TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Right then mate, welcome back to Turbo Sports Radio issue number 26. Lovely. 2000 motherfucking19. Hey, didn't think we'd see it.

Oh no, and now it's funny because John has changed his piece. He's not actually, he hasn't got a bit at the moment. Got a lot better at skating. Adley!

He has. You can kick with it, can he? He's bad. Well, alongside me today, British 26, Mr Benjamin Smith.

Hey. What's your Instagram handle? Ben P.J. Smith, underscore.

No, he's underscore it. See, he's really... I've never felt the underscore in. You've searched Ben P.J.

and you've never found him. OK, fair enough. Anyway, so... We're going to have a nice debate today.

You've been there, I've completely what we're going to go on about. We're just going to go in there. So, let's get it going. There you go.

OK, so... 2018 was pretty good. It was pretty good to skateboard. They were in fucking detail.

It was good to go. We'll try and run through... I saw a person, maybe it was because I was more involved in skating. I saw a person like my favourite skating I've ever seen.

2018? I think 2018. Which was pretty good. Well, you've seen a lot more years of skating than I have.

Yeah, it was pretty good. Anyway, the topic, hot off the press, very hot. I'd say a couple of days old or whatever. Oh, days, I definitely have a right about it then.

So, Mason Silver. Yeah, he writes for Habitat. Element. Element.

Yeah, the last part in the element video. Yeah, it was at the Russia. Was that the one that Nigel shared a part in? No, no, no.

The last part, on that he released it, Evans Mispart, and he released his part on the website. Anyway, they cut. He's left them. He's left.

Element. He's left. He's left. When did he leave?

You announced a couple of days ago. So they gave him my issue here. This is my main issue. I'm not even scared.

Oh, give him a brilliant. I love your style. Politics wise. Come on now.

I know it's fresh. You know, I knew you fresh it out. All that sort of shit. That's my… Come on, they just gave me a last part.

They just gave me a last part. The biggest, big escape went company going. Yeah. Definitely arguably.

That's what I'm bringing to you. Yeah. And they give you, you know, Mason, you have the last part, you know, the people, the lasting people are going to see when they finish that video. Evans Mis… We all knew, really Evans Smith.

Oh, I'll mention about it. Yeah. I feel like Evan Smith hasn't, Evan Smith got last part and Mason Silver's part was whatever Smith's part was. and with the fight finale.

I'm not saying that Mason's part was my favourite part in the video. I'd probably say that's a Friday wedding wedding then Mason's so-called, you know, the order that I like it. But my point being is, fuck me, you've just been giving a last part, you can't just jump ship there. That's not when you jump ship.

I feel like, ah, it's got me some sort of, ah, it's like, give it at least like four or five months. You could work something out with whoever, I don't know where he's jumping to, he's the enemy. No, he's in the ocean, right? He's probably drowning, he's got a whole lot of element here.

He's probably gonna do real nice, like, rolly, wheely sort of luggage things. You know what I mean? They've got a proper luggage and ship, mate. They've just got one of them tied to him.

And that's fucking, there's a few boards in there. He's got a few boards in there. He's sinking, he's sinking. You're riding on the boards.

Nice, 60 quid boards, a lightweight, they're a good board. They've got a lot of technology there. They've got a fair light, they've got a nice, they've got everything that I just fucking come into the residence. Something like that.

They're saying in there, they're not going to be as webnetrified anyway. Definitely, I would. What you're saying about that, mate? I mean, have you, if you were Johnny Shipler, I thought everyone's name is, was the element owner.

You just fucking sorted them out. And we could see, I don't know how I'd react. I don't have any respect because I don't from Mason's still perspective. We don't know what's been happening in the background, obviously.

So he might have been, there might have been issues. There might have been loads of stuff that we haven't seen. Maybe he got last part, maybe he had to fight in a dick his knee heart for that last part. And then for all the hype to go to Evan Smith, like maybe that was what we were saying.

Yeah, mate. Because all we saw, Mason still had last part. Right, that's all we know. We don't know that originally it was going to go like Brandon Westgate, second to last part.

