Flipside owner Adam Walder

Enough of those....

any advice you could give to anyone wanting to start out in the world of Streetboard brands?

My advice would be work with everyone in your countries scene to help out with events, support the sport, if you want to make products make some new innovative stuff that either hasn't been seen before or is better than something out currently, and sponsor some riders.

Now you are no longer a board distribution company what are your plans for Flipside in 2008+ ?

The plan currently is to push the sport in any way we can. Helping out with events, teaching new kids to ride, supporting retailers and helping them get sales, pushing our team of riders and hosting events. We're also working on new products that will be in shops in 2008. And of course being the #1 source for Streetboard news and info in the UK.

Quickfires:

Favourite Movie: hmm, I think it's still the Sixth Sense, but there's a lot of other movies that are really close. Shawshank Redemption, Sin City, and Batman are all awesome.

Favourite Food: Pepperoni Pizza all the way!

Favourite TV Show: the classic, the best ever - Knight Rider. Hoff rules. End

Anyone you'd like to thank?

So many people - everyone that supports Streetboarding and everyone I've worked with thus far with Flipside, everyone who has bought stuff from Flipside, Neil Thomson for doing an amazing job keeping the UK scene alive, True Skool for their never failing support, The Flipside Team, everyone who helped build the website, Friends, Family, Elisha Cuthbert

Awesome. It's been good chatting, have you got any pearls on wisdom to pass on to the masses out there in the guise of final words?

Don't fall into the trap of going through that phase of it being "cool" to get a girlfriend and give up skating. Get a girlfriend and keep skating!

Words of wisdom there people. Read them, live by them and if you stray from the righteous path....return to step one and repeat until you are one righteous brother.. Good luck in 2008 Ad's. Peace.
