TPM Episode 293: Eric Schrijn, Legendary Skater

The Powell Movement Action Sports Podcast

Eric Schrijn is a street skater with legendary status and infinite wisdom. He was the winner of the first ever IMYTA street contest, he’s had timeless video sections, magazine covers, pro model products and X Games hardware. While he was making this happen, he was also dealing with a family suicide, a diagnosis of bi-polar and managing all of that. Throughout it all, Eric has been on the forefront of progression as an athlete and as a person, he’s one of my favorite athletes to travel, hang and podcast with. Some good stories come out of this one.