Well, here's one point. Here's one before you know, he's kicking up a fuss about. He might want to leave. Hey, hey, oh, mate, give me the last part.

And you can say, right? And then he goes, yeah, go on in. And then he comes to it. You know, that's, I think that's obviously as countries as it is, I don't think it's going to affect his.

I know it's capable of doing it in probability, like, you know, for companies to talk to one Mason still, because he did that fucking like the Adidas, like Formula Nine or something shit. You know, the, you can see it at the moment. No, no, no, no, that's my old silver. Detect.

OK. Fucking hell. Oh, fucking brilliant. Classic.

Classic. Yeah, anyway. But Mason still could probably do something like that as well, because he wanted to. Yeah.

Mason silver. Silvers probably did a window there. And it's really gone from there. OK, so that's from Mason silver.

Maybe this is a whole massive play that he's been working on. Maybe there's been issues. Maybe Nijus will be on a kind in the group chat. Send me them back.

Nijus, in the group chat mate. Oh, he probably is. They've got the WhatsApp thing on the Facebook one. What is the question?

Then what do they use? Because what do we use the Facebook message? I reckon, are they WhatsAppers? Because I have no WhatsApp.

They're not. I messaged there. And I messaged group chat. They are strictly imestaged.

That's a blue message. Blue message only. No green. I reckon Brandon Westgate has probably got a shitty android or something like that.

He's not running around the money. He's not going to be a bit part mate. Anyway, from the other perspective, you wake up. I don't know how skate politics work.

I don't know if there were contracts involved like that that he had to get out of. Surely if there's contracts involved, you know that he's going to jump ship. Or do you wake up one day and it's on Twitter that fucking Mason silver is riding a primitive ball or some ship? Well, the issue is that your contract could expire, for example.

This could happen. Your contract expires in February. You can take to me. Oh yeah, I've just got out of your things.

Don't worry about it. I'll speak to the accountants or whatever. But we're handling agreement. I'm going to stay with you guys.

Nothing legal. We may tell you. I'll buy into it. I'll buy into it.

Good lad. It's good. Good lad. But you've got fucking primitive round of corner going.

We'll give you god knows how many thousands a month plus or import. It's got a pretty lot. Surely. Mason silver.

I'm sorry. No, you said mild silver. Mason silver. Mason silver.

I think it's about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's a weird one because I just think you get that last part. Sure, you're not allowed to just fucking jump. I just went and I went.

Well, obviously you can't stop. No, no, no. If he wants to fucking ride for god knows who you ever. He's going to regardless.

But I just think like maybe as you're rising up through the skateboarding ranks, you have like sort of this. You say that down here, right, we're talking like by your feet level, right? You've got your basic, you're just starting out, okay? And from your knees to the top of your thighs, that's sort of like not the bulk of your career, but that's when you're starting to get any parts of a fracture and shit like that.

And you get sort of that extra level, which is from the top of your fight to the bottom, just underneath your netball. And that's where all of these like niger, Chris Cole, all of those are in that sort of tier of skating. Yeah. I think when you get to that level, you sort of lose your humbleness.

Maybe they don't. I'm sure if you met them in person, they're not going to be comes to you. I think when it comes to politics and then being selfish, because I have to care about themselves, I have to family to fiend and stuff like that. They sort of go, I need to go with them.

Money talks to them. But surely they don't for the level of skateboarding, but they still need to be the talent. There's a lot of money in element. There's a lot of money in all of those sort of top tier companies.

There's way too much money. I can't see someone other than primitive or real. I can't flip. I've got a lot of money as well.

It just wouldn't go to flip. It doesn't make any sense at all. I can't see it. Where the fuck do you go for?

If you hop top of element, Mark, we had a left flip. Go to element because it was where he started. Oh, fair enough. He was an am.

Well, his mason silver always be on element. Is that him? Was he with Nigel when he was fucking round with dreadlocks and shit? No, he's messing around.

I didn't know my research. But he's been on there for about. I think he's been on for about eight years. I'm going to pay out there.

I'm going to pay respect to my amount. I'm going to go for it. I'm going to take my source. I came from the barracks.

