The world’s most famous Latvian skateboarder, hell maybe even the world’s most famous Latvian, Madars Apse has been surgically attached to his skateboard for a decade.
Since 2001, he has travelled the world with his smooth style, his guitar and a shock of blonde hair, enjoying considerable competitive success — including coming second place in the first ever Vans Downtown Countdown event in 2009.
Now based in the street skating haven of Barcelona, Apse still makes heads turn whenever he skates, and has set about becoming a mentor to a new generation. And, with the release of his new web series It’s A Mad World, he’s just set to get even bigger.
