    Season 3 Episode 8 - Skate Every Day

    How difficult is it to skate every single day for a year? It turns out, a lot trickier than it was in your teens and twenties! Jobs, family commitments, bad weather, illness, injuries and general life stuff throwing constant curveballs. It was rad to chat with 3 friends who managed to skate every day in 2024 and this is a conversation about the why's the what's and the 'what were we thinking's' Apologies for the not so great sound, a few technical hiccups meant we couldn't use the mic and had to rely on the camera. Check out the awesome edit by Martin of the whole of 2024 condensed into just 16min. https://youtu.be/B_oti0LiToA?feature=shared Follow the guys on instagram Ric https://www.instagram.com/existskatestore/ Martin https://www.instagram.com/martipants88/ Simon https://www.instagram.com/simondark/

    Season 3 Episode 5 - World Mental Health Day, stomachs, anxiety and hosepipes down the throat

    A short solo one today. With it being World Mental Health Day I thought I'd add my experiences of the last 2 or so years into the ether. Stomach issues, almost s****ing myself on the regular, having a garden hose down my throat and a visit from the anxiety monster. And lactose can f**k right off (even if I do miss my greek yoghurt for brekkie)!

    Episode 3 with BJJ and movement coach Chris Leddy

    Chris is a BJJ black belt and movement coach from Dublin, Ireland who has also spent some time skating. He struggled with a pretty serious lower back issue for quite a long time before getting the dreaded surgery but through meeting the right people to help with his rehab is now back training BJJ and coaching others to move better and feel better. His experiences give him a deep understanding of what it feels like to be in pain and what you can do about it. I came across Chris through some online movement classes that I attended (still do), and really enjoyed his ability to simplify and coach what many consider complex movements and this immediately sparked my interest, also when I discovered he has also frequented the whizzplank lead me to get in touch and ask if he'd like to come on the pod for a chat. Really enjoyed this conversation combining two of my favourite things to talk about, skateboarding and movement. I strongly suggest following Chris and picking up some nuggets to help you understand human movement and what you can do to introduce some of the concepts to help you move and feel better.

    Season 3, episode 2 with Warren Stuart

    I absolutely love hearing peoples individual skate history, how they started, all the experiences they've picked up along the way. So many of us have similar but at the same time incredibly individual stories to tell. My guest for episode 3 has stories to spare, from picking up his first board in the 70s and discovering the classic London spots to setting up his own skateshop in Hong Kong, bringing some of the biggest names of the 90s over to China and now being heavily involved in getting some of the biggest skateparks in the world built in and around Hong Kong itself. We also talk about his cancer diagnoses, how he dealt with that and his new(ish) relationship with maintaining his health, strength and fitness to help maintain his radness levels. Be sure to follow him on instagram and check out his blog for more information on many of the things we talk about. Instagram Website
