Profile
Shop of the year 2009, 2010 and 2011 at the UKRA awards, Loco Skates is a specialist online skate shop in Sussex UK. Our high street store is in Eastbourne, near Brighton on the Sussex coast. Our website, LocoSkates.com one of the most highly regarded UK websites for those who want to buy aggressive inline skates online. The LocoSkates idea arose in early 2004 from the rubble left by the collapse of the late HoldNoHostage skate shop in Gosport. Proudly flying the flag for rollerblader-run stores nationwide, LocoSkates specialises in Inline skates and everything affiliated; filling the void that fashion stores, skateboard shops and non skater-run outfits couldn’t when attempting to sell such a specialist product.
The creative inspiration behind LocoSkates spawned from the mind of long-time UK aggressive skater Jake Eley who continues to run the shop and website today. Jake is best known for his committed involvement in the UK rollerblading industry, for his high profile exposure with K2 skates in the early ‘00’s, British Champion 2002 and more recently for his involvement in media projects involving rollerblading. Jake is also 'UK Legacy' according to the 2010 UK Rolling Awards.
Loco has been a popular resource for the core UK rollerblading scene, regarded highly amongst dedicated skaters across the country for our grasp on what’s current in rollerblading and knowledge of the products sold whilst simultaneously being popular amongst those who are new to the sport for our extremely competitive prices, easy to use web-interface and straight-to-the-point advice. The LocoSkates Skate-team reflects the hardcore dedication of it’s primary customer base and includes some of the world’s best skaters. Nick Lomax (UK Skater of the Year 2009 and 2010 / World champion 2006), Joe Atkinson (UK Am of the year 2010 / AIL WORLD champion 2010), Jenna Downing (Female world champion 2008 / Winterclash 2010 champion), Sam Tuffnell (Slamm Jamm winner 2009 / AIL Pro), Leon Humphries (European Valo team rider / London legend) and Elliot Stevens (Valo, Dirt Box). All riding for Loco for the simple fact that this is the REAL THING, no gimmicks included! Check out our team pages for more on these guys and other Loco representatives.
We are also involved heavily in event sponsorship, tours, contests, media, skater promotion, product manufacturing and generally setting the standard for being the most pro-active skate shop in the UK.
LocoSkates continues to build for the future with ‘skater-run mega-store’ firmly embedded into our master plan. Web sales are up and the birth of a brand new website due in January 2012 and a continued local service that is second to none can only be a catalyst for success!
Thanks to everyone who supported from the beginning. x
