Scott Spring has done more than just leave his mark on skateboarding — he's built ramps, parks, homes, and a deeper understanding of himself along the way. In this episode, Scott opens up about his mental health journey, including how coming to terms with his neurodiversity helped him shift his mindset and find balance. We talk about building Fairfield mini ramp with Adam Luxford and Spittle, building eco-houses with purpose, and how skateboarding has always been a tool for connection, healing, and growth. A grounded, honest chat with one of the real ones.

Shoutout to Sean Mussett, and the Katoomba Surf Club for skating and hanging out.

Good times!

Shan

This week, I sit down with Zane Hedley — co-founder of Nextdoor Sydney, the skate-inspired clothing label making serious waves in the Australian streetwear scene. From his early days skating Bar Beach Bowl to building a brand rooted in community, culture, and clean design, Zane breaks down what it really takes to turn an idea into a movement.

We talk skateboarding, the creative process, launching a business with your mates, and how they’ve carved out a lane of their own in an industry flooded with trends.

Whether you're a skater, a designer, or just someone chasing a dream, this convo's got something for you. We also dive into the resounding success of the Bondi Bowl Bash — an event Zane played a key role in organising.

Enjoy,
Shan

The YOU GOOD? episodes are unlike the THT interviews you might be familiar with. They are conscious conversations with the purpose of educating and helping.

This week, Sean Mussett (aka Gravel Burns) and I discuss and outline 7 ways to check-in on someone who is going through a rough patch, suffering from poor mental health, or even suicidal.

Don't know how to talk to your mates? Here's some ideas.
