Longboard Rider Anna Pixner answered your questions.
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Could you briefly introduce yourself to us? Where were you born and what are you doing as a profession?
\n<\/span>Anna: <\/strong>My Name is Anna Pixner, I was born in Innsbruck\/Austria. Next to skating, I studied Educational Sciences and Gender, Culture and Social Change. As a profession I skate, but also take the time to work in jobs that contribute in a good way to our society. At the moment I work as a coach for children in a climbing center, helping them finding a tool to cope with stress at school.<\/p>\n

What influenced you to start longboard sport?
\n<\/strong>Anna: <\/strong>I started downhill skateboarding, because I was always drawn to skateboarding. Since I used to be really shy, and afraid to practice at a skatepark, I started to skate down the hills in my neighborhood. I didn't really know that sport existed that time, I kind of just started rolling down hills and really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

\"\"What advice do you have for newcomers to longboarding?<\/strong>
\nAnna: <\/strong>For someone starting new, my advice would be to focus just on having fun, and try to forget about what other people might think. In the beginning everyone looks a bit weird practicing downhill skating, but who cares?<\/p>\n

What are your favorite longboard spots to skate?
\n<\/strong>Anna: <\/strong>My favorite spots are really steep roads with hairpins. I would say the best ones I know are in Portugal, that's my favorite country to skate.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite Longboard move?
\n<\/strong>Anna: <\/strong>I guess toeside standup slides are my favorites. I just love the challenge of balancing out slides without hands, and toeside has always been my favorite side.<\/p>\n

Which Longboard move was the most challenging for you?<\/strong>
\nAnna: <\/strong>Probably my favorite one, the toeside standup, was also the most difficult to learn. But once you got it, it feels so good!<\/p>\n

What other sports do you do besides longboarding?
\nAnna:<\/strong>I love doing all kinds of activities in nature. I always spent a lot of time on mountains, skiing, snowboarding, climbing or slacklining. Since I moved to the ocean, I got really into surfing as well. It's hard to think of a sport that I don't like actually...<\/p>\n

What is the biggest longboard project that you have ever dreamed of?
\n<\/strong>Anna: <\/strong>The biggest project that I dreamed of was always traveling to all continents in the world through skating. I always dreamed of discovering different cultures and landscapes by board, and now I can be extremely glad to say that I have been making that dream become reality for a couple of years already.<\/p>\n

To sum it up, what would you like to say to Turk Longboard members about Longboarding?
\n<\/strong>Anna: <\/strong>My message to the Turkish community would be to keep believing in the sport, even if you feel like you are the only one in your country. I was one of the first to start in my area, and always went to skate by myself. But now here I am, skating all around the world with the best riders out there. You can make everything happen, if you're really passionate about what you\u2019re doing!<\/p>\n
