INTERVIEW

"Barna classic warming up" by Antony Baclène

You're that kind of skater that does lot of gaps, what do you like in it ?

 

 

Yes, I alway like it, even when I was kid because the feeling is so good. When you are in ther air you only think about your board, and when you fall, it's more violent. Then, I feel like tricks on gaps are more esthetics then flatground tricks and so on...

 

 

You never hurt yourself ?

 

I never had serious injuries, sometimes I sprain my ankles or little stuff like that but that's all.

 

Do you like skating in contest ?

 

 

It depends! When there are people who motivate me, may be I might participate. It depends on my mood too. I've never really liked contests because of my deafness. I prefer to skate for myself or to shoot for some videos.

 

 

About that, you have some videos coming soon ?

 

Yes, we have some projects for the KAAF Movie 2. I really like it, it helps me to move on spots, and we prove that there is a good level in this part of the country too. I have more motivation skating with them (PEACE THE KAAFS!!). So I wanna thanks Phillipe Mottet, the film director, to have taken me in the team. Talking about him, I wanted to say that I really like his work.

 

I'll also appear in the POYA, made by a friend of mine, Mathias Decamp, who's working on this video with the skaters of Andenne. He asked me to make a little part for the video so I didn't refuse... 

What is skateboarding for you ?

 

 

It's everything for me. It helps me to evacue my stress or everything. It makes me have good feelings, I skate for myself

 

Sometimes I Hurt myself to land my tricks but once it's done, I feel great. You can do lot of things with skateboarding, take pictures, find your style, your personnality, you travel a lot, meet nice people from all around the world...

 

 

I know you well and so I know that you are a deaf person. Does that influence your way of skating ?

 

 

Yes, because I have much more rewards in the skate world. I mean, when i'm not with skaters, It's hard for me to participe to a conversation or understand it. And so I skate to have pleasure. In the skate world it's different, I can even give some advices to other skaters when they want to learn a trick. 

 

An other thing is that I have more feelings than other peaple when I'm skating. I think I see better when I do something wrong or how to not hurt myself when I'm falling...
