Great interview. Shier’s always been a favourite of mine and good to hear that they’re continuing with Isle.

I really wish I’d got the Shier Fairfield’s board for the wall. Would love to find one

Reading between the lines it seems like some of the team are leaving – I’m guessing it’s Tom, Caspar and Mike off to do something with Jake.

Yeah good to hear Isle isn’t done!

My mate distributes Isle here, I doubt he has any left but I’ll let you know if that’s the case.

Sick. Going in on this. Helena is one of my favourite skateboarders right now.

Although ā€œHer skills have attracted coverage from all uk magazinesā€ is underselling her a bit, innit? She’s way more global than that.

Really good Oski interview, once you get past the Dunk talk:

This bit made me laugh though:

Does he still not realise dragons have never existed?!

That’s the reason for having a shark logo? Sometimes I think it’s just better not to try and explain these things.

Surprisingly, the first question is about weed

That interview is cringe in parts.
He’s a supernaturally talented skater but Jenkem going for the Dr Obvious weed angle just makes him look daft.
If he really is smoking an ounce a day then I hope somebody intervenes quick.

EDIT - it’s the dad in me talking, not wanting to judge and he does say he needs to quit etc but hey ho

Aside from the weed talk he comes across well.

I don’t like Jenkem, can you tell?

No, that’s the explanation that Nike have woven into an image that they think will sell a shoe based on something Oski probably said once.
They did exactly the same shoehorning of the narrative with PRod’s second (iirc) shoe which had an oblique design reference to Alexander the Great who PRod was supposedly ā€˜inspired by’.

Nike is all about shoe narratives because it’s a hook to hang their marketing on.

No diggety to Oski though, he stayed at my house for a week once [/cmoac] and did the washing up every night. Lovely lad.
