WBW Spotlight: Hahahafiz
He spins, he skates, he guitars , he sings, he got his own style and hell!! he even got his own T-shirt label!!
He's Hahahafiz aka Mr Terrorkota!! He's the true Malay Champion!!! (Sorry Jup!!)
WBW finally got hold of him and asks him whats keeping him busy and Terrorkota lately.. and we spin some hard bruce lee ass questions to grill him.. DJ hit it!!!!
---
WBW: What up Hafiz, you're on WBW's interview spotlight mini segment. What have you been up to lately?
Hafiz: Hey man, thanks for having me. I've been busy trying to put out the tee designs, taking photos, scratching (kinda have a new project in place but we'll wait for that one) and also trying my hardest to find time to skate.
WBW: Yeah!! We miss you skating with us!! So tell us how did Terrorkota start?
Hafiz: I know dude! I totally miss skating with my homies man..
Well, basically i just wanted an outlet where i can put together the things i loved doing! Namely scratching, shooting and skateboarding man. So after a while, i just conceptualised terrorkota as something for all of us to be proud of, no matter where you're from and who you represent, you know what i mean?
So at the end of the day, i'm just glad i was able to do all that like a year plus ago, and now, even though National Service is taking up most of my time, i will still find time to do all that cos it makes me happy.
WBW: Wow! Thats nice of terrorkota.. 'Skate not Hate'!!! So tell us abit about the Terrorkota Riders... Why them?
Hafiz: Yeah man, all love bro! Hmm... the skateboarding team guys were kinda handpicked cos they represented a certain style of skateboarding that I, personally saw as something unique for me, they all have that certain 'soul' that you know, kinda makes them look good on a skateboard.
And especially when they skate like 100 times better than i ever will, man, im kinda like their secret fan BUT at the end of the day, all i wanted was to bring a bunch of guys, who truly loved skateboarding together, and hopefully use terrorkota as a platform for them to achieve bigger things in skateboarding in their near future.
WBW: Yeah!!! WBW loves your riders!! Especially Farid and Syed!! Both sick ass buttery skaters with tricks and style!!
Hafiz: Hahahaha, Yeahhhh... and plus, all of them are really nice.. they dig WBW too man! thats how sick it is...
WBW: So tell us what is a typical weekend for Mr Terrorkota?
Hafiz: Hahahah! I'm just hafiz bro, and you know me.. erm.. Since i have work every single day, 8-5 in the army, the weekend is where i try to do the most of my stuff. Sometimes i try to skate on the fridays (with you guys!), not lately though cos I've been scratching alot and i had a minor sprain while skating flatground by myself few weeks back.
If i don't skate, i head down to blu jaz, get some good music from some friends who play there regularly.. then head down to the studio for a good scratch session.. Sundays are days for family, friends and shooting.
Friends and family man.. they're important. I just feel sometimes i don't have the time to give them all the attention i could possibly want but i try my best.
WBW: Nice!!! Allrite. Name us 3 homeboys that you love skating with?
Hafiz: the OG homeboys from go sports would have to be RAYNIE DAWG (cos he cracks dumb stuffs that makes people laugh till they get stitches man), PI'EH DAWG (cos i skated with him everyday for 6 months after our O levels) and this is a tie, SOP and JAI...(cos i knew them since forever dude..) so thats like 4 but yeah sop and jai comes in a pair for me. Hahaha. Oh wait, i have to tie Raynie with Ahmed man! So yeah Raynie and Ahmed comes as a pair. Hahahaha... Sorry man, i love my homies.
WBW: Ok. Now, Kickfliping Forum or Getting laid?
Hafiz: Kickflipping forum dude. I wish i could though.
WBW: Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera?
Hafiz: Genie in a tight red leather costume bro. Aguilera in her 'come on over' video, red and blonde streaks, im all about home pride! hahahah
WBW: I Would have chosen Britney man. Anyways, have you seen WBW Video part of the year? Who do you think is gona win and who you gonna vote for?
Hafiz: Yeahhhhh, been watching all those videos lately.. its crazy how everyone gotten so good and i havent skated in ages man.. my vote? a secret bro... few of them are killing it definitely.. ming's was crazy, sop's was butter, juffrie's was a show of how practice makes you better. It'll be hard to choose..
(Maybe Mr Terrorkota hasn't been logging in WBW too often to know that Jup's'part is not inside.. but its ok we still love him!!)
Hafiz: Everyone's so good now bro.
WBW: Jup's not inside man!! Hes still an "AM"!!
Hafiz: Oh he's not? damnnnnn... If Raynie's dance was a part, i would pick him.
(Ok.. its obvious that Mr Terrorkota hasnt been loggin in at ALL to vote!!! But.. We forgive him again!!)
Hafiz: Hahahahhaha okok. I'd still go with 'raynie's dance'.
WBW: Yeaah!!!!!!!
