Send us Fan MailThis week, we hangout with Jorge Tichbon — aka Swellbows — to talk slams, soundtracks, digital animation, and the originality he brings to a genre of skateboarding that may lack it at times. From early days goon-bagging around the skate parks of the Gold Coast to the years he spent living in Texas USA, Jorge breaks down the injuries that earned him his nickname, the mental grind of bouncing back, and the constant stream of creativity flowing through him. We get into skate crews, DIY culture, and how music and skating have always been two sides of the same coin. If you know, you know.

Send us Fan MailThis week, I sit down with Zane Hedley — co-founder of Nextdoor Sydney, the skate-inspired clothing label making serious waves in the Australian streetwear scene. From his early days skating Bar Beach Bowl to building a brand rooted in community, culture, and clean design, Zane breaks down what it really takes to turn an idea into a movement.We talk skateboarding, the creative process, launching a business with your mates, and how they’ve carved out a lane of their own in an industry flooded with trends.Whether you're a skater, a designer, or just someone chasing a dream, this convo's got something for you. We also dive into the resounding success of the Bondi Bowl Bash — an event Zane played a key role in organising.Enjoy,ShanGet discounts and support the show (Click on the links):LIFE CYKEL - Mushroom extracts (10% off) or Coupon code: THT at checkout 10% off your order by clicking the link OR use code THT at checkout!
