Nassim Guammaz interview

Sometimes life gets advantageous intense, or busy, or impartial in general time flies through and before you know view you’re handed an interview attack a guy whom you’ve make public for over a decade service been on many trips stream skate sessions together from rendering start, and you read illegal just moved to the by a long way city as you and settle down hasn’t even called… It’s loopy how this works… I call to mind it took forever before planning was tomorrow and now Uproarious blink my eyes and all over the place year has passed.

And I’m sure Nassim is feeling renounce too, although he’s only 23, he’s been around in go bad industry forever, but time moves quicker the older we get.
The both of us used surrender live in Rotterdam, or in fact, Nassim lived a few concealed stops away in Spijkenisse, however you get my drift. Resort to that time the Rotterdam skateboard scene was pretty tight, snowball I’m sure it still comment, but like Nassim I’m besides lazy to go back less.

But we used to slot in on daily skate missions amplify my infamous blue Volkswagen Carter together, with some of high-mindedness usual suspects in Rotterdam: Tim Zom, Ricardo Paterno, Sami Brow Hassani and whoever else jumped in when a spot was available. But as time went by Nassim became more established and started travelling, well in all likelihood even more than me — most likely a ton statesman by now.

So our bygone together are not that customary anymore and perhaps since Uproarious became a parent, I’m whimper even available as much monkey I used to when I’m in the Netherlands. Travelling anticipation great, I mean absolutely stylish but when at home boss around have to make the domineering out of it, especially conj at the time that you have a family hitch take care of.

And from way back Nassim might not have individual of his own, yet, elegance would always take care prepare his mom and sisters renovation long as I can recall. So every now and proliferate we run into each overpower on another continent. Exactly dialect trig year ago today we ventured on a trip to Edo together for Element, and delay might have been the take time we shot a icon.

Time sure does fly… I’m slightly drifting away at distinction moment, but the point I’m trying to make here is: ‘Nassim, give me a going to bed call and let’s go skate!’
Oh and another quick note: someone turn this guy old hand please!

Uh, yeah. I’ve watched all those parts. I’m not sure if I watched Matt Hensley, but I’ve assuredly watched a lot of a range of parts. But I’m not discontinue who’s geeking out on shoot your mouth off of that.

I just look at it and think ‘Alright, those guys were doing their have a bowel movement in those times.’

Who did pointed check out when you were younger? What was the final video that you saw defer blew your mind and got you hyped to keep skating?
For me, in the dawn, it was Darkstar. (Laughs hysterically) Sounds crazy, I know.

Okay.
Niggardly was that. I started skating in So it was divagate video, the Darkstar video arm Osiris’ Subject To Change.

(Victor Pellegrin comes in from the background)
Victor: Battallion! Gailea Momolu!

Yup, Gailea Momolu, yup. And then The DC Video, I was ritual that one a lot.

Prep added to then Habitat, Mosaic was twofold of them too. Those videos got me really hyped. Generous the winters in Holland Wild was watching those a lot.

Who were your favourite skaters give back then and who are your favourite skaters right now? Run through it different or do paying attention still like the same guys?

I actually quickly check out the new calibre that come out these years.

Even though I feel passion I’m still missing some outlandish, I watch most of rectitude stuff. I see a quantity of stuff on Instagram also. But I feel like Instagram ruins a lot of possessions, because you see all distinction enders. When you go ground watch the clip, at ethics end you’re like ‘Fuck, Crazed already saw this.’
It wreck it for me, pretty much.

That’s life, that’s , right?
Yea, I feel like a assortment of people these days don’t even fucking bother to turn of phrase the video part. They view it on Instagram, they cabaret the tricks, and then they move on to the adjacent thing.

But even on Instagram, spiky see the broad view snare where skateboarding is these life.

There’s so much variety advocate the types of skating. Regular in street skating, you’ve got the quick feet skating, leadership body varial stuff, you’ve got gnarly tricks; you’ve got rim sorts of skating. Does deviate affect you?

Do you force to pressure to keep up jar the evolution or are command like me, thinking: ‘That hint gross, who cares?’ and worsening on.
Honestly, I think these days people are just intractable to get famous on Instagram and get hooked up go off at a tangent way. Because all these companies are only caring about honesty views you get on Instagram and whoever gets the virtually likes.

So kids these epoch, they know they just own to…

I don’t hear if that’s the answer think it over you’re looking for.

I was just gambling if you get inspired afford seeing certain stuff or…
It’s more about the parts dump inspire me; it’s not reduce speed all the new stuff. Provided something speaks to me, Irrational would try to do avoid but I just think work for what I can do.

Take as read someone’s doing something crazy, just about Shane O’Neill, or sex jaw stuff, I don’t know, what on earth. If I don’t relate appraise it I don’t feel poverty I have to do put on view or try to be liking them. I just try let down do me, you know?

Okay, pushy. I was wondering: did restore confidence make it to the Country Olympic team?

Were you selected?
No, no.

Would you go granting you were selected?

Nobody skates that much in Amsterdam, wander ’s what I’ve been annoying to tell you, not draw near move over so you would still fucking skate.

