Interview

How did you get to wakeboarding ? How long have you been riding ? Comment avez vous connu le wake? Depuis combien de temps vous rider?

B. : I really like snowboarding when I was younger but during the summer it´s kind of lack of snow. So I tried wakeboard one time and it was awesome! I started ride behind the boat for seven years ago and cable three.

M. : I really liked doing flips and that kind of stuff and my older brother benjamin have been doing wakeboard for  one year before i tried it. I loved it and now i’m addicted

I’m discover with a bredda vidéo, there is 8 month ago when you where in thailand for 3 month, can you explain this road trip? J’ai découvert la vidéo Bredda, il ya 8 mois quand vous étiez en thailand pour 3 mois, pouvez vous nous faire partager ce Roadtrip?

Thailand is like our second home so we go there almost every year. The place we go to called wake a lot and thats like our base. That trip was like hakuna matata which means no worries be happy, and that’s waht it’s  all about. We were just riding every day and dident think much about the level we were on. And later in this trip we bought a camera and started to film eachother. They way the filming effected us in was that we just wanted to push our limits more and more. At the end we came up with our name « Breddas » which means brothers in jamaican.

This winter where do you go ? Cet Hiver vous partez où?

B. : We´re are traveling together.

M. : Philippines (republic) Thailand (wake a lot, hua hin and twp)

J. : Traveling with ma bros

Can you introduce your Team Breddas? Pouvez vous nous présenter votre Team Breddas?

Breddas is a team with only us brothers Benjmain, Jeremia and Mattias, and we started this team for two months ago.  Our motto is to really pushing each other and do it with love, style and happiness. Our main thing are to do videos and edits about the thing we like the most, which is wakeboard. Of course we do some comps as well but don´t take it to serious yet.

I know you have a 2.0 in your garden ; can you introduce your spot WCPE ? Je sais que vous avez un TK 2 poulies dans votre jardin ; vous nous présentez votre spot WCPE?

We are 6 brothers that wanted to do something together so we started our own 2.0 extremesport park for three years ago now. When we first started the project we dident really know what would happen in the future but we wanted to try. It turned out really great and we’re really happy about it.
This 2.0 has given us everything, with unlimited riding and good homies around you there’s no limit of what you can do. Right now it’s a 2.0 with two kickers, one flatbar and a transfer box with a frame and we also have a club house, beachvolleyboll and a hot tub and more.. Basically this is where it all happens and we´re also hosting our own event every year and it’s getting crazy!

Where do your inspiration and style come from ? D’où viens votre inspiration et votre style?

B. : It´s a mix of everything, snowboarding, wakeboarding, skateboarding etc. And of course I look at other riders but mostly me and my brothers talk about what looks good and how to do it original and special.

M. : Hmm When i’m together with my bros we usually talk about whats possible and how to make it look good and then we try it. For me i try to find my own style  with a little help from my brothers.

J. : My brothers and of course many other good riders, like nico von lerchenfeld, raph derome, and many more..

B. : Just the way we are, why just spin when you can do flips? Then if its cool or not we didn´t care too much about because we didn´t do it too serious. Matt was close to die but he didn´t.

M. : If you start doing flips up to rails you open up a whole new world. It was probably the scariest thing i ever done. You can do stylish flips so why not challange your self and see if you can do on rails.
