Yep, I've been on the board recently mate, when I came on the weekend, uh, posted up on my story on the Instagram there that little park I've been to a couple times. Little park under a bridge but it's got a really nice ledge to ledge, manny to manny sort of thing. So really good fun, no that's good flat ground there as well and it's normally fairly quiet. Turn up there, start having a good skate.
Small boy turn up, just as baggy closes me, probably about the same age as us. DC's. Into the DC's. He's wearing the new John Shanahan's.
Nice! Which colour was you wearing mate? Um, it was the black colour like. Nice.
Yep, yep, with the strap, looked good. He had some, uh, cash only trousers on. He was looking at the part mate and he was like, ah nice DC's, he's wearing some blinks obviously. We just got along really good.
Was it you from a different universe mate, a different dimension? You just popped in? A Canadian me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Canuck, go fill. Yeah, it was really good. Canuck, fill. Yeah, so that was awesome.
Had a good little sketch together and then he asked me for the game escape. I've been in a game escape in Canada for a long time, so a bit nervous. Obviously I came out on top, you know, I got a round of ten outside some boys. Well also mate, I'm not going to like, blow so much smoke up, will's ass.
There's too much, but Willie's good at a game escape. He's got a few weapons. You know, like I can trust I've got a couple of weapons I know most people don't have, right? I've got a couple.
But I think, yeah, because you've got the burial heel and stuff like that mate. You know, not many people have a casual burial heel, which doesn't happen. Do you know what I mean? Whereas, you know, my front side flips one of my kind of moves, but you can still hit a front side flip.
Obviously you've probably not been hitting as many as me, you know, working on them as much. But you can still hit them. So for many angles, you're kind of quite, you know, you've got your fundamentals that switch flip kick, you know, you've got all the heel, switch heel. So you can flip the ball around on most tricks, whereas a lot of people, they'll kind of pick where they flip the ball around.
You know what I mean? Like, they might do a switch front shot, but they wouldn't be able to do a normal switch up or vice versa. You know, whereas I think you're, I'm trying to think what is my point of mate? Without, you know, I don't want to put your blaster after you.
What would you say? What's the trick that you don't want someone to hit you? If you don't want to say this, because obviously that's what the kingdom mate. What are the all the ones for you that you don't want people to touch you on?
I still might get them, but in would heel. Regular back, regular backside heel. Yeah, but you could get them. Or you're going to get a good, you're going to get a credit card, right?
One of the two, you know, you're going to miss the heel. Or you're going to take a spot. You're going to take a spot. Yeah, real nice one.
Yeah. And a burial flip. I can do them, but it's like, it's almost the, you're in a game of scale. It's your set kick flip time or somebody else has done the kick flip.
Then you get the little, oh fuck, I hope I land this. I should land this. It's that same mindset with a burial flip. I know it's just a pop shove with a little flick out the side, but do I practice it?
Do I fuck? No. So it's a rolling the dice on those sorts of tricks. Well, do you remember the last time when you were down when we were skating in Enchim?
And we tried to get all of them, which I think we could take it all of them. Every variation of the burial flip. But even the breaks one was a, that was like trickier, I think, for us than the other ones. Once you get the first, like, because we're just over-otating or just, because we're trying to do a real one as well, we wanted to get it a shove it.
We didn't want to just flop it over. So there was a bit more kind of like class to it than just trying to get the fuck over. But some of the other ones, I think, are a bit easier because you kind of, I don't know, you don't do as much. You don't have that mindset of trying to pop it more or trying to flick, you know, you're just trying it when it's a switch on an alley or whatever.
So you're just taking it how it is. Yeah, it's a fun trick, mate. It's a good trick to play with. And then right with Mr Shanahan, you know, can I fail wearing a right shoe for a burial flip?
That's cool. So did he hit you with a burial flip, mate? Or did you even come up? I don't think so.
Can you remember to run through? What was your... Were you a gentleman? I'm always a gentleman again, especially if I don't know you very well, unless you kiss me off.
Yeah. So you've been a gen with an Oli or you go back one eight, you first. I did get first set. Okay.
So was he a gen? He did. He was a gen. Backside when eight, he was thrown.
