P: really? Have you been robbed?
S: no, but i was driven over by a car...
P: sounds bad..
S: not at all, but the car driver now has more problems than i have. Streetriding by sunshine-there is nothing better!
P: yeah, right. I can t stand to get out when the sun is shining! There are less oppertunites to ride street here in kassel as they are in hamburg!
S: i was stoked when i first rode street here. There are so many unknow spots in hamburg.
P: you know kassel...
S: but you become creative..
P: are you creative?
S: when i was in nyc the guys there motivatet me a lot! Everybody wants to build trash ramps!

S: in first...money... and the people in hamburg.don t get me false, everybody here wants to take a trip, but when its time to go they say no...i love to travel with christoph (huber)!
P: what s your favourite kind of street riding?
S: it s hard to tell. Handrails, subrails... i loved to jump stairs, but it does not turn me on at all.i leave that to the fully guys.
P: but you re doing these big gaps when i watch you in skateparks. Why do you do that, what turns you on doing it..?
S: i don t know. Maybe because i m sometimes working as a stuntman. I love to think abou going from a to b.
P: what are you doing at your stunt-jobs? Jumping from buildings?
S: things like that, i love to run,jump and land, everything that has to do with parkour.
P: did you ever hurt yourself doing things like that?
S: not at all, hm but maybe sometimes when i tried these things while i was drunk... I had my worst crashes while snowboarding or riding bmx.
P: no examples!
