XSK8.de: You're also going to the cinema and rock concerts and stuff like that? Eito Yasutoko: Sorry?
XSK8.de: What other things do you do in your spare time? Do you go to music concerts or do you have any other hobby? Takeshi Yasutoko: Yeah, we have a hobby. I'm going to live music and go to Karaoke with my friends. Do you know Karaoke? It's good, yeah! This is my hobby.
XSK8.de: And you? Eito Yasutoko: Hehe, I just relax ... When I'm not skating, I drive my bike, I have a bike license.
XSK8.de: A motorbike? Eito Yasutoko: It's just a normal bike. But motorbike, too. So I'm driving .... I always go shopping and to the movies ... I like movies, so I always go to the movie theatre with my girlfriend, and sometimes we cook. Yeah, I always enjoy life.
XSK8.de: What is your favourite film now? Eito Yasutoko: Hmmm .... (thinking) ... I'm interested in Oceans 11 und 12, because they have very special angles for the camera, so it's very funny. It's good. Sometimes I do video editing, I make movies myself. I'm interested in edition and editors.
XSK8.de: How do you like Germany? Have you seen something of the rest of the country, beside the skate ramps? Do you have time to meet german people? Eito Yasutoko: We came here at night two days ago, so we didn't have time for sightseeing yet, but I want to go after the competitions. Near my hotel they have a shopping mall, so I want to go there.
XSK8.de: Any more message to our skaters in Europe, to the kids that start skating and say, "Oh, I like the Yasutoko brothers and I want to become like them", what should they do? (Eito tries to answer, but then they both start laughing) Eito Yasutoko: ... Sorry. I just can say, keep going for skating training. Takeshi and me, we were always doing practise in our own skatepark in Japan. Of course I know it's hard to find a halfpipe in a skatepark, but if you want to be pro skater in the halfpipe, you need to practise more. It's hard, but we needed to practise a lot, too. So I can say, just keep going!
XSK8.de: Okay. One final question, do you also do like street skating on a curb or on rails or something? Takeshi Yasutoko: I did street skating, that's good, I got good experience and I like it, yeah.
XSK8.de: Nice to meet you! I hope you come back another time to Germany soon!
