上个礼拜三，Fly streetwear 举办了Droshky的video首映，同时，另外两家滑板店铺，深圳1985和北京燃烧冰滑板店在同一时间举行了首映活动，对于不知道这家已经在中国发 展了5年的滑板品牌Droshky的朋友，我们专门采访了这个品牌的老板，也是创始人，乐德亮。让他来告诉我们一些品牌背后的故事，还有他们的产品和他们 对中国滑板市场的想法。

——

 

请问您的全名是（英文和中文）？您来自哪个城市？以及您和Droshky的关系.

我的英文名是Niklas Vesely。中文名是乐德亮。我来自德国乌尔姆，一座有着德国最好的室内板场之一的小城市。我从16岁开始就在板场工作。我无法想象做一份平常的工作。并且我的脑袋全是关于滑板的事情，所以在我19岁那年，我成立了Droshky.

What is your full name (english and chinese), city you are from, and relationship with Droshky?

My name is Niklas Vesely, that means  乐德亮  in Chinese. I am from Ulm, Germany. A small city with one of Germany’s best indoor skateparks. I worked at that skate park since I was 16. I couldn’t imagine getting a real job and my head was all about *skatebording*, so at 19, I founded Droshky.

 

在过去的5年中，在国外以及中国您和中国都有过哪些渊源呢？

在我大学时期，我本应该去做一份实习工作的。当时我对滑板和中国最感兴趣。在网上搜索之后，我发现BSS分布将会成为中国最有意义的分布。我给Luke打了个电话。几个月后在深圳，我和他吃着饺子，并想着如何开一家世界上最棒的滑板公司。中国很快便成为了我最喜爱的城市。到目前为止，我已经在中国生活了3年，我也觉得中国是我的第二故乡。

How have you been involved with China in the past 5 years, either in China or abroad?

When I was at university I was supposed to go on an internship. I was most interested to learn about skateboarding and China. After some online-research I came to the conclusion that BSS Distribution will grow to be China’s most meaningful distribution. I gave Luke a call and just a few months later I was in Shenzhen, we ate Chinese dumplings and dreamed together on how to build the world’s most awesome skateboard company. China quickly developed to be my favorite country. By now I have lived in China for three years and I feel like China is my second home.

Droshky是什么意思呢？请描述一下Droshky是怎么来的呢？

我曾经走进一家滑板店，寻找一块五光十色的板面，看着像是和朋友一起在晴天去玩滑板的板。滑手们是比较杰出的，他们自由，充满着活力。他们知道在成了一个招后躺在温暖的路上的感觉，这感觉是温暖的阳光，朋友的欢呼以及自由——这就是Droshky所要表达的。

What does Droshky mean? Describe how Droshky came about?

I used to walk in skate shops looking for a bright and colorful deck that looked like what I felt when going skateboarding with friends on a sunny day. Skateboarders stand out. They are alive and free. They know the feeling of lying on a warm road after having landed an awesome trick – this feeling of the warm sunshine, the friends cheering, the freedom – this is what I want to express with Droshky!

 

Droshky团队是一支对旅行，滑板以及享乐志同道合的团队，您是如何选择的这支团队的呢？以及是什么在背后推动着你们各地旅行的呢？

Emu，Tobi，AnhJyn，Cyril，还有我是通过性格来选择滑手的。我们偏好脚踏实地的，开朗的，受每个人欢迎的滑手。我们希望传播滑板的爱，所以我们寻找那些能在一场好的活动后，坐在炽热的道路上，和我们分享他们的故事直至夜幕降临的滑手。能遇到尽可能的多的新的朋友是推动我们旅行的背后的动力。滑板使得滑手们更加亲近，并且在一天的玩滑板之后，我们已经像一家人了。当我们外出喝酒或是参加派对时，我们真正地体验了当地人的生活——我们对世界有如此多的感受！当我们一回到家，就开始为下一次旅行积蓄。

It seems that the Droshky team is all like-minded in terms of traveling, skating and having fun, how did you choose this team, and what is the push behind traveling everywhere?

Emu, Tobi, AnhJyn, Cyril, and I choose new riders by their characters. We prefer down to earth and open minded skaters who make everyone feel welcome. We want to spread the love for skateboarding, so we look for skaters who sit down on the hot pavement after a good session and share their stories until the night breaks in. The push behind travelling is actually for us to meet as many new friends as possible. Skateboarding bonds skaters together and after one day of skateboarding together we already feel like a family. When we head out for some drinks and a party we really experience the local life – we learn so much about the world! We start saving for the next trip as soon as we get home.

