Matti Kinnunen (FIN)
SNOWBOARD
What's your name?
Matti Kinnunen
Born when and where?
Born at 1987, in the middle of Finland
What in your eyes made you what you are today?
Friends and parents mostly.
Your are riding since...?
'97
How did you get into this ?
I was riding with skis since I was 4yr old and then, I guess, I got bored and snowboarding looked way more cooler. Besides that, my dad and mom was also riding with skis and I was like hey, I don't wanna be like them, heh.
What is the meaning of style?
It's the most important thing in shredding! That's the way it should go.
How would you describe your personal riding style?
I wanna do tricks what feel good. And try to think and make up a bit different tricks also.
What's your favorite ski/board model and what stance are you riding (ski: position to center - board: angle, width and position to center)
Now I'm riding with Amplid Verdict 56. It's very balanced in big kickers but still pretty agile in jibbing. Perfect for parks. Stance depends on what I'm riding for. Just what feels comfortable.
What's your best trick you are currently pulling and what are you working on?
It's summer dude!
Your favorite riding spot?
I like any place where is good powder or good parks. But friends make usually any spot good.
What do you consider your most precious achievements in your live as a rider?
Getting to ride in different countries and places. And getting many good friends.
What do you do when you don't ride?
I like to do many things like trampoline,tennis,poker,joggling etc. And I'm also into chess. That's my way to think a bit longer than usually,eh.
What if you got five hours to use Bill Gate's credit card. What would you do?
I'd transfer a few millions to my own account, but I'd need just five minutes.
What is there what money can't buy for you?
Good memories.
You need to spend the rest of your live on an island - what would you bring ? 10 items max ...
Millions from Bill gate's and hope the island would have residents already to use the money.
Gimme 3 losers and 3 winners of this planet!
Can't really name any. Everybody is sometimes a winner and sometimes a loser.
Your top 5 loves?
friends, girls, shredding, chilling and having fun!
And your top 5 hates...
Wet socks, wet pants, wet gloves, wet beanie or any wet things on me except ladies..hah
Your top 5 bands?
I don't listen that much music but Looptroop, Cypress hill, Him and Kemmuru works good for me.
What kind of food are you into?
A basic finnish home made food but the fast food is sometimes also good.
What are you most afraid of?
Well, maybe injuries but can't think about them too much.
Any personal manifesto you are living by?
Not really.
What's your favourite pick up phrase?
Which is your favourite website and why?
Redtube is too good to be true! Oh, I meant Youtube of course.
What would you perform in case you had to participate in a casting show?
Your daily contribution to make a better world?
I try not to be leaving trash in the nature.
How do you see yourself in 20 years from now?
Hopely doing something what I like.
Anything else you would like to add?
Have fun!
Thank you for your time.
