So Hot Right Now: Danijel Todorovic
November 17, 2007
So then, what are you up to at this very minute? Where are you and what are you up to?
Right now I'm at my office, AKA "good friends' coffeehouse next to the skateshop"! My good friend Mattias has the best coffe shop in Malmö and I work from here a lot, from my computer with all the Nike SB stuff, so this place is perfect! Good internet...
What do you do over at Nike SB?
I'm freelancing sales rep, team manager for Sweden and team rider; one man band!
Who does the swedish SB team consist of? Who are the rippers we should keep an eye out for?
We are a bunch of really nice dudes. We have one of Malmö legends Chrstian "CRPL" Sjöberg then we have Emre Yercok, Koffe Hallgren and Björn Tjernberg. I'm super pleased with the boys, they represent our brand good and its a good diversity.
How is it in sweden at the minute, are you still there quite a bit or do you find yourself traveling about more? Where have you been recently?
Sweden at the moment is sick! Skate-wise its the best place but the weather isn't the best. It's starting to get cold now, but if you hit the street these days you really get shit done because you know it might rain tomorrow, so that's a good motivation. But I'm still here quite a lot, I try to be home as much as i can during the summers and then do the trips in winter. Last place I traveled to was LA for the Nike SB premiere and straight after that to London for the UK premiere.
Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah...Timeless frontside 360 in Barca. Photo: Leo
How were the premiers? I heard that the London one was quite a lavish affair! Was the LA one similar?
The LA one was crazy! I really dont know how to express myself, it was an amazing event with everyone attending. All the pros were there to support, and to be in the Kodak Theatre with 2500 skaters all watching the same skate movie, that was something different!
Both the LA and London parties where sick, though I think the London one was little bit more relaxed. The dancing in London got out of hand, I think it was Smithy that danced into the DJ so his players flew into the air, and then the fire alarm went off, someone smashed the window of the bus etc...it was sick, though!
Thats why we have comps and events, it's a nice excuse to meet everyone and get drunk!
Do you make it to many of the comps out in Sweden? Which are the main ones that people get hyped on?
We do alot of them.. we've got a loooooong winter so events keep us going. The main ones are Millencolin open in Örebro, the old Minute crew used to come visit us for that, then we have the Lucia Classic, Quickbolwriders is the biggest one and its nice cause its outdoor and during the summer. I also support a lot of local events through Nike SB.
What events do you sponsor through Nike SB? Are they little ones or do you sponsor any major ones?
I do a lot of smaller, local ones, the biggest one I've done is the WESC skate camp, that was a super sick event with 170 kids attending. The other week I did the whole Nothing But The Truth premiere tour across Sweden and that was super nice; I hope people were stoked!
