Footage from the Globe Metz Masters Session which took place over the the weekend of the January 12th, is now online for your enjoyment.

With Bastien Salabanzi making a reappearance and bagging first place, the UK heads were out in force and ripping too. In attendance were Chris Oliver, Ross McGouran, Dan Wileman, Neil Smith, Kris Vile and more, so check the footage below for what went down.

He dresses in clowns outfits, he skates as much as he can underwater and he rides for Death Skateboards. Yep, Dan Cates is one of a kind here in the UK, so much so that rumours have washed into HQ that he also buys Hedgehogs for Xmas presents.

But it’s true, his missus Alex is now a proud owner of a spikey African Pygmy pet named Bramble. How sweet of him, maybe this new Cates will even get the beers in this year…or then again…
