Best thing about skating?
The best thing about Skating for me is The freedom of self-expression and the endless possibilities.
I started as a park skater which I had a lot of fun doing and competing against other people as well. But as I started to skate Street more I noticed how much more fun I was having competing against myself. Always competing against myself and trying to one-up the last best trick I did is the ultimate rush for me.
Who is your favorite skater?
My favorite skater growing up I will have to say is Louie Zamora / Vinny Minton after that Brian Aragon & Mike Murda Johnson.
What makes blading unique?
What makes skating unique to me is literally the feeling I get when I do it nothing feels more satisfying and fulfilling to me.
What keeps you motivated to skate?
What keeps me motivated I mean every time I put on a pair of skates it makes me feel like a little kid on Christmas Plus I get to chill and skate with the homey’s and do something I love
What is your favorite trick? My favorite trick you already know True Topsoul!
What is your favorite moment in skating?
My favorite moment in skating is when I did my first royale. I know what you’re thinking huh?
I struggled and struggled to get that down mind you when I started skating Royals wasn’t invented yet.. another favorite moment in skating I have to say is the moment I realize that it could get me out of the hood fax no printer!
How do see the sport today and also it's future?
Aggressive rollerblading has been through so many changes already good and bad. The way I see it now it’s ready for a fresh restart.
I can only see the future of aggressive skating becoming bigger than it's ever been!

Best thing in skating? The feeling when you land your trick. The adrenaline you feel and want to fight.
Street, park, contest, filming? Your preference and thoughts.
I Love skating street because it gives me freedom. I can be creative and find lines and obstacles that I can skate and do what I like. I love filming too because it pushes me doing tricks that I wouldnt do normally. It puts me under pressure and I like that. and it makes me happy to capture it on a video and watch it later. For example, when I was in my 20s and was filming my streetskating or even park and now after 10 years I can watch it and wonder how I could do all those tricks :-)
Who is your favorite skater? Franky has been one of a few forever. The rest is not skating anymore :-)
What makes blading unique? Culture, lifestyle, community all over the world, unity, etc.
What keeps you motivated to skate? Push my self forward. Everytime when I go skate I try to learn something new or try something new (rail, ledge, gap...) if I don’t try anything new it feels like a waste of time :-)
What is your favorite trick? All kinds of soyales and pornstars.
What is your favorite moment in skating? Eveyrtime when I accomplished something. Winning a competittion or filming a section. The best moments were winning X-games 4 times and world championships 6 times, but also filming section for Opinions and then seeing the whole section in the movie Chris Majette made.
How do see the sport today and also it’s future?
Its different that it used to be back in 2000s. But even tho there has been some dump within the industry of rollerblading I think the social media has been helping to bring it all back and maybe and I hope, one day it will be as big as it used to be. Our biggest competitor was skateboarding but now its scooter. I hope that one day rollerblading will be taking place at X-games next to scooter skateboarding and bmx. They are all aggressive sports and noone can say which one is better or worse. We all should support each other.
