Tom<\/a> was in the centre.<\/p>\n\u00a0We started hanging out as we were all forming Deathbox.<\/p>\n
Tom and I met on Clarendon Street and immediately I thought this guy is rad to skate with.<\/p>\n
We\u2019d meet up on the weekends as we were growing up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did Tom get on Flip?<\/h1>\n
I got Tom Penny on.<\/p>\n
Well I was trying to get Tom on.<\/p>\n
He got on New Deal Skateboards flow and he got some coverage in RAD and then he caught Jeremy\u2019s eye and he\u2019s got a wicked eye for skate talent.<\/p>\n
He asked me if I thought we could get Tom on?<\/p>\n
I said, ‘he\u2019ll be on the team next week!<\/p>\n
It was a cocky thing to say but Tom and I were good friends and I thought it would be the best thing.<\/p>\n
I spoke to Tom and told him he\u2019ll be skating rad places every weekend.<\/p>\n
He was down and he\u2019s stayed on the camp ever since.<\/p>\n
In our era, if you were on the team, you were on the van, you were together all the time and if somebody didn\u2019t get along, they weren\u2019t on the team.<\/p>\n
Everybody loved Tom and we all got along from the start.<\/p>\n
We were mates and we hung out all the time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stories from growing up with Tom?<\/h1>\n
The Southsea mission was a naughty one.<\/p>\n
I remember knocking on the door and asking his mom if he could go skate in town but we went on a train hundreds of miles away to Southsea.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t think it mattered that much at the time though.<\/p>\n
We went to the skatepark, I\u2019m a few years older than Tom.<\/p>\n
I thought I\u2019d take him down for a treat and this is years before anyone knew who he was or whatever.<\/p>\n
So I took Tom down to Southsea, when he was about 14 and we skated with the Isle of Wight guys.<\/p>\n
They were the most amazing skaters at the time.<\/p>\n
We went to this one spot, we were doing tricks down the stairs and I 180 Nosegrinded the rail, all those guys we were looking up to, looked at at us going,<\/p>\n
“What the fuck is going on?”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What happened?<\/h1>\n
So we\u2019re skating the stairs with those Isle of Wight guys.<\/p>\n
Tom wasn’t sponsored or anything, the board he was skating was worn down and his tail was scrapped into a razor tail.<\/p>\n
I remember he did a massive 8ft Melon Grab and his back foot came off and he credit carded himself from an immense height.<\/p>\n
We were all little but he was the smallest.<\/p>\n
Tom was like<\/p>\n
‘Oh it’s fine, don\u2019t worry\u2019.<\/p>\n
And he walked up the bank and his white shoes turned red with blood.<\/p>\n
At this point I was like oh my god.<\/p>\n
I had to take him to the local medic!<\/p>\n
He split his No Mans Land open but I had to go back to school the next day.<\/p>\n
I phoned his mom and told Tom basically I had to leave him there.<\/p>\n
Not sure how he got back to be honest.<\/p>\n
Yeah, his mom was not my biggest fan after that happened.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No way.<\/h1>\n
Yeah. I used to call him Stop, Drop and Roll.<\/p>\n
Tom would never get hurt.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d just stop drop and roll and get out of any sketch tricks.<\/p>\n
Then later on when he was skating ramps we\u2019d call him \u2018Bunch of Grapes’ because he looked like he was holding a bunch of grapes.<\/p>\n
Then one tour, we went on with Deathbox and I came back and his style had developed massively and the tricks he was doing were immense.<\/p>\n
I would show him something one week, then the next week, he\u2019d have it down even better than me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why did you never go pro for Flip?<\/h1>\n
I skated for Flip but I never had a pro board.<\/p>\n
It changed from Deathbox to DB, then to Flip, for about a year and a half.<\/p>\n
It was a weird time in skating for me and I didn\u2019t want to be a part of it.<\/p>\n
If you didn\u2019t look a certain way, you were fucked.<\/p>\n
I got into DJing a bit.<\/p>\n
I went on tour every week as a kid, I never got to meet girls.<\/p>\n
I was 17 so DJ’ing sparked off.<\/p>\n
I was still doing well in contests but the magazines, would still be writing captions about \u2018Alex Moul Techno King\u2019.<\/p>\n
It was a lame time in skateboarding for me.<\/p>\n
They didn’t care that I was doing well , it was just about what I did.<\/p>\n
