Based in the Portsmouth area, Denis has ridden for many years at the highest level, traveling all over the world with Team Extreme. Denis is the 2000 King of Concrete and was also the star of the Busted music video 'And You Said No'.



	Danny Aldridge - Inline Skater Danny is one of our superstars, having been with us since the age of 10. Now 20 (and about 8ft tall) Danny has advanced to be an incredible and unique skater. Whether he is pulling 7ft high airs on the mini ramp, landing on the back rail of a ramp then somersaulting off the back, or plain launching out of the show arena with a massive front flip, Danny NEVER fails to amaze! Danny comes from Bognor Regis and held the under 15 UK inline skating title for two years in a row and placed 3rd in Pro at the 2005 UK Nationals.



	Mike Edwards - Skateboarder Mike is our Welsh Champion halfpipe skateboarder with 20 years of skating experience.

	Ben Wallace - BMXer Ben is the UK's No.2 BMXer at the young age of 21. Ben appeared from nowhere and within a few years has annihilated the competition with his natural ability to make any trick he tries. He invented the barrel roll and the double downside tailwhip and last year pulled a triple tailwhip to win the 2007 FISE dirt contest! Other competition results include: 2nd in Pro at the Suzuki Masters, 2nd Urban games, 2nd NASS '06, 1st British Champs '06 and countless others.
