In Episode 102 of the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast, I sit down with Doug Crabtree, better known as Caveman, and we really go there.

Doug shares his early history in skating and how his home rink shaped his jam style. That rink hosted early members of the Break Skate crew, including Tony Zane and Diamond Walker, and being around that level of talent and innovation left a permanent imprint on him. You can hear how those early influences helped form his identity, creativity, and confidence on the floor.

But this conversation goes deeper than skating.

Doug opens up about his personal battle with depression and how stepping away from the rink impacted him. More importantly, he shares how returning to skating became a turning point in his life. The rink became therapy. It became community. It became fulfillment.

This episode is about influence, resilience, and the power of roller skating to bring you back to yourself.

If you’ve ever found healing at the rink, this one will hit home.
