Not just a pretty face...
The boss has thirty years of experience in the longboard industry - designing, manufacturing, distributing, riding and the rest.
Chances are you - and certainly I - would not be here if it wasn't for the work he's put in over those years.
And as pretty as it is, it isn't often that he puts his face out there. Too busy for that!
And so it is a rare treat to hear just a little bit of his perspective and experience during this chat with Abuga from Downhill254:
From the beginnings of the longboard scene in the UK, through truck design and general thoughts on the industry, there's a lot to digest in here!
And what do you think? How do you think my daily life goes with a boss like that?*
Our thanks go out to Abuga for the opportunity, and to all of you for keeping on enjoying all types of skateboarding.
It's done wild things for us and it just might do for you, too.
All the more likely with the springtime sun on the forecast!
See you out there,
Matt @ Vandem
*It's a pleasure.
Running a skate brand comes with highs...
...and lows.
But you can be sure the product has been tested to (our) destruction!
