Start:

He took up skateboarding at age nine in Malmo, Sweden. (apnews.com, 11 Feb 2020)

Reason:

He first came across skateboarding when he bumped into friends at Stapelbaddsparken, a newly built skate park in Malmo, Sweden, while on a bike ride with his father. He tried skateboarding and returned the next day. "[I] was there every day for four years. I think what attracted me the most was the group of people and how everyone took care of each other, and how all of a sudden I was able to hang out with people five or 10 years older than me. There wasn't an age barrier. Everyone was just hanging out. When I was playing football, I remember being a bit sick of it, always having to come to practice on time and do this or that in practice. Skateboarding was the complete opposite. It's like everything was on your own conditions." (apnews.com, 11 Feb 2020)

Hero:

US skateboarders Grant Taylor and Tony Hawk. (apnews.com, 11 Feb 2020)

Philosophy:

"I try to put together a line in my head. It might be a line I have been thinking about as I was standing on the platform, like 'Oh, that could be cool to do that there'. Or it might be a line I actually did, a line I stumbled upon and I was like, 'Oh, that was a really good line'. A lot of times, especially when I pull off a good contest run, I figure it out literally at the last moment. On certain occasions, I figured it out while I have been doing the run, like spontaneously, and it just works out." (apnews.com, 11 Feb 2020)

General Interest

General
EUROPEAN SKATEBOARDING
He attended a skateboarding-oriented high school in Malmo, Sweden. Bryggeriets Gymnasium is located inside a skate park and skateboarding is included in the curriculum. He has stated that his path into professional skateboarding differs from that of many US athletes who grow up in the state of California. "[They have] all the best skate spots, all the best parks, all the contacts that you need in terms of sponsors. I think a lot of skaters who are coming up right now who are from Europe are adding a new dimension to skateboarding. The skate spots here are so different to the skate spots in America, so that naturally forms a different environment, a different type of skater." (apnews.com, 11 Feb 2020)

OLYMPIC INCLUSION
He believes the inclusion of skateboarding at the Olympic Games is a positive for the sport. "It pushes the sport into a different direction it hasn't really been in before. It's kind of new territory. A lot of other sports are about jumping a centimetre longer or a centimetre higher than what you did last year. But skateboarding is the opposite of that. There is so much you can do. I think it will actually bring a new aspect to sports." (apnews.com, 11 Feb 2020)
