March 26, 2019 06:00 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com Now then flower. It’s a veritable War of the Roses this week as I welcomed my favourite Yorkshireman onto the show for a proper northern summit meeting. Schoph is a snowboarder, artist and all-round creative powerhouse, and his story is one of the strangest and most interesting in action sports. Today, he is probably the most sought-after artist in snowboarding, exhibiting at packed shows around the world, creating successfu...

March 22, 2019 07:00 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com I reconnected with an old friend for episode 073 when I met up with Vernon Deck in Laax. Vernon is a snowboard photographer who has been working in the industry for two decades. Today, he works as Volcom’s main Snowboard Photographer, travelling the world and working with riders like Arthur Longo, Elena Hight and Jamie Lynn. That’s a great gig that would probably warrant an episode on its own. But there’s another side to Verno...
Episode 072: Nicola Thost - Game Changer
March 15, 2019 09:29 - 41 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com I’m really proud to have snowboarder Nicola Thost on the show for episode 072. As snowboarding’s first female half pipe gold medalist, Nicola stands as one of the key figures in freestyle snowboarding history. More importantly, she is hands down the most influential female rider of her generation, somebody who grabbed competitive snowboarding by the scruff of the neck and dragged it kicking and screaming into the future. In doin...
Episode 071: Lea Brassy - The Art of Simplicity
March 08, 2019 13:59 - 51 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com A real reflective treat of an episode this week, as I am joined by surfer and waterwoman Léa Brassy in a conversation recorded in August 2018 down in Newquay. A lovely, light and artful chat, this, as Léa talks me through her life and passions. As a surfer, free-diver, spearfisher, film-maker, ocean advocate and writer, Léa has been courageous enough to follow her own path in life and is deeply thoughtful about her relationshi...

February 21, 2019 14:09 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com It’s been two years in the making, but for episode 069 I finally bagged one of the big beasts of the snowboarding world: the great Jeremy Jones. Jeremy is a true icon. Firstly and most obviously, he’s one of the most legendary freeriders ever, helping to push the boundaries for over two decades now through one of snowboarding’s most influential riding careers. He’s been equally influential as a film-maker, through projects lik...

They ...
Episode 067: Mickey Smith - Land of Wonder
January 23, 2019 17:03 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com I’m back after a short new year hiatus, and am starting 2019 in style by finally snagging one of my most requested guests: the great Mickey Smith. Mickey is an influential photographer, film-maker and all round creative force of nature who is equally acclaimed for his work as a musician, whether as part of Ben Howard’s band, or through his own A Blaze of Feather project. A Cornish waterman who spent his formative years chasi...
Episode 066: Tim & Gendle - Christmas Special!
December 24, 2018 09:30 - 2 hoursFull episode info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com Yep, it’s a full mince pie and secret Santa-themed two hour special with the great Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle, universally known as Tim and Gend. I’ve been meaning to get these two giants of the UK snowboarding scene on for months now, and my first ever festive special, recorded over mince pies and Twiglets at the start of December 2018, was the perfect opportunity. If you’re not familiar with the work of Tim and Gendle, then ...
Episode 065: Dan Milner - Universal Traveller
December 18, 2018 23:18 - 1 hourFull episodes and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com Episode 065 and it is the final part of my loose Kendal Mountain Festival omnibus this week as I chat to photographer Dan Milner about his career and life in travel. A truly fascinating story this, as Dan recounts the long, strange trip he has been on since the early 1990s. As a photographer and writer, Dan is equally at home documenting political unrest in South Africa, following Jeremy Jones throughout the making of the Higher/De...
Episode 064: Jenny Jones - The Jones Supremacy
December 11, 2018 01:00 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Just where do you start with the great Jenny Jones, surely the most influential British snowboarder of all time? Sure, these days she tends to be defined by THAT podium in Sochi back in 2014. But this was just one small part of an illustrious, legendary career that has now spanned almost two decades. The fact is that Jenny Jones raised the level of UK professional snowboarding at a critical time during our collective developmen...
Episode 063: Leo Houlding - Spectre
December 03, 2018 22:31 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com New favourite guest alert! I very much enjoyed this serendipitous conversation with climber, adventurer and explorer Leo Houlding, recorded at the Kendal Mountain Festival in November 2018. Leo was at the festival to promote his film Spectre, about the expedition of the same name that saw him and companions Mark Sedon and Jean Burgun kite ski across Antarctica before attempting to climb Spectre, a peak deep in the Transantarcti...
