Life

At the beginning of the 1980s, long before the Germina Speeder was the only skateboard produced in the GDR, Thomasius made his first skateboard from a fence picket and roller skates. In a skateboard competition in the Eastern Bloc, which took place in Czechoslovakia in 1988 , he took 42nd place.

By Titus Dittmann , West German skateboard pioneer, he was supplied with professional skateboards and accessories from West Germany, which was managed as contraband across the inner-German border.

After acquiring a skilled worker certificate, Thomasius completed training as an educator with state recognition. For the district office of Berlin-Lichtenberg he worked until 1997 as a social worker for the youth home “Eastside” with a focus on “media education”. Thomasius has been working as an independent media producer specializing in 3D since 1997 . His main areas of activity were digital music production, 3D animation, 3D illustration, 3D modeling, 3D lighting and media authoring. He had been privately trained in these areas since 1986. Furthermore, Thomasius works as an industrial and product designer as well as a film and music producer. From 2002 to 2004 he achieved second place in the “Professional Stills” category at the Animago Award .

Thomasius worked on the fictional documentary This Ain't California about the skateboard scene in the GDR, which appeared in 2012.
