“For my fourth Pro Aeon from USD, I wanted to create a simplified classic aeon aesthetic, but with the latest high spec features. Starting with removing the skin and selecting a timeless USD cream colour in homage to skates such as the Fredrick, Arlo and All-Star team Thrones of the past.

Working with the MyFit design team I created a new pro liner in the silhouette of the latest MyFit Prime liners. I selected these for maximum support and responsiveness, but with an added recall innersole for that instant out-the-box comfort. As usual, I removed the 45-degree straps and added extra high-quality waxed laces. I rounded the skate off with my ‘Le Planet Sauvage’ pro wheels from Undercover’s Blockbuster range and Wicked ABEC 9 bearings.” - Sam Crofts.

HAPPY - THE EXTENDED MIX :)

Filmed over a couple of spring weekends before Martin’s Knee Operation. When I posted this I didn’t have the words to add so I will leave a message from the man himself: “I went to war for this part, physically and mentally. We chose a song that reflects my long lasting love for this profession. I’ve applied myself for the best part of 24 years! I hope you all enjoy !".

Martin’s words sum this up perfectly, he went to town on the spots giving it his all in the weekends leading up to his operation. The commitment and sacrifice Martin gave with the potential of aggravating a long term injury shows how much he loves rollerblading. As always the time spent making this was inspiring and rewarding in equal parts. I thank Martin for all of this as without him taking these risks I’d just be another dude with a camera, for his friendship and for everyone who helped us make this happen.

‘SHINE’ (2022) Is the latest amalgam of life, skate culture and skill captured through the lens of BANK LDN. Shot primarily in London UK with a special journey to Glasgow & Edinburgh, Scotland.

As paths intersect and depart, the constant remains the intuition to skate. A central beacon which has guided the collective journey of this group. A true nature is revealed in these high moments of visualisation and aesthetic brilliance - An inner realisation of oneself in a finite moment.
