#19 - Sam Fairweather

We are officially back from a little hiatus (more on that in the intro) and pretty stoked to make that come back with a skater very dear to my heart the very talented Mr Sam Fairweather.

 

Sam is a beast of a skater from Syd Australia and well known for leaving his creative mark on well known spots all around the world. His relentless filming and part releases has seen him supported by brands such as indy, converse, board world , crawling death, just to name a few.

 

He joined us on the pod to do a deep dive on all things skating as well as the recent changes he has made on his health/life journey. Join us for a quality ep where we covered topics such as:

 

• Releasing footage on Instagram vs as a full part. Why the change?
• Switching from big impact skating to leaving a mark creatively on famous spots.
• Pursuit of going pro, getting sponsors and making a living from skating. Is it all worth it?
• Body failing from all the abuse of skating
• 1 year sober. What was the reason and what’s the experience been like?
• Experience with introducing strength training and help it’s had on skating and overcoming jumpers knee issues.
• Gym culture and bad perceptions that stop skaters from trying training.
• Finding joy in skating by eliminating the drive to “make it”

 

Enjoy 😉