Obviously not many people actually go on the barracks anymore. Sorry, Steve. You're a legend to me. I was talking about this.

Steve Barrow, right? I've seen him post on Instagram. He goes on these rants. He chilled for about the last half of last year, 2018.

He chilled. I think someone took over. Don't go break. Probably went into half fuck.

What's that other skier? He probably went into Mikey Taylor's offices. It was like trading stock today. Have you seen this fucking Instagram Mikey Taylor?

It's all about inspiration. Make money. Do a couple of kickflips. Yeah, sell some.

What is it? That's the right mate. I've had some out of shit. I knew you.

I didn't have it. That's when you visited the barracks. When I shut down the barracks. What did you get?

Frontside flip down everything. Unlock. Unlock. Unlock.

It would be nice with me. I'm trying to kick the clip and everything. He's done that. He's got a frontside flip.

I've seen that. I've seen that. I've seen that. I've seen that.

I've seen that. I've seen that. I've seen that. Is there a lot of crap?

Yes. I watch a lot of Chris pastress, Stereo, no? Stereo skateboards. Do they talk about that?

They're fucking still about, yeah. Surely. I thought they'd die left to escape free from him? No.

We've got a signed board by Chris pastress in the event. I'm sorry, Chris. Which one is it? The June one.

The one's the one. The cookie monster. It's not a cookie monster. Red monster from McDonald's or whatever fuck is.

Anyway, we're getting distracted. Can't even get in there. Let's just assume it's right because I'm sure they check it. They would have tried it.

Exactly. Slappy. I think I should be a sloppy competition. championships were a title belt.

All these competitions, they give track this way. I think it should be belts. Yeah, it's going to be, like in 2019, I want to see belts. Yeah, exactly.

I want to see medals. I want to see medals. Not like, oh, yeah. It's not a medal, it's a medallion.

Yeah, I like that. I think that wants to be, it hasn't got to be real. It hasn't got to be real shit. But I want it to be more beef and skiing.

I want people to be skiing. Shit, shit. You're not even going to be skiing. Obviously I know the fucking, what's his name?

Obviously I know that Nigel doesn't hate PROD, right? But I want to see PROD just going into him on fucking Instagram. Talk to me. Just like having a screen recording of his fucking case, like, bro!

Just absolutely flaming the shelving. I mean, fucking, I did it. Just entertainment it, you know. And then that builds it up.

So when you do have battle at the Brexit, I think it's still playing into that character. And then it's, you know, it's... Exactly, mate. You know, maybe when they stood next to each other, you know, before they do a trick.

So like, they stared out, away in. You know, fuck off, puppy fix. Who the fuck, what just puppy fix? I'm telling you what, see Steve, you boy Eric.

Right? We need to be listening to this shit. Right? Which I'm sure you are.

Obviously the global fucking sensation. But that's a good idea, mate. You get a little bit of hype going on it. It's a bit more...

Because it's a normally good comedy. Yeah, no, they do have some funny shit. They're like, did you have to ship face? Oh, yeah.

His fre... You know, the three 16 with heels. How to make a skate film. Yeah, it's pretty good.

That was funny. It was pretty good. Funny as well. I mean, I hate that sort of skating.

But I hate that sort of skating. I don't like it when he does it. He's annoying for me. He's getting any kind that's good at it.

Yeah, but you can't make... You can't make... You can't make like a 540-year-old flip down the 12th step. Look good when you catch it when it lands.

When it's bouncing off the floor and then you catch it. You can't make a... No, you can't make a look. It's a bit of a sticky one.

I can't lie. Anyway, yeah. So we moved from Slappy Grinds to Baltsonshire. Moving back on to Slappy Grinds.

Did you see... It's a bit more local to be fair. Did they do something about Slappy's or I made that for the ballroom? I don't know.

I saw that fans... I saw that they were doing... Oh, it was a weird test. It was one of their shit shoes or something.

Oh, I imagine you probably did that. I can probably go about five kicks. It was a slappy deal. I just saw that they posted a picture afterwards of just a Slappy curb that fans had made just for this one.

