Josh Newman Interview

No Comment!

O yes too true, too true!

What's the most gnar thing you can throw on a trampoline?

Well on a tramp had to be double front flip, first try I tore my Achilles tendon which hurt like a mother! But as soon as that was sorted got straight back on and did it. But into the foam pit was probly 180 frontflip to backflip, which just made me dizzy.

That is crazy for sure. Do you think this experience has helped you pick up Streetboarding?

Well it's definitely helped me with my spatial awareness with the backflips and suchlike.

So what other things do you get up to when you're not skating or pulling double fronts in front of gorg teachers? Any hobbies, interests etc?

I dunno really, what any other 18 yea old guy would do I guess. Hanging with my buds n just generally having a laugh.

Quality. Lets get back to the Streetboarding. What tricks are you working on at the moment?

I'm trying to get my noseblunts down at the mo.

Those backside one's you're hitting in mini are super close.

I did disaster the wall the other day ha.

Yeah? As in the top of the vert wall?

Yea n it scared the crap outta me ha.

Heavy!

It was by mistake but I'm claiming it! Ha.

Any favourite tricks that you've already done that stick out?

Well getting those backflips and rodeos after one day was awesome and I got such a rush from those. And the gap that I did at Romsey was exciting.

That day at motion will live on in infamy, learning that stuff after only a couple of months of riding! Nutter!

Ha that was a good day! And landing those tricks gave me so much confidence.

So this year you've had your first taste of Streetboard events, how've you enjoyed it and how's it been skating with everyone?

Um yea its been really cool getting to know everyone in the UK scene and skate with them , its really pushed me to want to do more. n then there's seeing the european guys skate at nationals, that was just insane!
