Interesting. It was āBig Spinā on the ads and boards. Iād have liked to know a bit more about what happened there.
Good interview though.
Didnāt he have some Cadillac ads too?
He certainly had one that I know of, in RaD, 1994.
I have a weird feeling itās in the one with Shipman doing on ollie over a red bar in Worksop, could be the Channer Kennington one though.
ha ha. Itās a good read. Couple of claims in there which are dubious but in general, its a really good insight to his view on film-making.
Deffo a good day for interviews.
I really need to get on with work.

Itās so true. I always correct @Mark when he tells people he was āonā Shortys, Zoo or Habitat. heh heh.
ā¦but honestly, it still goes on. Dudes from distribution companies pumping up the tyres of young johnny when in reality, the main brand people have no clue who they are and arenāt really interested.
But that said, there is a LOT of good going on now with companies acting more global and actually giving a shit in dealing direct, etc.

Felt like they were kind of made to wait for Powell to do something more with their Euro thing.

Yeah, you see; that is the flipside of it - whilst perhaps Sean Ward being on Plan B was a huge claim, I think Faze got a lot of shit over the years, but my reality is that Joe/Faze did more than probably any other distributor for British Skateboarding at the end of the dayā¦

Sounds like Flip wanted to still be the daddies of the UK even though they abandoned their home.

I did a little interview with Mike re the Euro Brigade era for an article in an upcoming Free.
Powell were way ahead of the curve really

What kind of injustice is this? what have you done in a past life for this to happen?
