Taylor Lautner gets to show off his athletic prowess during a photoshoot on the beach on Thursday.

The Twilight star and former karate champ unleashed a series of hand-stands and back-flips in the surf for an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

He also rode a motorcycle, and demonstrated some nifty ball skills in front of the camera.

Whilst Taylor kept his top on for the shoot, his wet t-shirt still gave Team Taylor - and possibly some new converts - plenty to admire.

Somehow we can't see Robert Pattinson pulling off any of these moves.
