Elliot has decided to make the move from Valo to USD. He’s been working with Adam Kola on this press release and video that’s been filmed and edited by Dom West and also features dirt box rider Neil Ingall. Elliot is working on loads of projects at the moment so you can expect to see a lot of him this year. He’s in Russia as I type this! Congratulations Elliot.

Filmed and edited by Jon Jenkins this ones a real team effort! New footage of Umberto is always a treat and with the spots Arizona has to offer this is no exception. Thank you to James and Gretch at Revolution and Jon for playing host to Umberto while he was out there.

“With Dan’s “warm up” completed and orchard park filling up with naughty locals we moved on with street in mind. We headed to a spot in Cavendish that he had tried before with the hopes that second time round Dan could lace it this time round. After a few tries and some quick extra padding out of Dan’s footbeds he pulled The trick out of the bag in typical steezy Dan Ives fashion”

“Digital SLR magazine took a liking to my work and decided to feature me and what I do. I would like to thank Matty Graham and Digital SLR magazine for giving me, my work and rollerblading another platform within the mainstream from which to shine.”

“I have known Dan for quite some years now and watched him grow from a little kid with a disgustingly good natural ability on blades into one of the most exciting people to watch in the world. Dan has been an honorary member of the dirt box family from the start, in-fact I gave him one of the first 4 hand made t-shirts. It goes without saying that it brings me great pride to officially announce he is part of the team and I look forward to doing whatever I can to make sure people get to see as much of Dan as possible.”

“With the French invasion almost coming to an end Sam bought Klem and Remi to Cambridge to experience the skating and the city itself. Before we hit up the city for a really enjoyable cruise around all the sights landmarks that make up Cambridge we had a skate. Lando was a bust so I took the guys to Blue Thunder and Sam relished the challenge that this incredibly hard sport has to offer.”
