2012: Mathias Silhan

Hey Mathias, how you’re doing these days? How does your normal day look like?
Hey Jojo it’s all good just got back from Prague where I spend my end of 2012!

I don’t really have a normal day but generally I try to wake up around 9am, if I’m not on hangover, I drink a coffee, check my mails… then I head up to my office, where I check some more mails and make some calls till noon. Go for a lunch with some friends, and try to go back to my office between 2pm and 5pm, depend on the day’s plan. After that I usually meet up with some dudes and go skate somewhere! and we often finish in some bar, trying to not be too thirsty to get a chance to achieve some work the day after!

Hows Strasbourg in the wintertime?
It’s pretty hard! we got a very cold weather so it’s difficult to skate outside or hang out. So what ever we do we have to do it indoor!
