Where do you like skating most, street or park?
I prefer street, cause it motivates me more. When you’re good in the streets you’ll be good in the park. It’s not because you’re good in the park that you’ll be good in the streets.
What do you like skating most, flat, curbs, stairs, rail, transition, miniramp, bowl… ?
I like curbs, manual pads and gaps the most.
What are your favorite tricks?
360 flip and a couple of others
Do you love skating contests?
Sometimes it can be lots of fun. Sometimes you don’t feel like ridin a contest, but you have to try anyway. That never works, I must be in the mood to skate a good contest.
What are your best results in a contest?
I always forget my rank…
Any favorite pros?
A lot! But if I’d had to pick one it would be Nick Trapasso.
Whats your best experience in skateboarding till now?
All the travel. Skating all these different places.
Some people you want to thank?
The Zumiez famillia, Jelle, Sam, Vu, Wannes, Geoff, Zev, all photographers, my friends from Ronse, Kaspar & Sven from Nike Sb, the people from Hawk, Benny Blanco from Shorty’s, Dirty South, BXL, my mom and family, everybody I forgot.
Any quote to round up?
3 words, keep skateboarding fun!!
