My guest on the podcast this week is Templeton Elliott.

Templeton is the founder of the mostly skateboarding blog and podcast.

I talk to Templeton about starting skateboarding in North Carolina, picking up a camera and filming his friends to moving to California to peruse it as a full-time vocation.

Templeton at this time Templeton started his now legendary blog, mostly skateboarding. After having his writing and blogging skills seen by the skate world he soon picked up work for the skateboard mag and various other print publications.

 Today Mostly skateboarding has morphed into is a weekly podcast that grew from a group of friends on twitter, including Patrick Kigongo, Mike Munzenrider , Jason from frozen in carbonite as well as Templeton himself. 

They cover everything in skateboarding culture from videos to bigger subjects, like does the industry need trade shows? An in-depth look at video preservation  in the latest episode, how to do the best brand roll out of all time and everything in between.

It was a real pleasure to talk to Templeton and the link to all episodes of the mostly skateboarding podcast as well as some of his video and written work, will be in the show notes. 

A small note this is the full conversation with Templeton and hopefully the Spotify subscriptions will begin next episode……

I do hope you enjoy this episode

Hi and welcome to the skate creative podcast, my names Joel Curtis and I’m a musician and skateboarder.

My guest this week on the podcast is Mike Manzoori.

Mike is a legendary skateboarder and was part of a generation of UK skaters who exploded on to the European and world scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Riding for companies Powell Peralta , Santa Cruz and later turning pro for ATM click.

Alongside his time in professional skateboarding Mike has had an equally industrious and successful career as a director cameraman and editor.

Starting off with influential independent UK titles like Sound and Vision in 1994, Mike has made and contributed to most important and seminal skate videos of the last twenty plus years.

I talk to mike abut all his time in skateboarding and film making, his work for 411, Emerica, Etnies and Es’, growing up in London and his life now settling in Los Angeles.

There is going to be a bit of a break now but I’ll back soon with more episodes hopefully in a few weeks time.

Hi and welcome to the skate creative podcast, my names Joel Curtis and I’m a musician and skateboarder.

This weeks guest on the podcast is John Rattray.

John works in consumer strategies for Nike.

Before this he was a professional skateboarder riding for blueprint and zero skateboards as well as having pro shoes for Savier and Osiris shoes.

After the death by suicide of his sister Katrina in 2011 John started campaigning for mental heath awareness with his projects the good egg and more recently “why so sad ?”.

Through these projects and his platforms as a pro skateboarder he has helped raise funds for Mental heath Scotland and the Ben Reamers foundation.

In this conversation with John we talk frankly about mental heath and also about the subject of suicide just to flag that for anybody in advance who might be sensitive to these issues.

John is also having an event at the loading bay skate park in Glasgow on Saturday August 6th.
