Kirk Svensson.

Kirkulees. A name you most likely have heard of. He is one of the few Chicagoland riders that can really call his style street influenced. I met Kirk for the first time a few weeks ago at the Pitch Bikepark scooter competition. He managed to place first in intermediate with some great riding. Keep your eye out for him as the summer goes on, I believe he will soon be a big name within the midwest scene.

I had a few words with Kirk, you can view them below.

How long have you been riding and how did you start?

umm, ive been riding for a bit under 2 years? im not to sure,

i broke my arm skateboarding one year, and one day just picked up a scooter after it heald up and idk, just been riding ever since

haha

Did you used to, or do you currently look up to any riders? Anyone that inspires you or pumps you up to go even bigger?

oooooo best rider ever is Georgie Louis! his style is justt soooooo amazing

and otehr than that Matt mckeen

and dodorian robison

As anyone from the midwest knows, your riding consists of 99% street. I guess that explains your choice of inspirations. However I've noticed you've started riding more and more park. Are you starting to change up your riding style, moving away from the street style a bit?

hahaha, nah i mean i always on the weekdays go to a park when i can and i mean i just decided to like sesh up the spine and just came out with some new tricks hahaha, in the summer its about to be 24/7 street ahhaha

Good to hear, I think our sport will continue to look more legit the more street riders we have.

I think that about wraps it up, thank you for your words Kirk, is there anything else you'd like to say?

yup street=the gravy on the steak.

:)

Kirk recently put out a video of his park riding, were you can view him shredding a spine (a very rare sight). Posted below is the video for your viewing pleasure.
