Mike Manzoori

Hi and welcome to the skate creative podcast, my names Joel Curtis and I’m a musician and skateboarder. My guest this week on the podcast is Mike Manzoori. Mike is a legendary skateboarder and was part of a generation of UK skaters who exploded on to the European and world scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Riding for companies Powell Peralta , Santa Cruz and later turning pro for ATM click. Alongside his time in professional skateboarding Mike has had an equally industrious and successful career as a director cameraman and editor. Starting off with influential independent UK titles like Sound and Vision in 1994, Mike has made and contributed to most important and seminal skate videos of the last twenty plus years. I talk to mike abut all his time in skateboarding and film making, his work for 411, Emerica, Etnies and Es’, growing up in London and his life now settling in Los Angeles. There is going to be a bit of a break now but I’ll back soon with more episodes hopefully in a few weeks time. Mike links….
