For Anton ❤️
I first met Anton in 2020 via a Zoom Party I hosted with my project
@longboarddancing.world back in COVID Times to help keep everyone in touch during this strange time in our history. I noticed right away how keen he was to get people engaged and interacting with each other, as he had some type of strange Google Earth game ready to go, that involved many laughs in the group, and likely, one too many shots 🥃
I also had the privelege of having Anton as one of my students at the
@longboardsummeracademy in 2022 - at this time - he was already quite advanced, and to be perfectly honest, there wasn’t much to teach him at this point in his skating career. But he just adored traveling and being around skating and people that shared this passion. 🛹
Beyond that, I’ve seen Anton at countless skate parties, skate competitions, and skate world championships, and his company was always most welcomed.
In 2024, I was fortunate enough to also spend significant time with Anton in Brazil to witness the marriage of our beautiful friends
@isabellacrm &
@marianatavitian in their beautiful home country. As expected, he brought so much love, light and laughter to us while we were there, and these are memories with him I’ll hold forever.
Anton, I haven’t skated in months my dude, but this one - it’s for you up there. 🥀
