#146 - Will, Tobi and Jonah: RIP Mavs, from the Next Gen with love.
Episode description
This week's guests are Tobi Wilson, Will Morgan and Jonah Sullivan. Recently, Will hit me up at the skatepark and said “Hey Shan, on your podcast, you said that young people need to be given a voice, so why haven’t you asked me and my friends to be guests on the show yet?” (or something to that effect). And he was right, I did say that, and he fully called me out...I was impressed. This episode is a fun snapshot of a crew of young skaters that aren't dis-similar to those in your local area, anywhere in the world. Young, inspired and bold. We discuss our shared love for skateboarding, photography, the importance of being in with your crew, fashion, vaping, and having to build a DIY skate spot in a derelict carpark because the local government won't (but to be honest, I think we like doing things without them anyway). So here they are, Will, Tobi and Jonah, on the cusp of adulthood (whatever that is) and poised to leave their mark as the next generation of rippers. The boys are with me live and on location at Kingpin Skate shop to share their journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future (and the future looks bright).
Enjoy!
Shan