I remember Jeremy asking me to do a contest in Belgium and I just made up some bullshit to get out of it out of time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When did you start playing music?<\/h1>\n
In 1991, was about the time when I got into spinning tunes.<\/p>\n
Jocke Olsson let me have a go on his technics and that was amazing first experience.<\/p>\n
My friend Lee Chin who I grew up skating with, Oxford SS20 legend, he started to DJ as as well.<\/p>\n
In the end he went to do to Metalheadz and other stuff like that, so I got into it through him and others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What was Flip doing at the time?<\/h1>\n
Flip went to Cali around end of 1993 and it was about that time I wanted to be a normal human.<\/p>\n
I did some normal jobs, temp jobs, warehouse jobs and picker packer jobs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Did you work in music?<\/h1>\n
So I applied for a job at Massive Records, a record store in Oxford.<\/p>\n
I was just a teaboy and sweeping the floors, and by the end I was the main buyer for all of the label\u2019s drum and bass.<\/p>\n
It was there that I met Graham Luster.<\/p>\n
He asked for a song called Tunnel Vision and it turned out he made it,<\/p>\n
He’d heard my music, we got chatting and we arranged to make a song together.<\/p>\n
All he had was a Akai MP60, drum machine, sampler and a Yamaha YS Keyboard.<\/p>\n
Graham was amazing to make the music he did on that setup.<\/p>\n
The first thing we made we had some interest from Legend Recordings, so we made a tape and gave it to DJ Spinback, who was a legendary DJ back then.<\/p>\n
He listened to it and loved it.<\/p>\n
He was the resident DJ at Raging Rabbit and I wanted to play there.<\/p>\n
So I ended up warming up there at the end of 94\/95.<\/p>\n
So Graham and I made another two tunes.<\/p>\n
Then our first main tune got us signed to Timeless Recordings.<\/p>\n
‘Chilled’ and ‘Spirits’ and also Graham’s tune Invisible Man came out on Goodlucking Recording, which was a label run by a guy from Oxford.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Where did you go out?<\/h1>\n
So we used to go to Speed in London.<\/p>\n
We would go religiously every Thursday in London and we\u2019d either get in or not, an hour and half to London and sometimes we wouldn\u2019t even go in.<\/p>\n
I once met Bjork in there.\u00a0It was ridiculous.<\/p>\n
This one week Fabio played \u2018Chilled\u2019 at Speed, the one week, we didn\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n
Then we made Spirits, the B-Side and that was the funky one that kicked off<\/p>\n
Basically by this time I was cutting plates every Friday the music house and people were cutting daps of our plates every week were cutting more and more.<\/p>\n
Fabric Fabio was on BBC Radio 1 and he was playing our tunes on Radio 1 and we were tripping out.<\/p>\n
Then Graham and I got in especially early so we could get into the club and they were playing \u2018Chilled\u2019.<\/p>\n
Then the music stops and suddenly they play our b-sides but no one was in there!<\/p>\n
The owner Leo was in there doing the sound check, and he said to us<\/p>\n
“Your die had fan regulars aren\u2019t you?”<\/p>\n
He asked us our names and discovered that we were Mouly and Lucida.<\/p>\n
He told us to never wait in the queue ever again!<\/p>\n
We just walked straight in.\u00a0He didn\u2019t know that I DJ\u2019d or anything til that moment.<\/p>\n
I made a tape and sent it him and he called me up and he asked me to play Speed that night,<\/p>\n
I said I can\u2019t do that!<\/p>\n
I wanted obviously to but I hadn’t cut anything new that week so I turned him down.<\/p>\n
The next week Thursday, I went to a music house in London and cut everything that I\u2019d been working on.<\/p>\n
I got someone to cover me at work, ended up working at the club and it went off.<\/p>\n
I ended up doing a residency there for three months.<\/p>\n
It was rad and I met a load of great people through it!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Who are your favourite Drum and Bass artists of all-time?<\/h1>\n
LTJ Bukem was my favourite<\/p>\n
Total Science<\/p>\n
Future Bound<\/p>\n
Goldie<\/p>\n
Metalheadz<\/p>\n
Pendulum<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You played at Cambridge Uni? How did you get that gig?<\/h1>\n
I can\u2019t remember how but somehow I got the headline set at Cambridge University and it was packed and it went off.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t bring our tunes with us, it got requested and luckily my mate had a copy.<\/p>\n
