---

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?
