A day with Nick Lomax - Sessions - Day 1

I've already been paid for this trick today. Someone's already paid me. It's pretty much what I make from skating. Coffee. Skates. It's boiling hot. I got hot coffee today. Really not sure why, because it's like, I think it's like 35 degrees at 10 a.m. Can't believe it. But today we're going skating and I have a brand new pair of skates on me, but let's get to it. Check this out. All right, guys, just before I skate, I have a little ritual. I like to take a quick shower. Have you got my shampoo? Pass me my shampoo. Cheers, mate. Today I've got the Nex Charcoal 110 Combat Frames from Powerslide. They're fresh out the box and we're gonna do some slides, but you can't really slide straight away when your skates are fresh out the box. Watch where you're going, mate. There's a ramp there. You can't really slide when your skates are fresh out the box. So I'm gonna give you a few quick tips, what I do to get the layer off your wheel so you can start sliding on them. Because like I said, fresh out the box, it's hard to slide. They're very sticky, the wheels. So let me show you what I do to get them worn in. Let's go. All right, guys, here's how I wear my wheels in. Something like this. Doing that will take off the good side of the wheel that you need to slide on. Because when I do parallels, I slide like that. So by doing this, it takes off the layer. So then you can slide like a G. Bloody litter bugs, man. Put your trash in the bin, guys. Right, guys, so now I've worn them in a bit. I feel like I can slide now because that first layer's off. So check this way. Oh, it worked. So now we've got that out of the way. Now we can do all kinds of slides. Do you know what I mean? Spins left, right, forwards, backwards. Let's go, guys. Let's do a nice, lovely little slide for you now. Boom. Did you all see that? Recycle, guys. Come with me, we found a trick. I'm pretty sure I might have done this before, years ago. But let's see if this old man still got it, yeah? Let's see. Here it is. The trick would be, jump on, use this as a little launch, and clear the rest of it. Easier said than done, guys. By the way, imagine you went into a sauna, you closed the door, and you put your skates on and tried doing tricks. That's pretty much what I'm going through right now. So enjoy the video, guys. At home, when you're not as hot as this. Ooh, when you get older, got to stretch that stomach. Jumping problems. So they are new skates, and I've been skating aggressive skates a lot recently. So it's going to be a bit weird jumping on three 110s, but we'll give it a go. Follow me through the process. And if I fall, don't laugh at me. It's not funny. First little jump on, just to give it a little test. Ooh, I can do it. I'm going to be on an angle, because if I land there, I'm going to smack into that one. So if I come on an angle and just use the corner, I'll just about clear it here and land, landing like there. I've already been paid for this trick today. Someone's already paid me. So pretty much what I make from skating. Okay. I said, don't laugh at me. All right. Oh, that noise scared me. No walking in the air this time. So I did it, but it looks silly. So I'm going to clean it up. One more go. I'm okay. I broke my finger though. Oh, it was clean, but I fell over. Last go, guys. Last go. Yes! Cheers, mate. Shower number two. Pass me the shampoo again, buddy. Nice one, bud, yeah. If you want me, this is where you'll find me. Oh, it's getting my pants. I'm going to refill my water, guys, because it's absolutely boiling. Did I mention that it's boiling? Don't know what that is. They're looking fresh though. Really like these skates. Super comfy, super responsive when you push. Loving them. So lovely. And we go, let's go. Come on then. So I think we're going to do a bit of cruising now, guys. We're going to see how fast they are, because they won 10. So that's what they're made for, really. Tricks and going fast. Sorry about that. Let's go. So like I said, very responsive skates, because they're nice and tight to your feet. So you can just push and push and push. And away we go. See if I can do them all. Let's go. Watch the bench. Yeah, really sick skates for cruising. I skated here this morning. I skated like 40 minutes just to get here before we started filming. And it wasn't even a problem. And I'll probably skate home as well. You know what I mean? All right, guys. See you later. Just left the cameraman, seen a bit rougher. Thanks for filming me. I'm going home. All right, guys. Thanks for watching. It's been emotional. I've had a very fun day with you all. I hope you like the skates. Available now in all good skate shops. And if you want me, this is where I'll be. I'll probably just sleep here tonight. Not gonna move. Very happy with the day. See you later.
