Damien Hardman

...

the classic one, r- as, as you know, is the Damien Hardman one where he literally, like, turned around in the whitewash and took off, and I forget who was on the wave.

But, uh, that was a big one, too, in the-

Yeah

And it might go, you get dragged along by someone that good, but at the same time, maybe can it be deflating almost? Or what impact did he have on those around him? Because in our generation, for example, Tom Carroll, Tom Curran, the legends got their world titles.

Martin Potter, Damien Hardman, Derek Ho...

Martin Lynch, and we spread them around in our generation.

A lot of people had a bite at the pie because we were all that hungry and desperate to get a bite, and we made it happen.

So the generation I grew up in would have been like the latter half of the 80s into the early 90s.

And, you know, the time that I was on tour, there was Tom Curran winning world titles, Barton Lynch, Damian Hardman, etc., And what I distinctly remember about the kind of emergence of the momentum generation of all you guys was that there was a kind of nimbleness on the top turn.

And the thing of a reverse, not an air reverse, but a reverse, which was like a hard carving snap.

And then you turn it into a slash that you turn into a 360 and come out of.
