The Ledge Tradeshow was back at the London Olympia earlier this week, which had brands from the world over heading into town to show off next seasons products, drink dangerous amounts of Stella and interfere with lit candles (don’t ask).

Osiris brought back their extended mini ramp for another hectic comp on the Monday afternoon, which ended with Denis Lynn going turbo and taking first, Chris Oliver coming in a close second with some channel stupidity, and Jak Tonge sleepwalking his way into third.

Check the footage from the afternoon now, featuring Denis, Chroliver and Jak, alongside Jake Collins, Rob Smith, Helena Long, Lois Pendlebury, Phil Zwijsen, Josh Young, Nicky Howells and more.
