MEMORY LANE
How and when did you get involved with skateboarding?
First memories are from CKY movies and Jackass.
Ever been in a skategang?
In 2013 we started this gang called Lasten_osasto that started as a joke but we have managed to do lots of cool stuff and we're still going strong! We've also been managing some rad competitions and happenings.
STYLE
What kind of spots do you prefer?
Haha, I don’t skate but as long as there is a chance to have a few beers and good times you can count me in. DIYs are cool. Building is fun.
PHILOSOPHY
How has skateboarding changed the way you perceive the world?
That you belong in a community, finding friends has always been easy through skateboarding.
Has skateboarding affected the way you make music or other things?
Most of the happenings I manage and art I do are skateboarding related. For example we used to do this VHS8 club for two years with Carli Broberg, it was a lot of fun. And we had this crazy project to build a miniature UJP from clay with Saku Martikainen, haha!
