Josh Newman Interview

Hell yeah, and of course you've been crowned the UK AM Rolling Dead Champ! Well done champ!

Ahh yes of course! Big bonus and a definite boost to my confidence! And all after a year it's so cool! I'm going after the pro guys next year so watch out boys! ...for me on the floor, don't fall over me! Haha

Haha! If there's one memory that stands out from your first year's competition experience, what would that be?

Big Indy at Revolution

Ummm i dunno, all the comps were really cool cos i learned so much stuff from everyone but i guess landing my first rodeo in transition was awesome. At Nationals.

Yeah dude that was fat, you beasted that

I hope so! I destroyed myself so much trying to learn it! Haha

Time well spent mate, time well spent

Haha absolutely

Who are your influences in life? Skating or otherwise?

I dunno really apart from Spiderman, which is the obvious choice. Just all the guys that I've had the privilege to skate with and learn from.

What music are you rocking at the moment?

I'm listening to quite a variety at the mo. Just bought some new ones today actually, Biffy Clyro and Billy Talent but also like hip hop stuff like Gym Class Heroes, J5 and X-ecutioners. I like to shake it up a little.

Variety is the spice of life as they say.

Absoposalutly

Ok before we wrap this up, got a few quick fires for you:

Favourite food:
Got to be my mums roast chicken!
Favourite place: ooo a tuffie, my bed?

Good shout.

Favourite movie: The original Italian Job.
Best memory: Umm I dunno, I don't think I've lived enough to be able to say.

Fair. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

Wow that's a long time. Well I'd like to say living life to the full, hitting the slopes in the winter and off gallivanting around for the summer.

Those trampoline skills shining through. Backflip at Revolution

Any advice for up and coming Streetboarders?

Yea just enjoy yourself. Have fun with your mates and just don't take it too seriously because that's when the fun goes. And just remember you're strapped in and the floor is hard! ha

Good advice! Thanks for the interview dude, keep killing it and we look forward to seeing more gnar from you! Any last words?

Um apart from cheers to all the guys that have helped me get to this point and thanx to Adam for the support. I'm just gonna say take it easy to all you Streetboarders and keep and eye out for me cos I'm not goin anywhere.
