When SLAM Skater of the Year Nixen Osborne hit Shanghai, he found a piece of family history: his uncle Lee Ralph's legendary Vision pro deck!
Backed by DFAT and the Australia China Foundation, Big hArt brought an Aussie skater crew to Shanghai for two weeks of pure connection. They ripped up street spots, hosted heavy cash jams, ran kid-friendly demos, and bonded deeply with the Chinese skate community.
In this episode, Nixen and Ben Currie join us to share their Shanghai adventures and personal skate journeys. Enjoy!
