Catching up with Steve Bailey

Remember Steve Bailey? Best switch flipper in Suffolk? Here’s what he’s up to.

So how long has it been since you returned to Oz?

Just over three years now. Feels like one.

Where do you currently reside?

Currently living in Leedierville. A cool spot just outside the city of Perth.

What are you doing with yourself out there? Studying? Working?

I am indeed living the student life. I also clean at a primary school.. Three hours a day. Pretty chill!

All important: Have you been skating much?

Yeah as much as I can, Have some pretty cool parks around and there’s a tight sunday crew. Really enjoy cruising the citys hills.

What’s up with all these classic cars?

My brother Rick is restoring an old classic for a friend and I was lucky enough to drive it for a day. That’s pretty much it. Certainly enjoy a classic car.

Is there anything you miss about the UK?

Just friends and skating with the MN crew. Would love a Sunday skate with the homies! Miss ya’ll

How long did that beard take to cultivate?

Few days! Naaa few months..

English girls or Australian?

It all depends on the girl.. Lots of hot Asians in Perth!

How’s the art?

Off and on.. Have been alittle lazy with it recently. Too many hobbies in my life I think. I do love it though.

Last time you had shrimps on the barbie?

I haven’t yet had shrimps on the barbie. We did have a barbie Chrissy day though. The good old Aussie ways.

Been surfing at all?

I’m currently on holiday and staying at mothers by the beach.. So surfing has been my last few weeks! It’s something all skater must try, once you get to your feet the years of skating pays off.

Any plans to return to the UK?

Some time after I finish Uni, one year to go.

Last words?

Hope all is well and look forward to skating with you all again in the near future. G’day mate!
