Did you read our awesome interview with Atherton Racing’s Taylor Vernon in issue 20?
Well – Paul Roberts joined us on the day that we interviewed him and shot some video. He’s just unearthed the footage and made this flippin funny ‘out takes’ vid from the day!

In early December, pro skater Javier Mendizabal and the Quiksilver by Vuerich B project team travelled to Phnom Penh to meet the Skateistan Cambodia team and their students. The whole experience is exposed in the short film ‘Wheels to Grow’ following Javier and Quiksilver Foundation during their visit to Skateistan Cambodia.
As an ambassador of the Quiksilver Foundation, Javier participated in all of Skateistan Cambodia’s day-to-day activities with the students. Through their shared passion for skateboarding, Javier was able to inspire and motivate the students of Skateistan to push their own skating to new levels.
