\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nOur first stop was Lakai shoes. Shop assistant and team rider Matt Drever, rocked up at the Lakai stand wearing a rather used pair of trainers so the rep Adrian, hooked matt up with a fresh set of camo\/black Lakai Picos.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nMatt and I stuck a pre order as seen in the photo below for a Feburary pre-order.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe are both mega excited with our choice and have added a few kids trainers into the mix sizes starting from 3-5. We have chosen what we believe are some good looking and hard wearing skate shoes. We did choose one set of canvas trainers, but we do think that they will make a smart shoe for going out in. We also chose a few sets of pro trainers. You may recognise the name Riley Hawk \u2013 Let\u2019s face it you can\u2019t have a famous skateboarding dad and not get sponsored. These collab shoes with Baker are going to be a sell-out. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nAfter Lakai we popped over to see another distributor who stocks Polar, National skateboards and Welcome. We have placed an order for a new line into the store so expect to see National Skateboards hitting the shelves in the next few weeks plus a few new decks from Welcome and Polar. We\u2019ve also ordered some new tee\u2019s so look out for these hitting our store in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nMatt and I then popped over to see Callum who works for one of the biggest skate distributor\u2019s in the UK. Armed with the iPads we placed an order for loads of new clothing from Anti Hero \u2013 who have used a mock-up of the Thrasher text in some of their new tees. We also ordered from Creature who have kept to their same style for 2015 and from Thunder. All of these preordered tees, snap backs and five panels will come into store in February 2015.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe had placed an order for some deck chairs from Creature which are going to RRP for \u00a324.95 each. They are a must \u2013 there is a matching coffin shaped towel but with an RRP of \u00a350 plus we didn\u2019t order one. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThen we headed over to the DGK stand. ATBShop Skate Warehouse had a little shopping spree over there. They had some really cool decks in stock which should be with us later this week. We also bought a dog shaped cruiser, which for me was the high-light of my trip. We had tried to order the cat\/Sony shaped cruiser from Polar but they had sold out, so this board was a must! From DGK we also ordered tons of snap backs, tees and decks. Some of these will be in this week and some are on an autumn pre order so will be back in mid-October. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe also order some amazing new MOB grip tape with a stencil design on by mouse. We know this grip tape is going to kill it at an RRP of only \u00a39.95 a sheet!<\/p>\n
![\"ATBShop](\"https:\/\/www.atbshop.co.uk\/skatepark\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_2298-150x150.jpg\")
\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThen we popped over to the last stand of the day who distribute Primitive, Grizzly and Isle. We put an order in for a ton of new decks from Isle and primitive. We especially loved Primitive new all over gold deck. This deck has the bling factor \u2013 although we do think you would be blinded with one kick flip in the sun. Staying on the subject of blinding \u2013 check out the new \u201cWeedazzle grip tape\u201d from Bro style. I can honestly say I have never seen a grip tape contain glitter. This may have to come with a health warning if hooked up with the Primitive deck. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nWe also ordered from Grizzly \u2013 loads of new socks, key rings, wax, snap back\u2019s and my favourite plastic board grippers. This is a clever little piece of plastic which is shaped like a blade which you can keep in your wallet to grip with. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nOver all the show was well worth hitting up. It\u2019s good to see what\u2019s new for 2015, catch up the suppliers and build a relationship with them. They have promised us prizes for competitions and even gave us some to take away. Thanks to Shiner for hosting the event and we will see you all again in 2015 for the next one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
