interview with Michal Smik about Here is the interview with Michal Smik about the Slovakian skateboards company BonBon skateboards from Poprad. Michal is the founder of the company and he will explain to us more about it. Don’t hesitate to read the interview ;) First of all , tell us when and how did you first get into skateboarding? Actually it was maybe 13 ago when my brother rides rollerblades, I get into this. We bought Board magazine first time and I was pretty impressed by what I have seen there. 3 yeras later I have bought my own one, and that when it all begun. Favorite riders and skate movies? I do not have the most favourite riders. Everytime it is someone else. I can see a lot of not known riders that are recording pretty unbelievable skate parts. Nowadays a lot of skate videos are presented, but for me the most epic and legendary is Globe-Opinion. I think this was the first video I have ever seen and it was awesome, I think it still is. It is overtime project. What aspect of skateboarding do you enjoy the most? Creativity. I think now its time that you can see Nyjah doing kick noseblunt down insane rail and I am like, okey this is f*cking awesome but to much robotic. I really appreciate the creativity in skatebording, unseen tricks, unseen spots, unseen styles. So for me creativity, which makes the skatebording independent and never ending.
