EPISODE 234: ROBERT GUERRERO

Robert Guerrero grew up during the intersection of the internet and inline skating. Meaning he made friends all over the world via AOL chat rooms and lived a double life…Loner student during the weekdays and popular street skater on the weekends.  Eventually, Rob G became a legend within the sport, known for both insane rails as well as some of the most creative skating ever seen.  Throughout this time, Rob lived a spiritual, nomadic lifestyle that eventually takes him to an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru.  This is where he ends up getting shot in the face at point-blank range.  Hear all the details in the podcast.