I could play around. But was it an American curb? Wow. Describe to me an American curx.

I think it did. In the sense that it's... No, it was like dirty. It was angled.

It was angled. It was angled. It's not a slap grind. That's a fucking...

If I rolled up a vert, you know, and got a 50-50 stall and went back into it, that's the same thing. Just because it's on a small scale. Yeah. In England, if it's a curb, it's got to be a shit curb.

If anything has to be inverted. You want to be up in there. Yeah, like that. Oh, crucky.

Anyway, let's run back into 2018. Yeah. So, skate really year. We're just going to go over this.

Tieshaun Jones. Okay. Because we've spoken about this a lot. Lengthy.

Lengthy. No, no, because skating's skating. Skating's skating. So you can people, you know, earn it for a certain reason and they cannot get it for a certain reason.

There's all these shit going up in the air. I've changed my view on this because originally I was like, Emma's got Rob's. Why did Tieshaun get it? Right.

But now I look at what Tieshaun... I look at Tieshaun's part and I look at his skating and what he's done for skating as well. Because he is skating with the year skating wise because I fucking love his skating. But what is that?

Like what he's done? Not necessarily in skating, but as a human being, like his restaurant that you opened up in New York and shit like that. How many restaurants have I spent? Has he got any?

No, fuck it. So, I opened up my restaurant. That's it. That's it.

That wasn't a good example. No, but I've heard that argument by a lot of people. The restaurant thing. And don't get wrong.

That's fucking brilliant. I've put your money on your mouth. Yeah. I've played it.

That's a lot of money on your mouth. Yeah, but he's on the streets mate. Yeah, yeah. That's that.

I wouldn't have voted for him. I didn't vote for him. I don't know if that's what I classify as a year. It's what you classify as a year.

Yeah. I mean, we're not going to get into it. Oh, I don't know. I don't know if that's what I classify as a year.

I mean, we're not going to get into it. We're not going to get into why I think he picked by Sean. You can probably read into it. If you heard what I felt just said, I don't think that's completely, I don't think that's anything.

I can see why you think that, but I don't think that's completely true. No, I think it is. I think it is. But don't get wrong.

I think Sean, he deserved it. Well, that's shadowed out. Oh, 100%. Because it's a pretty part of his next level.

But he's just been on the ground. That's the thing. He's been out in the street. He's been out in the street.

He's been out in the street. He's been travelling like a motherfucker. So he was up there as well. They both put him insane.

But Chris Jocelyn, again, like I keep going back to, he did more fuck up shit than any of those boys combined. Back to 360 kickflips. I don't know what I think was in Berlin. I think he's in London, mate.

Well, let's just say it was in one of them. He's in Montreal, wasn't it? I'm pretty sure it's Montreal. Either way, right?

His ethnic part was so fucked up. It was so long. You can't remember the fucking tricks in it. It was just...

I think it's a ball. I think it's a ball. I think it's a ball. I think it's a ball.

I think it's a ball. I think it's a ball. I think it's a ball. I think it's an X or 18.

I do. If Chris Cole would have traded Wallenberg, right? Oh, fucking Wallenberg. That's perfect.

Yeah, but snapped it. I'd have liked it more. Yeah, I can see that. I can see that.

I can see that. I can see that. As long as you don't... You stomp it in like literally stop because you're breaking.

You stomp in a lead-eight pressure and you keep going out of shot. You want your feet up even. So you're having one foot over the bolts because you landed it bolt. But your back foot just moves a little bit and that's why you landed on the tail.

You're rolling away. You're at an angle because you're on the tail that's scraping against the floor. Yeah. You ever seen Wallenberg?

No, I've fucked. Where is it? I think it's an A or... I feel like you're fucking German's box.

It's a colourful one. If you know a Wallenberg in, go on to tebiscetradio.com. Go into tebiscetradio.com and tell us where the fuck it is. I'd like to know.

I'd like to get down it. Fuck this. I'd roll up to it. If we were there, we were there, not there for a weekend, but there for a couple of months or whatever.

