For the second episode of the Then And Now Interview Series, I chat with Caleb Smith. Caleb is an aggressive inline skater who fell in love with big wheel blading and has taken distance skating to the next level. This year he has skated several thousand miles as part of his Midwest Ultra Series. In this interview, we talk about Caleb’s history in skating, when we met, his aggressive skating, when he discovered big wheel blading, his Ultra series, Camp SkateIA, marathons, making a living on skates, Dante Muse, his new sponsor, and much more.
