    #244 - Shan, Ti, and Jim: 2024 in Review.

    Shannon Farrugia, Ti Coleing, and Jim Turvey reflect on the year that was 2024! The boys discuss their favourite guests from the past year, THT's foray into video production episodes, happenings in Australian skateboarding (and the world), shifts in skate culture, Thrasher SOTY predictions, how watching Neighbours helped Jim survive tonsillitis, symmetrical egg-shaped board trend, the importance of role-modelling and mentorship, world affairs, and much much more. Good episode with good, yet somewhat awkward humans.

    Thanks for listening, happy new year and I'll be back January 2025!
    Shan 🙏

    (Audio-only) #242 - John Bogaerts: Bonzer. Newcastle. Family. Friendships. The Force.

    What happens when a passion for skateboarding meets a life of public service? Join us as we navigate the fascinating journey of John Bogaerts, a former professional skateboarder turned dedicated police officer. Along with his close-knit friends Mike Cossettini and Sean Mussett, known affectionately as Gravel Burns, John takes us back to the birth of the Newcastle skateboarding scene. From the early days at Bar Beach in 1979, where fiberglass quarter pipes first made their mark, to the vibrant community that blossomed from these beginnings, we reminisce about the friendships and experiences that defined this era.

    We explore the impact of missions to the USA, and icons like Lee Ralph and Gregor Rankin on Newcastle's skating standards. John shares stories of regular road trips to Mona Vale vert ramp, the sheer excitement of competing at the infamous Ridge Street ramp in Mereweather, and then the iconic Bowl-a-rama events at Bondi many years later against the likes of Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Kevin Staab.

    This episode is somewhat of a heartfelt exploration of the many facets of a skater's life, including John's transition to law enforcement and the eventual reconnection to his skateboarding roots. John discusses the thrill of premier skate facilities emerging from bold visions and the camaraderie of community-driven events like the Australian Bowl Riding Championships.

    There's a full video production this week in which John shares never before seen archival pictures and footage. Worth a watch.

    Enjoy,
    Shan

    #241 - Aaron Brown: The Timeless Medium of Film Photography.

    Join us as we chat with the charismatic Aaron Brown, whose skateboarding photography defined the Australian scene throughout the 90s and beyond. Discover how Aaron's early skateboarding roots continue to influence his artistic vision, and why he remains devoted to the depth and tonal richness of film photography despite the lure of digital.

    Aaron takes us on a nostalgic ride through the skateboarding communities of Sydney's North West, celebrating the camaraderie and creative sparks that shaped his career. He reflects on the evolution of skate photography, contrasting the technical challenges of film with the convenience of digital formats. He reminisces about iconic magazines and photographers who inspired his unique style, how he was able to generate a liveable income from shooting skate photos alone, working for mainstream media companies, and the creative projects he has invested in since.

    From capturing legendary skaters like Matt Mumford to winning unexpected photography awards, Aaron’s stories are a testament to the unpredictable yet rewarding nature of life and art.

    Shoutout to this week's guest co-host Jim Turvey!

    #240 - Cary Pogson: The Omni Boards Story.

    From crafting surfboards in his parents’  West Pennant Hills garage, to becoming a renowned skateboard manufacturer with his brand Omni Boards, Cary Pogson takes us on an extraordinary journey through his life so far. Alongside this week's co-host, and journalist, Jim Turvey, we explore Cary's passion for supporting local skateboarders and his commitment to preserving Australian manufacturing in the face of global competition.

    Cary breaks down the craftsmanship involved in skateboard production, emphasising the importance of quality materials and the balance between traditional methods and modern techniques. Cary candidly shares the lessons learned from producing boards for other brands and his journey back to reviving the Omni brand once again.

    We reflect on his challenges and triumphs. Cary highlights his ongoing efforts to nurture the next generation of skaters as a key motivation for the vision of Omni.

    Cary and the Omni Boards legacy is vast. It is one of dedication to craft, community and culture, a reminder that passion holds more value than profit. Always.

    #239 - Ty Neilson: The Sk8 Shop Owner Diaries.

    Meet Ty Neilson, a beacon of resilience who has risen above his challenging past to illuminate the path of a better life, and skate shop ownership. In this episode, we unravel his journey from a tumultuous upbringing in a government housing area, to finding solace and community in Skateboarding… and Cricket.

    Ty reflects on the importance of local skate shops as community pillars that not only provide the tangible items required to skate, but moreover, the intangible elements; a sense of belonging, inspiration and significant cultural influence.

    Ty’s journey is one of perseverance and commitment. He recounts the day he chose to walk away from financial security by quitting his job as a concrete cutter, and spending all his house deposit money to open a skate shop. A small price to pay in order to follow a dream, and not work for someone else’s.

    From the emotional ties to skateboarding culture and its role in the Olympics to the societal judgments and stereotypes we all grapple with, this conversation is a heartfelt tribute to personal evolution, and why some things just aren’t worth stressing about.

    Mike D. RIP.

    When was the last time you heard a story where skateboarding, art, and personal resilience came together in a beautiful tapestry? Join us as we sit down with Chris Yeoh, the visionary founder of Amnesia Skateboards, in the heart of the Paint Studio communal art space in Marrickville, Sydney. Alongside our guest co-host Steve Tierney, who has been an artistic force behind Amnesia's graphics for nearly two decades, we navigate the rich history and spirit that have defined one of Australia's most enduring skateboard brands. Chris opens up about his personal journey from Newcastle, NSW, reflecting on how art and skate culture have been integral to his life.

    Chris shares candid stories of Amnesia's journey, touching on the relentless balancing act between a day job and creative pursuit. He recounts the challenges faced, from production mishaps to the emotional weight of losing his brother to cancer. Chris's heartfelt account of turning grief into a meaningful art show for cancer research is a testament to how skateboarding and art can bring communities together for a greater cause.

    We reminisce about iconic skate videos, early skateboard models, and the strong friendships forged through skate culture. From the enigmatic stories of skaters like Ben Cox to navigating family dynamics, this conversation is a heartfelt ode to the enduring passion for skateboarding and the community it fosters. Whether you're a skate enthusiast or someone intrigued by the intersection of art and resilience, this episode promises a deeply nostalgic and inspirational journey.

    Purveyors of the finest CBD oils and topicals. I think long and hard about who I want to be affiliated with. Do the research yourself, the health benefits of CBD are unquestionable. It’s done so much for me, especially during times of stress and anxiety, it’s improved the quality of my sleep and sped up my recovery-time post workouts, surfs and skates... and it’s all natural.
