YOUNESS AMRANI - WHAT KIND OF SKATER ARE YOU?
|
Dear readers, please excuse us for switching over to English for just a few pages. The reason is that the person you’re about to see interviewed just doesn’t speak our complicated language. And we hope you do the same when you meet people from other countries – keep the kraut talk to a minimum. So let’s meet Youness Amrani, amazing young Euro-ripper from Belgium who may not know what a fuckking “Fragebogen” is but who’ll reveal some of his personality with our customized multiple choice questionnaire. Here we go!
