#222 - Darren (Rudolph) Stapleton: Ho Ho's and Guitar Picks.
Manage episode 400237820 series 3160713
The one and only Darren (Rudolph) Stapleton joins myself, and this week's co-host, Ti Coleing for an in-depth exchange about his life so far. A trailblazer of the street skating scene from the late 80s, Darren unpacks his journey from Ho Ho's to guitar riffs, and what it was like to witness the cultural revolution that propelled street skating into the spotlight in the early 90s. Darren outlines his musical endeavours, the evolution of skate tricks, from Saran Wraps, to 360 Judo Airs over the island at Allawah bowl, and how these feats may (or may not have) shaped Australian skateboarding culture.
It's a heart-to-heart conversation that digs deep into Darren's upbringing, the familial challenges that shaped him, and the undeniable synergy between his twin loves: skateboarding and music.
As we wrap things up reflecting on the profound impacts of personal health scares, the push towards sobriety, and the transformation of lifestyles in our community. Ti's Coleing's recent brush with a life-threatening medical emergency steers the conversation towards the significance of health, prompting us to consider the long-term ramifications of our choices. Throughout the episode, we contemplate success, tackle the effects of bullying, and muse on the legacies we aspire to leave—whether it's through the legacy of skateboarding or the harmonious chords of a well-loved tune. With nods to skate legends and musical maestros, this episode is a tribute to the passions that drive us and the tales that bind us...
Enjoy,
Shan
