Toan and Tuan Nguyen Exclusive Interview Wallride X Podcast EP 013

On this episode of the Wallride X podcast, Marko “Sharko” Jazbinsek (Sugar/Unified) and Dez Beristain (FlippinBoards) sit down with Tuan Nguyen, a veteran skate filmer whose lens captured some of the most iconic moments in skateboarding history. Joining us through video call is his brother, pro skater Toan Nguyen, who gives updates on his cancer treatment while reflecting on his skate career. We dive into the brothers’ story, from growing up skating together to Toan’s rise with Shorty’s. Toan talks about his inspirations, his Thrasher cover, the Kickflip Back Tail attempt on Hubba, and funny team stories with Brandon Turner. Tuan shares his own journey, from skating for Nation to shifting into filming after injury. He opens up about photo incentives, sticker strategy, and takes us deep into the Fulfill The Dream and Guilty video era. He also breaks down filming sessions with Daewon Song and Danny Montoya, the Fulfill The Dream premiere at Snow Valley, and the moment Chad Muska called in while Tuan quit World Industries, offering him double pay to film for Shorty’s.
