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.

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.

Benelux teamrider skate Woody Hoogendijk has won the Wild in the parks 2011 skate contest.

Skateboarding and photography unite in art

 

 

From 16 to 21 May, Cádiz will be hosting the third edition of Quiksilver Skate in Vision, an unrivalled international competition that combines art and urban culture, skateboarding and photography.

 

 

After the success of the past two editions, which were held in Bilbao and Madrid, it will again be the invited skaters and photographers who will bring this unique event to life. Their goal: capture the best snapshot in the Andalusian city's best known yet most hidden skate spots.

 

 

The Quiksilver riders Javier Mendizabal, Cristian Cortizo, Ignacio Morata, Gosha Konishev, Raphael Brunis and Maxim Habanec, together with guest riders Germán Pontiaga, Alberto Velazquez, Miguel Sanchez and others, will have to show their best tricks before the lenses of Patxi Pardiñas (ESP), Jakub Krizo (CHE), Lev Maslov (RUS) and Antton Miettinen (FIN), who are amongst the most respected photographers in their field.

 

 

To put the icing on the cake, on 21 May from 8pm there will be a launch party at Vertigo (C/Medina 55, Jerez de la Frontera) where the Quiksilver Skate in Vision photos will not only be put on show, but also voted on by the audience.

 

 

Those people who won't be able to attend the final exhibition will be able to vote for their favourite photograph through the Quiksilver Skateboarding website and enter a draw for a complete outfit from the Quiksilver Skateboarding Collection, which can only be found in specialised skate shops. The prize for the best picture is a rather attractive 1,000 euros for the photographer and the skater featured.
