Hi, friends. It's me, Molly. We are hard at work making brand-new episodes of Smash Boom Best, and we're gonna be back in just a couple weeks. We are so excited. But until then, we're sharing some fan favorite episodes, and this week we're sharing an oldie but a goodie. This is Skateboards versus Bicycles. Enjoy.

[upbeat music] Hi, I'm Molly Bloom, and this is Smash Boom Best, the show where we take two things, smash them together, and ask you to decide which one is best. Put on your helmets and get ready to sweat, 'cause we've got a super sporty showdown for you today. It's bikes versus skateboards. Which set of wheels will win, beautiful bikes or slammin' skateboards? This is gonna be a wheelie tricky debate to judge. Lucky for us, we have Jared from Armonk, New York, here to help us make a decision. Hi, Jared.

Hi. How are you?
Molly Bloom· Host1:13
Thank you for being here. So Jared, when I say bikes, what comes to mind?
Jared1:17
Uh, when you say bikes, triathlons come to mind. Me falling in fifth grade and scraping my elbow comes to mind.
Molly Bloom· Host1:24
[laughs] Aw.
Jared1:25
So I have a little bit of a grudge against it- [laughs] ... but I, I think I can get past that and be a good judge.
Molly Bloom· Host1:28
And what about skateboards?
