20 skate shops went head to head last weekend for our Clash of the Crews contest, presented by Vans. It was a tough call, but Island Water Sports came out on top with the SPoT team at a close second. Congrats to everyone who placed and thanks to Vans for making this a success. Shouts to Big Storm Brewing too, for hooking up their own prizes for this and providing the free sauce all weekend.

We all know that one rider who can flick the switch and will well and truly put your riding ability to shame, I think every group of riders has that one guy who does the biggest drop off’s or is capable of putting five seconds into your times. In my experience that person was Joel, when I felt my fastest I had this cheeky kid buzzing on Coca Cola putting in big time gaps against me. To make it even more frustrating he didn’t train no where near a much as me, he was making all his time in the turns.
Then we became good friends and training partners, if I could learn from his riding techniques he could learn from my training techniques. He is a local legend in the Cwmcarn and the South Wales area, still yet to shine on the World Cup circuit but that time is nearing. See for yourself in his latest edit!
