27/9/2011 Whats been happening? 

So it's been a while since we had an official update. The work Emma did really pushed us forward to complete tasks we had planned for a while. Our site has been given boost by updating the Team page with all our sponsors. It's early days still and we look forward to working with them all at various events.

The store is looking more and more polished with multiple improvements made. We have corrected the images that looped, added a zoom tool to see the super sharp detail and some cool slideshows on the home pages. To get back to the less technical side, we would like to thank various helpers along the way. Our photos were done on two seperate shoots; the main product shots were in the hands of Jonathan Fleetwood and Naomi Broadway and the skate and surf location shoot was performed by Kelly Hogan. A big thank you to these guys, all of whom have there seperate sites on our Link page (at the bottom of the page).

There will probably more to say later today or tomorrow

27/9/2011 Goodbye intern :( 

Alas the time has come to write about the loss of our intern, granted it's a little late. Emma did an awesome job during the 6-8 weeks she worked with us. We hope that she succeeds with everything she does in the future and maybe even get to work with her some more too.

5/5/2011 In the News today... 

OK. So here goes... lots to cover. Having been so quiet in the past few months, we promise we haven't been slacking too much. A bit of a re-jigg of sorts means this news page will cover the entertainment side of the company with the blog focausing more on the technical and company based attributes.

CLOTHES -

Firstly we welcome our new line of 90's inspired clothes that can be found at our store. A mixture of high contrast colours and super masseeaaave prints! Should be awesome to see in the clubs and on the streets!

STOCKISTS -

We have begun our journey into retail domination recently having signed to stock the brand in a number of local sports shops across the South. Because of our decision to focus on where we came from, where better to begin stocking our items than the South Coast, our birth place! One store we will be in is H2O. They stock everything form casual wear to wetsuits to sporting equipment and can be found here.

SPONSORS -

We made an update to our Riders page that has also had a rename. Come meet TEAM L&R!!! To add to Boyd, our paddle boarder, we now have a dance crew (SHAKE), a cross-country runner (MATT), some surfers (WAVE RIDERS) and a free running team (PURE PRECISION). We hope over the coming months we will have many updates from these guys so keep your ears to the ground and eyes on the site (an improbable feat to be honest...).  

EVENTS -

We recently showed up at Christchurch Skate Jam, Boscombe Surf Fest and the Southern Hip Hop Championships with SHAKE. Hopefully we'll have some pics up soon  so you guys can see what we got up to. All that to come and a big piece on SHAKE too so look for more updates soon. Also the blog will have a few new words added. It's all getting exciting...

1/11/2010 Making Ads with our mate Brads...

So we are now live with the store kids! And to push this we needed advertising.

Well, we have cut a deal to have half page ads in some key UK extreme sports mags ergo we needed some ads made. Enter our very own puppet on a string, our dancing monkey if you will...

Some say he is the reason the Mona Lisa smiles and that if you tempt him with a family bucket of chicken, he will back flip the great wall of china... without a run up. We know him as Brad Hicks General Nuisance!!

For the concept of the ad we had a short time frame to work within. Therefore we needed to do a spur-of-the-moment NIGHT SHOOT. Some of the entertaining scenes can be viewed to the right.

Well at least we got the job done. Eventually...

30/10/2010 Meet Brad!!!

It's all happening right now and to add to the many things going on, we have a mascot to share the work load here at L&R HQ. Meet our mate Brad Hicks: General Nuisance. A fun loving guy who we hope you'll come to admire as much as we nearly do! Right off the bat, he showed his enthusiasm for joining the L&R Team by showing his unique skills on the basketball court. Check out this genuine first take of Brad in action...