It got three rewinds and a girl said to me that tune was so good I was going to take my clothes off!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did you get into DJ’ing?<\/h1>\n
I was still skating but not filming.<\/p>\n
DJ\u2019ing was the new buzz for me.<\/p>\n
My friend Peter Haslam, DJ Slicer at the time, we\u2019d hang out together.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d spent all my Deathbox money on vinyl, he was a good DJ and he\u2019d play my tunes.<\/p>\n
He got a gig at a place called Prism in Oxford.<\/p>\n
He decided to put me on the bill too.<\/p>\n
We split the session together.<\/p>\n
I was playing \u2018Whistle Posse Blow’ and the place was pumping.<\/p>\n
We had two hours. I don\u2019t want to stop after half hour.<\/p>\n
I wanted to keep going.<\/p>\n
I did the first hour and I just thought to myself and I just stopped the song and I played this song with a huge atmospheric intro.<\/p>\n
It was a risky choice.<\/p>\n
I looked into the crowd and there were hundreds of people with their hands in the air.<\/p>\n
I thought wow!<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m controlling the mood of this room right now\u2019.<\/p>\n
This is unbelievable.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s such a big compliment.<\/p>\n
If I meet someone compliments my skating I\u2019ve got time for them, its amazing that people even remember you.<\/p>\n
So it kinda equates with the feeling i get from DJ\u2019ing.<\/p>\n
So after that I just wanted to play out all the time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That\u2019s gnarly. What about the time you skated with Gonz in Harrow?<\/h1>\n
So Gonz was filming for Video Days.<\/p>\n
I was down in in London for a week and I saw him do a 180 Nosegrind 50-50 down Shell Centre handrail and then I heard he was going to Harrow to a demo.<\/p>\n
I went down there that weekend and I hung out with Matt Stewart at the time.<\/p>\n
Matt lived in Harrow so I went down there with him.<\/p>\n
I was lucky enough to meet Gonz the day he was down at Harrow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What was he trying there?<\/h1>\n
He tried to do an Ollie Frontside Pivot on the lip and totally hung up.<\/p>\n
His board went over the other side and he landed on his head.<\/p>\n
I thought that was it, the demo was over and then he got it up and just did it the next go, no problem.<\/p>\n
I was amazed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What else went down?<\/h1>\n
There were some rails behind the swimming centre there,<\/p>\n
I said to Mark would you like to skate the handrail with me?<\/p>\n
He said yeah.<\/p>\n
At this point I could only do the basics 50-50s, Lipslides.<\/p>\n
I did my first Smith Grind during that session.<\/p>\n
But I had no idea what I was going to see him do that day.<\/em><\/p>\nWarming up he did a Salad Grind down this six stair rail, getting on right at the top.<\/p>\n
Second trick Frontside Grind, both first try.<\/p>\n
Third trick 180 50-50 right over the top, he does it all first try.<\/p>\n
Then it starts getting interesting.<\/em><\/p>\nHe starts trying Noseblunts, we were freaking out, we\u2019d never seen anybody try anything like that.<\/p>\n
Then he Noseblunted it, by this point there\u2019s a full crowd watching.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just trying to learn Smith Grinds and I\u2019m just watching, mesmerised.<\/p>\n
Then he did a Switch Boardslide.<\/p>\n
We were all like damn he\u2019s just done that backwards!<\/p>\n
There was no Switch at this point.<\/p>\n
Then he tried a 270 to Backlip and by this point we were all freaking out.<\/p>\n
And after all of that, he tried to Darkslide the rail and was actually getting on it and nearly doing it..<\/p>\n
Blind Video Days hadn\u2019t come out yet.<\/p>\n
We hadn\u2019t seen a Noseblunt on a curb and we just saw him do it down a handrail!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wow. When did you decide to move to the states?<\/h1>\n
I was working in that record store in Oxford and I had a little bit of success with record making and DJ\u2019ing .<\/p>\n
I was making money but there was always something missing.<\/p>\n
Even though I was skating a bit I wanted to do more.<\/p>\n
Then Jeremy called me up from Cali randomly.<\/p>\n
He said, “Tom is killing it out here, you should see what we\u2019ve been upto since you were a part of everything from the start”.<\/p>\n
He asked me if I wanted to go out to The States, and said that he’d pay me to come out and see what\u2019s going and hang out with everybody\u2019.<\/p>\n
