Josh Newman, 18, Romside! woop woop

Romside represent!

Hell yea!

How did you get into Streetboarding?

Um well it was back in the day, the end of the summer of 06. I guess I just got bored of my BMX n saw Adam on the old wiggle board and gave it ago. Didn't really take too well at first but thought I'd invest in one and turned out to be the best goddamn investment ever! Haven't looked back since.

What attracted you to it?

Umm it's just something different and I like the idea of big airs and flips n shizzle like that. And I've always liked snowboarding n it's kinda similar, but the floor isn't as soft haha

Truth! Have you had much experience Snowboarding?

Not alot but I picked it up really quick n loved it. Managed to hit myself in the jaw with the tail, not sure how ha. Been to the dry slopes a bit but that's not as good at all.

Bit of a lack of snow in these parts eh

You could say that yea. Sucks!

Something else you've had experience in is Gymnastics. Tell us about that.

Ahh yes, indeed. I just loved throwin myself off of things I guess. Always loved doing summersaults n things on trampolines or off of whatever I could find really. And the gym teacher after school was fine! haha. And then discovering trampoline to foam pit and the madness never ended.

Ah yes, the power of the fittie teacher, not to be underestimated.