 

您对中国的滑板市场有什么看法呢？请分别说一下优缺点。

中国的滑板市场非常的家庭化并且回报颇丰。一方面，中国是世界上最大的滑手输出国，因此有许多的滑板商业。另一方面，滑板市场在中国是如此的年轻以至于中国只有非常少的职业滑手。这使得中国的职业滑手很能赚钱。在欧美则是相反：这里只有少量的盈利的滑板商业，却有着大量的专业滑者。在美国，你能看到用feeble-grind下20级台阶扶手的滑手，却找不到一个赞助。这在中国不常见。我认为中国的滑手十分幸运有着他们的滑板商机，风和日丽的天气以及世界上最好的大理石滑板场。

What is your opinion on the skate scene in China? What are some pluses and minuses?

The skate scene in China is very family-like and extremely well paid. On the one hand China is the world’s supplier of skateboards and therefor has a lot of skateboard businesses. On the other hand, the skateboard scene in China is so young that China only has few pro-level skateboarders. This makes Chinese pro-level skateboarders very lucrative. In Europe and USA it’s the opposite: There are only few very profitable skateboard businesses tons and tons of skateboarders. In USA you can see guys feeble-grinding 20 stair handrails but they can’t find a paying sponsor – this isn’t yet the case in China. I guess Chinese skaters are very lucky with their skateboard industry, plus of course  the awesome weather, and the world’s best marble skate spots.

 

你们赞助中国的滑手吗？

我们十分愿意！但是语言障碍使得我们很难和中国的职业滑手们深入地谈论他们的生活。没有这个谈论，我们很难找到合适的滑手。但是今年我们计划挑选一些中国的滑手，因为我们想支持中国的滑板市场。

Do you guys sponsor Chinese skaters?

We’d love to! But the language barrier makes it hard to have deep conversations about life with Chinese pro-level skaters. Without that conversation its hard for us to find the right skater. But this year we plan to pick up a few Chinese riders, as we want to support the chinese skateboard scene!

1985 Skateshop 首映

如果您能在中国看招，您会想在哪里，看什么样的招式呢？

一个滑板视频，在一个炎热明亮的日子，中国的滑手们快速地穿梭在靠近给人印象极深的庙宇的城市的古城区！也许一个滑手还会在途中弄翻卖鱼小贩的家畜。这是我想看的！大喊：要是谁能寄给我（Nik@droshky.eu）我所描述的视频，我一定会给他出版并且推广。

If you could see any trick go down in China, what trick and what spot?

A skateboard video on a hot and bright day, Chinese skateboarders push really fast through ancient parts of a city, next to mind blowing temples! Maybe one skater gaps a fish-vendor’s stock on the way. This is what I would love to see go down! Shout out: Who ever sends me (Nik@droshky.eu) the video I just described – I will definitely push and promote it!

 

当谈及滑板的技术时，所有的决定都是您做的吗？是什么促使您不停地改变，以及寻找新的创新呢？

Luke，David和我一起做的决定。我想让滑板更硬，更轻，但更流行。David想让滑板看上去酷和有好质量。Luke则想让滑手能够买得起滑板。所以我们坐下来一起商量寻找能做到这一点的方法。

Do you make all the decisions when it comes to switching up your deck technology? What motivates you to keep changing it up and finding new innovations?

It’s Luke, David and I together. I want stiffer and lighter decks with higher pop. David wants a cool look and quality. Luke wants skaters to be able to afford the deck. So we sit down together and find a way on how to do it!  

 

Burning Ice 首映

 

这部影片拍摄了多长时间呢？这段时间里团队有发生一些好玩的故事吗？

团 队只有大约两周时间来拍摄，所以Emu每天早上很在就醒来，并叫醒剩下的成员。Tobi虽然起的最晚，却是最早做出棒的招式来拍摄。整个团队很享受在 BSS分布生活以及和中国的当地的滑手滑板的时间。这次我们关注在做一个不错的影片——下一次我们想为当地的滑手组织一次滑板活动和派对。

How long did the filming take for this video? Any good stories with the team from your time here?

The team only had about two weeks to film, so Emu got up early every morning and woke up the rest of the team. Tobi was the last to get up but the first to land an awesome trick on cam. The team had a really good time living at BSS Distribution and skateboarding with the Chinese locals. This time we focused on making a great video – next time we want to organize skate-events and parties for the local skaters!

接下来的5年里我们对Droshky能有怎样的期待呢？

请你们期待我们将会为中国当地的滑手们组织一场最据规格的，最棒的滑板派对! 非常感谢你们的采访。下周我将会回深圳。致所有的中国滑手：想一起玩滑板的你们，请在下午6点左右到深圳的BSS Distribution我和Mario也将会参与。

What can we expect from Droshky in China in the next 5 years?

You can expect us to throw the biggest and most awesome skateboard parties for Chinese local skaters!  - Thanks so much for this nice interview! I will be back in Shenzhen next week. To all Chinese skaters: Whoever wants to go skateboarding together just drop by the Shenzhen BSS Distribution at around 6PM. Mario and I will join in!
