Interview With Greg Lutzka
Words: Ian Michna
For skating in every major contest and having a laundry list of major sponsors, Greg Lutzka doesn’t seem stressed in the slightest. As we discussed his recent projects with K-Swiss and his newest sponsor Jose Cuervo, Lutzka continually ended up back at his original thought, ‘I really just skate,” implying that everything else is rather secondary. His laidback style on the board is definitely an extension of his temperament off the board, as amidst all the sponsors and contests, nothing really gets too far under his skin. Greg is a rare breed of skater, who hasn’t caught too much flack or been pigeonholed just as a contest skater like many have in the past. In the end he just skates, and that’s the formula to his success. I caught up with him before heading out to Long Beach to meet up with Hoops, Decenzo, Sheckler and Dyet. Always laid back and down to earth, Lutzka filled me in on Jose Cuervo, Tampa Pro, his form of madness and what 2011 will deliver.
