Tell us a little bit about your past ?
I started skateboarding three years ago, when i was 14, because i wanted to try it really bad. I did‘t stopped until now!
Why skateboarding ? How did it start for you ?
For me it started because a friend of mine took me to the skatepark, because i wanted to try it and i got in love with it.

I ride a 8“25 deck with 58mm wheels and my trucks are 149 wide.
Do you have any setup rituals, we need to know about ?
I ride really soft trucks and i usually paint on my griptape, because i like to look down to some colorful art.
Any sponsors ?
Nikita, Blue Tomato & Johnnybegood
What kind of skateboarding do you prefer ?
I prefer Vert and Bowl the most! Especially Vert is cool when you can ride with a lot of people and have a nice session.
Do you have a great skate spot in your home town you can recommend ?
I could recommend some street spots, but they are not that special, because my town is not really skateable. 🙁
Who is your favorite skateboarders, under and over 30 ?
I think i am inspired by every skateboarder, because everyone skates special on their own way.
School, work, not working or other occupation ?
I currently go to an art school, but i am done with it next year (hopefully).
How is a normal day looking for you ?
I get up at 7:00, then i go to school. Most of the time my school day is so long, usally it takes until 16:30. After that i take my skateboard and go skateboarding until it is dark outside. Sometimes i go to a gymnastics training or trampoline jumping after skateboarding.
