A short brief about Blackout Skateboards And Pitbox Distribution -
Blackout skateboards is a skate company by my friend, Martin Hagaeus, and I. It started outmore or less as a funny thing not meant to be to serious and still isn't. At the same time our friends in Malmo started Semester skateboards and the Stockholm guys had their Washed Up skateboards which they have been running for a couple of years, now. We were using the same manufacturer so we thought why not join and do something together. That's Distribution started. We use Pitbox to promote all our skate brands. We are also the Swedish distributor for Juice Magazine, one of the only real skateboard magazines worth reading at all.

Feelings about the new concrete parks in Sweden -
It's really good. I don't know what took them so long? And it seems that every city is going tobuild a concrete park now. Hope they build stuff like snake runs and pools and don't turn all those millions of taxpayer money into only banks and curbs. There has to be a good mix of stuff to ride.
Future plans -
Keep on working with Pitbox, Blackout skateboards and my work at Simbin, doing PC games.My wife and I also started a screen printing company called Squeegee.If you need any T-shirts printed let us know.
Final words-
Pitbox Rules!
