TPM Episode 346: Ben Weis, Tribute Episode

Ben Weis was one of the most exciting, high-risk skaters of his time, and his life outside of skating was just as death-defying…until it wasn't. Ben recently passed away in a motorcycle accident, right when he was getting his crazy life back on track. On the podcast, I connect with Ben's closest friends, pro skaters, and his wife. I also added some audio clips from the podcast I did with Ben years ago and we put together a final retrospective of the one they called "The Ben Weis Show".
