SK8LIKEYOU Podcast Episode 126 welcomes Joshua Love, aka @joshthesk8ter on insta. Joshua first stepped onto roller skates at only seven years old and began pursuing jam skating at the age of 14. Since then, he has developed into an explosive competitive jam skater known for combining power, athleticism, musicality and crowd commanding performances. Joshua’s growing list of accomplishments includes becoming the 2025 Men’s Summer Jam Champion and earning recognition as a JSL Competitive Jam Skating National Champion. His skating has taken him across the country, allowing him to compete, perform, collaborate and represent the next generation of jam skating at a high level. Beyond competition, Joshua has also used his experience to help teach younger skaters and encourage the continued growth of jam skating. Through his performances and content as @joshthesk8ter, he continues to showcase the creativity, difficulty and athleticism behind the style while helping push skate culture forward. In Episode 126, Joshua joins me to talk about beginning his skating journey at seven years old, becoming a jam skater, developing his signature combination of power and control, competing on the national stage and handling the pressure that comes with performing against some of the best jam skaters in the country.

On Episode 125 of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, I sit down with competitive jam skater Tayden Webb from Utah. Despite being one of the younger members of today's skating community, Tayden has already built a reputation as an incredibly talented competitor with a bright future ahead of him. Sponsored by UNIQ Skates, Tayden shares his skating journey, how he developed his unique style, what competitive jam skating has taught him, and the work that goes into continually improving both on and off the floor. We also discuss traveling to events, the pressure of competition, representing a skate brand, and the importance of staying grounded while chasing bigger goals. As always, the conversation goes far beyond roller skating. We talk about dedication, personal growth, the friendships that skating creates, and what it means to be part of a community that continues to inspire people of all ages. If you've watched Tayden skate, you already know his talent speaks for itself. But after listening to this conversation, you'll also get to know the person behind the footwork. His humility, passion for the culture, and commitment to constantly getting better are exactly what make him one of the young skaters to watch.