Episode 062: Alan Rushbrooke - Notts Landing
November 28, 2018 10:22 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com ‘Please get more skateboarders onto the show’ is definitely one of the most common bits of feedback I get here at Looking Sideways Towers. Which is why it was such a pleasure to welcome Nottingham’s finest, Mr Alan Rushbrooke, onto the show for episode 062. Alan is one of the key figures of 90s/00s skateboarding, with a career that perfectly mirrored the wider trajectory of UK skating as the scene stepped out of the shadow of t...
Episode 061: Dave Mailman - Survivor
November 22, 2018 12:14 - 2 hoursFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Longest ever episode! Yep, settle down for two plus hours of chat between myself and the great Dave Mailman, my guest for episode 061.

In the first part, we cover Dave’s incredible three-decade long career during which he’s taken held every conceivable job in the industry...
Episode 060: Neil McNab - The Purity of the Turn
November 12, 2018 19:46 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Now this one has been a long time coming. I get a lot of requests to feature specific guests from listeners to the show, and one name has been coming up consistently since I started: Neil McNab. Why? Because among the European and global snowboarding community, Neil McNab is a legend, respected as a rider and above all somebody who has always trodden his own path. From the early days bashing gates as a racer, to the progressi...
Episode 059: Ross Edgley - The Great British Swim
November 05, 2018 15:56 - 58 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Actual legend alert! I have to admit, the first time I heard of Ross Edgley’s plan to swim around the coast of Great Britain I thought he had absolutely no chance of completing it. Swimming six hours on, six hours off - for over 1500 miles? It just seemed too vast an undertaking to contemplate, let alone actually complete. Then, like many thousands of others, I became hooked on the whole crazy story, following Ross through hi...
Episode 058: Todd Richards - Action Sports Senior Citizen
October 23, 2018 12:13 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Hossegor omnibus! Yep. I headed to France for a quick 48 hour Quik Pro trip, and ticked off three podcasts while I was at it. This first instalment is with somebody I had an inkling would be a great guest, and he didn’t disappoint: the great Todd Richards. The word ‘legendary’ doesn’t really cut it with Todd, who during his 90s heyday helped set the standards that continue to define snowboarding to this day. Todd’s what you m...
Episode 057: Rob Machado - The Arc of Friendship
October 16, 2018 12:04 - 48 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Its always great when the legends live up to the hype - and that was definitely the case when I welcomed Rob Machado onto the show for episode 057. Rob was in town to promote Momentum Generation, the new documentary that catches up with the iconic Momentum crew 25 years after they first came onto the scene via Taylor Steele’s classic film of the same name. It’s a compelling watch, and the film doesn’t shy away from tackling s...
Bonus Episode: Noah Lane
October 11, 2018 11:54 - 44 minutesNoah Lane bonus episode! In October 2018 I found myself in Strandhill and arranged to meet my friend Noah Lane for a quick catch up. Noah was in the middle of an injury-enforced lay-off so headed on down from his home in Bundoran to sit down and fill me in on his life and career. We chatted about how he’s coping with a summer of rehab, his life as an Aussie surfer on the west coast of Ireland, his work with Backwash, and the psychology of surfing the scary, cold and heaving waves that have ...
Episode 056: Shambles McGoldrick - Mysterious Currents
October 09, 2018 19:50 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com It was back to Ireland for episode 056, as I visited Strandhill in Sligo for a few days and grabbed legendary local bodyboarder Seamus ‘Shambles’ McGoldrick for a chat while I was at it. Although he’s too modest to admit it, Shambles first made his name as part of the local crew of surfers and bodyboarders who pioneered the mean array of ugly, evil-looking slabs that the west coast is now famous for. With peers such as Fergal S...
Episode 055: Sian Leigh - Our Mild Addictions
September 21, 2018 11:20 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Episode 055, and I invited one of my oldest and dearest friends onto the show - Sian Leigh. Sian is a health coach, a yoga instructor, a mum, a wife and a snowboarder. You may be familiar with her from work as one of the coaches on Jenny Jones’ camps, for example. But what makes Sian unique is her unapologetically positive and joyful take on life, and her perspective on the issues we’re all dealing with, whether we like to adm...
