Every year we’re stoked to work with some of the best riders in the country. Keep an eye on our blog or facebook page to see who’s coming on your week – but whoever they are, you’ll get to skate all day and night with them – ask them for tips if you want – and hang out with them after skating and smash them on Xbox! Check out some videos and news – from all the riders, past and present of Rubicon Skate Camp.
Kris Vile
Vans \ Volcom \ Redbull, Krux …
Birmingham’s Kris Vile has done it all. He’s won the UK Championships, he’s got a Sidewalk Mag front cover, he’s been in vids like This ‘N’ That and Heel Toe Magic, his skating has taken him to China and New Zealand and he’s got a pro model with Third Foot.
Dave Snaddon
DC Shoes \ Motive \ Venture \ Hubba \ Exist…
One of Bristols finest skaters (and an awesome DJ), Dave has had parts in Savoir Faire, Dimensions and Bristols Finest. His journeys have seen him go to Italy and Ireland and smash comps like Boardmasters and the Shop Riot.
Dave Wallace
Osiris Shoes \ Haze Wheels \ Landing Headwear \ Rufus Skateshop \ Advita \ Karma Co…
A super casual style, arsenal of tricks and crazy habit of never riding regular, Dave took 2nd place in the Full Clip Friday Contest run by Paul Rodriguez – aswell as appearing in edits for Landing, Haze, Osiris and Perfect Blues – and a First Light in Sidewalk Mag.
Adam Keats
Pariah, Skate Warehouse, Third Edition, Vend…
He clocked up a great edit on the latest Pariah team trip to Spain – is a regular face at the NASS and Boardmasters comps – and last year won the Wiltshire Skate Series. Hie also features in the Berrics video – battleground london.
Phil Parker
Converse \ Fifty Fifty \ Pass Port…
Bristol-based Phil has been all over the skate-radar recently with his awesome section in the Perfect Blues DVD, earning a Sidewalk Wallpaper last month with a monstrous frontside wallride and also a fun game of skate edit when Fifty Fifty celebrated 15 f**kin years at the DC Embassy. Always hyped to have him on camp.
Geoff Else
Rubicon \ Tech Deck …
The brains and the brawn behind Rubicon – Geoff has been running camps for almost 10 years now – has without doubt visited more skateparks than anyone else in the country – and without doubt taught more children to ride too. He’s won tonnes of different comps like Something for the Weekend, Fordingbridge and Winchester and even had lunch with Tony Hawks.
James Hewett
Ideal \ Bandit \ Axe …
Brummie ripper Jamie has had a crazy 12 months since we last saw him on Camp – it started off with a great session at Volcom Wild In The Parks, followed by a brutal hall of meat level slam at Flo Skatepark that took him out of action for 3 months, but then he bounced back with a double page spread in Sidewalk Mag, released a sick promo edit, demo’d for a week at The Gadget Show and he’ll be hitting up the Shop Comp for Ideal at the Addidas Skate Copa this weekend! Always a camp favourite with his crazy level of hype!
Craig Smedley
Osiris \ Venture \ Nise…
No introduction needed as you’ve probably seen him in any one of the tonnes of comps he’s bossed it in like Lord of the Lines, Wild in the Parks, Stoke Plaza Palooza, House Jam, Hooked Late Skate Lockin, Conrete Carnival…. just take 5 and enjoy one of his many video parts. Awesome.
Alex DeCunha
Jart \ BBCMK \ Think Culture…
One of the hottest talents going, Alex won the Battle for Aberrica tourstop in London, bagging himself a trip to LA for the Finals. He also won the Stonehouse Jam which got him an invite to the NASS Festival Pro-park finals – and he’s racking up edits at a crazy rate! Without doubt one to watch, as his Sidewalk Mag First Light backed up.
Rico Carmargo
GoFlow \ Sant Jordi…
Colombian rider and London resident Rico is one of the happiest and smoothest riders we’ve met. Before joining us he had a busy year, hitting up The Hangup contest in Norway, the Vert Attack comp in Sweden with some casual riding in Spain, Germany and France thrown in too, not to mention getting heavy in the halfpipe at the VolksWorld show.
More staff profiles coming soon including Felipe Carmargo, Harry King, Alex Hill, Stewart Paton, Zoe Edmunds…
