Adam Walder - Flipside Streetboards Team

Adam Walder Interview

What did your teachers think you would be when you left school?

Haha a Pro Streetboarder. Everyone knew me for that. I used to take my board to school and teach anyone that wanted to try it. One guy in our technology class built a fly off ramp so we put it in the school hall and demo'd it to see how good it was.

Grade yourself in the following subjects:

Maths - probably a C, Maths was never my strongest point

English - A, clearly I speak fluent English don't you know?! Don't be underestimating my intellectual capacitance ;)

Geography - haha this one's a good one, I'm good on places I have travelled, terrible on places that I haven't. Don't ask me about places in South America. So I'd say a D

History - Getting better. I watched 300 recently. Does that count? C?

P.E (or whatever they call it these days?) - It's my job and I passed my course this summer to become an "Elite" Personal Trainer, so it's got to be an A!

Choose:

Cornish Pasty or Fish and Chips? Fish and Chips

Frontside or Backside? Hmm difficult choice, backside tricks look better but I'm not very good at it so if I had to pick one to ride I'd go Frontside. Not Smith's anymore though, not with my self-imposed FS Smith ban!

Concrete or rough tarmac? Concrete all the way, you can slide if you fall on concrete.

Cup of tea and a smoke or coffee and a danish? Haha, I don't drink either one and I don't smoke, but out of the 2 I would go with the Coffee and Danish.
