January 2, 2011 by MartinB. | 1:03 pm
Hello Stöpsel! Tell us about who you are, where you from and whats your daily business.
– I go by the name of Stephan ,some people however lovingly call me „Stöpsel“ (with „ö“ like in Motörhead) So far i cleared 28 years and i live in Flensburg and i am the clerk at Germany’s uttermost northern recordstore.
How did you get in touch with fingerboarding?
– I got in touch with FB the same way like every second fingerboarder: via skateboarding! Around the millenium i saw the first TechDecks in some skatemagazine and was completely stunned. The next day i went downtown to buy one myself but that was of no big succes at all. Things take a little longer to reach Flensburg. A few days later i was on a school trip to Hamburg and i navigated myself straight to the next skateshop were i immediately found a fingerboard. I was hooked from that day and i can’t imagine living without fingerboarding.
Whats your current setup?
– Flaked 4 Ply , Blackriver Trucks, WinklerWheels Blackriver Edition black 
What is your favorite trick?
– fakie flip, flip – frontside boardslide, crookedgrind … ask me in two weeks and i bet you’ll get a different answer ;-)
Do you have any favorite rider or a video that influenced you?
– Right now i will have to say Harry, Ramon, Jay, Martin B. and Gene . They all have styles for miles!
My „all time favorites“ are Martin Winkler and Thomas Hansen
Which fingerboard experience did you like the most (contest/jam/session)?
– I really enjoyed every single event, no matter if it was a competition, jam or session.
If i would have to pick one i would say jams are the best, since everything is a little more relaxed. With time to really talk to people, fingerboard without pressure and most of all time to grab a beer or two.
And finally do you want to thank someone?
– Thanks to Martin B. and Stegen for this interview and the incredible webpage.
Thanks to Flaki from Flaked Fingerboards for the support, the NWDC for the neverending party-action and thanks to the „Musikpalast“ in Flensburg.
Best wishes to :
