Andreas Schützenberger is a world-renowned ramp builder. A conversation about birch plywood, skateboarding in Afghanistan, exploitation in Russia – and the spirit of the Olympic Park.
A sunny Wednesday afternoon in the Olympic Park, white-blue sky, Andreas Schützenberger and his team have almost finished the skateboard and BMX facility for the Mash weekend at the lake. The last coat of paint is just being done. “We’re done at 7 p.m., just in time,” says the man from Passau – before the action athletes choose their champions there at the weekend. Time for a conversation about bowls, crazy Spaniards, rockets in the garden – and freedom.
