The shop’s been busy since the summer sun showed its unrecognisable face a few weeks back…’tho we did managed to have a catch-up with Ledge star, top friend and great rider Mr Matt Hassall to ask him a questions.
Ledge: OK Matt, we’re gonna start off with the usual questions. How old are ya? Matt: 25 years old
Ledge: And how long you been riding for now? Matt: Well, since I could walk really.
Ledge: Who influences you the most? Matt: When I started out, it was the old skool riders like Joe Rich and Nate
Ledge: And now? Matt: Van Homan and Edwin DeLaRosa.
Ledge: Wicked. So have you always lived in Leicester? Matt: Not always. I had a two-year stint on the south coast in Portsmouth
Ledge: What were you doing all the way down that way? Matt: Being a bum and riding. The guys down there made me take my brakes off.
Ledge: So what is it with no brakes? Matt: It makes the bike look cleaner and you have no option to back out. It’s do or die if you know what I mean.
Ledge: Is it against the law? Matt: Not in a skatepark!
Ledge: Have you ever been arrested? Matt: No but I have had a severe dressing down once.
Ledge: So what do you do for a living? Matt: I’m a cycle coach in schools teaching kids about bike ability. I’m also a photographer.
Ledge: What’s your favourite thing to ride? Matt: The Street
Ledge: How about some of your favourite spots? Matt: Portsmouth is full of great spots. Broadmarsh banks in Nottingham, Leicester Uni and De Montford are all good.
Ledge: What’s your favourite trick? Matt: Heel Clicker. Everyone knows me for that.

The LEDGE skate shop has the largest selection of footwear, skateboards, hardware, and related clothing and accessories in Leicester. We've also got a fantastic range of BMX bikes and hardware, inline skates, roller skates, aggressive skates and much much more!
Our website (www.skatetheledge.co.uk) is still a baby, but our swanky skate shop on Leicester's high-street was established by Rollersnakes in 1986. Tim, who spent 10 years at Rollersnakes establishing relationships with top suppliers across the world, eventually got itchy feet and decided to go it alone. He purchased the Leicester store in 2007, changed the name to LEDGE and Bob's your uncle.
Paul, our Assistant Manager is our in-house BMX expert and has been in the store since 98. We've started to sprout a few grey hairs, but we're still seriously passionate about what we do. More importantly, we're passionate about what you do.
We pride ourselves on friendly, helpful and reliable service. If you're in the area, feel free to pop in to our Leicester store. Otherwise, our website is your oyster (so to speak).
