Aaron Feinberg exclusive interview! (English)

Greetings from “Your Enemies” riders community from Omsk, West Siberia!

1. What kinda music do you prefer while blading and out of it?
–my favorite music to skate to and listen to is mainly pink floyd, the beatles, and bob dylan. Bob dylan doesnt have that many fast paced songs for skating, but he is my favorite, a real OG.

.
2. Do you keep an eye on rollerblading industry? What’s your estimation of young generation progress?
–ive been out of the loop for a good few years now, but recently i went to the AIL contest at woodward west, and got to see where rollerblading is heading.

.
3. Why did you choose rollerblading? What was your impulse? Maybe you’ve checked out some other sorts of sports before?
–I had no plans on choosing rollerblading, it just seemed like something fresh and original, so i gave it a go. i feel like i got in at the perfect time too, because I felt like i grew everyday simultaneously with the growth and temporary downfall, and it was a great ride.

.
4. What did you ply for recent years?
–…

.
5. You know, the USD brand is associated with your name primarily, as far as we can judge. Are you USD pro-skater still?
–well like i said, ive been on a break from skating, but recently mark korte and demetrios George offered me an incentive deal to skate for USD again, so i am in the works of possibly getting back involved..

6. What’re your plans for future?
–I want to be indendant just like I was as a pro skater, get a college degree, and get married.

.

7. And what about alcohol, dope? What was your attitude to this stuff in different periods of life?
–alcohol and drugs are obviously very dangerous and addictive, thats why i just smoke weed and limit my drinking. Weed is a great drug for anybody trying to be a pro athlete, or for just about anyone for that matter, as long as it is used with the right intentions.

.

8. While blading career you and your team have visited different countries. What was the most bang-on
tour? Where’d you experienced the toughest spots but United States?
–That would be barcelona, spain and berlin, germany. these places had a lot of natural, artsy structures, as well as huge stunts.

9. Try to imagine, what would you do if there was no blading in your life?
–well thats not hard to do, because these days i dont blade much. I just go to college, ride my motorcycle, and play poker.

.

10. Who’s the best of the best in rollerblading in your opinion? And who do you think has gained the best
results?
–hands down, i give this title to brian shima. He has had the most respectful and healthiest rollerblading career out of anyone.

.

11. What’re your impressions of USD-tour in Moscow? Maybe you’ve marked somebody of Russian guys
especially?
—moscow was a hell of an experience. Ive never been to a country that is so damn mafioso, we were doin it big in moscow. special thanks to Alex, the usd rep in moscow, for showing us all a great time.
.

12. What sort of blading do you prefer – park skating or some dangerous street spots?
–Its about equal for me, but i think of myself a street skater first.

.

13. What’s your attitude to video shootings? Do you like cameras focused at you while making some mad
tricks?
–yah thats what it comes down to if you wanna be pro. you have to learn to be comftorble under the spot lite and thrive off off that very lite.

.

14. Please, say some words about your source of inspiration in rollerblading?

–Arlo Eisenberg and Tj Webber have always been the most inspirational to me from the get go, so i just
wanna pay some respect to them.

.

15. Up to date you’ve became the symbol of blading for the younger generation. But was there somebody
who you tried to be like when you began to skate?
–the answer to that is NO. I never wanted to directly be like one specific person, i just wanted to be successful and have fun in the process.

.

16. Do you work now? Would you like to be in rollerblading business? For instance try yourself in
developing absolutely new model of skates.
–I dont have a real job at the moment, just go to school, but if i had the opportunity to make money in the rollerblading industry, i would jump right at it.

.

17. Please, say some words about the setup of your skates. It’s an ordinary question, but we’re very
interested)
–classic thrones with kizer fluid frames, but thats just because im an old school cat.

18.. Thanx a lot man for your interview for Siberian do-or-die guys! Maybe you have some words to wish us?
