This week …USS & Catalyst started working together in order improve upon what has been there for over 15 years! Catalyst has been know for it’s CORE surfing roots grounded in sunny San Clemente, Ca. and Melbourne Bch. & …USS for it’s unique Surf & Skate hardgoods mix (in city full of heavily duplicated corporate stores). There’s no question that …USS was overdue for a face-lift if it was to become the best shop it could be. From computers to more inventory, you should see the changes right away. Catalyst brings a lot to the table in order to make this happen, as the new owners and employees are veterans “in it” for the right reasons.
As the previous owner of …USS, I will remain at the stores and help facilitate the changes to make the shop better than ever. I’m excited with everything we have planned for our customers!!! We will continue to break away from dupliated Mall Stores and “wanna-be” shops that are run from corporate offices, as we have always been “Core”, not Corporate.

Here is a nice little montage that all can enjoy. Colorado is chock full of delicious skateparks. Watch as USS veterans Derek Percoski, Andrew Nedimyer, Jason Nedimyer, and guest skater “MAD” Chad Robertson destroy all the perfect parks. Makes you want to move out West, right? To get an even better tast of Colorado’s skate-scene go here.
First off, sorry to all for the late post. Seeing that we didn’t get to film much on Go Skate Day, this little montage wasn’t being anticipated by too many. Anyways, USS wanted to give a little back to the community this past eleventh of June. We decided to pack up the grill and coolers, the p.a. (which the City of Oviedo was supposed to provide, but didn’t), some free product to give away, and as many Lost Energy Drinks that anyone could ever want/need, and head down to Oviedo Skatepark for a best trick contest. We showed up and all the usual shop lurkers were there to show some support. After everyone warmed up (as if it wasn’t hot enough already), we decided to kick off the best trick contest. Our plan was to have several on different obstacles throughout the park. We started on the Euro-Gap, and before we could finish and start on the next obstacle, it started to rain! Whoda thunk? So we declared the winners of the Euro-Gap Best Trick, fired up the grill, and threw out some free product. The kids didn’t seem to mind seeing that they got a free shirt and were buzzed off of the multiple energy drinks they had consumed in the past hour. Hopefully next year we can get a little more done, until then here is a little video of what we got accomplished. Skaters appearing in video: Shawn Butler, Sean Boyle, Ben Heath, Garrett Miller.
David Kahn just got back from Woodward with some new tricks under his belt. Check out Dave’s new ones at Woodward, and watch him incorporate them into Oviedo Park’s street course.
Just got back from a quick excursion to Killadelphia and NYC. To see a blog of the trip go here. Later!
david has been around oviedo quite a while now. after years of lurking around our shop, his loyalty has paid off. here’s some recent footy of david ripping some local orlando spots. there is no doubt he has matured from the “river-rat” he once was, to the skater you see before you. welcome on board, dave.
This Saturday June 21st is ”go skate day” , and USS will be hosting a “get-together” at Oviedo Skatepark from 11-4. We’ll be giving back to the kids that support us, by handing out hot dogs, drinks, and a bunch of swag (tees, hats, stickers…) We’ll be throwing down a few bigger prizes for “best-trick” on a few of the obstacles as well. From my understanding the park is reducing it’s rates for the day and bringing out a large PA for music (don’t worry we’ll take care of that). This is the first year the parks recognized the national holiday, so make sure to come out and show support, so it will go off even bigger next year! let’s ride…
