Yes, we are back with a brand new season of skate knowledge and nonsense.

There was no better way to kick the season off by sitting down with the founder and owner of Scotland’s oldest skate shop, Jamie Blair who has ran Clan Skates in Glasgow’s west end since 1987. Joining Jamie is long time shredder and artist Ray Dower.

In this episode, we’re looking at some big moments from Scotland’s rich skate history from Kelvingrove Skatepark being built in 1977, all the way through to the mid 1990s. Scotland’s big hitter John Rattray also drops in with a special message for his mentor and long time friend Jamie.

Let us know if there’s anything you want to hear about on the new season and your thoughts on the episode down below. We’ll back with a Vol. 2 very soon.
