Who better than a company owner can give us some insights on this topic... Here is the interview with Roman Astleitner. , the team manager of Muckefuck skateboards & urethane. Enjoy reading this awesome interview Your company was founded in the 2005, nowadays your urethane and skateboards team is very big, a lot of riders skates for you. What do you look for while creating/ curating a team? For the skateboard team the focus was and still is to support the local scene... we just sponsor riders from Austria and Lee Blackwell! I’ve known Lee for a long time and when he was without a board sponsor we decided to put him on the team! The urethane division has an international focus. With our wheels we are able to support riders from all over the globe. In choosing team riders it’s not just how good somebody is on their board. They must be good characters you can go on tour and have a great time with... passion is the second thing - we want guys that are dedicated to skateboarding. We support the underrated - no super stars needed!
