This is my favorite episodes to date. Today I had the good fortune to speak with one of my dearest friends, my little brother Tomas Campos Fox. I’ve known Tomas since he was a 14 year old grom attempting handplants on the ramps of Tashkeel. He is now 24 years old and grown into an eloquent, thoughtful, and dedicated artist and skateboarder. We discuss Tomas’ current state of affairs, where he wants to go in his artistic endeavors, and the impact Tashkeel had on him as a young adult. For those of you who don’t know Tashkeel www.Tashkeel.org is an arts hub located in Nad al Sheba Dubai. It was started by Lateefa bint Maktoum Al Maktoum as an incubator for promising artists in the Middle East to enhance their skills through creative collaborations and access to a wide variety of tools and resources. Tomas and I wax poetic on this place that is steeped in skateboard lore, discuss the impact it had on both of us, and how we can use those experiences to carry the torch forward for future generations of youth to express themselves as creatively and beautifully as possible. It truly was a golden era in the developmental years of many a young boys and girls in Dubai. Please excuse the weird audio syncing as Anchor.fm is messing up and I can’t fix it. Sooooorrrryyyyy

Omar (homie, skater/surfer,amazing Photog, radical human being) is, indeed, alive and well and living in France (among other European countries) and, basically, rinsing life to the max. Skateboarding, surfing, #vanlife, beaches, ninja moves... basically any time a fun rinse is presented he’s already rinsed it, is currently rinsing it, or will rinse it soon. Been there... rinsed it w/ Omie the Homie @photo.omar PS we experiment with format in this episode so the conversation is kinda all over the place as we tested some new features. Sadly, our last epic convo recording had an audio glitch and we had to re-record.

Scott Chambers is one of our dearest friends and consummate waterman located in Dubai UAE. A Brazilian/Canadian transplant who found love for the sea through surfing, paddle boarding, fishing, spear fishing, and now legitimizing the fishing industry through his new venture www.seafoodsouq.com.

Clint is one of the most unusual characters humanity has ever known. Part enigma wrapped in secret sauce, part cleaning aficionado, part hyper-fun surf instructor... all friend. Clint has seen the world through many colored lenses and has lived to tell the tales. In this episode we discuss the inception of surf culture in Dubai and the subsequent evolution of the famous Surf House. We meander into a discussion on Morocco surfing and, more importantly, living. More than anything we are just two homies talking story and bringing the joy to all of you. Thank you for listening. Clint and Brad

Kenny and I thinking of different people to talk to for the podcast and sharpening up some ideas for the Iran episode with MJ Rahimi

Live at Sun Valley sports in Akron Ohio the home of action sports. Largest selection of snowboards, Skateboards, kayaks and other off-the-wall items. We interview DJ Reese’s pieces and talk about pretty much everything in the store For no good reason whatsoever but to entertain ourselves

Welcome to the wonderful and effervescent world of skateboard magician Joe Ledoux. Kenny and I go deep as Joe performs a magic trick on air and makes the whole world levitate in an instant. If you didn’t feel it well... then you didn’t listen to the episode. @joeledouxmagic

Kenny and I are just getting our feet wet with podcasting and decided to jump right in and take the plunge by recording an episode together. This is the unadulterated/unfiltered/uncut discussion we had. In this episode we made some pretty good progress by outlining an idea to showcase the people who spearheaded cool skate scenes around the world. Kenny has probably met and understood more of the personalities of skateboarding internationally than anyone else. We focused most of our talk around Skateboarding in Iran and then used that as a launchpad. We thought about telling the story of one countries skate scene a week and breaking it down into daily segments. Monday, as an example, would focus on the dude that started the scene. Tuesday might be about the person who was instrumental in the art around the scene... Wednesday, music... Thursday... etc etc. The main idea behind using this format is to stoke out people listening so that they start their own little skate scene. You never know... if a seed gets planted in one person’s mind you never know what could come of it. We want to stoke people by detailing those stories. If those stories spark another person to imagine how rad it would be to start their own scene then the goal has been achieved. This is a free form discussion simply brainstorming ideas. We plan to continue doing this as much as humanly possible to further focus the ideas into something super rad that gets people stoked.

Trying to figure out the format for this podcast and slowly making progress. Came up with some topical ideas including skateboard fashion emanating from homeless people, a new name for the podcast (share the stoke),

I’m restarting the podcast as of today. I’m not sure what direction I’m going with it but I wanted to start “doing” more than just thinking. In this episode I talk about how skateboarding has significantly increased in popularity during COVID, the Akron Railyard DIY spot, skateboarding in the olympics, congratulating all the new skaters out there and just warming up my lungs KB to figure out the format for this podcast. Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate you

If you ever wanted to hear Kuta Bali lore and understand how the island has morphed into this cosmic womb of love conflagrations nurturing its inhabitants to bed each night then you’ll want to tune in to this episode. Joakim is a good good Swedish dude that endures the Black Death of Swedish winter by escaping to Bali (leaving his wife behind) to enjoy Bali’s bosom. We take a meandering look at the bubble of Bali and all that has to offer... there’s no real intention for this episode except that I want to practice podcasting and using this Anchor App to publish better and better shit each time.

Matty Jackson, a twin of epic proportions from Australia, has gone on an epically failed mission to go surfing at Green Bowls on the Bukit Peninsula in Bali. We discuss how terrible the surf is, driving for no reason, Jamie Ireland and the rest of the crew’s viral illness, vampires blood, and Omar Al-Abbar’s black magic cures for anti-christ curses. Please enjoy and hit us up on instagram @skateparc with any condemnations, insults, or even casting a spell of love and intimacy.

JP is not your average camera nerd. This dude is the AB(-) of the bleeding edge skate filmmaking community. We discuss the RED Hydrogen phone, Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain machine interface company and the future of skateboarding “experiences”, and flying in fighter jets. Burn one down and... when you’re ready... press play. Enjoy!

Mike Poore is one of the lead filmers and editors for the legendary Ty Evans of Fully Flared, Yeah Right, and We Are Blood fame.

Please enjoy and thank you for listening!
