“The Oldest Guy There” - Skuws Interviews Michael ‘Davo’ Davidson
<p><strong>I first met Davo about a year ago. I was at Parramatta Skatepark with a few friends, and this guy probably somewhere in his mid-30s, rocks up wearing a baggy T-shirt, saggy jeans, old school chunky skate shoes and a silver chain around his neck. A skateboard under his arm and two his two sons following behind him, he steps into the quarters section of the park and my friends and I kind of question whether he will know what he’s doing or not. </strong>But as soon as he steps on the board, we realise that this guy has got style and skill like no one else we’d ever seen. Later, after having a chat with him and a bit of cyber-stalking, I find out that this guy, Davo, used to be a pro skater for Melbourne-based company XEN Skateboards and lived in Tokyo for over a decade. I was stoked — a pro skater living in our area who shares my interest in Japan! Then a couple of weeks later, I’m at uni, running a stall at O-Week for the skate club, and Davo swings past.</p>