Oh, isn't it straight away? Because you could fuck your skate now. If we were there, I'd definitely tell you you'd have to jump down it. Yeah, I could fuck it.

You know, you could flip it first try. But did you see when they did that? Oh, I completely got this in 2018. I was just like 2015, 2014.

Chris Cole, History of MBDs. Jump with that. And they were showing when they did Shina Nils, Nolly back, Nolly back heel. Yeah.

Back heel. He dropped in on a made-up look. They always do that. Is that apparently there?

No, apparently. Apparently, a story goes. I don't know what that case is. It's like, I'm not going to go.

There's an old, there's either Thrasherone, own the ramp. Someone owns the ramp and they can take that. Maybe it'll local. Or it's in some garden or someone like that.

It's in a driveway and you get it out. It's someone's going to go for a big boy drink down it. Just rock set to your front garden. You see Shina Nils on like fucking god knows.

The primitive lads. P-rod make fucking go get back in the van. Go skip the ledge to the bottom edge. Don't want to see you down fucking one of those.

That's not you mate. I'd like to see him down one of those. You want to make it down there? You won't switch front to the middle.

He's a fucking switch. I'm going to go back to the bottom edge. I'm going to say sleep with him. You've got the boxes, a couple of holes in the box.

I didn't even think about that way. You thought you might have just been. Yeah, I thought you had a little bit of an accident. Maybe it was fucking issue.

When you get hooked up at age 13, when you're 13, like, man. Moving on, moving on, 2018, we saw the rise, I think, 2018. Last half of 2017, the rise of Instagram skaters. And the rise of people getting thousands and thousands of views for doing, it's almost like a less and more scenario.

How do you feel about how Instagram seems like fucking for such a perfect example? Amazingly, he's a swanter when I just spit here. He was invited to the barracks. He's not even that.

And he got smoked. He got smoked because he's an Instagram skater. It's what I was saying. I would say that being a professional skateboarder, you can normally tell when someone's a professional skateboarder.

Well, for such a platter, brilliant skate, great style. He's going to be legitimate. He's getting into that standard. But he's not a pro in the same respect that I bring up a lot.

He's never going to be at that board like Brandon Westgate. Not many people can. My point is that if you want to be classed as one of the higher echelon pros that are going to go down in history, he's not going to happen for it. He's probably going to be at all because it's skateboard changes.

He's not like... And the thing is, it's more and more pros stop skating. It leads way further. There's a void that needs to be filled.

There's people... It's cunt, sorry. Like Mikey Taylor, we want to make fucking water. And we can go to Mikey Taylor.

It's good, isn't it? I see him on his Instagram fucking... What's he doing? He's like him talking in the car.

I'm only going to get back on to Instagram skaters, right? Mikey Taylor, right? He fucking... Oh, fuck.

What was I saying? What are you talking about, Mikey Taylor? No, not. I don't want to talk about Mikey Taylor.

On Instagram skaters. Yeah. So you were saying, remember a little while ago, you were telling me, when you saw Brandon Westgate skating, you saw that skating and you saw that professional skateboarder. Yeah.

I agree completely. But I think when I look at this actually plug, for example, right? Yeah. When I see his skating, I think that's a fucking...

Someone who knows how to skateboard. Do you know what I mean? When you can tweak your board, you can stick your amounts on a switch heel or a switch flip. You know what to do.

Do you know what I mean? Sometimes when you tweak like a dickhead like that. He tweaks, he tweaks, mate, when you don't need a tweak. No, because that's the gimmick.

No, no, no, no, no. Sometimes we don't think... What was that one trick? It was either a non-e-heel or a non-e-heel.

It was a fakey big flit. It stank out the room. Yeah. It was terrible.

He stank out that whole courtyard. Yeah. It was horrible. But you've got a 33, 33,000 views, didn't you?

I've got way more than that. Can you say it? No, I don't want to take this off the air. I want to take the turbo sports radio off the air.

Right? So I'm not going to get started on there. I'm not going to. I'm not going to.

Anyway, moving back on. He is a fucking good skater. Don't get me wrong. I think they've threw him into the deep end.

