THE WINNER

Q. If you could pick your own ideal team through all the generations of skateboarders, who would you pick and why?

A. Not yet responded sorry!

THE RUNNERS UP

Sean Butt asks Sean Malto

Q. When you are setting yourself up for a set of stairs or gap and you feel nervous, what do you do to relax and what gives you the push needed to do it?

A. I try to just not think about it too much. Sometimes it works to just not over think falling or worst case scenarios and just go for the trick. I mean sometimes it doesn’t work and you slam but I guess that’s just skateboarding. When you do land it though, it’s pretty awesome!!!

Chris Waldron asks Kyle Leeper

Q.Who out of the entire Etnies team had the most embarrassing drunken moment on tour? Full details please x)

A. I would have to say Davis, I wasn’t there but all the boys went out one night in Barcelona, he got separated from the group and didn’t know where he was so he called his mother and she some how navigated him home!

Gavin MacDonald asks Willow

Q.Catherine Tate, Madonna, The Queen. You have to marry one, kill one, sleep with one. Where do you place them?

A.Marry the Queen, sleep with Madonna, kill Catherine Tate.

Etnies team signing

Phew, that was hectic! The Etnies team left the building an hour or so ago, after spending hours signing the shredders of Derbyshires' teeshirts, decks, shoes & bodies! Massive thanks to all the riders and all the good folks at Sole Tech for hooking it up, and to all the people who turned up! Cheers!

Ask a pro a question and win Etnies stuff!

As most of you are aware the 'Etnies Recognition Tour' is coming to Rollersnakes (click for more info).
We are teaming up with Etnies to give people the opportunity to have their question answered by a member of the Etnies team. That's right you tell us the question and we will ask the pro and post the answer right here on the blog. What's the catch you ask.
Well we can only ask 11 questions so only the best questions will get asked. If having your question answered by a skateboarding hero isn't enough for you then how about we give you free stuff for your troubles. The best question will win an Etnies Prize Package pictured below consisting of Shoes, Hoody, Jeans, Sunglasses and a Signed Tee. Ten runners up will each receive a Signed Etnies Tee.
