First time on board
Tried it some time in fourth grade but I didn’t really start until sixth grade.
Have you had all of the children’s diseases?
What?
Do you eat a proper breakfast?
Yes, right now it’s sour milk with müsli and kiwi, non-sweetened bread, boiled egg. I drink tea if I’m already hyper but coffee if I need some speed.
Skating tranny/non-tranny in percent
45/55
Trick that just won’t work
Switch 360 flip and switch frontside heelflip.
Trick that always works
360 flip.
Floss?
Yes, morning and noon.
Best athletic merit
I will leave that to Ola, but I’ve got some hockey and landhockey cups. And, yeah, “Hockey player of the week” in the newspaper Aftonbladet. Sounds heavy but I wasn’t really that good.
Best vertical achievement
Drop in at Stockholm Skatepark.
Unwearable shoe colour
Blue and orange was a demanding combo.
Best slam
The feeble grind to face that I did last time in Malaga was alright.
Ever skated in leatherpants? Last time?
Sometimes when it’s cosy-time. I think the last time was when I went and skated a schoolyard by my house in Södertälje some three years ago.
Most embarrassing skateboard memory.
In sixth or seventh grade I stuck a good one in front some cool students in the schoolyard.
Do you use any shoe repair-product?
Sometimes glue, but it used to be a lot of Liquisole. You’re supposed to let it dry for like 48 hours but sometimes the skate itch got to bad and I put them on too early which means collecting a lot of gravel.
Ever ridden a longboard on Södermalm?
No, thank god.
Worst trick Head of Ideology brings out in S.K.A.T.E.?
The backside bigspin is a drag, and the inward heel too.
Did you vote in the last elections?
Yes.
Favourite animal at Skansen?
The guy Jonas.
Subway or bicycle?
Bicycle is great now that spring is here, but I ride a lot of subway.
Bearnaise or garlic sauce?
That’s a tough one. It varies from day to day.
Motto
Take care of the ones you really like.
