Learn to blade by TuffMax

So as you may have seen through a few social network sites, this summer there is going to be an inline camp where you can be taught to skate by our very own USD pro's, Nick Lomax and Sam Tuffnell!
Although Sam has been out with constant injury the past year, what with his ACL being completely gone and then being knocked off a motorbike by a minibus, rest assured, the T1000 will be back in full force!

Below is also a nice set up of the new Sagona thrones by our main man Ben Shelbourne, or more widely known as 'Slick', the creator of let it never end and many a Nick Lomax edit!

March edit

Whilst the lads are all busy filming for their separate projects, here are a few stray clips pieced together. 
Thanks to everyone who sent in footage and also locoskates.com and slaptap.com for the support!
Next in line, UK Conference on the road with Dom West, keep checking back for that gem

PowerMax

So all you saw his set up photo and now after a week of having the new pulls Nick has gone and made a beast of an edit, using the frames in the best way possible...bmx tracks and airing the shit out of everything! But then a Lomax edit wouldn't be the same without some techers added into the mix too..

Joe Atkinson edit by himself

So during one of his many unplanned and unexpected trips Joe found himself in Brighton with Adam Kola with a bunch of footage from a few sessions spread around the end of the Summer that hadn't been used for anything. So Ladkinson decided to give editing a go and below is his how it came out (with the addition of Kola placing the Brole at the end).
Also see below a photo of Richie Eisler from the week he was over in the UK, shot by Kola.

Loco DVD advert in the works

Loco skateshop are about to drop what could be one of the sickest tour dvd's the UK has seen for a while, so as well as featuring our very own Nick Lomax and Joe Atkinson we will be making a USD advert for the dvd too. Albert Hooi sent us some exclusive footage for the advert, check out the screen grab below of one of his many bizarre but amazing tricks!

James Keyte received his new Bambrick carbons a few weeks back and blasted this quick edit out too.

Lomax back in the game

So after Nick's summer of crutches he's finallty back in the game, currently on tour in Columbia with Richie Eisler soaking up the rays and whatever else Columbia has to offer..
Below is an edit filmed over the course of 2 days with just a few hours skating to ease the leg back into the swing of things. Also whilst filming the tricks Nick got enough photos with Adam Kola for a mini view in the new issue of Wheelscene, so be sure to grab a copy from your local skate/music shop as Nicky lad got the poster for the issue too.
Below are a few screen grabs and then 2 originals for your viewing pleasure!
All photos by Adam Kola.

Slamm Jamm 2011

The 13th Slamm has been and our very own Blake Bird won the UK legacy award, pretty much the most prestigious award you can get, so many congrats to the bird man.
We also had Nick Lomax up against Alex Burston in the locoskates box rail jam, Nick won again making it two in a row now. We also had Joe Atkinson up against Elliot Stevens, Joe took the win also!
We also had Richie Eisler over for a week, after destroying Barcelona for the last year, Richie decided to grace the UK with an appearance after a 9 year absence before heading off to Morocco, Venezuela and Columbia (where Nick Lomax will join him).

ProMax is back!

After being collided into at the Chaz Invite a few months ago, Lomax has been out of action resulting in the end of his winning streak across the globe. Just as he thought he was back the shenaningans that the NASS festival brings took him out again!
Well, this past Sunday Nick strapped his skates back on for his first proper blade since the injury and we can happily say there is no sign of loss of tricks. 3 photos and a sequence with Adam Kola, an online edit courtesy of James Sharp to arise soon from the days events. ProMax was in full force.
Remember to check out the Loco Box skate dice edit when it surfaces featuring Nick vs Sim Warren, the epic first battle of the series.

 Wrestling it out to see who rolls the dice first..

 What did he do here? Check the edit to find out..

Sim Warren does NASS 2011

So skater / filmer extraordinaire Sim Warren has once again exceeded all our expectations with this years NASS edit. Capturing the whole emotion and atmosphere that circles throughout the event on and off the skatepark.
The edit also features some of our homeboys, enjoy...

Ladkinson hits up Sweden

So Joe was recently in Sweden doing demo's and also winning the main event that took place there alongside Tony Hawk and the Yasatoko's.
Well it seems like Joe had enough time to snatch a few clips and befriend a beautiful little Dutch bike (anyone that knows Joe would know he's been after a number like this for a quite some time, shame he only had it for a week).

Anyhow, enjoy these clips and expect some more shenanigans from the man of the moment over the next month whilst he's tearing up Scotland with team mates Keir Lindsay and James Keyte,

NASS 2011

So our boys hit it pretty hard this year, with Lomax re breaking his leg, Joe getting an appendicitis and the rest of the troops getting too involved in the festivities.
Anyhow, below is an edit courtesy of Ben Shelbourne of 'Let it never end' fame catching some of our conference clan in action!
Photo props to Si Cox and Jennifer Arundel
Enjoy..

Blake Bird welcome to Slap Tap

Ally Brightwell has just dropped an edit featuring Xsjado's Blake Bird. Blake got picked up by SlapTap recently so thought he'd drop an edit to intro himself onto their heavy powered team!
Good job!

Ladkinson does it again

It appears with Lomax out with a broken leg Joe Atkinson is trying to take over his realm of winning everythign early this summer.
Joe won the MCR riot jam last weekend and now just came first in the street spots comp. at NASS 2011. Battling through security to climb to the top of the London cityscape wall, Joe straight up beasted the gap into the flatbank sending the crowds into a frenzy. Expect an edit of yours truly alongside his UK conference buddies out ASAP.
On the downside, Joe was feeling ill Sunday night and is now in hospital having an operation to remove his appendix. Here's to a quick recovery.

Dano's first few skates in the Kelso Carbons

Dano has sent over a sick edit of the first few skates in his new Carbon Kelso's. Check it below,

Atkinson takes the MCR riot

As well as filming a whole bunch of tricks for a new edit the day before the jam around Manchester, Atkinson went and took joint first with his Eulogy compadre Julian Coulter in the MCR riot.
Rumour had it that the event was going to get shut down by Simon Cowell of X factor fame who had decided to set skate event up for a new TV show at the same venue on the same weekend, what are the bloody chances ey?
Manchester has always been a raw rugged street scene so nothing was going to stop it. Props go out to Nick Lomax, Alex Burston and Rik cheetham for setting the event up and making it a giant success, bring on the next one!