I can't quite remember what else. But when... But yeah, I also laid down a Nali Frenchove, Nali backshove, Frenchove. You know, you got to warm it up and you got to have a little bit of respect as well.
Yeah. What was the first trick you thought I'm going a little bit kind of like heavy on him now? I did a Nali tray first go. And this is what I know he wasn't ready for it because he thought it was fakie.
Oh, man. Sorry. This is a straight way as well. Did he ask you or did he try and do a fakie tray?
No, he just went straight for the fakie tray. Yeah, yeah. There's not a chance of you allowing that fakie tray. I mean, I have hit a Nali tray, but like I could hit a fakie tray as well.
Whereas a Nali tray is getting that fakie all the way round and over and landing it on the upside down. That's the hardest thing. It spins really well. But getting it to come over again is always the...
Suppose you got to go wait for it, hang a bit more, wait for the fakie to come round rather than... Because a fakie always seems to rise. You can always... You're always catching a fakie one.
It's not a fakie tray. You're not really with and fakie trays. No, no, you're not. It's always a strong connection.
Whereas the Nali one, yeah, I always... Because I've landed some really... I was stationed days, I was working on them. I think they're feeling pretty good.
It wasn't getting them consistently, but you know, maybe like one in ten or something. Working on them. But I knew what I was doing. But you're getting excited that you want to fakie land a new trick or whatever.
So it always land upside down every time. And on the wheels as well. That happens. Because like, you're fakie would have landed it volts as well, but you'll be landing on rolling off the wheels.
Yeah, on the tracks. Yeah. So I'm going to finish with me. I think it was a switch flip.
Yeah. It's a good move. It's a good move. Yeah.
Always a good... Just one of those ones, you know, happens or it doesn't sort of thing. So it's quite a good one to set. Yeah, I always find the mind, I think, when we're skating last as well.
If I just do an impromptu, I'll get one. If I start concentrating on it, it does. And my Noli flips as well. First try, I'll get a Noli flip.
I'll kind of like make it happen. And then when I try and refine it, that's when it goes horrible. Yeah, when you go back to it. Pinging it down, like just rolling across the ground.
But yeah, switch flips. Yeah, I do enjoy it. Was it a good one? It was a nice one.
So you felt like it was an imp or a straight for me. Other days, the ball doesn't even rotate, you know, or it just doesn't even do anything or a backside flip. Like you're either landing it straight on it, no problems. Or you'll just know where near the board.
I mean, you're one way or the other on the board. So I think it's just, if you're having a good day, you can battle through, can't you? You can find your balance again. Maybe hit some manuals, do a couple of little cheeky, like stranger maneuvers that just kind of harmonize yourself with the board.
But I always feel like you kind of know, you'll know straight away. If you land that sloppy kick, look at the start of the day. It's not one of these days. Yeah, not with these.
I didn't deserve this. Yeah, it's always something, right? Yeah. That sounds good though, mate.
That's a nice little impromptu game, keeps you in your toes. Yeah, right. No, it's good. Got the guys' contacts.
So I might even hit there today and see if he's going to come down. Nice. So that's good. What's the key to his name?
I can't remember, Ryan. Yeah. Couldn't have been. Yeah.
Yeah, I can't remember. Honestly, I think he told me that by the time we finished the game, he was just, yeah, man. And it's too rude as well to like. Yeah, later on in the day.
Especially if someone's calling you by name as I was like, fuck. Like, why did they remember my name? I didn't remember their name. Yeah, it was always worse when you can't remember.
Yes, well. Yeah. Yeah. It was a really nice bloke.
What's his name? Yeah, it was named. It was just a nice bloke. He was a nice bloke.
He didn't get it. And his Instagram handle is not his name, obviously, either. So is it a name that you could use for him? Or is it kind of, you know what I mean?
Or is it not one of them? I'll probably just have to ask him. I'll just do him or something. Yeah.
Yeah. I hope someone else turns up and says his name or something like that. Yeah. We'll just have to have a name conversation to see if you like, get him to say it.
I feel like we're building up with anxiety for you the next time you say it with a mate. Do you know what I mean? There's this little something bubbling underneath that you're going to have to kind of like, fuck up the courage or something. You figure out how.
That's for you. You can let us know at the next time if you can. Yeah. That's it.
