Words by stab

Welcome back to the Stab and Corona‘s Beach Chair series, in which we capture the action in the peripherals of World Tour events. Can you believe that two stops into the 2016 season, Matt Wilkinson is $200k richer and 20k World Tour points heavier? We can. Wilko’s been sitting on an untapped talent for years, occasionally peeling back the lid to offer us a glimpse. But now it’s oozing out, scaring the shit out of opponents, and pushing him onto podiums. But, how does the man who once roller-skated to a contest site feel about his time in the sun? His breezy explanation and recollection of recent events will make you like him even more, if that were possible. Take a seat an pop the top.
