Tom Schaar and Elliot Sloan, Skateboard Innovators – UNLEASHED Podcast E507 – Monster Energy

Here’s the third and final episode recorded at X Games Salt Lake City 2025. UNLEASHED hosts Danny Kass and Brittney Palmer interview skate athletes Tom Schaar and Elliot Sloan on the sports and pop culture podcast. Recorded at the Utah State Fairpark and Event Center on day three of competitions, the episode gets into the competitive mindset of the two winning skateboarders, alongside special memories of action sports icon and podcast host, the late Luke “The Dingo” Trembath.

Inventing tricks and winning trophies: Tom Schaar shocked the skate world by landing the world’s first 1080 air at the mere age of 12. He has matured into one of the most versatile skaters in the world, with medals in Vert, Pool, and Mega Ramp, along with countless trick innovations under his belt. Plus, a silver medal from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Equally inventive, Elliot Sloan has expanded the sport’s trick vocabulary with his signature Cab heelflip Indy 720 and earned wins in Vert, Big Air, Vert Best Trick and MegaPark disciplines. Between them, these two innovators own 33 X Games medals, with Schaar holding 17 medals and Sloan 16 medals, a lot of heavy metal for a special podcast episode! What’s more, the two skateboard innovators look back at their favorite moments with the late action sports icon Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, only on UNLEASHED!
