Denis Šopović of Sweden joins Tony and Bob to discuss the 2019 European Freestyle Championships, in Brandenburg Germany. This is part 1.
In this episode we discuss the 2019 Paderborn contest that happened back in July (was it really only a couple of months ago?), the demise of Broken Fingers Mag, and some other stuff.
Tony interviews Josh Dunstone on a train.
In summer 2018, young Nick Beaulieu made the trek from the United States to England and endured a car ride with British people to go to the legendary and mystical land of Paderborn, Germany!
Here's Tony Gale's Interview with him!
In this episode, Tony, Nathan, Michael, and Bob catch up after quite of few months of not podcasting. We cover the upcoming contest in Japan, new products, freestyle as it relates to bank skating and longboarding, and various other things.
Tony took a trip to skate with Marius, in Romania. Here is the interview!
Ahhh yes, friends, Paderborn 2017 has happened! As always it was a glorious celebration of freestyle skateboarding. Tony, Bob, and Simon traveled from just south of London to Paderborn, Germany with the elusive Scaife and our driving hero, ripper, scholar, and friend, Latetricks.com's own Alex Foster. There we met Michael, who had traveled there by train and later hitching a ride with a non-English-speaking German man who kindly gave them a ride.
This podcast was recorded on the return ferry from Calais, France, to Dover, England, by Simon Mroz. Surely the first ever skateboarding podcast recorded on a boat.
The first of Tony's recordings as he and most of the other Brits head over to the World Freestyle Roundup 2017, in Vancouver.
Listen to it. Sounds like you are THERE!
A few weeks ago the lads in England had a jam at Southbank. Simon was there with the digital audio recorder, and here is the resulting sound file, raw and unedited!
In this episode we talk about various different things, with no real direction, but it was a lot of fun and we hope you will enjoy!
Oh, here's the picture of Mac that we discuss...not doing freestyle but being a badass. So rad.
We talked to Terry Synnott - the LEGENDARY Terry Synnott - for over 2 hours. I cut a lot out. We still have a lot to discuss.
Terry is certainly one of the top 5-10 freestylers in the world. Though he's been plagued by injuries for the last few years, he is also one of the most well-rounded freestylers. Spins, handstands, rail tricks, imaginative footwork, difficult shove-it variations and combos - dude can do it all.
In this episode we really got into some of the technical aspects of making skateboards. Terry has learned a lot about this topic, and it shows in the great quality of both boards and graphics with Mode.
In Part 2 we'll talk about the actual act of skateboarding with Terry!
In which we discuss freestyle stuff as usual - such as...
- Some cool new wireless headphones that are great for FS practice.
- Young Alex from London's quick development as a freestyler and why Tony should fear him.
- The new Powell board with some funky glass laminates.
- Tony's recent demo.
- Michael's absence this week, in order to attend a Rubic's Cube festival.
- Board gimmicks.
- Etc, etc, etc...
In this episode we discuss toe spins, Broken Fingers magazine, and various other freestyle-related things, including a great new website.
The intro music is of course Black Sabbath's Neon Nights.
Here is Simon's G-Turn Toe Spin...
Part 2 of our 2016 World Roundup episode. In this part we are joined by Simon Mrozinski, and we talk, and a good time is had by all.
This is the first part of a 2-hour talk we had the other day, in which we debriefed Tony on his World Round experience. Apparently, fun was had by all and skateboarding still rules. Give it a listen.
We took a break, then came back to comment on the awards ceremony, and now YOU can listen to it over and over and over....
This year we did a live commentary of the World Freestyle Roundup via streaming audio. This is the unedited file from the Pro semi finals on May 21, 2016.

We begin this episode with a discussion of the new Bear "Polar Bear" truck, in the smallest size (105mm), which is well-suited to freestyle board width, and which Tony has procured for his own enjoyment.
I then edit out massive amounts of technical talk about trucks and bearings, and we move on to the actual act of riding skateboards and doing freestyle!
Tony is working on a very detailed review, with precise measurement, of the Bear trucks. Look for that soon on the website.
This is our first ever holiday episode. Yes, it is shorter than the last one! yaaaaaay!

What happens when we don’t talk for 2 months?
Well, we talked for 3 hours. I cut this down to just under 2 hours. Forgive us, but listen to us! We discuss the Mode Mike Rogers board, flat single kicks in general, the Tyranny of Concave, Mode FS wheels, Kevin Harris FS wheels, Seismic FS wheels redesign, and lots of other stuff.
Yeah, this one is a bit long, but I didn’t feel good cutting out too much. Listen in a couple of sittings if you like, but for episode 20 I thought we’d leave it long.
In this episode, Tony and Bob discuss recent freestyle skateboarding events they’ve participated in and/or organized, including their fun and epic trip to the legendary Paderborn contest! Plus tales of skating in London. Fun for all! Give it a listen.
In this episode we also go on about the brilliance of Alex Foster and LateTricks…which you can find at LateTricks.com!!!

The opening of this episode sounds quite majestic, so play it on some good speakers.
This is kind of a long episode, so get a nice glass, cup, mug, or bottle of your favorite beverage and stay calm.
The opening music comes from a couple of Godzilla movies, and was found on The Monster Movie Music Album. The closing music is the Bars, from Black Flag’s Slip It In album.
