Now that the Brooklyn "Big Banks" are back open to the public, we wanted to hear some stories from New York City OGs about grittier times in Lower Manhattan. Our first episode is with Bruno Musso. Interview by Blair Alley. Enjoy! And to clarify, that's Jahmal Simmons on the TWS cover, and Jahmal Williams in the goldenrod shirt.
Where do you start with skateboarding Hall of Famer Grant Brittain? From working at the Del Mar Skate Ranch photographing Tony Hawk as a kid to being one of the founding members of TransWorld SKATEboarding, shooting some of the most iconic skateboarding images of all time—and still doing it to this day! It was truly an honor to have this legend on the pod. Listen in as Steve Fletch, Mitch Hartman and Blair Alley chopped it up with J. Grant Brittain. Check out our Grant Brittain x Lance Mountain ...
Kerry Getz joins Mitch, Steve, and Blair. We watch Kerry's classic part in TWS' Feedback that he shared with Bam Margera and Mike Maldonado. We also watch his pre-Toy Machine Fairmans 3 part. We of course ask how he got on Habitat—the story is pretty rad. We go through the lucrative Habitat and DVS years, find out how much a top-level pro was making in those years, and what eventually led Kerry to ride for Terror of Planet X. Kerry was a great guest! We can't thank him enough.
Mitch, Steve and Blair have Podus Operandi's first guest, filmmaker Jason Hernandez who you ought to know from his time at TransWorld making some of our most memorable videos and going on to Nike SB to make the best videos they've ever put out. Who were the best and worst guys to film for TransWorld videos? How about for the Nike SB Chronicles? All that and more revealed in this episode.
We sat down once again with Steve and Mitch with the idea to watch a classic TWS video and "live-critique" it. Wanna know who was in those nameless montages? You gotta stick around for the credits. It was a time of 16mm film montages, lots of bums and the TransWorld video with just three parts. Tap in to hear who the fourth part was supposed to be, where the taxi came from and where it ended up, a little-known TWS T-shirt that was made from this video and more.
Mitch, Steve and Blair took your questions and comments from our IG posts and went to work. Who hates black wheels? Do we "F" with the current trends in skating? Which brand has the most bloated pro roster? All these fun topics and more in an all new Podus Operandi.
Join us with Steve Fletch and Mitch Hartman as we review some top categories of 2023: Best rookie pro, best indie video, best big company video, best video part, best and worst shoes, biggest brand fumble and more!
We wanted to do a Podus Operandi episode all about the new skate shoes that have dropped since Mitch and Steve did their Dead Air Radio episode about shoes. And we also had the idea to bring back Skate Nerd for a game against these two East Coasters. So sit back and enjoy the trivia and shoe news.
Season one, episode two, and it's all about four-one-one! Mitch and Steve join Blair Alley as we dive deep into the 411VM catalog to recount all of our favorite features, jokes, goofs, bails, Best Ofs, and much more.
After Blair Alley was a guest on the Dead Air Radio podcast with Steve Fletch and Mitch Hartman, we decided to try our hand at podcasting over here—because the world definitely needs another skateboarding podcast... We didn't have any delusions of grandeur for the inaugural episode—we were just going to talk about current events, break out the Randomizer, etc. One of the hot topics recently was the premiere and world tour of Josh Stewart's new Static VI video, so Steve and Mitch suggested, why d...
