Anyone Fancy A Sausage?

If you're in the Leeds area this weekend and are thinking of heading to the Hyde Park Unity Day then are you in for a treat!
Route One Team rider Avid and some of his buddies have arranged a Sausage Jam at the skatepark in Hyde Park as it was looking for a while like there was gonna be no skating going on at all this year's event, which would have been a proper tragedy!
It's being described as a mini ramp jam/p***s up, so don't expect anything too serious going on, but if you're up for a laugh and like sausages (and who doesn't?) then you're going to have a whale!
Should be a good afternoon's entertainment and if you need more info, head to our store in Leeds, where they'll sort you right out!

Manhead Victorious At Newquay Surf Festival

Yeah, you read it right Manhead's done the business at the Rip Curl Boardmasters Festival in Newquay. It's not all about surfing though you know...
Manhead won the Vans Newquay Park Pro competition at Boardmasters on Wednesday 7th August. Not only did he get a crate of beer he also got £300 and a trip to Morocco! In and amongst Manhead's rivals in Cornwall's biggest skate comp were top names including Chris Oliver, Ben Grove, Mike Wright and Ben Nordberg, so some seriously good riders out there.

The competition was judged on:
- Originality
- Difficulty
- Flow
- Use of course
- Combination tricks
- Amplitude

And the competition format was: - 6/4* man 10 minute jam session heats
- Top 2 go through each heat until10 man semi finals
- 4 x 4 man heats in semis, 10 minute jam
- 1 goes through to final from each heat
- 2 best runners up qualify for 6 man final
- 15 min final

So our man did really well! Big up Manhead!

Introducing the Nike 6.0 Heart And Sole Air Zoom Cush

Route One loves to bring you the hottest gear that no one else can touch, and we've got a beauty lined up for you here.
Nike and rock gods Alkaline Trio have hooked up to bring you one hell of a tidy, very limited edition shoe, that no one else in the UK has got!
Based on the 6.0 Cush, the Nike 6.0 Heart And Sole Air Zoom Cush has been lovingly revamped to reflect the influences of the band members, such as the Chicago Bulls colourway and the total vegetarian-ness of the shoe, no filthy leather here!
Anyway, take a look at the vid below and then go buy the shoe, these are seriously limited in numbers, and remember only we've got 'em!
