What does blackriver mean to me?

Piracy, Art, Life.

Three non-board related things to survive everyday life

Friends. Family. Enemies.

Three statements I´d write on my griptape

BRR-Skull
I ride for fame
Fingerboarding sucks

Things I try to create/ establish

IKEA furniture. Fingerboarding.

Things I try to destroy

Fakes.

Three lies I believed in for too long

Fingerboarding wasn´t "big business".
Tooth fairy.
TV News.

This is how I create my future

Step by step. First of all studying, for now.
And fingerboarding, of course.

This is how I deal with my past

You have to accept it, you can´t change it!

Last words

Don't forget about the roots.
