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:


Vaughan Baker:

[rejectpaul]

Thanks for the kid episode!
Was really good,

[GuessAgain?]

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!

[BeAWitness]

The kid episode was great! Thanks for what you guys do. Sending love from AZ

[BAGHEAD CREW]

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

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....

[Alien Weedchop]

Keep up the good work, would be rad if you could get Simon Evans on. Alex Moul as well.

[BAGHEAD CREW]

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)*



Anthony Claravall, 411VM filmer and worldwide traveller and filmer extraordinaire!



Mark Brinkers AKA "Skatevideofreak", has one of the craziest skateboarding media collections and plans to take it to the U.S congress.



**A GOLDEN EGG