At that time that was exactly what I needed. So, I called up my boss and quit my job.<\/p>\n
I told her about the opportunity Jeremy offered and she let me have the time off.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I got off the plane and we went straight to Ed Templeton\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s my childhood hero and there I was sat on his sofa.<\/p>\n
Those two weeks were great skating in the sunshine with Tom, Geoff and everyone was great and I got back into skating deeply.<\/p>\n
I got back home and within two months, I stopped working for the record store, was skating full-time and then the next year I went back to Cali for 3 months.<\/p>\n
I came home, my girlfriend left me and I just sold the house and I thought fuck It and I moved over to America.<\/p>\n
It was rad joining everyone again<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did that Frontside Flip over that handrail go down?<\/h1>\n
I was unsponsored at that time.<\/p>\n
Jeremy would hook me up with Flip boards but with Arto, Bastien on the team I had to take a backseat.<\/p>\n
Arto had just got his first Hasselblad Camera and he hadn\u2019t shot anything yet.<\/p>\n
Bastien was getting on the rail, that was the day he Crook Backlipped it and Luke McKirdy was there.<\/p>\n
I got up there and I tried to Kickflip the rail to hype up Bastien but then everyone said Rodrigo TX already did that for the Es video three weeks before.<\/p>\n
Then I tried a flip and he came up to my feet but I kicked it out.<\/p>\n
I thought “Oh God, I can\u2019t jump down this thing!”<\/p>\n
Seven months prior to that I\u2019d been diagnosed with a crooked spine and told not to skate.<\/p>\n
But I thought fuck it!<\/p>\n
Arto\u2019s set up his flashes and he’s got his Hasselblad out.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d never Frontside Flipped anything that big at that point, and then they put a 12 pack of of Heineken and a pack of cigarettes on it.<\/p>\n
Bastien had just got his trick on it and I tried and my shoelace ripped on the flip but I rolled away.<\/p>\n
I was bummed because I touched my hand but everyone else was stoked.<\/p>\n
Seven months ago I was told that I wouldn\u2019t be able to skate by doctors.<\/p>\n
We went to an 11 stair rail after and Bastien Backlipped it and I front Willied it.<\/p>\n
I went to chiropractor and they told me I had arthritis in my spine , at the time, they said I was the youngest person they\u2019ve ever seen with it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did you get that?<\/h1>\n
Bailing and slamming repeatedly over years and years.\u00a0My friend Pete Evans came out to visit me and he knew all of these stretches to deal with back issues.<\/p>\n
I knew he\u2019d want to skate and he showed me all these stretches and within three days I\u2019d straightened out.\u00a0By the end of the week I was skating and in four months I was pro.<\/p>\n
I just want to thank Pete Evans, he sorted it all out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What got you skating again?<\/h1>\n
I was just going out with Geoff and Arto and Ewan Bowman was staying with me, whilst he started his job for filming for Flip.<\/p>\n
I was going out with them, skating with no pressure.I remember Rowley saying,<\/p>\n
“Shit Mouly you got more clips then any of us right now!?”.<\/p>\n
\u00a0I was so hyped that I was back skating I was just going for it.<\/p>\n
Kids out here would call the Switch Bigspin Heel ‘The Mouly Flip’ because of the way I would do it.\u00a0Tom even called me out and said it looked like a pressure flip.<\/p>\n
It was flattering because I know I do it totally wrong but some people like it.<\/p>\n
I remember watching Josh Kalis doing a Switch Bigspin Heel out of this kicker over a bin at The Brooklyn Banks in New York.<\/p>\n
He rolled up to me and said \u2018I bet you could do this first go Mouly\u2019.\u00a0I just laughed.<\/p>\n
There was no way I could do it the way Kalis was doing it but I appreciated that he came over and said that.\u00a0I remember Ewan, me and this guy were driving to a double set spot.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t feeling too good and we were with a skater I\u2019d never met before called Billy Marks.\u00a0We went there and I Ollied it, then Billy Kickflipped it.<\/p>\n
I went there to do that.I was pissed. I had to think of another trick.\u00a0I tried a Varial Heel and caught it five tries later and I was riding away from the biggest thing I\u2019ve ever done.<\/p>\n
Then I got a Frontside Flip down it too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sick<\/h1>\n
