Who do you chill with at the moment ? When the kids are sleeping I chill with Anna

When was you last mission ?   Last mission was Jyllands tour with the Sidewalk Crew 

Lately i have been working on,  The Nutcracker show on Docken,  were I was performing as a “Monster” skate

When im home I like to,  Cook some nice a healthy food for the family, play with Buster and his LEGO and chill out in the couch.

 I normaly call my homies for,  Danish for “gutterne”  ( the boys)

Your homies are, Fuglen, PEDE og O.

I enjoy to go to, Bryggeriet with the Lodge crew 

Faviorite drink is,  Caipirinha

 To go to resturant is,  something I really appreciate

Favorit skateboarders,  Pedro, Raven, D.Way, Rune, The sidewalk boys, Dater, Mads C. Hjalte, and the rest of the lodge and I could keep on for ever. And of course all the legends like Guru, dressen, Alva, Natas, Carrol, Guy and Duffy.

 Favorite skatepark. Fælledparken, Stabelsbad parken and Bryggeriet, The Cradle in Brixlegg, and Marseille – because it was the first concrete park I rode abouth 20 years ago.

 Favorit spot. Hullet is amazing. Enghave Plads is fun we you are lucky to have it have it for yourself.

 When I do not skateboard I. Work and hang out with my family.  

 When I get old I want to. He he. When are you old? I want to see the rest of the world

I would like to see more of, Vert and tranny skating in Denmark 

My future looks like. Bright and busy. I have a lot of project in the pipeline. Skate trip to Cali with the Sidewalk Team in Februar. “Fortovsfest” on Enghave plads in May. Copenhell in June. Roskilde in July. Working on getting the old Vert-ramp back on track.  

I dream of: Having a indoor Vert ramp in Copenhagen again.

Founds some old footage from Forum 1991. Thomas madsen has a run in there starting at 4 mins.  There is some dope shit in there.