Episode 054: Keith Malloy - A New Decade
September 04, 2018 12:31 - 56 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com I was lucky enough to welcome surfer, father, rancher, director and Patagonia ambassador Keith Malloy onto the show for episode 054, recorded during my recent trip to Newquay. Keith’s is a surfing life in three parts. He spent his twenties on the WCT tour, following the contest circuit and enjoying a huge profile as one third of the Malloy brothers with long-time sponsors Hurley. As he approached 30, Keith made an abrupt left-...
Episode 053: Don Brown - The Serendipity of Skateboarding
August 28, 2018 09:23 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com I’m back after a couple of weeks podcast downtime - and my guest this week is the legendary Don Brown. You might not be too familiar with the name, but Don, a Brighton local, has had one of the most quietly influential careers in skateboarding. How? From world champion freestyler to the man who came up with Go Skateboarding Day, Don has been there, seen it, done it and probably sold you the t-shirt. Don was part of the early ge...
Episode 052: Pete Cabrinha - Stay Curious
August 10, 2018 15:19 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com I was lucky enough to speak to the great Pete Cabrinha for episode 052 - founder and owner of Cabrinha Kites, legit Hawaiian waterman and complete force of nature. Pete has been at the cutting edge of waterborne action sports since the last 70s, and since then achieved mastery at no less than three different disciplines - windsurfing, surfing and kitesurfing. His achievements are legendary. He was world champion windsurfer in 1...
Episode 051: Hanli Prinsloo - The Aquatic Significance
July 28, 2018 14:31 - 59 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com I finally bagged a guest I’d been after for months when I welcomed Hanli Prinsloo onto the show for episode 051. Hanli is an ocean advocate, conservationist, writer and speaker who is the founder and executive director of I Am Water, an ocean conservation trust. She is also a freediver who enjoyed a decade long career at the top of the sport. That’s the thumbnail sketch anyway, although it doesn’t really do justice to the sheer ...
Bonus Episode! Dan Adams - Read and Destroy Part 2
July 20, 2018 18:59 - 43 minutesRead and Destroy bonus episode with Dan Adams! Dan is the man behind the hugely popular Read and Destroy archive project, on Instagram, and now the new Kickstarter project which is running this July. Dan, a supremely talented designer, cut his teeth on RaD magazine back in the day.

Episode 050: Ed Leigh - The State Of The Snowboarding Nation
July 17, 2018 15:38 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Well, I had to didn’t I? To mark a whopping 50 episodes of the Looking Sideways podcast, I invited back the very first and still one of the most popular guests I’ve had on the podcast: snowboarder and presenter Ed Leigh. I’ve had a few returning guests over the months, notably Billy Morgan and Sophie Hellyer, but for episode 050 wanted to circle things right back to the start by bringing Ed back on the show. If you listened to...
Episode 049: Neftalie Williams - Bridging The Gaps
July 10, 2018 10:13 - 54 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com I’ve had some pretty progressive guests on this show. But I think this week’s guest, Neftalie Williams, might just be the most visionary of the lot. Just check the list of accomplishments that make up one of the most impressive CVs in skateboarding. He is the first lecturer of skateboarding business, media and culture at USC; a PhD candidate at the University of Waikato in New Zealand; a pioneer of the concept of skateboard dip...
Episode 048: Matt Helliker - Keep It South West
July 05, 2018 18:51 - 59 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Climber Matt Helliker is widely regarded as one of the UK’s top alpinists. But I have a feeling he’d prefer to be known as an all-round mountain athlete, as comfortable taking on a peak like Citadel in the Alaskan wilderness as he is exploring the sea cliffs of his native south west, or the Scottish winter climbing he considers to be the best in the world. Intriguingly, as I discovered during the conversation we had at the Outd...
Episode 047: Spencer O'Brien - A Snowboarder At The Olympics
June 15, 2018 06:25 - 1 hourImagine training your whole life for the biggest event of your life, only to find that on that day the event you’d expected would show the best of your sport is about to become a very public fiasco. Worse, conditions are so bad that for most competitors the day turns into a straight battle for survival - with the entire thing played out front of a global audience. It sounds dramatic, but that’s essentially what happen to snowboarder Spencer O’Brien and the rest of the women’s snowboarding f...
Episode 046: Oliver Percovich - Skateistan
June 12, 2018 10:01 - 56 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Like most people, I got my first introduction to Skateistan back in 2010 following the release of To Live And Die in Kabul, Orlando von Eisendel’s documentary about the early years of the charity. So what is Skateistan? Set up by Aussie skater Oliver Percovich, Skateistan is an international non-profit organisation providing programmes that use skateboarding to provide education and safe spaces for kids from low-income backgrou...
