Thanks for getting Dossett on. Very impressive vert skater and really stylish back in the day, had a big influence on my vert skating. Seems humble grounded, no ego.
Pete is a legend, always really nice to me, big love to such a cool chap
Pete blew our minds when he came over to the island of Jersey with Matt McMullen sometime around 1990. He was the first and only skater to ever rip our vert ramp to shreds properly. Great memories, cheers Pete!
Just been watching this after seeing Pete comment on Insta......brought back loads of memories! I remember going to the skate shop in Hitchin around '88 for my birthday........got the Schmitt Stix Miller with Bullets and Gullwings. Loved that deck, it was so flippy.....big nose for the time too!
i stopped skating around 91-92 , always wondered what happened to pete , the english tony hawk❤
My first board was the malcom x. I never knew it was a monaghan model. That's cool. Good work.
too many good things to say , thank you all involved

Thanks for listening
I would love it if they reissued the deathbox boards.
So rad to have Dossett on, rad interview! Stoked to hear of the art project. Also, heavy yes to skating reissues and pissing off shitty collectors!
My mate Zippy stole Pete's Smith glove after he left it on the platform of the Leamington Spa vert ramp in 1990. Think he still has it. He keeps it locked in a glass case and treasures it. Pete, if you want it back, I can give you his mobile number. 😂

Need a Rocker episode!
First 540 could have been Barry Abrook
FOR FUCK SAKE.. "Was it Ali or Sean doing the first 540" ? Try doing some research. It's in RAD mag. BUT... Pete claiming the Rom one in, "I think 1986".. I'd like to see that photo, and the board he's on, as that pre dates mine by a few years, (and Alies by a lot more).
