When did skateboarding change your life?

I have always had a skateboard but When I was about 12, I saw some people skating so I had a go and loved it. Not long after I bought a proper deck off a friend and found trucks, wheels, and everything and created a skate crew with the people I saw skate and some friends

 

What is your favorite trick and why?

Probably a Tre Flip because it’s such an effortless and good feeling trick

 

With skateboarding in the Olympics, do you think skateboarding can prostitute itself or lose the true essence? 

I don’t really know but I think it’s a good way to expand skateboarding which is good for business

 

When was the first time you won a skateboard contest & how did you feel?

I was 15 and it was one of the regional championship stages and it felt so good, I was so stoked

 

Skateboarding and music are very connected to each other, what do you like to listen to while skateboarding?

Mainly ski mask or something like that to get me hyped

 

 

 

Do you prefer to shred in the streets or in skateparks? Why?

Probably skateparks because it’s better for like practicing and learning new tricks but if I’m working on a part than in the streets

 

Have you ever thought of giving up skateboarding? Why?

Never because it’s so fun

 

What inspires you to shred and evolve every day? Fame or just fun?

Mainly because it’s fun and I love skating but I do want to get good

 

What’s your daily routine before you go shred?

I just eat and go

Just don’t stop and have fun – Anton
