It's the first day of the week, so here's a Firsts with Grilo all up in yo' grill, yo! See what I did there? I know, I know, I'll shut up now... Read on more to find out about this Slovenian ripper's blasts from the past.
When did you FIRST strap in to your shred stick?
It was 20 years ago now. I first started skating and then snowboarding just followed. I can’t believe it was such a long time ago, makes me sound mega old. Haha.
What was the FIRST snowboard VHS/DVD you ever watched?
It was Simple Pleasures by Mack Dawg. I still have the VHS tape. I need to buy a VCR now just so I can re-watch it but I’m not sure if the tape might be a bit burned out from the 1,000+ times I watched it.
What was the FIRST big competition you won and how did it feel?
Well, I won some stuff back in Slovenia when I was really young but I think my first medal at the Junior Worlds in Griendelwald, Switzerland was my first big one. I was only 14 and I thought it was just unreal. I got on Burton the same year. You also came FIRST in the Air & Style, how was that?
That was just insane. I just rode and had fun. Riding in Innsbruck in front of that crowd is just so special. It's unlike any other event in snowboarding. I will always remember that day, like it was yesterday.
Hahahaha, I didn't know I was. Am I?Which film and whose part are you most looking forward to this year? I’m going to have to say Burton's film Standing Sideways. I am also looking forward to seeing everyone’s part in this movie. BAUS!
