Recovery, and Finding Joy on Wheels!

In this episode of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Cindy Howard, a beloved member of the skating community who truly leaves it all on the floor, both in life and in the rink. Cindy opens up about her journey as a dedicated delivery nurse, her ongoing commitment to helping others even in retirement, and her powerful story of overcoming addiction through faith and spirituality.

Her honesty, resilience, and infectious joy are impossible to miss. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone in the skate world who doesn’t light up when Cindy’s around. I knew she’d bring that same amazing energy to the podcast, and she absolutely didn’t disappoint.

This one’s full of heart, hope, and the kind of light that reminds you why we skate. You’re gonna love it.

JG Hubs Review – Innovation Meets the Super D’s Legacy

In this episode of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, we’re rolling deep into a review of the JG Hubs, by Jim Garrett. These hubs have been making noise in the skate community — but do they really live up to the hype?

I break down everything from performance and durability to design and feel on the floor. Plus, we dive into the story behind Jim Garrett’s vision for bringing precision engineering and classic shuffle style together.

Whether you’re a speed skater, a shuffler, or just love learning about what’s pushing the culture forward, this episode’s got something for you.

Tune in, lace up, and roll out — because this is SK8LIKEYOU.

Season 7 begins with one of the most powerful and emotional stories we’ve ever shared on the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast.

Our guest, Lauren Smyth, has been a lifelong skater whose love for roller skating has always been part of who she is. But six years ago, everything changed when she was diagnosed with late stage 3 ovarian cancer and since the diagnosis has progressed to stage 4. Since that day, Lauren has been fighting for her life with strength, courage, and an unshakable spirit that continues to inspire everyone who knows her.

As devastating as this diagnosis was, what followed became something truly remarkable. During her fight, Lauren reconnected with her first love, Jimmy Bee — the same person she met years ago at the rink as a kid. What began as a childhood romance grew into something even deeper as adults. After living separate lives and building families of their own, fate brought them back together, reminding us that sometimes love really does come full circle.

This episode is about more than just skating. It’s about love, resilience, and the way the rink can bring people together even in the hardest moments of life. Lauren’s journey is heartbreaking and inspiring all at once, and her courage represents the best of what our community stands for — strength, unity, and hope on eight wheels.

There is also a way you can help. At this year’s Philly Fall Sk8 Bash, skaters from all over are coming together to support Lauren and her fight. To learn more about how you can get involved or donate, visit the Philly Fall Sk8 Bash Facebook page here:
