Digression: Stu Robinson Interview
Interview from Sidewalk 220 Portrait by Ryan Leathem Let’s start off with your life growing up and how you started skating Stu. I’m from the Cave Hill area of North Belfast. I had a normal childhood, doing the normal things that kids do; playing football, climbing trees. Then I was in Easons in the Abbey...
TheDeafWord: Kyle Beachy Interview
Amongst all the skate publications, websites, catalogues or whatever it’s possible to slap photos on and jam words alongside, most writers will struggle to play cleverly with words or be inventive enough to prevent the reader from skipping the intro straight to the crux of the feature (wait, wait, there’s more). Kyle Beachy’s insights to...
20 Years of Girl: Spike Jonze Interview
Long gone are the days of Jean-Michelle and Coach Larry sussing each other out. Jean-Michelle said himself, without the help of Girl and Coach Larry, he never would have skated in the Malibu contest: Mister Larry recognized that the kid had heart. So here we are 20 years on, trying to make sense of it all....
20 Years of Girl: Rick Howard Interview
This is the first of five ’20 Years of Girl’ interviews we did just under a year ago. Better late than never: He’s not lost, he’s awesome, Girl are no longer seeking anyone to take him of their hands and his attitude is now up to scratch when shooting action or lifestyle photos. You missed...
TheDeafWord: Chris Thiessen Interview
Every skater out there has at least a few Transworld videos that they hold close to the heart. Chris Thiessen has to have skating videos that fall into that category too. The only difference? This time around he’s continuing the Transworld video legacy as the man in charge. We caught up with Chris to be...
TheDeafWord: Jimmy Carlin Interview
Jimmy Carlin’s skating speaks for itself. Despite his classroom clown image in skateboarding the fact is he completely rips. Not to disappoint, but he’s a relatively normal person and much less hyper than we expected. It must come out in bursts? We caught up with Jimmy to talk about the move from Mystery to Enjoi,...
TheDeafWord: Brian Lotti Interview
Look through Brian Lotti’s art to journey through cheerful colour, lively expression and landscapes with character that almost beg exploration. To put his work plainly, it will temporarily allow you to holiday from the weather conditions that we’re accustomed to at this time of the year (had to be said). Of course, Brian’s modesty about...
TheDeafWord: Wes Kremer Interview #2
You all know about Wes Kremer’s lack of an iPhone, his refusal to take photo incentives and of course, how much he loves to roll – ambiguity eh? So rather than rattle on, I’ll let the catch up with Wes speak for itself. Enjoy – Photography – Mike Blabac Interview – Stephen Cox ...
TheDeafWord: Rob Mathieson Interview
Rob Mathieson is one of those dicks who is unfairly exceptionally talented at two different things: skateboarding and illustration. Well, he’s not a dick really. In fact, he’s a really genuine guy (which on top of his talents sort of makes him a dick). Rob’s wonderful illustrations grace all sorts of bits and pieces of...
TheDeafWord: Graham Tait Interview
Three issues in with the fourth on the way, Graham Tait’s magazine predominately featuring Scottish skateboarding content but also reaching further afield, is receiving nods of approval and fist-bumps from all over due to its film-only/non-digital photo policy. I recently spoke to the Focus Skate Shop manager, photographer and skateboarder about how it all started,...
TheDeafWord: Dave Chami Interview
Hi Dave, how are things? Good, just in Sydney, Australia at the moment. My wife, son and I had to come back to renew our work visas. Actually, about 5 minutes ago the courier dropped by with our passports with the visas. Happy days. Yeah, we’re good to go for another couple of...
TheDeafWord: Nick Boserio Interview
When I spoke to Nick Boserio a few weeks ago he was in high spirits. After all, the beginning of The Cold War Tour was the next morning, he’d had a beer or two, and he expects to reside in the US by the end of the year. We spoke to Brass about his part...
