Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well!
A little while ago myself and my friend Toby started a podcast called The Brain Drain Show with aims to interview some of our favourite skateboarders. So far, we've interviewed a bunch of really great dudes;
Lord Div Adam of Anti Hero
John Benton of Fancy Lad Skateboards
Zick Zorlac & Dan Cates from Death Skateboards
Lee Dainton, Matt Pritchard & Dan Joyce of Dirty Sanchez fame
Craig Questions Scott of Heroin Skateboards
Stu Smith from Lovenskate
Mark Munson of Airwalk, Duffs etc who guided Ben Raemers to fame
Morph (Palace Filmer) and many more.
I tried to embed the playlist but it didn't work so here's our latest episode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMsUe_aGjwc&ab_channel=Rollersnakes
We've got some incredible people lined up for 2024, including; Ali Cairns of Birdhouse Skateboards & Unabomber, Carl Shipman of Stereo, Vaughn Baker of Blueprint Skateboards, Mark Churchill, Pete Dossett of Deathbox (Pre-Flip), Craig Smedley of Unabomber and a bunch more!!
I hope you guys enjoy it, and send any recommendations for future guests.
-
Nice one. I'll give you guys a sub. Always good to see some UK content.
-
Good guests I’ll check it out
-
Thank you guys :-*
-
I watched the Morph episode when that came out, because he's dead funny. I'll be sure to check out the others.
Pritchard one should be funny, I loved Dirty Sanchez when I was a kid, they were nuts - it's remarkable how much Pritchard has changed with his lifestyle and how much he's killing it, because those guys went heavy with the ale. Good on him!

100% mate! They’ve all changed their lifestyles and they’re still smashing it to this day.
I was shocked to find out that Sanchez didn’t really take off til they were nearing 30. I’m 32 and just sleeping kill’s me now, so imagine those guys nearly dying every episode sends chills down my spine.

i nearly died when you and Questions were talking about Mike V.
Craig Questions is such a rad guy, my favorite skater. amazing artist. funny as hell.
subscribed to the channel a fiew weeks ago when you guys posted the preview after the shooting with him.
hope you get to shoot some footage for Heroin with the UK guys. love your work, and there hasnt been enough new footage of them these days. come one Fos, let em do it!
any chance you ever plan on getting Bromley or any Blast guys on there?

I can always ask bud. I’ll drop Bromley a call next week ❤️
There’s been talks between me and Fos about doing something U.K. related.
Ideally, I’d like to make a video with Dead Dave, Questions and Tom Day with maybe a short part from Pulman, a montage of any of the U.K. riders on Heroin + a short USA montage that Fos can cover his end.
Thankyou for the lovely comment, I’ve just messaged Fos about it. Let’s see what we can get up to 2024. I’m more than keen.
At the moment I’m working on another full length. Dave will have a part I’m sure, and hopefully another Pulman part too. Tom is super keen to film and so is Craig so something could happen I’m sure!

That line-up sounds like a dream come true. The world needs more UK Heroin footage. I would do unspeakable things for a new Tom and/or Craig part.
Also, the Baghead video's are dope af, Satan and Funeral are still in my regular rotation. The UK scene truly seems like it has something special, at least from the outside looking in. Thanks for killing it Forde!
-
Craig episode was fantastic!
Chris Pulman, Bromley and Rogie would be cool to hear from
-
Howard Cooke. Questions mentions him. Get him on.

Thanks man, it really means a lot! We're still going strong it's just figuring out everyone's schedules and working round it.
I've actually been going to Boston MA quite a bit to stay with Tomasello and the Fancy Lad guys, I love it out there. I've been looking into ways to move out to MA for the last year haha.
Full Tomasello being a creative weirdo is most certainly incoming, along with a bunch of great Fancy Lad dudes! I'm already hyped to get it out, it'll just take a while. Roll on 2025 haha
Thanks again mate! <3

Hey guys! We just had Chris Haslam on! thought some of you might like it <3

You should try and get the likes of Danny Brady, Nick Jensen, Paul Shier & Chewy Cannon on, that'd be sick.

100% agree, but they're all very hard to pin down haha. Paul is living out the country and Chewy is (I think) in Spain.
It's definitely worth an ask so I'll throw some feelers out there.
Anyone else from the U.K. you think would be good to get on?