Hafiz: Raynie should compile all his dance moves together ,the moonwalk, the credit card dance and everything man. hahahhaha
WBW: Haha! You know that you are nominated for the Style of the year award? Many peeps complimented the way you blend your skating gear. Tell us how you get noticed man? You must have get laid alot!
Hafiz: Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you serious??
WBW: Yeah!
Hafiz: That's crazy mannn.. hmm.. comfortable stuff man.. Wow, it's still crazy but yeah i try to make sure what i wear is just comfortable during skatboarding man.. colours should stay simple if you wanna match! Hahaha, no big secret yo.. Pham's gonna grab that one for sure! He's definitely in it too right?
WBW: Yeahh... its gonna be a tight fight between Singapore's A listers skaters!!! Allrite.. last question. WBW skater of the year. Juffrie Champion, King Ming, Sopipoo, Terence or Qi an. Whose your pick?
Hafiz: Hahahah.. A listers skaters?? Crazy man.. wowwww.. ur making it hard man! Qi an has been good since he came back from korea man.. but the last i skated with ming, he's been doing crazy shit too yo.. hmm.. hard fight yo! i'll secretly decide later then vote, then we'll see who wins man. Hahahah!
WBW: Hahaha... ok! we thank you for your time. Hope to see you more on weekends!! Any last words?
Hafiz: Definitely will man. Thank you to everyone who's been a part of my life, everyone's an inspiration no matter what. Thanks wbw for having me! Keep on skateboarding till there's no tomorrrooowwwww....

WBW Spotlight: Jazzy Jai
WBW: Jazzy Jai!! You represent the new school and the old of Go Sports. Thus we were wondering what is your take on the old school and the new school?
JazzyJai: uh, new school's more progressive skating than old school.
old school's more bout sense of belonging.. fun skating!
WBW: In any sense and why not name us 3 of your homeboys from WBW that you would txt to skate?
JazzyJai: Hafiz.. (watched him grow), eusoff.. (nice dude, hopefully becomes my cousin in-law) and raynie.... can't think of anything bout him.. itchy balls? done... 3 dudes
WBW: We understand you re getting married and WBW is looking forward to the big day. Is there any thoughts of quit skating?
JazzyJai: It's been bugging me for a while.. on and off thingy but can't seem to brush it off of my system.. addicted to skating.. love the sport, the culture too much!
i'll be serious married man but still have fun skating once a while.
WBW: We heard you kickflipped onto a ping pong table years ago..and we at WBW knows you got one of the best pops around! But after all these years of skating, what is your personal expectations or beliefs when you step on a board? now and then?
JazzyJai: Never changed still... just enjoy the skating session. don't push beyond your own limit. if you can land the flip up the table, good for you. Personal achievement attained... but if you can't, it's okay.. just laugh it off with the 3 dudes you sk8ed with.
maybe i'll try the flip up the table again, the table still there right?
WBW: Yea but i think a couple of pigeons made love there and left some dirty stains.But if you could land a trick b4 you quit.what are you gona pull off?
JazzyJai: ..always a dream... i'll end my skating life with a hydrant ollie with photos and all... i want to show it to my kid.
WBW: Speaking of family and things that are not necessarily associated with just skating, where do you find inspiration in other aspects of your life. It's easy to assume that you just skate and you hold, but are you involved or interested in anything else with the same passion? And do those things ever enter into your profession or push it forward. ?
JazzyJai: Skating came into my life when i was pretty serious bout music. the sense of belonging that i had with the go sports guys back then was so great that i quit my guitar lessons at yamaha.. i had more fun skating with them guys than playing guitar alone.. still, music will always be great passion of mine.. be it playing a guitar or just listening to music.. thanks to my dad for the influence.but soon, raising my own family will be another passion of mine... can't wait for that too
WBW: Its good to know that our Jazzy Jai is Family man!!!You ve been skating for more than a decade, and you ve probably seen it all.. among all which local skater is worth a mention?
JazzyJai: taufik ang mo kio, switch hardflip down 6 back in '97.. no one can beat that!
WBW: We 're curious...back in '97 in go sports.. theres no flat bars and fun boxes what do you guys skate and where?
JazzyJai: street skating... concrete jungle.. curbs, stairs, benches.. across the road.. perfect skating spot for hours of fun and no one can stop you or nag at you..
WBW: Thats raw skating...ok! now choose one.. playing Sweet Child O Mine solo in front of 100 thousands people or Heelflippin down forum?
JazzyJai: i rather heelflip down forum... unless it's a Smashing Pumpkins song..
WBW: Nike Sb classics or Lakai selects?
JazzyJai: that's tough man... err... sb classics... sorry howard
WBW: Alright last question for you family man, Before you embark to becoming world's no.1 dad and smashing pumpkins fan.. what are you going to do to remember your singlehood and the once carefree moments with your board?
JazzyJai: i'll buy another board... keep at home.. remember the days of sk8boarding with the guys at go sports... howard, girl og board.
WBW: Thanks. Congrats on ur wedding again and all the best!
