The Skateboarding Show

My name is Brett, I live in the UK and I have been skateboarding since the summer of 1991 when I was 12 years old.
Since then I have learnt all about the scene: the pro's, the contests, the shops, the companies, the industry and the people. Along the way I have been involved in some of the industry, I have worked in skateboard shops, I have consulted with councils, I have and still continue to teach skateboarding and recently I have been creating my own media around showcasing the amazing community of skateboarding. I created, produced and presented a radio show about skateboarding out of a radio station here is Gloucestershire for 3 years from Jan 2011 and then turned it into a podcast. Recently however I have decided to create more visual media, but in my own style.
In my opinion there are plenty of media creators producing edits of people skateboarding, high quality, well produced edits of professionals performing incredible, sometimes once in a life time, skateboarding feats. As much as I like those, I also feel that they are not representative of real life skateboarding. Professionals are not the only skateboarders, in-fact they make up a small proportion of the whole community of skateboarders.
Therefore, what I am doing is producing talk based media where I speak with real everyday skateboarders, asking real questions that are relevant to the real world of everyday skateboarding. Occasionally my videos will involve some "celebrities" from the world of skateboarding, but always they will be based around representing real life skateboarding. With that in mind, the videos will also have a strictly no editing rule. I am not going just going to pull out the best, the most sell-able, the most common, the most trendy answers to my questions. Everyone's opinion counts, that's the point.
So that's who I am. I will also produce written pieces every now and then where I explore skateboarding, its meaning, its gifts, its up and downs, all based on the years of experience I have.
Of course, I will also be getting out on my board as much as I can as well...
