Amir admits to being a late bloomer with skating, only picking up a board at 17 years. He saw many of his friends on their way to jail, or ‘pram land’ and decided that was not for him. So he grabbed a deck, found a car park and the rest is history. However what he missed then, he has certainly made up for now with style and determination.

Amir admits to being a competition monster and being one of the old headz in Brighton has given him lots of experience here. He won the Level Skate Jam 4 years ago before it shut shop, and then in 2007 when the event relaunched with an air of expectation, he came back and stomped another win.

Avalaan looks forward to chillin with Amir’s lazy style, word…
