We had the chance to ask a few questions to Simon Lorenzo, owner of Homeless Punky Tech. He spent a few months in SoCal, skating and filming for his new DVD: Geeks On Wheels, this is what he had to say:

 - Alright man, name, age and home town.

S: Hey dudes, lam Simon Lorenzo, lam 23 and I come from Spain, yeah! And also I run a little skate company called HPT

- If you could be any streetboarder for one day, who would you be?

S: Hahahahaha, this question is obvious, there are different riders I would like to be for one day, good rails skater, ramp skaters…I guess Gotthard, so that way I would be pushing the level of sport every day, just for the fun of it.

-You would you not be?

S: I can’t answer that without getting in troubles, I don’t want make more people angry at me.

-What is the best thing about Streetboarding?

S: (long pause), (exhales)…the friendships and the family style aspect of it.

- Would you play a game of skate against Gotthard on a 15 stair rail?

     S: Hahaha, I can’t hit a 15 stair rail, so no….

- What if it was money involved? Like a lot

S: No, I think money should be seen as a bonus, skating for money is not fun, is good but is not fun.

- Who would you like to skate with, knowing that you would never be able to?

S: I’ve already skated with everyone I have ever wanted, so I don’t know really…

     - What is the hottest team right now?

S:  I would have to say HPT crew, because everyone has a different style and they all skate different spots, and none of them get paid for and they still enjoy it.

- Well nobody really gets paid with Streetboarding

S: I know, it’s just that I find amazing to find riders that will still try to push the level of the sport to make it better.

- How much money have you spent on Streetboarding?

S: Personally or business wise?

- Well, I mean like all the money you have for streetboard purposes of any kind.

S: Quite a bit, but I don’t feel bad when you spend money in something you like.

-You seemed really motivated within the Streetboard community, you are really involved in several projects, Where does that motivation comes from?

S: I believe in the sport.

- Who do you think will land double backflip on a competition first?

S: That’s obvious, but I think that it will happen in a while. Its to early for Streetboarding

- Dude, you didn’t answer the question

S: Hahahaha, I can’t answer that.

- Who do you think will die first in Streetboarding? Like skating…

S: I hope nobody does

-We all hope that dude, But who do you think is crazy enough to actually dying trying a trick?

S: No one.

- Really?

S: Yes

- Dude, I know a few guys that might die skating any time soon.

-Who would you like to see Streetboarding again?

S: Kai Hammen, I can’t wait for him to get better from his injury, I enjoy skating with him so much, he is really lay back and always smiling.

- He took a really bad slam right? Was it on a rail?

S: Yeah, twelve stair rail. He had a really bad hang up (nightmare) trying nosegrind and landed on his elbow, it was completely shattered; he is out for a year man. I wish him a good and fast recovery.

-Yeah, we all do…hang in there Kai…

- What is the worst slam you have ever seen?

S: I am lucky enough to not seen any bad slams, like really bad.

- Dude, I’ve seen too much, you are lucky, a bad slam will make you stress for sure.

- What is the most insane trick you have ever seen live?

S: Personally, as you know, lam much more a tech skater, and I must say I really like Tobi’s ender in his video part.

- Alright dude, thanks for the interview see you later

S: See you soon dude, hopefully not the last time.
