Arthur Longo and Blake Paul special TRIPLE episode! This episode came about when my friend Matt Georges asked me to write the words for his latest book project with Vans - TRIPLE.
The TRIPLE project saw Matt organise three shoots to represent the different sides of snowboarding - Arthur and Blake for backcountry, Rene Rinnekangas and Fridtjof Tischendorf for park, and Danimals and Benny Urban for street.
Matt asked me to interview each duo for the book - naturally I thought I might as well record these chats and see if they were worth putting out as podcasts.
So that’s what I did - I relaxed my ‘no Skype’ rule, sent the guys mics and arranged to chat with each of them about the whole thing. The first instalment was with Arthur and Blake, and as you’re going to hear it turned out so well that I decided to put it out as an episode of the podcast.
What’s really interesting about this conversation are the insights into how two such stellar riders like Arthur and Blake approach a project like this. They pair are obviously both absolutely incredible snowboarders, but as became clear during our conversation, they have different, complementary approaches and it was fascinating finding out exactly what that looked like.
Yep, a proper snowboard geek fest this one - well it has been a while - and, basically, a bit of an experiment to see how it would work doing a three-way chat over Skype. I reckon it turned out pretty well.
Big thanks to Matt Georges and Vans for getting me involved, and to Arthur and Blake for being such good sports.
Thanks to Matt Ward for the theme tune, and to my editor Fina Charleson.
