We are finally back, and in the midst of the 2020 pandemic! Michael, Tony, Simon, and Bob talk freestyle! Join us!
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.
Behold! Or...rather...listen! Tony Gale interviews Dan Garb!
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 recorded this episode on his way to Paderborn this year, with hero of freestyle and driver-supreme Alex Foster, of LateTricks.com. So get something to drink, sit back, and pretend you're there in the car with them, Nathan Hill, and Nick Beaulieu.
Tony took a trip to skate with Marius, in Romania. Here is the interview!
We recorded this pretty early in the morning Texas time, so that's why I sound so slow and weird.
It's been a looooong time since we talked. We yammer about various gossipy happenings in the freestyle world, and Tony relates a class Fairbro story. So good.
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.
Once again, Nathan Hill joined me (Bob) to do commentary of the Pro finals at the 2017 World Freestyle Roundup. It was fun. Listen while you do something else.
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...
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...
In this episode, we discuss freestyle skateboarding, with some additional discussion of psychology, opiates, and mega-church preachers. Laziest intro I've ever made for a podcast!
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.
