MATTIAS IN BRAZIL
The cockney Swede is back from his trip to Sweden for Christmas and is in Brazil right about now skating some of the gnarliest Concrete the planet has to offer as well as attending an X Games Qualifier. Word is the Swede has been skating with Bob Burnquist, Lincoln Ueda and Sandro Dias and has put down a few more mctwists. In his own words:

“I have been shooting photos for the largest mag in Brazil Tribo and I'm also currently doing an interview with ESPN Brazil which I'm stoked about. Having a good time, had a little bit too much sun...it's really hot here! Nice beaches, sketchy ghettos, crazy skate parks! We nearly got mugged at one skate park in Ipanema called Arpuador, but lucky for us, the police was right behind him while he was asking us for money with his hand in his bag holding his gun! Been filming a little so will show you when I'm back. Anyway, got another two weeks to go, later”