Well, I suppose you might jump straight into the actual subject matter of the podcast. They make, we've been waiting patiently for this video. There's had the trailer. I think it's probably a month ago.
Yeah. Fory's been on the charge trying to, you know, get that. Last year. Chago's fucking, he's having something to say about it.
He's probably left it a little bit too late, but he is having something to say about it. It could be his third part, I think. Yeah. He's had a couple of little parts out of any.
Exactly. So he's close. But what I'm vibing from one of the clips I've seen, which was a flip 50 down a kinko and a drop in it as well by Boy. It seems like it's solidified that he has got to get rid of this.
I don't know if you saw as well, but probably within the week, I think it is during the week, maybe. He had a, uh, out there, like a fresher out there. And you know, if you're doing one of those, they're just kind of talking about you and your little back story and putting the shine on him again. You know, just, just pushing him right up there.
Exactly. Just strapping the rocket, you know, the rocket on him, just to push him, just giving that little extra no, I mean, they know it surely. You know, everyone, this is, this is an undisputed year of Boy. Yes.
And hopefully this video after watching it, I'm going to be, I'm going to be, I'm going to be, I'm going to be, I'm going to be, I'm going to be. I'm going to be completely convinced because he is just, you know, he was in, we did our top skates, you know, the top skates, all time draft. Yep. And we, you know, that's going to just hang, just, you know, hang in there because it's going to take us a while to really kind of hammer that out.
Oh. But for, he was in our list and I'm, it's, I think it's, it's fair to say he deserved to be in there. Yeah, 100%. Yeah.
So this is, yeah, this is a skate companion for the new balanced numerics in sports video. I've got it on the Thrasher YouTube channel. It's 24 minutes and 19 seconds long. So it's a decent length mate.
Nothing too long. Too short. Three parts. So I'll just, I'll just read the released on the 15th November, 24, it says from start to finish the power trio of Westgate, Chicago and Foy deliver an awe inspiring performance.
This video will live on for eternity. That's both fucking words, mate. That is. That's both words.
Is it fair? You know, is that fair description of it? It's a, it's a good description of it for sure. And just the weight, all three of those names hold.
I definitely didn't think I'd be having a Westgate Foy and Tiago trio, obviously knowing they're all on the same team, a little treat for us, but I wouldn't have guessed, wouldn't have guessed that mate. Yeah. And before we do the countdown and press play and get locked into this companion, what are your thoughts on you balance, mate? I mean, I don't see you kind of wearing a set of new balances.
I can see where in some Tiago is probably, you know, there are beefy issue and everything. And it wasn't really, I don't know, when you see a new balance industry, you kind of think more of the hipster kind of, you know, well dressed people, you know, it's more of like a hipster gimmick. It's not, it's not really the skating side of things. I don't see it as that anyway.
Not knocking a shoe at all, not knocking a manufacturer's. I'm just saying how it is. But you think this video, it just feels like we're kind of, it's just turning a little bit. And these, you know, the new balance crew are definitely kind of like, they're stepping up to the table now.
They're saying, no, we are just like, I guess, being done, just like, how do you guess it's done? Yep, 100%. And a new balance, like you said, with this trio, you can see this trio on a shoe team. This feels like, I don't know, do you know what I mean?
This feels like it's a new era. Yeah. You know, they've got some, they've got some, they've got some, they've got some Reynolds on the crew as well. So they've got the Legacy skaters, they've got JKs, you know, they've got a super team mate.
I just, exactly, Tom Knox and from all this stuff I've been seeing from Andy, that's recently, great, you know, again, great skaters that they've got. I had probably a bit more kind of like, grounded street skaters, you know, not on this higher level of skater. They're slightly, slightly lower. No disrespect to those guys, you know, it's just how it is when you're up against Boy, Jago and Westgate.
It just feels like, Andy, that's more of like the, you know, the, more of a lower league, sort of, this is like a super team. You know, they're still churning videos out, not knowing near the same caliber of skating either mate. It's slightly sloppier, stylish skating, which isn't, you know, street skating and street skating, you got landed tricks right, so that's how it goes. But it feels like this and the production value, this is what I've seen from the promo material.
