Interview.. Lisa Jacob

I remember the first time i saw Lisa, it was in Paris in ’00. She was around 14 year old and already killed it, kickflip and nollie heel in lock aswell on stairs. It was pretty impressive to see a girl skating hard back then!

10 years later, she still the same, humble, quiet, doesn’t care of anything and keep impressing the dudes around.

What is a typical day for Lisa?

Waking up early, playing violon, going to school, back home, doing my homework, reading some books or going out a bit…On the week. Weekends, if it’s not raining, i try to skate!

The best spots in Paris, for you?

I don’t know, nothing passionate me. I’m used to it, i guess.

Paris is not really convenient for street skating during the winter, what is your plan b?

Do something else.

Long backside Five O to Fakie, Barcelona

Roadtrips “girls only”, or with boys?

It depends who are the girl and boys héhé. I’d say both, but if it’s Claire(Alleaume), Sabrina(Gôggel), Didi(Diana Kraensel), Anna(Kruse), Sam(Bruce)and Helena(Long), it’s the best! Going with Ludo cool too, cause we get along good

I really loved your video part in the last Nozbone video “Rendez vous”, but i thought it was also kind of short. I know you are really productive, what’s going on? is it hard to find a filmer and photographer in Paris?

3min33sec! i think it’s pretty long for me! Ahaha Ludo would laugh at these words « really productive ».. we don’t skate together enough!

Why Tom Waits is the man?

His rough voice on his songs! Just listening to « Alice » or « Dirt in the ground »…

Crooked, Barcelona

Give me 5 of your heroes, skaters or not.

Jacques Brel, Fabrice Luchini, Heath Kirchart, Gustave Flaubert and Jean Racine and many more…

The best girlskater of the planet?

Sarah Meurle of course !

You just come back of a lil’ roadtrip with Ludovic in Barcelona, and came back with a mini web part. Why Spain is so productive ?

Not really true, the half of the part is in Berlin, and we’ve been two times in Barcelona and it wasn’t that productive everytime. Let’s say it could be better, but it’s hard to wake up early when you are living in a place where people live at night (casual spanish life)..and it’s getting dark at 5pm, and we’ve past more time  looking for spots than skating  (and then Ludo would say i spent hours to land a single trick too ahaha)..that wasn’t easy! I know i’m complaining but we were outside everyday on sunny days, and in winter it’s  gold! Honestly it was fun thought.

Boneless dropin’ just for the fun, Barcelona

Where do you wish to skate?

Wich ever spot i could skate.

Kickflip drop in, Barcelona

Any projects for 2011?

Don’t give up that shitty school.. finish my thesis, well i’ll need to start it first.. playing « Vocalise de Rachmaninov » at the next violon’s audition and don’t screw it too much.. Meet people, see friends, stop being naive, stop poscratinate and win against Ludo on poser games! And this summer i ‘d like to travel again, i think Sabrina’s got some ideas about it, we’ll see. That’s it.
