Karina Velichko

Karina Velichko from Khabarovsk, she is 18 years old, and on snowboarding she has been riding for 4 seasons, while jumping from 19 and loves to jesit.

Karina, hello! If I understand correctly, you are on the board from the age of 13, who put you on a snowboard?

- I set myself), I used to be a skier (well, there is slalom, all this kind), then this monotony got me and I decided to stand on the board)

Can you remember how it all started? Your first day of skiing?

- Well, the first day I have a lie, I remember, but I remember exactly what I started with the fact that I took the board at the box office and went to ride on an almost gentlypical town)))

What do you like to jeop or jump more?

- Recently, I like to jibs more, apparently, because it turns out better than jumping) I also like to jump, but I jump only with a good mood, otherwise I will be bad then)))

Maybe you remember what your first trick was?

- Perhaps indie with some little kikerochka))))

How do you feel about the soriki? Do I need to take part in the Concets? Are you worried about your attempt?

- I have a positive attitude, I think that you need to take part, but how without concentrations? After all, this is fun and at the same time you lay out and sometimes show what you have not done before))) and you can also get bonuses)))
Yes, excitement happens, but after the 1st attempt it always evaporates somewhere)))

What do you think is the most interfering with progress? Fear?

- Yes, I think he is the most, forever interferes with something to decide, and the fear is not about that you will break, but simply ... I don’t even know how to explain)))

How do you fight with fear?

- I am crossing the music louder)))

Were there injuries?

- there were, the knee was cut, and this season the problem with the spine, I recover while there is time))

Your favorite figure?

- I don’t know, I am interested everywhere, in every figure its advantages)))

Who do you like to ride with guys or girls more with?

- with the guys))) because there are very few girls, and the guys always show a good level and you look, try to repeat, or maybe even do better than them))

Can you remember some funny situation from the gurney?

- It's funny when I made BS 2 times in a row from the kiker, and landed on my head)))

Is it hard to combine a gurney with study?

- It's hard, but I have Pasha, so I have time everywhere)))

What do you do in the summer?

- I close the session. In general, I ride aggressions, but now it’s hard from behind, so I ride a bike and go to the gym, walk, rest))

Do you like traveling? Where would I want to go?

- I love when there is money, I would like to ride with the Japanese. And in Park City I want)))

If not for a snowboard, then what?

- would remain a normal person))

What did she like to do in childhood? Maybe I went to ballroom dancing or to a circle?

- It was there that I went there, but at 5 years old they gave me to the mountain skis and I am very happy about it)))

Which of the foreign riders inspires you? Whose style you like the most?

- I do not highlight anyone, many people like it)))

Your beloved animal?

- Dog

Your favorite snowboard-video? Watching them?

- I don’t look often, really. Like IsensEven-Losts Go Get Lost

What are you doing if the trick doesn’t work out?

- I force myself to do it until it succeeds, if there is no mood, then I do another))

Your 5 favorite tracks for a gurney?

- There are no such)) I often update music, but basically it is a rapper.

The most crazy thing you have ever done?

- jumped in China with 19h.

Is there anything you are proud of?

- I am proud of what I do and not only in skating.

And last advice for girls who are just going to stand on the board.

- Do not listen to your male friends who say that you will never come out.
