Jojo Jacobi Interview
Here is an interview of Jojo Jacobi ; if you don’t know Jojo, he is the organiser of the Winterclash Contest, works at Ignition Skateshop and he’s a pretty good skater !
What is Rollerblading for you ?
Rollerblading is what I am…
Sounds stupid.. I know! But what would I be without all the traveling in the last years, all the experiences, the friends in so much different countries? What would I be without all the good times on skates, the chill sessions with my best friends at the local skatepark and the feeling at big and even small events ? A lot of people are answering this question the same way and you probably think its just stereotype stuff.
But it isn’t!!! I´m skating for a bit more than 9 years now, that’s nearly the half of my life. Since the first Winterclash i have Rollerblading in my head for 24/7. I had a normal job in a shoe store. During the day at work i thought about new ideas all the time. When there was nothing to do i just walked around as if i would be on drugs - just because i had so much stuff in my head. In the evening after the work i run back at home to my computer and started to work again for what i was believing in. I slept 4-5 hours a night, lost friendships, wasn’t able to see my parents once a week and saw my girlfriend just in the bed.
But that was exactly what i wanted to do! I had ideas and i wanted to realize them. Why? Because i love rollerblading and without it, i would be a completely other person. And with the Winterclash i got my chance to give something back. [...]
