“For this episode I sat down with smooth rolling Sietse Van Berkel from Holland.
He has been in the game for 20 years and slowly but surely cemented his place among the elite with a win at Master of Creativity in 2018 and now being invited in events such as RedBull Circle of Balance and the Japan X Games. Lots of insights into his philosophy and vision for our artform.
PS – due to some unfortunate technical issues, the sound might be low at times, I recommend you use headphones for listening to this episode.”
