First time on board
Sometime in kindergarten I guess, but I started skating for real when I was 14.
Have you had all of the children’s diseases?
I don’t know, will have to get back to you on that.
Do you eat a proper breakfast?
Yes, now that I’m working I do. Cereal, sandwiches and stuff. Otherwise I usually eat at around three, four o’clock and by then it’s real food.
Skating tranny/non-tranny in percent
I bet it’s like 50/50! A lot of miniramp now, you know.
Trick that just won’t work
Switch varial heelflip, yuck, and nollie varial heelflip – always primo, ha, ha.
Trick that always works
360 flip and frontside flip.
Floss?
Never.
Best athletic merit
Oh my, where should I begin? No, just kidding, but I played football for Enskede’s a-team and brought home a couple of cups. Six wins in the school jog, ha, ha. Club champion in table tennis. I don’t know which is the best.
Best vertical achievement
50-50 grind.
Unwearable shoe colour
Red.
Best slam
The one in to the fountain in the Vargtass video. That one was heavy as hell.
Ever skated in sweatpants? Last time?
Wore a pair once at Stockholm Skatepark, what was that all about?
Do you use any shoe repair-product?
No, not now, but until I got a shoe sponsor I kept the glue gun warm.
Most embarrassing skateboard memory.
When I wore sweatpants at Stockholm Skatepark. Nooo, just kidding. Hm.
Ever ridden a longboard on Södermalm?
No. Over my dead body.
Worst trick Head of Ideology brings out in S.K.A.T.E.?
Is that Martin or what?
Did you vote in the last elections?
No.
Favourite animal at Skansen?
Monkeys
Subway or bicycle?
Depends on if I’ve got a bike or not. There’s a vicious cycle about bicycles. People steal mine, I find some or steal one back.
Bearnaise or garlic sauce?
Don’t burn nice sauce.
Motto
You little fool! I don’t know, chill or something like that, maybe.