So next month Thrasher magazine came out and the back cover is the Varial Heel sequence for an Indy ad and the Frontside Flip is a double page spread in the mag.<\/p>\n
Then Stacy Lowery called up my girlfriend\u2019s house in San Diego and he said,<\/p>\n
“We\u2019ve all been talking because we want to put someone new on the team and we want you to join Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n
….We want to give you a board, pay you and put up on the team!?”<\/p>\n
I told him I\u2019d let him know, I\u2019d think about it…<\/p>\n
He was like,<\/p>\n
“What is there to think about!?”<\/p>\n
Thing is I\u2019d been skating for Flip for years and I didn\u2019t want to be disloyal to them.<\/p>\n
So I called up Geoff and asked him his advice.<\/p>\n
He said,<\/p>\n
Why are you talking to me right now, get on the phone and get talking to them!<\/p>\n
I got off the phone to him and did just that.<\/p>\n
I was just so blown away by the deal at the time due to my back injury.<\/p>\n
I never thought I\u2019d get that opportunity again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rad. So how did you become Santa Cruz TM?<\/h1>\n
There was a former TM, he left and everyone chose me to take up his job.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t want to do it at first but then eventually I was proud of the work that I did as a TM for them.<\/p>\n
Kris Vile for example I\u2019ve got a good story about him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Down to hear it.<\/h1>\n
Back in the day, I headhunted him for Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n
I saw a video of him, a Vans UK thing and I was like bloody hell this kid\u2019s a ripper.<\/p>\n
I called Ben Powell, and I said,<\/p>\n
“I haven\u2019t seen anyone that good out of England for a while, do you have his number?”.<\/p>\n
Ben gave me his number and I called Kris and he hung up on me!?<\/p>\n
He thought it was a prank call.<\/p>\n
I had to call Ben back to tell him it was Alex Moul and then he finally answered my calls.<\/p>\n
Then we had a chat and then he came on the tour with us and everyone loved him.<\/p>\n
He was great and got everyone going and really inspired everyone around him.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d get cracking right away and made everyone else go for it.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d set it off.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what I like about Kris, he\u2019s a skate rat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hardest trick you\u2019ve ever done?<\/h1>\n
Front Foot Impossible Back Foot Footplant in the On Video Section.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think anyone else has ever done that before.<\/p>\n
Ewan Bowman filmed it.<\/p>\n
I was stoked on that one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your first pro contest ?<\/h1>\n
So Jeremy turned me pro didn\u2019t think I was ready, I wasn\u2019t pro material.<\/p>\n
So Eindhoeven was my first pro contest and Ed Templeton was there.<\/p>\n
Then at one point in the contest it was just me and him.<\/p>\n
Everything came to a standstill and everything was watching me and Ed T skating and we were both ripping and everyone was just watching.<\/p>\n
So Ed, that day showed me late Shuvits, I learnt them in three tries, he was really surprised.<\/p>\n
We went out street skating, he was trying to do Tailslide Bigspin out, at the time it was crazy.<\/p>\n
Then the next day it was my run.<\/p>\n
I did Shuv it, Shuv it Ollie Impossible, went up to the vert wall did a 360 One Foot to Fakie, turned around went to the funbox, did a Bag Lady down the handrail, did a Front Foot Impossible, went across the course, did a Frontside Ollie Tailbash, then went back and did a Kickflip on flat on the way back.<\/p>\n
Out of all the tricks I did I was the most stoked going full speed.<\/p>\n
I did a 540 one foot Ollie, came back and did a BS Mute Japan, really tweaked and I did a Frontside Ollie late Shuvits off this ramp over the gap to end the run.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d only just learnt late Shuvits the day before and I won that day.<\/p>\n
I won a bag of popcorn and $500 dollars.<\/p>\n
Vert won $1500 dollars and a popcorn that\u2019s how much things had changed!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crazy<\/h1>\n
As we went to McDonalds, Wurzel, who was an original Deathbox rider, said,<\/p>\n
“Ed Templeton\u2019s won Munster World Championship twice in a row, you beat him so you\u2019re World Champion Mouly!”.<\/p>\n
