Early life
Timotej’s skateboarding story started in summer 2004, when his dad bought him his first skateboard as a gift for the end of a successful school year.
Since then, he has spent every single day on his skateboard. Nothing could ever be so important it would make him miss a session without his board. At first his parents didn’t really supported him, because they thought skateboarding was just one of the sports Timotej has already tried in the past, just a short-term distraction, which was only going to last for a year or two. But after he started winning junior competitions, they started providing their full support. Timotej says he is super grateful for everything his parents have given up because of his dreams, especially his dad who was driving him all around the Europe just for a competition
In 2009 Timotej started traveling all over the World for the biggest skateboarding competitions. He started participating in World Cup and other big skateboarding events world-wide. Now he is filming big skate commercials, skateboard movies, World Cup events and also working on many other projects which enable him to live his dreams and to do what he loves the most – SKATEBOARDING
