Goofy
Mixing dancing and freestyle on a longboard.
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.
Getting injured and shitty weather is the worst.
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.
Not being able to ride for one reason or another.
Luckily I’ve never had a serious accident (knock on wood), but more just the regular falls causing annoying and never-completely-healed injuries.
So You Can Longboard Dance in Eindhoven, Netherlands, and La Grosse Rando in Paris (a giant cruise through Paris with hundreds of boarders!).
No matter the size of your board or what you do with it, we are stronger together.
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.
Lotfi Lamaali, Aboubakry Seck, Brenno Brelvis (wait, they all ride for Paris Trucks!). But aside from longboarding, Rodney Mullen, Kilian Martin & Connor Burke.
Spins. No wait! No-comply bigger-spin. No, I mean, G-turns. Damn, I can’t choose.

Mozzarella di bufala with salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
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?
Beers, beers and beers. But not those dark, heavy ones that could practically be food.
