In Part 2 of Episode 17 of the Then And Now Blading Podcast with Fritz Peitzner we talk about big wheel blading, his skate shop Carriers, and the severe head injury he received from his fall during the Pow Wow competition at the beginning of Covid. Fritz details the fall, its impact, his long road to recovery, wearing helmets, and how the injury has changed him. Make sure to check out part 1, where we discuss Fritz’s skating history, growing up skating at Eisenberg’s Skatepark, the Dallas scene, skating in competitions, and his travels around Europe and South America with his friend Josh Glowicki.You can watch Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/NojvjTsWWm4This interview is also available as a podcast on all major streaming services.
