what is your name,where you come from and in which crew you paint for?

DRIK: My alter ego is Drik. I come from all over germany and my familyname is rockaholiks.

SLIDE: My Name is Slider, representing IAC-Bandits (Dresden) Macia/322 (France) and TST (Dresden/Halle)

KACAO77:  Kacao77, The Nasty Boys 156 Allstars

RUSK: I`m Rusk from the Maclaim Crew

how long do you paint?

DRIK: I lost my “normal” life 10 years ago

SLIDE:  I´m painting for 11 Years.

KACAO77: 13 years

RUSK: Since around 10 Years!

why you took the topic "ghost rider" for the slovakian competition and when you decide it?

SLIDE:  The Topic "GhostRider" and also the Words for T-Up, Tag and Sketch-Contest has been chosen by Kacao77 and Rusk

KACAO77: cool name, good sound and interesting letters, it was a spontan idea in the hotel with rusk and slide, i asked them how they find it, and they like it

RUSK: We decide it together while a jury meeting in the evening before the battle. We took this topic because it is a wide topic, with a lot of space for different creative interpretations. A pity that just a few crews tried to realize this!

Drik, you didnt was a judge in the slovakian jury, but you was there. Are you gladly haven´t to decide on the competition?Because jury told us "it was very difficult to decide the winner"... what you think?

DRIK: I agree with the decision of the jury. I guess it was difficult cause in most of the W4G events you can see there is maybe something like a favourite, and you can see they from the beginning (you know from the first lines till the end) but in Bratislava most of the crews got the same standard. At the end of the competition you saw the small different between the three first places.

how would you describe the slovakian write4gold in 2 sentences? how far is the graffiti scene developed there? did it please you in bratislava?

DRIK: They have fruitful ground and you can see the first tree´s. I`m very proud to be a part of the contest in bratislava, it is always nice to do a style in a different country. It was a well planed event with a good aftershowparty.

SLIDE:  The Graff-Scene is such young and hungry, there are alot of talents, which will make their way the next years. They are interested in everything about Graffiti, maybe like the german Graff-Scene at the Beginning of the 90´s.

KACAO77: Lot of writers over there, and a nice wall, in addition sunshine..bratislava is a very nice city, cool buildings and architecture, a capitol with style, crazy guys..about the developement of the slovakian scene, we would see, i was about 2 days there, i cant told you now more...

RUSK: I enjoyed my stay in Bratislava very much, I meet some very nice people and had a good time. It`s nice to see how much people visited Write4Gold in Bratislava and are interested in the graffiti culture! Some special regards to my man Daor and the Roff Top Guys. The event was very well organized and we kicked a fresh wall!

it was a difficult decision in bratislava? tell us something about the slovakian battle!

SLIDE: The Decision was not easy, cause some Crews did not paint the Topic, and many Crews working at the same Level.

RUSK: It was a really hard and curtly decision. There was no crew which was on top in all cathegories and the most of the participants doesn`t realized the topic. I was a little bit disappointed the nearly the half of the crews doesn`t care for the topic! The quality of the T-ùps was very good and I was really satisfied with the works in this cathegorie!

Drik,why rhs didnt participate at write4gold 2005?

DRIK: Maybe for us it is more fun to be a part of the jury, talk with everybody, do a style or playing “cabelholder” ;)

what you think about the chance to win for the DKH crew (winner of slovakian write4gold) at the european final?

DRIK: Good question but at these time we have just two qualified crews for the european final. So it is to early to talk about chances. They must participate like all crews.

SLIDE: I think its a acceptable Decision, there where no Crew, which has better should become the PolePosition. Like i said, many of the Crews painting on same Level of Development.

KACAO77: first i have to see more

RUSK: It would be not easy for them, because there are a lot of very good writers from several countries …but it`s a new game there and if they care for the concept and burn with some fresh styles, then I see some possibilities for them to impress the judges at the final

personal questions. Which plan you have for the near future? you drik with rhs crew and slide with the bandits crew,Kacao?...and Kacao, why you arent anymore in the montana writer team?

DRIK: We ‘re staying in contact with the “Deutsche Bundesbahn” about the right to do trains with permission. So we will see!

SLIDE:  Alot of Crewmembers are not in Dresden anymore, so we have to represent the Crew everywhere we are. Rokse in Sidney, Plaque in Cologne, MadC in NYC soon, and the French Members in France of Course. We will make a FranceTour in Summer, and we will make the Urban-SyndromesJam in May 2005.

KACAO77: i have a lot of ideas and projects like all the time, and well..what about the montana writerteam? on the end iam "free", you know, and happy to stay out of it...now its doomed..

RUSK: We take part on several events and want to realize some fresh productions. Next week we travel to Brno(Czech), then to Write4Gold Athens,Kosmopolite Paris, later in the summer maybe to Ukraine. In Germany we will paint in Rostock and Heidelberg! … and some more events are planned to visit!
