You ever get into any situations there yourself?
No, nothing like that…I’ve heard a gun shot on the station once, I think that’s probably the closest thing to a “situation” I’ve been to maybe?
You live right by the station, don’t you?
Yeah and it takes 12 minutes to get to town on the fast train and it’s close to the airport as well.
Can you like look out your window, see the train coming and head out?
No not quite. It takes me about five minutes to get the to station.
You know the timetables by heart?
Yeah. There are three fast trains, R, Z and H and then the others stop on every station so I never take those.
You ever think about how much time you’ve spent on those trains altogether?
Fucking loads.
What goes on in them?
Another reason to take the fast train is to avoid the rough stops in between where live and the centre. On the other trains there’s always going to be a Roma or Gypsy who’s asking if you’ve got a phone or money or something. It’s not like I’m scared of getting into something, I’m just not interested in explaining ollies to some tramp while I’m having my morning coffee. Then again sometimes I actually feel like taking the slow train for the same reason I usually don’t take it…
To keep it street level?
Sometimes I just feel like getting into conversations with random people from the suburbs. There’s nothing wrong with the people just because they’re having a rough time.
Who else lives in the flat with you?
I live with my mom and my younger brother. One of my older brothers also lives just around the corner with his family. And the other older brother lives a couple stops away on the train.
Is it like a close-knit family?
Yeah, I’d say we’re pretty close. Maybe I spend the least time with everyone, because of all the travelling and stuff, but I’m still part of all the family stuff anyway. My mom was just asking the other day like what’s the deal, we never eat together any more and that. But I mean it would be really difficult for me to be home at dinner for like 5 pm every day, I can’t wait that long before going out or come back for it when I’ve just gotten started. So I end up just getting something quick from the shop instead.
How does you mom feel about your choice of career in general?
She never says anything much about it, except for when I’m hurt and she tells me to be careful. When I was 16-17, she used to tell me to take it easy a bit on the skating, do something else. I asked her if she preferred me to hang out at the station getting high and being rude. And now she’s sort of accepted that this is like my job in a way, to go out and jump, and that I can get a bit of money doing that. I guess it’s hard to grasp that unless you’re into it yourself. In the winter I work at the skatepark, but in the summer when my mom and my brother wake up for work every morning and I sleep til noon, I can understand how that feels to them like I’m doing nothing.
