The Shoreditch Showdown last week absolutely went off! Great crowd, amazing atmosphere and some seriously sick riding.

One of the dudes holding it down at the centre of things was Andy Nudds. Recently signed to O’Neill, Nuddsy was riding this as his first comp for the brand. We decided to send a film crew to tail him throughout the day, and see how he got on.

Nuddsy’s never been the uh… most vocal of blokes. He probably smokes more than he chats, but that’s cool, cos his riding’s always done the talking – or in this case, the shouting loud from the fuckin’ rooftops.

That unfortunate stack in the finals aside, he was one of the the most consistent riders on the night, and with his big bag of tech tricks and eye for interesting lines, he was a contender for a podium spot right up until the end.

All in all, a pretty good day for the man. O’Neill, you’ve got a keeper here…
