Jackson x Natural Selection omnibus special! Yep, myself and my right-hand man Owen Tozer are on our first podcast trip of the Covid era.

How do you bypass the toxic gatekeepers who still control the routes and paths into the industry? And how can you feed the latent appetite for alternative narratives that exists yet is shamefully under-served in our world?All themes that feature in my conversation with this week’s

Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast ·

2022/01/13

Full episodes info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com If you’re a snowboarder, Danny Davis really needs no introduction. He’s widely regarded as one of the greatest riders of all time, and is still going strong two decades into one of the most storied careers in competitive snowboarding. But there’s more to Danny than this quick thumbnail sketch. Because, in a world of ever-increasing progression for its own sake, Danny stands for something. He’s a symbol of the creativity that is

2022/01/07

Full episodes info and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.com Think of this conversation with Cornish surfer Sam Bleakley as a companion piece to the extremely popular Dylan Graves episode from a few weeks back. Why? Because here we have another amazing surfer using their talent and platform in Jan in an infinitely more interesting way than most other professional surfers.Sam’s case is particularly interesting because he has managed to find a way to combine his two major passions - geography and

Yep, as is now very much tradition in the Looking Sideways universe, for this special Christmas episode I was joined by my old pals Tim and Gendle for our fourth mince pie, Secret Santa and booze-filled yuletide jamboree. Now, if you’ve listened to any of these episodes before, you’ll know what to expect - although this year, I’m happy to report, we managed to juggle schedule and beat the rapidly-approaching Covid

2021/12/15

Type 2 is a podcast from Looking Sideways in association with Patagonia that explores the intersection between the outdoors, action sports and activism.This week’s guest is actor, musician, performer, podcast host and trans activist Brix Schaumburg. As Germany’s most high profile trans actor, Brix has become something of a focal point for the conversation around trans rights and issues of gender. This scenario has led him to a form of gently provocative activism, in which he has used his platform to

Episode 169: Dylan Graves - Curiosity Seeker

2021/12/02

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comThis week’s guest Dylan Graves has managed something that sounds simple but is actually really very difficult when it comes to surf, skate and snow film-making - coming up with a simple idea that manages to convey the stoke of the entire business while also telling a repeatedly compelling story. If you don’t know Dylan, he is a professional surfer from Puerto Rico and the host of a YouTube show called Weird Waves, which for my money is the

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comWelcome to an absolute throwback of an interview in the finest Looking Sideways tradition. Yep, if you liked my recent chat with Ben Powell, for example, you’re going to enjoy this conversation with BMX legend ‘Mad’ Jon Taylor. For a start, it was face-to-face, which was such a laugh and something I’ve missed more than I’ve realised. Secondly, there’s the fact that this is a riotous look at the life and times of one of the most beloved

2021/11/15

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comIs experience a prerequisite for knowledge? How can you use the lessons of life to strive for equanimity? Is it possible to avoid taking life personally? Should we let our curiosity guide our decision-making? How can we put story-telling at the centre of what we do? Is life about taking or giving back? These are the questions we all grapple with at some point during our lives, however unwittingly. And, as I realised at the end of our

Episode 166: Ollie Percovich - I Hear A New World

Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast ·

2021/11/05

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comMy guest this week is Skateistan founder Ollie Percovich, who I welcomed back for his second appearance on the show. I first chatted to Ollie in May 2018 in the dim, distant pre-Covid era, and in the intervening months it’s fair to say much has changed for Ollie and the community he’s spent so long establishing. The first event was, obviously, Covid, which understandably had a huge impact on a none-profit with operations and staff all over

Episode 165: Torren Martyn - Lost Track

Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast ·

2021/10/08

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comThis week’s guest Torren Martyn is probably the most individual, interesting and certainly most celebrated surfer in the world right now. Draw a Venn diagram of all the modern-day talking points in surf culture - board length, style, the craving for some substance among a world of throwaway edits - and Torren would be right at the centre. As 2021 dawned, Torren’s lazy, lanky style and mastery of the less-than-obvious board length had already

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comMy ‘lifer’ episodes, in which I interview somebody without the profile of my more famous guests, but who nevertheless has dedicated their life to the culture with similar dedication (and, in many cases, has had a similar influence), are always among the most beloved Looking Sideways episodes. And in this episode with action sports agent and business coach Sue Izzo, I’m not afraid to say we have an instant lifer classic. Of course, as usual we

Episode 163: Ben Powell - Breaking The Fourth Wall

Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast ·

2021/09/15

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comI first asked Ben Powell to be a guest on the show back in 2017. In the end, it has taken almost five years of chipping away to get him to agree, and this week’s sprawling conversation is the result. Why was I so bloody-minded about getting Ben on the show? Because I challenge you to find anybody who has made a bigger impact on skate culture in this country over the last 30 years. Sure, Ben will cringe to his very fingertips at this

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comOn this week’s episode I welcomed the great Lesley McKenna back to the show for her second visit, a mere four years after her first appearance in June 2017. If you don’t know Lesley, she’s a snowboarder and Olympian who is, to my mind, one of the most original and quietly influential thinkers in action sports. Lesley was actually my first ever female guest, and in the intervening years a lot has changed - and not just for the my humble little

Episode 161: Joe Taylor - Water Therapy

Looking Sideways Action Sports Podcast ·

2021/08/18

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comThese days, the notion of water therapy is fairly well mainstream. Think ‘blue mind’ theory, and the sheer number of Instagram account and Guardian articles extolling the virtues of cold showers and cold water swimming. But back in 2011, when this week’s guest Joe Taylor set up The Wave Project, it was rather less well known. As you might imagine, the story of Joe’s quixotic quest to establish the Wave Project is a fascinating one, and the

Full episode and Show Notes - www.wearelookingsideways.comStreet skating legend Cairo Foster is well over two decades into a singular and iconic career. Think ‘two episodes of The Nine Club’ iconic. So when he got in touch to see if I’d be up for having a chat to commemorate the release of his new Actions REALized board, a collaboration between Real Skateboards in memory of Ben Raemers, with all proceeds going to The Ben Raemers Foundation, I was of course up for it. Especially because this episode
