Episode 051 Bud Stratford and Laura Richards, Skateboarders, Owners of Zeppelin Aero Works Skateboards, and Industry Bullshit Callers.
Bud is a very opinionated, vocal, sometimes antagonistic man, and of course he doesn't hold back his feelings on controversial subjects surrounding skateboarding, and that makes me love him even more. He and Laura started a new brand Zeppelin Aero Works recently, and they are even doing a Jim Gray model (I know, why?).
Bud admits in our Podcast how he straight up ripped off Acme Skateboards with his Cleveland Skateboard and Supply Co, quite an honor to me but I made them buy me lunch anyways. See, there are perks to having your own podcast. 3 listeners in 4 countries and free lunch, I think I am gonna do this forever.
Hopefully you will find Bud and Laura's story interesting... Bud, found his way to Concrete Wave Magazine, did his own website EverythingSkateboarding.com and eventually decided to start Zeppelin Aero Works with Laura @zeppelinaeroworks on instagram. Their new company is dedicated to making unique and functional skateboards, something quite often overlooked by the skateboard industry. I look forward to watching and seeing what happens with Zeppelin and what kind of trouble Bud can stir up next.
