January 3, 2011 by MartinB. | 7:01 am
Hello Marti! Tell us about who you are, where you from and whats your daily business.
– Hi man! I’m Spanish, from a city near Barcelona. I’m 14 and I love to go out with friends, filming and editing videos (I also film and edit some skate videos for a friend’s brand), skateboarding, fingerboarding (obviously), playing basketball and everything related with the hip hop world. At the moment I’m studying, and I’m sponsored by Shen Company Fingerboards.
How do you get in touch with fingerboarding?
– A good friend of mine called Albert Riera discovered a “miniature skateboard” in a local skateboard shop three years ago, and he bought some of them. Soon all the guys in my school had a Tech Deck and we were always practicing. Soon I bought a Close Up fingerboard, and six months later a berlinwood, and everything started.
Whats your current setup?
– My setup is a Shen Company “ride over me” deck, with BRR Trucks, Winkler Wheels BRR edition and FBS tape.
What is your favorite trick?
– Nollie and switch heelflips and their variations! I love them!
Do you have any favorite rider or a video that influenced you?
– Everyone that has a good style and nice and clean tricks, at this moment I really like Isak Karlsson, he’s a beast. I love long videos like Grand Illusion, or those amazing videos that makes Danny Friedrich, he films and edits so amazingly good!
Which fingerboard experience you liked the most (contest/jam/session)?
Which fingerboard experience you liked the most (contest/jam/session)?
– Definitely the Goldfinger event in the Barcelona Extreme Sports Festival, organized by Blackriver and Shen Company. I had a great time there and i met some really cool persons and a part of the BRR team!
And finally do you want to thank someone?
– I want to thank Thor, the Shen Company owner for his support, to all those people who make fingerboard better and better every day and to you for this interview Martin! Thank you really much!
THX Marti!
