Any hobbys besides skateboarding ? I’m getting more and more into music producing and have been working on some stuff with my good homie Gustav. Right now it’s mainly just for fun but in the future we might drop something more serious. In the winter time I try to snowboard as much as I can.

What is the future of skateboarding ? How do you see it ? Skateboarding is definitely on the rise. I hope and believe that within the next couple of years we will see more skateparks, more skateboarders and more job opportunities within the skate world.

How are you doing at the moment ? Are you fit for fight ? My shoulder got dislocated for the second time a couple of days ago which kind of sucked, so I’m doing some rehab now to prevent it from happening again. Other than that I’m all good, just skating, working and doing my best to stay alive.

Have you been on any mission(S) lately, you wanna tell about about ? Had a really good time with the boys at the Swedish Championship in Skövde a couple of weeks ago. Shoutout to J-Mag and everyone else involved for organizing and making the betongcupen trips happen, they’re always a blast!

How does your weekends normally look like ? I don’t really remember them, you would have to ask my friends.

What is your plan this summer, please let us know a few things your gonna do ? Just skate and have fun. The VPS European Championship is coming up this week which is gonna be a banger. In the beginning of June I will be going to Marseille for two different competitions and then almost directly to Prague afterwards for the Mystic Cup contest. Other than this I guess I’ll just take the days as they come.
