In this episode of On The Grind, we join Delaware-born musician and skateboarder Chuck Treece, who came up in the ’80s riding for Bones Brigade, Powell Peralta, Airwalk, and more. Now based in Philadelphia, Treece is liminal in the sense that he operates in two worlds: one of a professional skateboarder and the other of a professional musician.
