I saw Anna for the first time in the Aurich skate hall and then at the East Frisian Skate Cups. Back then, she was still a small, shy girl, but she was the exact opposite on the skateboard. Although she could only do a few tricks on the skateboard and was also the only skateboarding girl at the contest, she wasn’t afraid to ride the contest with all the boys. I definitely thought that was blatant at the time.

Because she often took part in the contests and always had a positive attitude, she quickly made contact with the other skaters, including Keno (Ringering), who also lived in Aurich. So at some point she joined Keno and the other boys on the Hamburg trips. I also got to know her personally. She then also started skating the street spots in Hamburg. When Keno and his crew skated a session at a gap or a 10 step, they weren’t too shy to skate along and then moshed the steps and gaps hard. Although “only” with an Ollie, the slams were not without them. She took a lot of punishment. Perhaps even more than any other skater would take. For a long time, this was her program, which she herself also enjoyed. She simply wasn’t afraid.

Just like skating, she soaked up everything else that had to do with skating and was involved everywhere. At contests, trade fairs, tours, skate parties, etc. She really lived the skater lifestyle. It didn’t take long before everyone in the skate scene had Anna Kruse on their radar. Her skating in combination with her friendly and friendly charisma captivated everyone and she even made a name for herself throughout Europe.

As Anna was mainly involved with the Morphium environment and she regularly bought boards and skated through me, it was clear to me that Anna should join the official team.
