Beiran is cool to skate with. His approach to learning a new slide trick goes a bit like this: go as fast as you can, commit 110%, take a massive slam that would cripple most mortals, then somehow get up and try it again. And again. Then just as you can't stand to watch him anymore it'll happen and he'll pull it. He's got some big scary tricks in his bag - but it's the way he does them that makes him so rad. Hopefully you'll get to skate with him sometime soon and you'll see for yourself!

As well as sliding and skating, Beiran is a pretty hot mountainboarder, travelling all over the place with UK based Mountainboard Mag to bomb some hills and fling himself down some big drops. He also helps the ATBA with the UK Mountainboard series - check that out at www.atbauk.org
