Buckle up for a soul-stirring session as former sponsored skateboarder and current World Skate judge Russell Grundy takes us through a mind-expanding traverse of the skatepark known as life. Russell unveils his own version of that profound connection between the skate life and personal growth. We explore the emotional richness of scaling the peaks of elation on tours with the likes of Billabong and Channel V to finding beauty in the troughs of sorrow.  Russell opens up about his early years on the Central Coast of NSW Australia, the thousands of train rides he did back and forth to Newcastle and Sydney as a teenager, USA adventures, competing on the hallowed grounds of the Tampa Am in Florida USA,  opening skate shops, leading community initiatives, his approach to parenting, his innate desire to progress, and much more.  This isn't your standard skate talk; it's an exploration of Russell's philosophy on staying centered, listening to your heart, and learning from experiences. Enjoy, Shan THT gets by with a little help from these friends...  (Intro) Music by Def Wish Cast.
