DATE OF BIRTH:
February 5th, 1992
SKATEBOARDING SINCE:
2014
STANCE:
Goofy
FAVORITE TYPE OF SKATEBOARDING:
Mixing dancing and freestyle on a longboard.
BEST PART OF SKATING:
The feeling of freedom and letting go while riding as well as the family-like spirit of the community even when traveling all around the world.
LAMEST PART OF SKATING:
Getting injured and shitty weather is the worst.
WORST HABIT:
Overthinking what I want to do instead going with the flow. And also not being able to take it easy and rest when I am injured.
BIGGEST PET PEEVE:
Not being able to ride for one reason or another.
WORST ACCIDENT:
Luckily I’ve never had a serious accident (knock on wood), but more just the regular falls causing annoying and never-completely-healed injuries.
BEST EVENT:
So You Can Longboard Dance in Eindhoven, Netherlands, and La Grosse Rando in Paris (a giant cruise through Paris with hundreds of boarders!).
ONE THING EVERY SKATER SHOULD KNOW:
No matter the size of your board or what you do with it, we are stronger together.
DREAM SKATE DESTINATION:
I have already crossed a few off my list (California and South Korea are a couple), but Australia and Central/South America remain unknown to me.
THREE FAVORITE SKATERS:
Lotfi Lamaali, Aboubakry Seck, Brenno Brelvis (wait, they all ride for Paris Trucks!). But aside from longboarding, Rodney Mullen, Kilian Martin & Connor Burke.
FAVORITE TRICK:
Spins. No wait! No-comply bigger-spin. No, I mean, G-turns. Damn, I can’t choose.

Ludwig van Beethoven
BEST CONCERT YOU HAVE ATTENDED:
Carbon Kevlar in Paris
FAVORITE MOVIE:
Samsara by Ron Fricke

“Dance Down The Town” from Loaded Boards
FAVORITE FOOD:
Mozzarella di bufala with salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF SKATING:
Playing or listening to music, binge watching TV shows, making videos, hanging out with my friends or my girlfriend. Oh wait, did I forget traveling?
FAVORITE BEER/ DRINK OF CHOICE:
Beers, beers and beers. But not those dark, heavy ones that could practically be food.
