Join us this week as we catch up with the iconic Chima Ferguson, who shares about his relentless drive, unique style and approach to life in general.  From the mental and physical challenges of landing "that" switch tre and the ollie over "that" double set at Martin Place, to the camaraderie and technical skill that define his career, Chima offers a raw, unfiltered look into his world. With insights from past guest Ti Coleing, we celebrate Chima's incredible journey and the unwavering bravery it takes to continue pushing boundaries.

We reflect on the experience of raising children during lockdowns, whilst Chima compares life in the United States to that of Australia, highlighting societal issues and the financial challenges that emerged. We explore the resilience required in both skateboarding and life, providing a profound look at how global events reshape our personal and professional lives.

Finally, we journey back to Western Sydney, reminiscing about the freedom of childhood and the evolution of skateboarding crews and sponsorships. From the early days of Globe sponsorships to the lasting partnership with Vans, we trace the highs and lows of Chima's skateboarding career. We touch on the impact of cancel culture, the importance of authentic personal expression, and the satisfaction of achieving long-term goals. Packed with stories of perseverance and growth, this episode captures the essence of what it means to be a skateboarder in today's ever-changing world.
Enjoy,
Shan
