Mark talks young tour life and more travel stories in this second and final part of his Volcom Road Tested video interview.

The Flip Team is justifiably over the moon right now. As well as winning the TWS Best Video award, they also won Best Team! The award ceremony was a riot and the team were there in force. Memories of Shane Cross still filled the air as well with emotions as well as much pride in the hearts of the whole team. An epic time was had by all and the exploits during the limo ride to the theater will remain the stuff of legends…

Check out all that you missed out on International Day Against Drugs at Dubai Festival City & Rage Skatepark last weekend!

Flip just put up a video of Rune’s footage, there’s a clip Tamer Ramadan filmed of his Noseblunt at Mamzar in there!

We’re stoked to bring you three new tricks this week from Alex Medvedev, Colm Noonan and Tamer Ramadan…

To wrap up go skate day, we ended up down in Deira at Sparks. The spot was a little too small for the amount of people that were there, goes to show you can only have so many people down there at once to have a proper sesh! Nonetheless it was a good vibe and lots of tricks went down off the ledge and a few people stepped up to the plate and got theirs over the sparks gap.

Go Skate Day was hot hot hot! Thanks for beating the heat with us and coming out to skate!

Mark Appleyard recounts his experience here in the UAE as a “typical north-american” in this interview by Volcom Brand Jeans. The Volcom Dubai Tour was four years ago and so much of the skating during that trip is still remembered today.

Every Sunday we’ll be posting a few sequences and photos to show you what’s been going down each week in the streets of the UAE… Here’s 5 local bangers to start it off…