Bonus Episode: Andrew Cotton
June 06, 2018 04:29 - 53 minutesAndrew Cotton bonus episode! At the end of May 2017 I was in Croyde for a few days so met up with Cotty to find out how he’s been getting on since his life changed back in November 2017 following the accident at Nazare that saw him break his back and get plastered across front pages and social feeds across the world. He gave me the lowdown on how he’s coped with the toughest six months of his life: the injury itself, how the slam went down, how he’s been rehabbing, the power of a positive me...
Episode 045: Ryan Sandes - Mind Over Body
May 25, 2018 12:47 - 1 hourOne thing I’ve learned since doing this podcast - you never know how these conversations are going to go. But my favourite Looking Sideways chats are the ones that take on a life of their own, following their own conversational ebbs and flows. And episode 45, my conversation with ultra runner Ryan Sandes, is definitely one of those chats, For the uninitiated, Ryan is an ultra runner but you could also describe him as an adventure runner. He made his name on events such as the Four Deserts S...
Episode 044: Tracy Moseley - The Long Game
May 17, 2018 14:52 - 53 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com Imagine reaching the very top of one sporting discipline - and then switching codes and repeating the feat in your new discipline. Then imagine sustaining this over two decades, all while representing your sport with erudition, passion and grace. That's basically what UK mountain biker Tracy Moseley achieved during one of the most celebrated careers in mountain bike racing. Her achievements are too long to list in full here, but...
Episode 043: Patrick Armbruster - Double Or Quits
May 09, 2018 16:08 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com How do you recognise when to jump at those key opportunities? How do you handle those defining turning points that can set the tone for the rest of your life - when you can't see them coming? Today's conversation with Patrick 'Brusti' 'Armbruster is full of moments like these. You may not know the name, but over the last twenty years Brusti has had one of the most quietly influential careers in European snowboarding, whether a...
Episode 042: Stale Sandbech - The Substance of Style
May 02, 2018 05:08 - 57 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com If you were to sit down to try and devise a way of creating the perfect snowboarder, you’d do worse than use Stale’s Sandbech’s upbringing as a template. Take one stoked kid living near an easily accessible local hill. Mix with three equally hyped friends who live and breath snowboarding. Add one older brother photographer who shoots with the best of the world, offering easy access to an incredible array of role models. Marinat...
Episode 041: Shauna Coxsey - Positivity Is A Choice
April 25, 2018 19:07 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com How do you get to the top of your sport? Sure, you need incredible focus, steely ambition and exceptional physical talent. But you also need a particular mindset - an ability to deal with setbacks and injuries; to turn setbacks into positives, and to continually readjust your goals as circumstances dictate. And that’s the main takeaway from my conversation with climber Shauna Coxsey. Shauna is a two-time ISCF World Cup boulderi...
Bonus Episode: DJ BBQ
April 20, 2018 05:06 - 30 minutesBonus Fire Food book launch episode! For this one I headed along to London to catch up with my old friend DJ BBQ, aka Christian Stevenson, on the occasion of the book launch for his new book Fire Food. I grabbed Christian for half an hour just before the party kicked off and have a fairly chaotic chinwag about the book and plenty more. It’s rough and ready this one, with interruptions, digressions and swearwords aplenty. If you enjoyed my first episode with DJ BBQ, you’ll dig this one, which ...
Episode 040: Paddy Graham - The Camaraderie of Skiing
April 16, 2018 04:56 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com What’s the reality of life for a top action sports athlete? Sure, there’s all the good stuff you might imagine - acclaim, adulation, world travel, free stuff and all that. But what about the rest of the time? What about the injuries? The constant hustling to make projects happen? What does it take to make a career in this most unforgiving of industries? It’s a world that celebrated freeskier Paddy Graham knows inside out. Paddy’...
Bonus Episode: Sophie Hellyer
April 13, 2018 10:56 - 40 minutesBonus episode! For this one, I met up with episode 019 guest Sophie Hellyer to catch up on her year so far, and to speak to her about the media storm she recently found herself at the centre of. We chatted a few times during the week it was going on, and during that time agreed to sit down and spend half an hour discussing the whole farrago for this special bonus episode of the podcast. If you enjoyed the first episode I did with Sophie back in October 2017, then you’ll enjoy this one as we...
