How are you doing at the moment? I`m doing great, Skateboarding still makes me happy.

How is your body at the moment, (injuries, knees, back, and so)? I had a lot of foot problems the past year, but it seems like I´m back on track

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

I used to ride my bmx back then. Then one night I saw some of my friends on skateboards trying to take on a flyout, and they would slam every time. I borrowed one of the boards and hit the flyout and landed the first time. That was that, I was hooked!!

Do you think you made the right choice (instead of playing football FX?)? Hell yes (there is no jock hiding inside me)

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

80s Neon clothing, Hill bombing and fun times

90s Everybody hating skaters, Super baggy pants. Low cut shoes (we cut them ourselves ) Dying my hair blond with Hydrogen peroxide. Party party party!!

2000+ Skateboarding booming again, big events, people starting to respect skaters. Startet working at Copenhagenskatepark and seeing skateboarding through a different mindset. PARTY!!!

2010+ Kids ripping, taking every style from the 80´s until now and mixing it up (SO rad). BIG money and trying to deal with the fact that I´m getting older. And off cause party.

Do you feel skateboarding is in a good way?

Yeah absolutely. Even though big companies are taking over. It seems like skateboarding is gonna be here FOREVER!!

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

There is definitely skaters who want to join the Olympics, and why not?? Skateboarding being bigger than ever, makes anything possible.

It´s all about the money, unfortunately.

Where do you stand in terms of politics? No comment

When I chill, I chill with, My family and friends, on and off board..

I’m have been on a mission lately in (with) I´ve just been on a skate trip in LA and San Diego with Frederik Tanghøj and William Frederiksen. Meeting old friends and skating every dam day.

Dream session would be, Every Session is a dream

Lately I have been working on, Skating more

When I was little I would like to, Be a professional moto x rider

When I’m home I like to,

Listen to music, play ninja games on the playstation, reading books and hang with the family.

I normally call my homies for, Skating, hanging out and party

Your homies are, Hillerød hardcore skaters, copenhagenskatepark crew and everybody that skates I guess.

I enjoy going to, Concerts , I recently went to see Dinosaur JR. and it was F*cking awsome
