The Conference catches up with USD and Kizer’s Albert Hooi
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
After seing Albert Hooi’s Carbon setup causing raised eyebrows, we decided it was the perfect time for a little interview to see how he was getting on. Albert has been at the top of the European and international skate scene for many, many years now, and shows no signs of slowing down. We would like to thank him for his commitment and loyalty to USD, and for being a beacon for European rolling.
1. Albert How old are you now, and how long have you been skating USD’s?
I just turned 26 today man, (21st Jan). I’ve been skating USD’s for such a long time now man, it’s hard to remember, maybe 7 years? All I can remember is that the first pair I bought were the original Julio Classic Thrones, black boot with 50/50’s Juice system, and grey 50/50 frames, basically the best skate ever.
I ordered them from Skatepile because the ones in Europe didn’t come with the Juice blocks, speaking of which, I really can’t understand why they stopped making the Juice System, it was so fuckin’ good! [...]
