How are you doing at the moment?

I am great, wish I had more time, but otherwise it is great.

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

Body is good considering I am 43 and work in an office.

When did you start to skate and why? What tricked you into this?

I used to windsurf but I always wanted to skate. I finally got my shit together and started when I moved to Lund. A lot of cool guys like Benhög og Handell helped me get started.

Do you think you made the right choice (instead of playing football FX?)?

Yup. Skateboarding rules.

Anything that influences you at the moment?

I saw a 53 year old dude on Vimeo ripping on skateboard, snowboard and downhill mountain bike. That was cool. Kelly Slater is still ripping in the surf. I love watching the surf comps.

 

Please comment your feelings, memories (if you are that old)   & know how about Skateboarding in the

80s – Yellow plastic board

90s – Started skateboarding. Small wheels and big pants

2000+ – Wish I had skated more- Worked and partying too much

2010+ A lot of awesome concrete!!!

Do you feel skateboarding is in a good way?

Hell yeah, kids are ripping and there is so many parks. Still good vibes.

Where do you stand & please comment with skateboarding in the Olympics?

I do not really watch the Olympics, but if it brings more parks to the sport, it is all good. You do not have to watch it.

Where do you stand in terms of politics?

I do not understand what is happening in the world right now. Makes me sad. Not a fan of Trump, Putin or Assad.

When I chill, I chill with,

My wife and kids

I’m have been on a mission lately in (with) the BMX crew at port4130

Dream session would be,

Surf in the morning and skate in the afternoon and a little BMX in between. Some place warm!

Try to learn bass guitar on Rocksmith
