How do the world's top vert skateboarders stay in shape for the grueling jam sessions they must endure at major competitions?
For perennial X Games star Pierre-Luc Gagnon, mixed martial arts training is playing an increasingly important role in conditioning.
The video shows PLG explaining his craft, and how MMA helps him perform at a top level, at the Tiger Muay Thai facility in Phuket, Thailand. The interview was after he edged Bob Burnquist to claim a gold medal on the mini-megaramp at X Games Asia. It's a bit long, but PLG fans won't mind:
The Tiger Muay Thai is one of the best facilities to train or just enjoy some physical exercise in Thailand. After enjoying the water and sightseeing, you can hit the place to burn some calories off and stay in shape. Good luck to PLG on your trainings to come.