Great episode, and love all the guests you’ve had on. Super refreshing to hear some honest opinions on some big names in the game. Carl calling Reyes a cock and Toby’s comments about Danny Way being a dick in a previous episode could only come from straight-talking Brits. Funny shit. Great work guys!
Would love to see some of the following UK legends:
Howard Cooke
Frank Stephens
Chris Oliver
Stu Graham
John Rattray
Ben Leyden
Scott Palmer
Colin Kennedy
Flynn Trottman
Rodney Clarke
Countless others.

The Shipman interview was amazing. Apart from the fact that he has the same accent as my dear old grandma, he shot from the hip in an honest way.
Sound bloke and the two hosts are the right blend of skate nerds and humans who know how to let someone express themselves.
I’m a fan.
-
Carl Shipman one was so sick.
-
Really enjoying these - soaking it up!! More!!

Easy guys! Hope you’re all well. Just thought I’d bang in the latest episode with none other than Skin Phillips. It’s a brilliant episode for all you skate nerds out there!
https://youtube.com/watch?si=smWJbw5J6aYXJSpo&v=kw0-g_YT06E
Here’s some of my favourite backlog episodes;

Wuzel of pre-flip skateboards, Deathbox OG;

Joxa Witchcraft/Dungeon legend;

Next up is Harry Lintell. We know he had a Nine Club recently but we wanted to go further into the British side of his skateboarding career and how he ended up getting a solid place on the Real team!
Hope you’re all well guys! 💖

Is Beth on Heroin? I've seen her getting flow decks, but I haven't been up to date since I deleted Instagram. She seems like a dope person nonetheless, I'll definitely be tuning in.

She is! We talk about it in her episode. She’s officially the first female to skate for Heroin Skateboards which is rad!

Hey everyone. hope you're all doing well.
Here's the two latest episodes we've done and we've got some absolute bangers on the way in September!
We've somehow managed to secure podcast episodes with Anthony Claravall and TJ Rogers!
Jason Adams:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0RphHmJ-HE
Vaughan Baker:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TiwuYYQqXE&t=7s
-
Thanks for the kid episode!
Was really good,
-
Recently got into this show after watching the Vaughn Baker ep, such a refreshing podcast!
Can’t tell you how much I love hearing people geek out over the uk skate scene. There are so many amazing stories out there and i’m so glad you guys are documenting it.
From pros who might never get a 9club call to general legends who have been pivotal in the growth of the scene and pro’s careers.
Power to you lads, keep up the great work!
-
The kid episode was great! Thanks for what you guys do. Sending love from AZ
-
Thank you so so so much for all the nice comments in regards to the podcast, it really means a lot!!!
Our latest is TJ Rogers, followed by Brandon Valjalo (South African rider on Shortys, Nike, Red Bull etc), Bonkers, a fella from Denmark who’s collecting & digitising as much physical skateboarding media, eventually presenting it to the U.S. congress as a historical piece & opening a museum (he also works with skatevideosite) then Anthony Claravall which we’re immensely stoked on as we got to go full camera geekery.
We’ve even been in talks with Dan Magee & it finally appears that we’ll be doing an episode very soon, so stay tuned for that one!
I hope you’re all doing well, thankyou again for the lovely comments :D

Watched the Kid Adams episode.
Used to skate with Nick Warman in Bahrain, so watched that also. I was the "older mate" who left the island for him to be the only skater left there... haha..
Also watched the Pancho episode as I used to skate with him in South Wales.
Keep it up. Better than the 9club....
-
Keep up the good work, would be rad if you could get Simon Evans on. Alex Moul as well.
-
Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas, too!
Here's a few episodes we've done recently.
Chris "Avi" Atherton, a U.K. legend but I'd say mostly known for the incredible video "A Golden Egg" (Will also attach at the bottom for anyone who hasn't seen it)*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UICr01fsyV0&t=1s
Anthony Claravall, 411VM filmer and worldwide traveller and filmer extraordinaire!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IsmaN1ytus&t=3s
Mark Brinkers AKA "Skatevideofreak", has one of the craziest skateboarding media collections and plans to take it to the U.S congress.
