Dominik Wagner: Shock Interview
Have you become more confident as a skater after being given the title Remz pro?
I dont know, if I gained more confidence as a skater but it showed me I did something right the passed years and i reached something I only woud have dreamed of a couple of years ago!
What got you into rollerblading?
Maybe it was destiny, but looking back i think it was a nescesary development in my life. I started skiing when i was 3 years old and from the beginnig i had this obsession with jumping over ramps, the problem was I lived very far away from the mountains so I just came to ski once a year. During the same time there was this group of skateboarders living on my street with a self built jumpramp. One of the first things I ever saw, that had something to do with skating, was one of those guys jumping over a car and breaking both of his legs.
When I got a little bit older I started skateboarding by myself, which was the perfect sport for me, because I always hated the idea of having a trainer and could not get myself into something that’s not possible to do whenever and whereever i wanted. I kept on skateboarding for around 5 or 6 years until i saw the first rollerbladers in my local skatepark, in the beginning I didn’t really liked it and I thought it looks stupid, but on the other hand it caught my attention because I saw it was more body controled than skateboarding. In the end I decided to get myself a pair for christmas. I remember that I never felt as free as the first time on rollerblades in a skatepark, I had the feeling I could do whatever I want on rollerblades, skateboards were always to huge for me, so it was hard to control for me and looking on pictures from that time a skateboard next to me looks more like a surfboard.
