Andreas Olsson
Biography
How fast did you sprint the 100 meter in gym class?
hmm, I can't really remember. I could sprint quite fast but i was more of a long distance runner, hehe.
What types of injuries have you had doing what you do?
I've been pretty lucky with that so far. No fractures. Worst one would be a dislocated elbow a few years ago. I have a scar across my eyebrow after banging my head in the concrete in our skatepark.
Besides that, not much really.
Where is your favorite place to be?
Where i am right now, Barcelona. The spots, weather and skate scene is incredible here. Anyone who hasn't had a chance to come here yet, should do it asap.
What does being connected mean to you?
Having part of something i guess.
What do you think Simon's favorite thing to do is?
Snowboarding?
In your predictions where do you see fashion going in the next 5 years?
That's a hard question. Fashion is changing so much all the time. There are so many new brands coming up all the time, all fighting to find a unique style so my guess is that we'll see a lot of
new styles and then there will always be old fashions coming back again. I hope to see more of the baggy styles coming back. I also think there will be more clothes expressing opinions and such, more than just a logo or brand name on it. But who knows, time will tell.
If you were at Mcdonald's right now what would you order?
Just a coffee with apple pie probably. I'm not feeling McDonald's too much. We have "Max" in Sweden, they make hamburgers with soul dude.
Other Sponsors?
I also ride for VA Skateboards, Loco Wheels, Oneoff and éS
Rock, Paper, Scissors which one do you through down first?
Rock
In your opinion does our industry need to change in anyway?
I don't know how i'd like the industry to be. I just hope that the passion and love for skateboarding/snowboarding will always stand above money.
Hobbies?
I don't do much besides skateboarding really. I like to draw and play around with photoshop. My dad is into music a lot and he has this little homemade studio, so I like to sit down there and just do beats sometimes.
Any shoot outs?
To my parents, brothers and sisters, Sean and everyone from VA, all close friends, my sponsors. Thanks for everything!
