Terrible. Happy. Talks.

Meet Ty Neilson, a beacon of resilience who has risen above his challenging past to illuminate the path of a better life, and skate shop ownership. In this episode, we unravel his journey from a tumultuous upbringing in a government housing area, to finding solace and community in Skateboarding… and Cricket.

Ty reflects on the importance of local skate shops as community pillars that not only provide the tangible items required to skate, but moreover, the intangible elements; a sense of belonging, inspiration and significant cultural influence.

Ty’s journey is one of perseverance and commitment. He recounts the day he chose to walk away from financial security by quitting his job as a concrete cutter, and spending all his house deposit money to open a skate shop. A small price to pay in order to follow a dream, and not work for someone else’s.

From the emotional ties to skateboarding culture and its role in the Olympics to the societal judgments and stereotypes we all grapple with, this conversation is a heartfelt tribute to personal evolution, and why some things just aren’t worth stressing about.

Mike D. RIP.

Join us as we sit down with Chris Yeoh, the visionary founder of Amnesia Skateboards, in the heart of the Paint Studio communal art space in Marrickville, Sydney.

He recounts the challenges faced, from production mishaps to the emotional weight of losing his brother to cancer. Chris's heartfelt account of turning grief into a meaningful art show for cancer research is a testament to how skateboarding and art can bring communities together for a greater cause.

We reminisce about iconic skate videos, early skateboard models, and the strong friendships forged through skate culture. From the enigmatic stories of skaters like Ben Cox to navigating family dynamics, this conversation is a heartfelt ode to the enduring passion for skateboarding and the community it fosters. Whether you're a skate enthusiast or someone intrigued by the intersection of art and resilience, this episode promises a deeply nostalgic and inspirational journey.

Join us as we get to know Amiee Massie, a skateboarder, content creator, and Olympic skateboarding judge. Aimee shares about her captivating journey from growing up in a housing commission area of the Gold Coast, to her current life of global travel, creativity, and developing her personal brand.  Steve Tierney, sits in as co-host this week, and adds another layer to the conversation, making it a robust discussion about passion, resilience, and crafting a unique path in the skateboarding world and life in general.

Aimee's narrative recounts her early days; an unwavering commitment to her dreams and an obvious gender imbalance at the skate park, a place she also found solace from a seemingly confusing home environment as a teenager. Hear about her viral rise on social media, her challenges balancing multiple commitments, and the rigorous physical demands of aging in a craft that demands peak physical performance. From knee dislocations to the exhilaration of being included in skate demos along side her childhood heroes, Amiee's tales offer a raw and inspiring look at the grit required to excel in whatever you choose to do in this life.

Shan

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.

This week, we dissect skate park reviews and etiquette with Leon Paxton. Leon shares his journey from avid skateboarder to online personality, offering a view into the dedication behind his craft. Along with Steve Tierney, this conversation dives into the heart of skate culture and the onus of passing the torch to the next generation with respect and authenticity.

Navigating the digital sphere isn't easy, and challenges the culture as we know it.  However, Leon's tale of personal growth and adapting to the ever-evolving social media landscape gives a unique perspective that might put the gatekeepers and nay-sayers on notice. From letters, to PO boxes for stickers, to direct messages on Instagram, engagement with fans has transformed, and so has the path from passion to career. We examine the resilience required to stay true to one's self, as Leon shares his transition from vehicle bodybuilder to personal trainer, and finally to YouTube connoisseur amid the worldwide upheaval brought by COVID-19 lockdowns.

This episode is a great conversation that examines the individualities of skater styles, setups, ands revels in the personal expressions that make skateboarding the colourful mosaic of creativity that it is.

Enjoy,
Shan

Nostalgia hits hard as Sean Mussett, the one-eyed legend of Australian skateboarding, takes us back to the gritty golden era where the skate scene was as raw as the elbows we scraped. With his tales of vert ramps and punk bands, Sean – our very own Gravel Burns – pairs up with skate historian Jim Turvey to lace up the narrative with rich skateboarding lore. Their stories span from the iconic "drain" to the Mereweather ramp and beyond, painting a vibrant picture of friendship, rebellion, and a shared passion for skateboarding.

We explore the deeper imprints of skate culture on personal growth and societal shifts. Sean's path from a visually impaired kid to an inspirational figure in both the skate and education worlds is a testament to resilience. The conversation takes a dive into the reinvention of school learning amid government lockdowns, how skateboarding blurs the lines between sport, art, and entrepreneurship, and the interplay between generational trauma and progressive shifts in community values. Yes, we go deep, and the topics are stacked. We don't hold back.

Wrapping up, we're not just talking about perfecting fakie pop-tarts on vert ramps; it's about embracing the ethos of kindness and positivity Sean embodies. This ride isn't only about the thrill; it's a life lesson in authenticity, the importance of staying true to oneself, and fostering a legacy of improvement for our youngsters. So, hit play and join us on a journey through time, culture, and the life-affirming philosophy of "not being a dick".

Enjoy,
Shan
