How are you doing at the moment?

Pretty damn good, thank you for asking !! Busy, but good..

Skateboarding has taken off around here, so there is plenty of stuff to do, projects to work on, and dreams to fullfill.

How is your body at the moment , (injuries, knees, and so so ) ?

Old, tired and aching. Shitty lowerback but no injuries at this point.

Please comment on Skateboarding in  the

80s

The best of times. A time without troubles. A time where everything felt fresh and every day was an adventure.. I miss those days. Glory days, for sure.

90s

Ugly as fuck but still cool. Pressureflips and miniramp-riding kept me in the game. Everslicks were rad !!

2000

Change of the game..X Games era..

2010+ The new dawn !! Concreteparks galore. Every tranny skater on the planet should be stoked.

Family or friends. Wife and kids or my posse.

Esben Garder, Nathan Curry, Pauli Lynnerup, Thomas from the valley, and the rest of the Roundwall crew.

I’m have been on a mission lately in (with)

We’re on this ongoing jointadventure – to keep raising the stoke and praise the gospel of more skateboarding on the agenda. Trying to change society from within.

Dream session is:

8 hour long Brobowl-session with homies in attackmode.. Ending the night with Fernet Branca’s at the Bodega.

 

Lately I have been working on:

We finished pouring SSP (Skørping Skatepark) last year, and since then I’ve been working on building as rad a skatescene as possible, and bringing tons of kids on board.

On the side of that, our crew is working on a new annual contest setup in Skørping, that is surposed to go down from next year..

It’s called ROLD-O-RAMA, and it will blow minds !!

Last but not least, we’re working on the final part of our wooden indoor bowl – trying to have that shit skateable before fall and crappy weather is upon us…

 

When I was little I would like to:

Be a pro skateboarder, and bang my best friends sister.

When im home I like to:

Enjoy every minute with my family.. Kids are growing up FAST, so trying to enjoy ’em as much as possible before they get 15 and dont wanna hang with me anymore. Got to keep the wife happy as well, so that requires some hours in the backyard and plenty of bottles of rosé..

Everybody should own a:

Set of Ron Fosters bearings – they’re the shit

The hobby I have, no one knows about is:

I collect old skateboard, but I guess a few people knows about it.

I will never get rid of:

My urge to grind

I would love to be in a movie with:

Im too camera shy to be in a movie.
