Give me one good reason to start...
A good reason to start skating would be; the fun, the satisfaction, the self-expression, the friends, the places you get to see, the people you get to know, always having something you love doing no matter what hapepns, and many more reasons.
And a good one to quit...
A god reason to quit; it hurts your body.
2 things you would change about yourself: I would like to do better in school, and better with girls, but i guess that's what I get for being 100% focused on skating, which is fine by me
2 things you're proud of: Every event I've placed in during my years... everytime I learn a new trick or land a really hard trick for me I feel very proud of myself and happy.
2 persons you owe something: All my sponsors for believing in me, my mom for buying me all the skates and paying for all my travels to competitions all over the world, my friends for being there for me, well at least most of the time hah.
2 things you couldn't live without
Skating, my family, water, food, sleep.
What would you create that still doesn't exist? A perfect skatepark in israel that is free and looks like a street course and has a lot of flowing lines in it and perfect rails and kinks and ledges.
What kind of music do you listen to before skating? anything that juices me up, usually I listen to music while skating, and not before skating, basically any music that has been in skating videos is cool.
You're on a battle field. It's you against 100 angry men, what weapon
would you choose?
My skates, and I would run the fuck away!
Favourite drink?
When I'm skating it's water because it's good to always drink when you skate, non skating would be 100% natural orange juice, or stuff like that. I am really not into drinks with sugar like cola and shit.
Which you like more, contests or photoshooting?
I like them both, shooting for photos is amazing, you get really beautiful pictures sometimes and they mean a lot to me, skating in a contest with all my friends and busting hammers is also really fun!
What you think of Bisca? I love Bisca, I went to Naples 2 years ago for a street event, and I met Bisi and I saw Bisca Clothing, the designs were so creative and were exactly what I would print on a shirt, so I had to ride for Bisca, it's an amazing company with amazing designs and amazing riders.
Ok, say something nice and give shoutouts if you have any: Something nice : - ) , Shoutouts = ANYONE WHO EVER BELIEVED IN ME AND MY SKATING.
