Mats Hilmer
Firstly what’s your name, how old are you and where are you from?
My name is Mats, i'm 19 years old and i'm from Odense, Denmark.
What age did you first start skateboarding and what inspired you to first pick up a board?
I think I was around 6 years old when I first picked up a board - My brother Freddy has always been a huge inspiration to me, so I guess he was the reason why I started skating.
What is your all-time favourite skate video and which ones are you into at this moment in time?
My favourite movie is definitely Fully Flared, as mentioned earlier. The movie came out over a decade ago, and the production is just amazing - The intro is probably one of my favourite scenes in any movie ever. I don't think I have any movies that I’m really stoked on at the moment, unfortunately.
Do you have a preference towards street skating, skate parks or vert or are you happy to experience and skate everything?
I prefer street skating for sure - I enjoy skating parks, but it just feels so much better skating a raw concrete ledge that was not meant for skating, than a perfect ledge at the local skatepark. It's all about preference I guess.
