Surname:

How old are you?

25 years, May 24, 1994

Where were you born and what influenced you the most there?

I was born in Ukraine (Kharkov). There I received my first BMX bike from my parents. I will never forget the homies who patiently taught me my first tricks and hope to see them all again soon.

Where do you currently live and what brought you there?

I came to Germany with my parents about 13 years ago to Kelsterbach. I have been living directly in Frankfurt for about 3 years. Back then, I was already riding my BMX every day from Kelsterbach to Frankfurt, 15 km each way, because there are nice spots here in Frankfurt and several people who are always ready for a session.

What is your great passion and what drives you?

My biggest passion is BMX riding, I just love putting on the headphones and cruising through the city. When I'm on a BMX bike, I always feel so free and just happy to do what I enjoy and be as creative as I want.

What do you like to do with your free time when you're not pursuing your passion?

In my free time I also like to go on bike rides on my racing bike. Otherwise I like to meet up with friends and occasionally hold up the football. I also like to party.

How long have you been skating/photographing/riding BMX/making art and what inspired you to do it?

I've been riding BMX since I was 13. I was actually thinking about whether I wanted a skateboard or BMX for my birthday, but I decided on BMX because it makes me much more mobile and with BMX it doesn't really matter what surface I ride.

What is your favorite trick/favorite motif and why?

Pegs hard 360.

What is your favorite spot and what makes it special?

Favorite spot are the Bocki Curbs. There you always have peace and quiet, you can have a session with several people at the same time and the spot is nice and sunny. There is also delicious pizza and a library cafeteria that sweetens a session with coffee and snacks.

Are you goofy or regular?

Regular.

What other sponsors do you have?

Sibmx, Wethepeople, Odyssey, Ciaocrew, Deepend BMX Shop.
