Introducing: Schaeffer McLean

Schaeffer first came to our attention back in August '08 when his mum, Eve, e-mailed Route One with some links to videos of her then 4 yr old son, skating. And wow, can he skate! After absolutely no consideration at all, we got in touch and offered him sponsorship, as his enthusiasm and love for the sport is above and beyond anything we would have expected to see from someone of his age.


Schaeffer is a busy lad, always travelling to skateparks with his Mum, he's been to our warehouse and had a skate with Andy Makepeace, (R1 Team Rider) and also went along to the Jib-Vid event in Bristol, to name just a few things he's been up to over the last 5 months.
The crowning achievement was his trip to the King of the Groms 2008 competition in California, where he became the FIRST EVER UK entrant into the competition!

So we at Route One would like to introduce Schaeffer as an official Route One Team Rider! Watch this space as this kid will get better and better!