Episode 039: Long Live Southbank - From Conflict to Collaboration
April 09, 2018 12:17 - 55 minutesFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com What kind of city do we want to live in? It’s a fundamental question, particularly today, when urban spaces are becoming ever more homogenised and commodified. And it’s why the Long Live Southbank campaign, created to protect one of London’s most culturally important skate spots, struck such a chord. Skateboarders have been using the Undercroft on London’s Southbank since the mid 1970s. In that time, it has become one of THE fl...
Episode 038: Jeremy Sladen - The Sideways Gospel
March 27, 2018 13:56 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For me, there is much more to the action sports world then the globe-straddling superstars we all know about. For every top pro or household name, there’s a lesser-known industry hero who’s passion and drive has contributed just as much to the culture we all love. Today’s episode with UK snowboarding pioneer Jeremy Sladen is about celebrating this integral part of the industry story. Jeremy was part of that first wave of early ...
Episode 037: Billy Morgan Part 2 - Risk and Reward
March 16, 2018 11:29 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com From urban running to the biggest stage of all - this week’s episode is part 2 of my chat with Billy Morgan, this instalment recorded as he returned in triumph from Korea with a medal round his neck and a new level of fame and recognition.

Episode 036: Charlie Dark - Building The Movement
March 04, 2018 17:09 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 036, I headed up to London to meet the inspirational Charlie Dark: runner, musician, DJ, thinker, leader, teacher, speaker, poet and much more. He's a member of seminal Mo’ Wax band Attica Blues, and founder of Run Dem Crew, the running community that has been the inspiration for and catalyst of the entire urban running movement that has taken off globally over the last decade. And if you do know Charlie? Then you’...
Episode 035: Anne-Flore Marxer - Breaking Down The Walls
February 23, 2018 14:26 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com "Our sports give us magical sensations and feelings. And you don’t need to be a man to experience them". Well, you can’t argue with this, just one of the many nuggets dropped by Swiss snowboarder and Freeride World Tour alumnus Anne-Flore Marxer in the latest episode of the show. AFM, as if you didn’t know, has been one of European snowboarding’s heavy hitters for over a decade now, thanks to a legit riding career that has tak...
Episode 034: David Benedek - The Great Connector
February 11, 2018 18:19 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 034 I welcomed one of snowboarding’s most creative and influential characters onto the show - David Benedek, who for a decade bestrode the global snowboarding scene like a veritable colossus. Think of any significant cultural snowboarding development from 1999 to 2008 and chances are Benedek was involved. From the moment he burst onto the scene with a podium at the 1999 Air and Style, his career was one long list of...
Episode 033: Billy Morgan Part 1 - Risk and Reward
January 31, 2018 10:46 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 033 of the podcast, I met up with British snowboarder Billy Morgan the week before he headed to Korea to compete for Team GB at his second Olympic Games. Billy is a hugely respected member of the UK snowboarding community, who came up through dryslope and seasons in the classic UK way, but has since transformed himself into a world-renowned snowboarder with a top ten Olympic place in Sochi and at least two world sno...
Episode 032: James Stentiford - Thank You Snowboarding
January 28, 2018 06:38 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com It was second time lucky for episode 032 as I finally wrapped my interview with one of European snowboarding’s great: James Stentiford. For two decades James has been one of Europe’s most respected snowboard pros, both for the longevity of his career, but more importantly for his whole approach to snowboarding and life in general. James has always been somebody with an extremely developed sense of sense, and an almost patholo...
Episode 031: Tim Leighton-Boyce - Read and Destroy
January 21, 2018 10:25 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com My guest for episode 031 of the Looking Sideways podcast is truly one of the unsung heroes of the UK action sports community: Tim Leighton-Boyce. Between 1985 and 1993 Tim was the main driving force behind the legendary R.A.D magazine, the much-loved UK skateboarding magazine that did so much to support UK skateboarding and skate culture during a critical time in the scene’s development on these shores. During its heyday, R.A...
Episode 030: Tom Carroll - The Corrective Experience
January 14, 2018 19:29 - 1 hourFull episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com For episode 030 I welcomed a proper guest of honour onto the show - Thomas Victor Carroll. Tom, a two-times world champion, is truly one of surfing’s greats. How? By dominating and redefining the way waves like Pipeline and Sunset were surfed, for one, and by defining what it meant to be a professional surfer in the 80s and 90s. Now in his mid 50s, Tom is quietly pioneering on another front, by managing the injuries sustained...
