(Check the bottom of the interview for the video)

Your name, age, location, anything we should know?
Warick Beynon, 15 years old from Camden in Sydney, Austalia.
Im an employee at monster skatepark,

What got you into scooters?
um id have to say friends, ive always lived at a skatepark basically.
my older brother is a sponsored skater so i grew up following him around.

How'd you get a job at monster skatepark? What do you do for work there?
well when monster let scooters in, i think it was late december 08 there was new owners and they wanted to start fresh. They offored me sponsorship and part of the sponsorship was a job that was optional. i took the job because i needed money. i pretty much just do scooter lessons, foampit lessons and throw parties for kids there, but with that i also work behind the counter with retail and the cafe area.



Working at monster, a lot of tourists come to ride, who's been your favorite person to sesh with at monster?
well ive riden with people from all around the world, but ide have to say my local Coedie Donovan, Any park anytime he throws down and hes taught me alot so definantly him

You also see alot of kids, has working at monster changed your view on the younger generation of riders for better or for worse? Any stories about scooter kids?
definantly better, scooters are the underdog of extreme sports but part of my job is to teach the younger ones, most riders forget we were all there at one stage, at monster pretty much everything goes down but the story would have to be sammy the 7 year old wonder kid, he can drop in every ramp including the biggest ramp in the southern hemisphere and shred the GNAR. or another story about on the monster camp how royce king fell asleep in the foam pit for 3 hours because hed been riding 3 days straight. ahha

Who / Where would you session given unlimited time and money?
Um probably the melbourne kids, ive travelled alot the the world including my trip to California last january where i missed out on SD3 by 2 days and didnt ride with anyone. but ide definantly like to ride the parks in Cali again so fly all the Melbourne kids like Max Peters, Jaxon Andrawartha etc to the states to ride with me and the DSC possy, FOR YEARS!



Would you rather the sport gain a reputation as big as skateboarding/BMX, or stay relatively underground like we are now?
Well ide love the sport to take off, but by saying that i dont want it to forget its true roots. Like riders such as Coedie , Phil lagettie, Arron Brand, James barrett etc. Not many people know but James did a double inward bri up jamo euro in 2007. And without those 4 guys i wouldnt have been riding so much today. But all in all the Xgames and world promotion is where the sport needs to go because it is an extreme sport and the future is still ahead of us.


Thanks for your time, any last words to the readers? Shout-outs to anyone?
Id like to thank Inside Scooters and Aaron Bransdon for the interview, Monster skatepark for all the support theyve given me, my family, DSC, Chris Hart, Liam Anderson, Phil Lagettie, Todd and Mitchell slee and Nickeh. PEACE!
