What followed were some years skating with his older brother and the crew at the YMCA in Whitehaven as well as many hours of skating alone in the carpark. When they later gave up, these solo hours would become an even more all-encompassing part of his daily routine. There was no butt-boarding obliviousness involved, Olly was bonelessing from day one and fully trying to skate. He was in awe of the cultural importance of it all and how it made him feel. Powell and Santa Cruz videos were borrowed (pre-empting a 4 mile skate to his grans house to watch them) and he remembers a keen awareness of who the skaters in the videos were and why they were important.

Consuming this Transatlantic media was essential inspiration but sporadic. It would be poring over the pages of home-based publications like RaD and Skateboard! which would fuel his yearning to join the community he knew was out there waiting for him.

Yeah a few of my hometown skate crew moved over to the North East to start apprenticeships. They met the local skaters there and this united the two coastal scenes of West Cumbria and Teesside. They introduced me to Dean [Bod] Broderick and Steven [Bingo] Binks and their scene. When my local older crew quit skating to get into raving and going to the Hacienda and stuff I kept in touch with Bod and Bingo. For a while they became my only contacts in skating. It meant I would have to travel the four hour trip on three different trains. Whitehaven to Carlisle, Carlisle to Newcastle and Newcastle down to Stockton, on my own. I was 13 or so when I first started making these trips.

I would use the word avuncular, they were like uncle figures to me. Bod was nearly ten years older than me and was a big influence. His life experience, his focus on skating and appreciation of it. He was constantly looking to American skating and everything around it. Somehow he would always have the music from skate videos and would make me mixtapes and stuff. He fully embodied and lived that lifestyle; it was integral to me to have that influence at that age. It continued on from my brother and his mates; to have a crew to replace that was invaluable. Geographically it was further away but it was an important transition from one crew to the other.

I saw an H-Street demo there once. Matt Hensley did a boardslide to 5-0 up a handrail, like straight out of Hokus Pokus. He did the same trick at a skate park in that video and then did it in front of our eyes at Barrow. Seeing that in the flesh was just so crazy, the video in real life. Later on there was also that sick demo tour with all the Faze 7 companies, so it was Gonz, Ron Chatman, Salman Agah, John Cardiel when he was on Black Label. He had that graphic with all the sweets on it, the slick, and he was skating that it in the demo. Gonz was drawing on the walls and stuff, it was so sick.

You said mini ramp was the more accessible form of skating for you when you were younger because you could progress vs not being big enough to do the tricks you wanted to do skating street.

1992-1996 is the timeline of your first photo to starting university. What was happening during this period was it still solo skates in Cumbria and weekend trips to see Bod and Bingo?

The solo skating was so necessary but I wonder what legacy it had in how I approach commitment within skating, committing to tricks. I would bail things a lot. But then when you skate with other people you find yourself committing to more stuff because you feel less vulnerable. Skating is scary and your relationship with that fear is a really important thing to reconcile as an individual. Coming up against fear and how you deal with it on a daily basis, especially as an adolescent, is an important life lesson.

My dad was really cool and supportive to me and my brother when it came to skating. Somehow, pre-internet obviously, he found out that there was this Swatch demo. A lot of people reading this from our generation will remember it. It was basically the UK vert scene on tour. Neil Danns, Sean Goff, the Abrook brothers, Pete Dossett, Davy Phillips and maybe Gary Lee. They were travelling the country with this big blue vert ramp which packed down onto a flatbed lorry.

We watched this demo and it was just amazing, they were all ripping even though I seem to remember there were no platforms on the ramp. We got to meet the guys after. Neil Danns was my first favourite pro skater; I got his autograph and my dad got me and brother t-shirts and stickers.

Both choices were based purely on the skate scene not on the actual academic side at all. I was totally aware of that. My only reason to go to university was to find a skate scene. I needed a ticket out of my home town and I needed that ticket ASAP. The quickest route out was to go to university. I was doing my homework and revising for exams for the sole reason of getting to a university and finding a skate scene, it was my entire motivation.

Exactly, the contrast was huge. My own skating benefitted so much from that in such a short space of time. I absolutely felt it and it was just what I had been craving at that time. It was super important to me.

I think so because they were so vocal. Liverpool skaters of that era are infamous for how vocal they are in terms of encouragement. They were known for how much stoke they generated. That encouragement can only fuel you to land tricks. I have a lot to thank those guys for.

That mag came out around Christmas time because I was back home in Whitehaven for the holidays. Bod and those guys received the mag before I did. Bod called me up and told me it was out and my photo was in it and he was just so proud. Later on Bod went on to get coverage in magazines but back then the pair of us used to daydream about having photos in magazines. So for me to get that, he was just so proud and it was amazing.

Later it dawned on me that that was fucking Jimmy Boyes. He was hitchhiking home. I guess you could get a ride up that road to Carlisle and figure another one across to Newcastle. He was probably heading back from one of those comps in Warrington or maybe back from Munster which would be even more glamorous. Either way it was Jimmy Boyes in my hometown, a bit of a unicorn sighting.

I already had a couple of photos in the bag I had shot with Wig that Sidewalk had. I was at a comp at the old indoor skate park in Stockport and Leo Sharp came and introduced himself. He told me they wanted to do the Haunts and suggested he come over to Liverpool from Manchester where he was living. I was stoked. I think Leo came over twice and we got the rest of the photos. When my Haunts came out I was wearing some DVS Daewon Songs in some of the photos.

Pete Hellicar and the guys from Slam City Skates Distribution who were handling DVS saw this. They were starting to sponsor people in the UK through that distribution. They phoned up Mischief, I think Andy Humphries made the call. I happened to be in there that day, and said yes to being on flow. So I got my first sponsor off the back of this video. Sidewalk liked the video, I got a Haunts and then got my first sponsor.

Still hustling yeah but back to Pete, he would hook me up with Unabomber boards here and there, the odd free one or maybe half price. So I would get my box of DVS from Slam along with a couple of boards.

Exactly. A Third Foot is a Birmingham-based skateboard manufacturer. Their boards were made and pressed in the UK; at the time they were the only company to do that. Their team was Peplow, Damon, Ozzy Ben, Norm, Woodley. Through the proximity of me being a local skater now, Ken (Gear) and Joel (Winwood) put me on the team. It was my first board sponsor, so a really important moment for me.

So my second go at vert skating was way more fun and fluid. I could do backside tailslides and stuff, it was cool. Vaughan was good at everything. He had such good transition skills, but also nollie and switch stuff on street, and obviously he could jump down stuff. That combination meant he was a pretty unique talent back then. Still is!

We get off the plane and while we are waiting for the bags at the carousel there was this map with hotels pinned to it. We found one near to Union Square on Geary street and phoned from a phone box in the airport to reserve rooms before jumping in a taxi. The hotel was like three blocks from Union Square. Our whole trip to California was three months and I think we stayed in SF for the first month of it. We would skate Union Square every night and skate around the city every day, it was amazing.

Yeah City Lights book shop and the whole North Beach area in San Francisco which was the epicentre for the Beat Generation, where a lot of my reading at the time was coming from. I actually saw Lawrence Ferlinghetti in City Lights the first time I went, walking in and muttering something about the rain. Anyway I had the opportunity to tick off some spots on the literary map as well; skating and literary tourism combined.
