Episode 28: Terry Synnott – part 1

We talked to Terry Synnott – the LEGENDARY Terry Synnott – for over 2 hours. I cut a lot out. We still have a lot to discuss.

Terry is certainly one of the top 5-10 freestylers in the world. Though he’s been plagued by injuries for the last few years, he is also one of the most well-rounded freestylers. Spins, handstands, rail tricks, imaginative footwork, difficult shove-it variations and combos – dude can do it all.

In this episode we really got into some of the technical aspects of making skateboards. Terry has learned a lot about this topic, and it shows in the great quality of both boards and graphics with Mode.

In Part 2 we’ll talk about the actual act of skateboarding with Terry!

Episode 27: Election Time Chaos

  • Young Alex from London’s quick development as a freestyler and why Tony should fear him.
  • The new Powell board with some funky glass laminates.
  • Tony’s recent demo.
  • Michael’s absence this week, in order to attend a Rubic’s Cube festival.
  • Board gimmicks.
  • Etc, etc, etc…

Episode 26: Toe Spins, Broken Fingers, and other Foolishness
