Following the release of the first Tony Hawk Playstation game in 1999, James Threlfall quickly became hooked on the concept of skateboarding.
Picking up footwear and drink endorsements in his teenage years, James moved swiftly to become a rising name on the UK circuit and at the age of 18 he signed a professional contract with British action sports clothing brand, Animal.
Not content with his success in the extreme sports arena, James decided to pursue a parallel career in broadcasting and received his big TV break with the launch of the series ‘Now Boarding’, which airs in over 50 countries globally.
Since bursting onto the television scene, 26-year old James’ career has gone from strength to strength fronting shows for the BBC and Vice and even picking up an MBE in the Queen’s 2019 New Year’s Honours list.
On 13th June, James will share the secrets of his success with members of Young Enterprise Swindon (YES) at a free to attend event at Desk Cowork from 6.30pm.
