When did skateboarding change your life?

When I was 4 years old and I got my first board.

What is your favorite trick and why?

No comply tail slide on transition. Maybe cause it’s kind of easy to do.

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

I think that the shredding in the Olympics is all right. There has been a completion all the time since skateboarding has been created, and it is an important part of shredding itself. I don’t think that the essence of skateboarding will harm a lot just because of the Olympics.

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

In” Ponkes Schools outs” in the year 2014 (when I was 9yrs old). It was amazing.

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

I actually don’t usually listen’ music while shredding… But in videos I prefer most Funk and rap.

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

It depends about the park. Usually I more prefer to skate on the streets.  

 Have you ever thought of giving up skateboarding? Why? 

Never! I will never ever give up.

Fame or just fun?

Shredding is just the funniest way to spend the time. 4 hours a day is normal. On the other hand, I try to get famous someday, and make it a profession for myself.

What’s your daily routine before you go shred?

I may watch few videos and STRETCH!

Any inspiring words you want to tell the next generation of skaters?

Don’t ever give up with shredding, and remember this: Always, and I mean always, remember to stretch. – Anton
