For Episode 16 of the Then And Now Blading Podcast, I speak to Damien Wilson. Known for his unique creativity and hammers, Damien was part of the legendary Santee Crew with Nick Wood, Lyle Shivak, Jimmy Ormsby, and Robbie Whitcomb. Damien's style falls into the realm of skaters such as Dustin Latimer, Mathieu Ledoux, and Eugin Enin. I filmed with Damien for almost every video project I worked on, including several complete profiles. It's been over a decade since we've last talked, so I wanted to catch up with him to see what's new in his life and his skating while reminiscing about the past.
