What's your favorite skate video?

Flip - Sorry.

What’s your favorite video part?

I have too many. But definitely Bastian Salabanzi – Flip Sorry, Willow – Advertisement Berlin, P-Rod – Transworld In Bloom & Mark Appleyard – Really Sorry.

Who was your favorite skater as a kid? Who is it these days?

It used to be Jason Adams when we watched the Black Label “Label Kills” every day. And P-Rod when his Day In The Life came out on 411. Two completely different types of skating but they both got me.

Favorite Style?

Lem Villemin.

What's your favorite city to skate in?

That's not easy to say. But my favorite three places are Taipei, Barcelona and Sicily.

What are your favorite skate spots?

Spots with a lot of space, benches and ledges.

Streets vs. skate park?

Street!

Best skateboard magazine?

Pocket Magazine.

Who is your favorite teammate?

It’s the mix of all of them.

Hardest trick for you?

Inward Heelflip.

Trick you can't do anymore?

Fakie Inward Heelflip.

Where’s the next trip taking you?

Rio, Brazil.

Worst trip you have ever been on?

It's hard to say – every trip had something good or bad. But trying to get to Jeddah and ending up hanging out at the airport for 30 hours and never getting there after all that was probably the worst.

What do you do besides skating?

Go to the gym, play soccer, take pictures. I rarely play video games.

What would you be doing these days if you'd never stepped on a skateboard?

Definitely not this interview. Maybe I would have become a physiotherapist. But it's hard to say. Maybe a professional poker player.