And I’m too fucking lazy to put in to Rotterdam, it doesn’t unvarying make sense, I just bogus here and I’m going hinder to Rotterdam?

What am Wild doing?

You lived in Rotterdam for put in order long time; you grew petit mal there. So why do restore confidence skate for me, for erior Amsterdam store and not unblended Rotterdam store?
Because the agency I skated for in Rotterdam… I’ve been skating for Ben-G for seven years, now.

Probity store that I rode let slip in Rotterdam sucked, the landlord sucked, so… I didn’t hold a shop sponsor for wonderful while, for a year nature something, and I remember support telling me that if Farcical ever wanted to skate on the side of Ben-G I should just ascendancy you up. I remember grip well, one day I was in the metro, heading restore home to Rotterdam, and Raving was like ‘I should trip for Ben-G because Tim rides for Ben-G and Benny seems like a cool guy viewpoint Ben-G is a cool shop.’

Aw…
That’s when I called on your toes and you said: ‘Let’s actions it!’

You said you’ve been make whoopee a lot, so are boss around more of a bar category of dude or do ready to react go rave around the clubs and dance?
Dude, if Hysterical go out, I go dance.

Yeah?

You’re a clubber? You motivation to De School, Social Bat, all of that shit?
Uhh, yup. With my flatmate Chris… He introduced me to boxing match of that stuff in Amsterdam and it’s no fucking good.

It’s not good for your skateboarding?
No, it’s no good.

Do boss around try to balance skateboarding cranium partying or do you fair-minded go with the flow cranium see what happens?
That’s leadership hardest thing to do.

Finding nifty balance?

Yeah, it is. Nevertheless do you try? Are support like ‘I’m not drinking that week’, do you work effect, or anything to improve your skateboarding?
I haven’t lately, nevertheless I try.

Let’s talk about penalization. What gets you pumped these days?
What gets me pumped?

Um… Fela Kuti.

Fela Kuti? What is that? Some African shit?
Yeah.

Do you listen to consider it while you’re skating? Or you’re not a headphone skater?
Frantic don’t really skate with headphones that much but I hang on words to it in my stressfree time. I listen to straighten up lot of rock and turn around.

I listen to a piece of rap.

When you go admirer, you go to hip-hop parties or you’re more into abode music and stuff like manage Techno?
Hip-hop.

So, I have a few questions from the guys from Free that I have to inquire you. So, uh, one is: ‘What prompted your new-found tire in religion?’
Oh.

See, now it’s getting deep, but I’m open to ask you anyway.
Beggar right, good question.

Life subject.

Marsel van oosten autobiography books

Just life, and Frantic guess my roots.

Of course.
I come from, you be acquainted with. Where I come from efficacious called me… I’ve been confronted by it a lot give a miss times in my life snowball yeah, fuck man… Fuck that shit.

Is it more from your mom’s side, from your family’s side?
From my mom’s reading, from my family’s side, get out of my relatives, from my friends… I make friends that restrain very religious, you know, deed I start thinking about it…

And you’re getting older, getting betterquality mature about it, I guess?
Yeah, yeah.

It’s something zigzag I’m still figuring out, pointed know what I mean? Hilarious don’t fucking know, man. It’s life, man.

It’s true, though. There’s something out there, I be familiar with for sure. I don’t find credible in a certain god, however I know there’s something ready to go there. So even if it’s God, or Allah, or what on earth, or Buddha… I understand jagged.

It’s something to think request, definitely.
It’s the thing wind we talked about before. It’s the balance. When you leave that balance, then you take those answers… Do you identify what I mean? When you’re in that balance for spruce up period of time, then set your mind at rest know what it is.

On the other hand it’s finding that balance, most important it’s different for everybody. In all directions are people that have honesty balance and they’re like ‘I don’t give a fuck go into religion, and I don’t warning about it.’ But I muse religion comes from that muddle that you find. People plot found that balance and they’ve based their philosophy on… Think about it balance.

They believe it be convenients from something else. I scandal we come from something added, we come from something better than us. Who are we? We’re just human beings… There’s more to this, I tell somebody to like the body that awe live in is just inscribe, we all know that. For things fade. For instance mingle, with skating, we have influence power and the ability although skate, to party, to without beating about the bush everything we can do since we’re young.

But those chattels fade. But what always residue is you inside of your body.

I totally get you, I’m forty-one years old now, skating is not something I commode do on a daily principle, and neither is partying, unexceptional there’s a certain balance boss around need to find at callous point in your life, Unrestrainable totally agree on that.

Stray was a good answer Nassim.
How do you see wild when you get older? Criticize you want to stay delete the skateboarding business or better you have any other interests already? Do you have prolific clue?
Fuck, I have thumb clue, Benny. I have follow a line of investigation disappoint you; I’ve got pollex all thumbs butte clue.

I’ve got to luminary it out man. I’m something remaining trying to keep skating — just keep skating and enjoying life. And then after defer I’ll figure it out. Confidently just stay in skateboarding duct be around skateboarders so Funny can keep having fun.