This looks polished and we're talking skating polish, you know, the top pros and backed up with a big brand and the production value as well. It all seems like it's, Adio, one step beyond coming again, you know, that sort of deal. Yeah, no, I agree with you mate, fucking. We've been watching New Balance come up and creep up and it was always hard to tell from the start, especially before skateboarding, so we knew balance were just a random pair of shoes that is just a reasonable price, you know, my dad's probably wearing them and someone else who don't skate.
And now they're really starting to get that solidification, you know, they're really getting up there, they're really smashing it with the team, and they're giving everyone the pro shoe, they're giving everyone the time, and what we're going to watch here. Another really good video, so, you know, they're making it happen and funny with what you're saying, I think they've had their good period and now they're kind of down at the moment. I feel like Nike's being a few other characters are ahead of them, and above them, and you know, they might just be going like this forever. They might go up, they might come down, and a lot of it's going to depend on the team and what they're pushing out, and they stay in relevant.
So I feel New Balance is keep himself pretty relevant for the past three, four, five years. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, definitely agree. I'm just going to bring this to the table.
I'm going to have a beer with a fellow manual skater like, so I find transition skater Taylor. Nice. And just having a beer and we're talking about, you know, four, and we're talking, you know, just New Balance and things like that. And he said, there's one bugbear, and I kind of see where he's talking from, he doesn't like the fact that the names of the pro shoe obviously has got their name on it, but it's also the number, and he doesn't really like the number, you know, the fouries, whatever it is, the 308 or whatever it is, you know, three or six.
He doesn't really like that. He'd rather it just be the New Balance 41 or the New Balance 42, you know, and I kind of agree with him, but then you have to weigh up the fact that that is their gimmick. So they're going to be intrigued to himself by doing that and not breaking their mold. So I'm kind of on the fence with it, but I understand where he's coming from because you do like it to be the boy rather than the number.
If he was on that team or a first pro shoe, come on, man, you're on your fucking, you're on your, what makes a pro shoe for personless, having your name on it. You know, you'd be walking around with 105 on your shoe. That means nothing to no one unless you know you're 105 years old or something. Interestingly, on the Foy out there video, his house number is 306.
They grew up in his mum's house. And he was kind of hyped about that. I don't know if there's anything else that's 306, but we didn't hear that when we was looking at the 10 times. But yeah, that was just like the higher the number, the more technical and stuff like that.
So cool, hearing it from Foy, but I would throw a six, Foy or something like that. Or just Foy, I think would look and sound better. Yeah, but that's kind of, I do like that because if someone gave you the pro shoe and you balanced, you had a certain number that had a significant kind of, you know, feeling vibe, whatever moment you were looking at the 10 times. So, you know, feeling vibe, whatever moment in your life, any date of a blah, blah, blah, blah, it might be cool to have a number.
Sure. But yeah, I'm kind of with Taylor. I'm kind of with Taylor that I'd rather just have four in big, rather than number in big. You know, that's something.
But you know, that's new balance is probably him. So, Fep, I'm not knocking it for him. Well, we may as well dive in mate. I think we've shot the breeze long enough.
It's time to get stuck into the video. Oh, yeah. If you haven't done a skate companion before, we just get it video in front of us. So, I'm just going to go ahead and watch this along.
And I'll just count down 3-2-1 and we'll press play and we can just watch along me and we'll kind of commentate through a few orgasms of Jamie Boy in the SBSTS, things like that. And you'll just get our first take, so we'll second take on this on this occasion. But you'll get our reactions straight up to bat watching the video. So, you lined up mate?
Yeah, I'm all lined up and ready. I've got my advert. Listeners, you're lined up? Yeah, well done.
I'm all lined up. So, I'd say 3-2-1 play and we'll go together. 3-2-1 and play. So, I've got the Thrasher Burning Logo.
It's a nice peaceful music coming up mate. I like this. Some new balance. New balance logo just growing in there.
Probably cinematic music coming in. Yeah. So, good way of doing it mate. Nice slow start.
I can always fire it up afterwards, can't you? Oh yeah. There we go. New balance logo.

Here we go. Intervals. Title sequence over. Who do we start with?
Looks like we've got Chiago to start with me. So he's talking about he's missed someone doing a trick. He wasn't there for it. Nice.

Oh. So take it. That's got to be the end of that. Yeah.
That's his ender. We've got Tiago. Top of the stairs. Oh.
