Elissa Steamer is one of the greatest to ever do it, and her skateboarding has blazed a trail ever since the Toy Machine Welcome to Hell video introduced her to our world in the nineties. We were lucky enough to spend some time on the phone with Elissa recently, and she is the latest in a long list of legends to have entertained a “First & Last” interview for our blog. This is the audio version, so you can listen in. We start at the beginning with the first board she received in Fort Myers, and move all the way through to the last good skate she had, making sure to mark many of the significant moments that have illuminated her path along the way. It was fun looking back at her journey, and a reminder of what a positive force she has always been, and continues to be. We’re proud to have connected with Elissa for this one; enjoy the conversation… You can read the full interview with video and photo support on our blog and shop with us for all your skateboarding needs at slamcity.com

Nathan Clancy is an emerging force from North London. If you were unaware of his unique ability, then the recent Polar video "You Got It My Boy Jamie” will have acquainted you with what he brings to the table.

This episode of Listen In is a behind-the-scenes window into our conversation, which hones in on a video part, trick, photo, and board graphic that have made an impact on him. We also cover some early influences not included in the blog post, and close out by finding out more about recent events and what is coming next… You can read the full interview with video and photo support on our blog and shop with us for all your skateboarding needs at slamcity.com

This episode of Listen In is our deepest dive yet: a career-spanning interview with Chris Pulman. Chris has done a lot in skateboarding, from industry roles, including two stints at Slam, to starting his own company. He also has a unique perspective on things, turning pro for Heroin Skateboards not once, but twice, with his second coming firmly underway. He is a deep thinker, with a good memory, and our conversation covers a lot of ground, a fascinating story underpinned by Chris's philosophies and feelings about our culture. We also discuss his current reality where skateboarding is a more important part of the picture than ever, and recommend you keep listening in to learn about his latest sponsor.
