QUIKSILVER OFFICIALLY WELCOMES JAKE COLLINS AND KYRON DAVIES TO THEIR UK SKATE TEAM.

 

Quiksilver is pleased to announce, not only one, but two new additions to their UK skate team with both Jake Collins and Kyron Davies signing on.

 

Jake Collins, the all-terrain destroyer who is as comfortable on the streets as he is on tranny, hails from Newport, Wales and is part of the Killcity crew, who recently released their long awaited video. Kyron Davies is one of the biggest undiscovered talents in the UK. His effortless style and massive pop make him one to watch for the future. From North London he has cut his teeth at London's famous spots also honing his tranny skills at Bay 66. James Stentiford, team manager, is stoked to have them both onboard:

 

‘Jake and Kyron are two of the biggest talents in the UK, I can't wait to get out on the road and see them smash it up.'


Keep your eyes peeled for the boys welcome edits, dropping soon.

 

Jake and Kyron join the, already strong, Quiksilver UK skate team which consists of Sam Bosworth, Alex Decuhna and Dan McDermott. Keep checking on the Quiksilver blog for news, updates and podcasts from the new additions and the whole UK team.

Tony Hawk & friends set fire to Mumbai for the first ever skate demo in India

Quiksilver's Tony Hawk, the greatest skateboarder of all time, tonight made an astonishing performance in Mumbai for the first skateboard event ever organized in India. In front of almost 5000 spectators massed at Dhirubhai Ambani International School Grounds. Tony Hawk, along with his friends Kevin Staab, Andy MacDonald, Sam Bosworth and young prodigy Mitchie Brusco, surpassed themselves to entertain the massive and enthusiastic crowd packed up around one of the world's biggest portable vert ramp especially built up for the show by Quiksilver.

Tony & friends all displayed their best manoeuvres to the sound of UK deck star Scott Nixon : airs and lip tricks in both old school and modern styles. The 8 time skateboarding world champion and 21 X Games medals owner, Andy MacDonald, threw massive his 360 backside boneless and fx rodeo lean and achieved several doubles along with Tony.
On his side, the birdman nailed perfect 720  and a mc twist over the 10 feet channel. He also made several spectacular attempts for a 900°, supported by the huge crowd shouting his name.

Tony Hawk : "With thousands of kids watching at us today, I was wondering this event would maybe change the life of some of them. I deeply hope that skateboarding will grow in India. When I see the energy and desire of all these children, I imagine that maybe, in a few years, one of them will become one of the best skateboards in the world."
"It's insane to think that every single manoeuvre you land is the fist ever achieved on the Indian soil. It's really a huge motivation. The Indian peoples craze really pushed me to do my best. I tried to land the 900° many times but unfortunately I could not make it. It's a good reason to come back here !"

This amazing demo showcasing Tony Hawk, the most recognized action-sports figure in the world, also gave Quiksilver an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the launch of the brand in India and the recent openings of the first 3 stores in the country in a 5 months period.

TONY HAWK & FRIENDS SHOW MUMBAI / INDIA

Quiksilver's legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk will be heading to Mumbai, India in December 2011 for the first ever skateboarding demo in the country. Along with some of the best ramp riders such as Kevin Staab, Andy MacDonald, Sam Bosworth and young prodigy Mitchie Brusco, Tony Hawk will defy the laws of gravity on a monumental vert ramp (4,50m high, 19m large and 18m deep) shaped by G Ramps. The massive half pipe will be settled by Quiksilver for one single show scheduled on December 3rd at School Grounds, behind Dhirubhai Ambani International School, BKC in Mumbai.

 


Hosting The Tony Hawk & Friends Show in Mumbai gives Quiksilver a unique and sensational opportunity to celebrate the launch of the brand in India and the recent openings of the first 3 stores in the country in a 5 months period.

Tony's latest appearances with Quiksilver included his show in the majestic surroundings of the Grand Palais in Paris (nov 2009), the European Tour where the greatest skateboarder ever and his crew headlined four amazing performances in Berlin, Rome, Barcelona in front of 25 000 spectators (picture) and Brighton in 2010... Last September, Tony Hawk made a rare exhibition for the Quiksilver Pro New York opening with an unprecedented vert demo held in Manhattan. The Mumbai show promises to be one of the most spectacular and unusual of the Skateboarding Master.

Quiksilver is also thrilled to announce that English artist and producer/DJ Scott Nixon will be performing live during the Tony Hawk & Friends Show in Mumbai. The British deck star is a man of many talents. From his debut at London's superclub - Fabric back in November 05, he's now a regular on the scene playing at clubs nationwide, including Heaven, Ministry of Sound and a host of international festivals. Scott Nixon has been mixing before he first stood on a snowboard over 20 years ago. Being a pro-rider on the European snowboard scene for over 15 years opened up a huge freesport audience to his mixing talents and he's been a regular at massive surf & snowboard events for years, including the Freeze Festival takeover of Battersea Power Station and the Tony Hawk Show in Brighton.
