Olly. I decided it would be a good idea now that the blog is up and running here on the Carhartt site to run an interview past you. The purpose of this being to allow the general public as well as the rest of the Carhartt family to become better acquainted with you and learn a bit about your space in the world.
J.S: Since you’ve been riding for Stereo, trips to the States have become more frequent. Tell us a bit about how your schedule works in regard to splitting time between destinations..
O.T: When I first got on i’d go for a couple of weeks, maybe a month at a time. Had to keep the trips relatively short because I had a girlfriend at home. Now, though, I can go for longer each time – usually just under 3 months so it’s good. Then I come home for another few months, re-charge, catch up with family etc.
O.T: It depends. Some of the spots in LA are a bit uninspiring, sunshine or not. I guess I do prefer making something happen in cold old London. More rewarding.
O.T: Definately. I do miss skating here when I’m away.
O.T: I still have deadlines when I’m here though, but yeah, there’s more opportunities for the pressure free sessions with you mates. I guess I skate more in LA, just coz you can because of the weather so when I come home my board control is better.
O.T: There’s always new spots to find. It’s amazing. Thing is I have filmed a couple of video parts here and shot a few interviews so sometimes I think I’ve exhausted the spots that I like to skate. Obviously this is stupid and lazy and I snap out of it and go and find something new or find myself in a random part of town after a disco and see something sick. London appeals to me still and surprises me constantly. I’m sure skaters have only exploited half, maybe two thirds of its potential.
O.T: Through Sheer, total respect for my favourite company.
O.T: You know it mate. Godsends.
O.T: Ranch dressing. Proper mexican food. Then, well, it would have to be baked beans wouldn’t it?
O.T: Full length Stereo video. I’m really excited about it.
O.T: Not that I know of. Any offers?
O.T: Holborn via-duct banks.
O.T: I am. I’m really stoked on the brand and look forward to making the most of being involved with it.
O.T: Yeah I can’t wait. I was stoked on the photo so hopefully it will look sick.
O.T: I actually got a discman for christmas one year and I took it back and swapped it for a regular walkman! I like I-pods though. I think I-pods and texting are the best aspects of modern technology. The rest of it just serves to draw people physically further apart whilst creating the illusion of genuine communication. It’s unatural.
O.T: Pyjamas, an umbrella and he should never use a straw to drink his gin ‘n’ tonic, son.
O.T: Liverpool FC for the premiership!
O.T: Thanks Jacob. Thanks Carhartt. Let there be love.
