Xsjado is happy to announce a few new riders to the team, in the force of Blake Bird and Neil Ingall. Expect to see them shredding at the winterclash as well as any grimey street you can find in our capital.

Below is a photo i took of Neil on new years day. It’s been a while since i have taken a skate shot so my timing was off, even with Neil lacing it many times. However i have come to grow on the photo as it shows that he is spinning into it.
Once again for the tech geeks out there, this was shot on a
Canon eos 5d mark 2
15mm fisheye
iso 200
1/6 sec
f6.3
2 flashes, one which you can see and then one high up behind me to light Neils body up.

Neil Ingall, fakie to wallride 180 out, London, photo and text ‘the oracle’.

It’s that time again, ladies day at Rampworx goes down on Friday the 19th. If you’re a lady, get your bum down there.

Ben Shelbourne has hooked us all up with some visual enlightenment once again with The Boneyard 2010 Jam Edit. Featuring the likes of Frazer Watson, Alex Burston and Nick Lomax to name a few….enjoy!

We got asked to produce a rider profile for the Extreme Channel recently so decided to shoot a piece with NIMH UK rider Sam Tuffnell. Shot by Ed Inglis, Adam Kola and James Sharp it was passed to their production house to chop up. We’ve just heard that it’s being aired on Sky Sports which is quite the result. If you’re in at the following times then tune in and check it out.

Winterclash needs your support! That’s not just a lame slogan – it’s a fact!

The Winterclash 2010 will be a step into a new direction for Rollerblading events and for Rollerblading itself. However, in order to take this step, your support is truly needed!
This year we will have less sponsors than expected. Thus, the financing of the Winterclash 2010 is getting a bit tricky right now and it looks like there will be a huge minus after the event. The worst case scenario is: There will be no future for the Winterclash after 2010!
It is in YOUR hands now because you can support the event and save its future by buying a “Weekend Pass” instead of a day ticket! Order it right now in one of our partner shops and become a strong supporter. We need YOU to live on.

35€ seems like a lot, but think about what’s included: 2 full event days, 2 parties, cheaper hotel rooms and that’s just the basics. For 35€ you will be part of the biggest event in Rollerblading. You will meet all the old and so many new friends, share great moments, see the best Rollerblading today, meet all the Pros, party hard, roll hard, enjoy…..

We fully appreciate your support and we can’t wait to see you soon in Berlin!
The Winterclash Team
