The Works Skatepark is celebrating their 4th birthday on Monday 26th November.

The birthday party means free entry to all members, so to join all the jollities and help them celebrate, head down from midday to 10pm for a riot!

The idea is for you to make the Volcom Stone your own. Paint on it. Draw on it. Cut and Paste stuff onto it. Customise it any way you see fit…

This competition will be running from Thursday 17th November until Saturday 1st December in selected stores. All you need to do is head to any Volcom retailer to pick up your blank 3D Stone and return it back to the store by a 1st December, fully customised. This customisation is down to your imagination. Anything goes.

We can’t wait for a glimpse into your twisted minds.

The Southbank officially had its soul ripped out when this lot came to town….

Suddenly, there is a new rider on Flip. Two days after officially getting on the team, he won the recent GVR contest, beating many of skating’s current elite. Luan de Oliveira is a natural fit for the Flip Team; always smiling, always progressing and probably better than you!

Luan comes from Porto Alegre in the South of Brazil, and has been secretly skating there for the last seven years. It’s probably no coincidence that Ronaldinho comes from his home town, and Luan looks like he is going to make a similar impact on our skateboarding world.

He has only just turned 17, and you can bet your money this young gun is not going to be a “Man Am”.
