About Alin Marian alias Terente, alias the cutest boy in the skate park, he says you can take him off #Urzeala Team, but you can’t take #urzeala from him. Being recognized for the metaphors of Moldavian origin, these words neither scare us, nor scandalize us. But make us love him even more.
Alin is a handsome boy, courteous, experienced skater, talented poet and reliable warper. His skate board left its mark in Moldavia and his original style which combines creativity with technique left in awe all the areas in the country.
Why does he warp? There is a question to which Pufosul has answered in no time. “I warp because I have always loved my country and its traditions and now that I am part of Urzeala team I can spread better and more usefully these values. My wish is we could keep them and enjoy them all, regardless of age or life principles. Urzeala, i.e. the values and models of traditional inspiration brought to the contemporary urban environment, seemed to be from the beginning a very suitable and useful concept especially for my generation.
On one hand you grow and give the proper respect to traditions and implicitly to our grandparents, and on the other hand you represent your country and traditions in an urban form that completely suits you. Skater, biker, roller, parkourer, dancer or singer, artist or any other kind of passion you have can be expressed by showing the due respect for those before us.
I see that some of the youngest, of the newer generations, to say, want to get rid of the idea of traditions or consider Romanian folklore common or not cool enough. I think that, on the contrary, a tradition represents you when you make it public and it helps you to define a certain character. And makes you stronger in front of those who are ashamed of their country. No matter what happens at economical or political level, Romania is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and if someone assigns the time to know and understand us the Romanians will see that we have our soul always open, we are very welcoming and wish all the best.
So no matter what, I go forward and warp #usefully! How do you warp?”