I think he said, I can get him up. Do you want to go and buy the brakes? Yeah, I can do buy the brakes. If someone's taking a win at all.

No, no, no, no. If they call me, I'll go for it. Yeah. I'm not looking for that.

I'm not trying it. If you've got enough fundamentals, that's the issue. That's my major issue. If you've got fundamentals, me and you mate, you're fundamentals.

But you've got fundamentals. So you'll be out of land to a certain degree. You'll be out of land. If you stink it out.

You'll still roll the board over and you'll get down on it and it can happen. Yeah. And then you might be able to get a stinky trick on something. I mean, I'm not against somebody's tricks now.

Yeah. Somebody's tricks now. You know, like how fuck was it? Skulls got that.

Switch flip. Leap shove. No, no. Chris Jocelyn.

Frontside shove. Late flip. You've got fucking old Lauren. Oh, don't.

Switch heel. Body barrel rebir. I mean that's bang out of order. It's ridiculous.

It's not fair. I'd probably start on you. Yeah. Well hold on a second mate.

You're just. You've got your cock out in front of my nissus. It's that sort of level. No, it's it's wrong on the topic actually what's about the barracks again?

Why are they still doing it? I get it, but they need to add fucking medallions or say it's got it's the say it's getting stale What I was interesting for the first two rounds maybe and then you watch the finals that realistically that's what people What I would do is what I would do if I would end and they got unfortunately gonna take a second 2019 is by the way, it's something like that. You got to take a step down right? I'm glory challenge, right?

That's how you do that's how you put the vents right? That wasn't easy. That's the best of this year. That's how we know that.

So they had their own world championship game escape, don't they? They're not dying. Dying. Yeah.

What my point is is I think the barracks should be the precursor to that. Yeah, have it all linked in? So I think you should have the just like America football as well. They're like East Coast, not America.

No, no, no, no, no, no, because we don't do it the same way. That's what I'm saying. We have a lead. We don't fucking properly.

That's what I'm saying, but you have a lead that goes into the lead. Yeah, no, no, no. You go to playoffs. Yeah, I got to get that.

So in America what they do, they'll have the East Coast teams playing against each other. The West Coast teams playing against each other. Go in the middle. Whatever.

Yeah, whatever. I don't really know what to do about this. They win and then it's like the top two teams going to the playoff, top two teams going to the playoff. So you could have a few tournaments about the barracks, right?

Yeah. Then there's... Oh, it's sort of like just meets in the middle. Well, you say it and then you might have like four champions.

We go to the East Coast champion, West Coast champion, the Central Champion Canadian champion. They'll find a glory challenge. Then you go to the Universal fucking Undisputed champion. So you have a skater go and the Slappy, they do the fucking massive Ollie.

They have all that. So you're saying we haven't escaped to all of those Chinese. No, no, no, no, no. I'm just talking about the skate.

I'm saying East Coast plays each other in the game. They get set to the barracks. Just at the barracks, it's a barracks deal. But it's East Coast.

East Coast. They have a West Coast. Just barracks. And then the barracks champions of all these ones then go to the Dime Glory Challenge for the actual world championship.

And now I won't tell anyone, no one loses in that situation. Exactly. You can say, well, I didn't win the Dime Glory Challenge, but... Dime, East Coast champion.

I mean, I'll give a fuck, but I'm basically only East Coast. Yeah. But at least... And the final is always good on the barracks.

They're always good. But Dime... They're getting better. Dime got this fresh deal.

Dime got this fresh deal. But they're always good. No, give me a good game. There's a lot of time.

That was fucking amazing. Why didn't they do that? Was that just some rented thing? That wasn't the case.

No, no, that's in Canada, mate. Oh, Montreal. It has to be. Only place in Canada.

You got Vancouver, mate? Probably. No. Vancouver is a skate cap.

That's North America. Yeah, so it's Canada, mate. It's North America. Yeah, you got North America.

Anyway. We're getting off-topic again. Mate, I did A-level talking mate. Alright.

Then he'd been trying to. I've got one GCSE. We went up. We went up.

We went up. We went up. What else? What else happened in 20 years?
