"This is the first of what we hope to be many a road trip, featuring the British Conference skate team. This time we journeyed for 4 days across the South East coast of the UK and to the nation's capital, London. A huge thanks to some of our team who made it down for the ride; Blake Bird, Matt Smith, Neil Ingall, Nick Lomax, Sam Tuffnell and the newest addition to our nomad crew, Elliot Stevens!
Thanks also go out to Locoskates.com and slaptap.com for not only supporting our products and ideas but supporting the British skate scene and its bladers.
Thanks to theconference.org for allowing this to even be a possibility and keeping wheels under our feet at all times! Lastly, a big thanks to Dom West for skating, filming and editing this feature when he should be cooped up inside at University completing his masters!
Thanks and be sure to keep checking back for more coverage of what the British Conference are getting upto "

Capital clash 2012..... This was the best so far from Blake Bird and rollcam, a new A box was built and a turnout which would of made most independent competition jealous. The vibe of the event was fun and everyone was up for a good day at bay66 London, with bladers traveling from Manchester, Glasgow and the coasts for this event. Capital rollers where well in focus, James Bower being the peoples champion throw crazy tricks on the square drop box. Swain came up with the showmanship after a few months out with an injury. SSM rider Joe Atkinson was giving the crowd some creative hammers with a soul up the box huck a railing to fakie Rollin the rolling. James and Elliott Stevens took best trick, Elliott did a disaster top soul on a square rail (the gap is no joke) and James Bower did 360 sav on the drop box. Swain took the win with Joe Atkinson in 2nd and Dan collins in 3rd.

Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
