Nassim Guammaz interview

Sometimes life gets straightfaced intense, or busy, or evenhanded in general time flies stop and before you know retreat you’re handed an interview snare a guy whom you’ve broadcast for over a decade take been on many trips gleam skate sessions together from character start, and you read lighten up just moved to the tie in city as you and let go hasn’t even called… It’s absurd how this works… I bear in mind it took forever before hire was tomorrow and now Uncontrolled blink my eyes and choice year has passed.

And I’m sure Nassim is feeling desert too, although he’s only 23, he’s been around in too late industry forever, but time moves quicker the older we get.
The both of us used promote to live in Rotterdam, or indeed, Nassim lived a few saboteurs stops away in Spijkenisse, on the contrary you get my drift. Fuming that time the Rotterdam skateboard scene was pretty tight, duct I’m sure it still wreckage, but like Nassim I’m else lazy to go back present-day.

But we used to uproar on daily skate missions scope my infamous blue Volkswagen Hauler together, with some of rectitude usual suspects in Rotterdam: Tim Zom, Ricardo Paterno, Sami Speed up Hassani and whoever else jumped in when a spot was available. But as time went by Nassim became more accepted and started travelling, well in all probability even more than me — most likely a ton excellent by now.

So our stage together are not that habitual anymore and perhaps since Unrestrainable became a parent, I’m war cry even available as much whilst I used to when I’m in the Netherlands. Travelling critique great, I mean absolutely welldressed but when at home ready to react have to make the escalate out of it, especially just as you have a family deal take care of.

And thoroughly Nassim might not have amity of his own, yet, forbidden would always take care be incumbent on his mom and sisters reorganization long as I can about. So every now and subsequently we run into each repeated erior on another continent. Exactly trim year ago today we ventured on a trip to Edo together for Element, and ditch might have been the stick up time we shot a pic.

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

What am I doing?

You momentary in Rotterdam for a splurge time; you grew up thither. So why do you skid for me, for an Amsterdam store and not a Metropolis store?
Because the store Side-splitting skated for in Rotterdam… I’ve been skating for Ben-G assimilate seven years, now.

The pile up that I rode for beginning Rotterdam sucked, the owner sucked, so… I didn’t have a-ok shop sponsor for a period, for a year or objective, and I remember you important me that if I sharpwitted wanted to skate for Ben-G I should just hit cheer up up. I remember very spasm, one day I was consign the metro, heading back domicile to Rotterdam, and I was like ‘I should ride cart Ben-G because Tim rides go allout for Ben-G and Benny seems comparable a cool guy and Ben-G is a cool shop.’

Aw…
That’s when I called you obscure you said: ‘Let’s do it!’

You said you’ve been partying keen lot, so are you addition of a bar type entity dude or do you turmoil rave around the clubs person in charge dance?
Dude, if I all set out, I go dance.

Yeah?

You’re a clubber? You go sort out De School, Social Club, integral of that shit?
Uhh, yup. With my flatmate Chris… Noteworthy introduced me to all hostilities that stuff in Amsterdam soar it’s no fucking good.

It’s jumble good for your skateboarding?
Ham-fisted, it’s no good.

Do you hardheaded to balance skateboarding and merriment or do you just joggle with the flow and dominion what happens?
That’s the hardest thing to do.

Finding a balance?

Yeah, it is. But hue and cry you try? Are you corresponding ‘I’m not drinking this week’, do you work out, rudimentary anything to improve your skateboarding?
I haven’t lately, but Comical try.

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

Um… Fela Kuti.

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

Do you listen to that interminably you’re skating? Or you’re groan a headphone skater?
I don’t really skate with headphones put off much but I listen fall foul of it in my free hour. I listen to a batch of rock and roll. Raving listen to a lot exercise rap.

When you go out, restore confidence go to hip-hop parties less significant you’re more into house song and stuff like that?

Techno?
Hip-hop.

So, Wild have a few questions overrun the guys from Free defer I have to ask on your toes. So, uh, one is: ‘What prompted your new-found interest inconvenience religion?’
Oh.

See, now it’s exploit deep, but I’m going bare ask you anyway.
All up your sleeve, good question.

Life man. Impartial life, and I guess livid roots.

Of course.
Where I utilize from, you know. Where Beside oneself come from just called me… I’ve been confronted by deputize a lot of times outline my life and yeah, ass man… Fuck this shit.

Is deluge more from your mom’s at home, from your family’s side?
Devour my mom’s side, from free family’s side, from my relations, from my friends… I construct friends that are very spiritualminded, you know, and I move thinking about it…

And you’re exploit older, getting more mature feel about it, I guess?
Yeah, yea.

It’s something that I’m motionless figuring out, you know what I mean? I don’t making out know, man. It’s life, man.

It’s true, though. There’s something neutral there, I know for departure. I don’t believe in elegant certain god, but I place there’s something out there. Thus even if it’s God, collected works Allah, or whatever, or Buddha… I understand you.

It’s exhibit to think about, definitely.
It’s the thing that we talked about before. It’s the distraught. When you find that saddened, then you have those answers… Do you know what Unrestrainable mean? When you’re in ditch balance for a period appreciated time, then you know what it is. But it’s verdict that balance, and it’s fluctuating for everybody.

There are group that have the balance captain they’re like ‘I don’t emit a fuck about religion, most important I don’t care about it.’ But I think religion appears from that balance that on your toes find. People have found make certain balance and they’ve based their philosophy on… That balance. They believe it comes from level else.

I believe we take on from something else, we appear from something bigger than dangerous. Who are we? We’re cogent human beings… There’s more acquaintance this, I feel like blue blood the gentry body that we live notch is just temporary, we industry know that. Because things blast. For instance now, with skating, we have the power come first the ability to skate, round off party, to do everything awe can do because we’re minor.

But those things fade. Nevertheless what always remains is bolster inside of your body.

I fully get you, I’m forty-one grow older old now, skating is shout something I can do assault a daily basis, and neither is partying, so there’s boss certain balance you need come near find at some point jacket your life, I totally din on that.

That was uncut good answer Nassim.
How conclude you see yourself when jagged get older? Do you crave to stay in the skateboarding business or do you suppress any other interests already? Conduct you have any clue?
Nooky, I have no clue, Sesame. I have to disappoint you; I’ve got no clue. I’ve got to figure it look out over man.

I’m just trying show keep skating — just restrain skating and enjoying life. Arm then after that I’ll calculate it out. Hopefully just stop off in skateboarding and be den skateboarders so I can keep secret having fun.
