Skateboarder And... Alan Rushbrooke

Full episode info and Show Notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com‘Please get more skateboarders onto the show’ is definitely one of the most common bits of feedback I get here at Looking Sideways Towers. Which is why it was such a pleasure to welcome Nottingham’s finest, Mr Alan Rushbrooke, onto the show for episode 062. Alan is one of the key figures of 90s/00s skateboarding, with a career that perfectly mirrored the wider trajectory of UK skating as the scene stepped out of the shadow of the Cali-centric US skate industry and proudly embraced its own unique identity.He was there during the heyday of Radlands, was a fixture in RAD and Sidewalks for years, was part of the seminal Unabomber team, and put something back into the scene by running Cide skate shop in Waterloo. Naturally, our conversation covered all this and more. As is always the case whenever I see Al, we also ended up geeking out on music and taking a proper old trip down memory lane as we discussed a much-loved period of UK skateboarding, If you enjoyed my conversations with Don Brown and Peter Hellicar, you’re going to love this one with one of the scene’s stalwarts and a proper flag waver for UK skate culture. Big up to Al for coming on the show. Enjoy! Thanks as ever to Matt Ward for the theme tune. This is a public episode.
