When we were filming for the CITYHOPPER film I realized there was a greater potential for the footage we had shot up until then. Considering that more than half of the great shots we had made and good vibes we had documented would not be shown in the finished short skating film, the idea of making an online documentary as well as a 'regular' skating film dawned on me. The idea grew as we were hitting up more and more memorable spots. I thought this concept was just too fresh to go unexplained to the masses. Most rollerbladers, or even BMXers and Skateboarders, can get into the idea of creating more possibilities for themselves by altering the terrain you skate on, though this is not a concept most ordinary people grasp. And why would they? It is not like they 'enjoy' architecture is the same manner as we skating folks do.
Rollerblade rider Jeremy Suarez has been flying under the radar for quite a long time now. We're not sure why that is though. The tricks he pulls at park competitions all over Europe sure aren't the reason for this. Watch out for Jeremy at Winterclash 2012!
Warren is from France and skates for Rollerblade. Two good reasons to ask him how he feels about Winterclash. He also is extremely passionate about Blading. There you have reason three.
Last year Jacob Juul won the Scandinavian Real Street Competition in Copenhagen. The first prize was a plane ticket to Cali and back. My mom works for Cimber Air and I fly cheap, so on a cold December morning at around 6, on our way home from the bar, we decided to go to Cali together for 2 months. I hit up my friend Greg in Long Beach and asked him if he could hook us up with a place to buy a car, and he did. We landed in LAX the 19th of January at 12 am and Greg was in the airport with his homie Robert, waiting for us...
Nicolas Schopfer came in 4th place in the Am division of Winterclash 2011 and will compete Pro for the first time this year. Read on about his memories of bearded friends, the joy of last minute preparations and the urge of "keeping up with friends"...
'The Breakfast Club' is the newest video project out of the Netherlands, aka Holland, or for some people just Amsterdam! That is precisely where the maker of this project is from. We are speaking of Cavin Brinkmann, supported by his sidekick, the no less infamous dog Bobby! Cavin is the dude that you see dancing in those crazy Dutch edits. Do not get the wrong idea though, Cavin is a guy that puts all his energy into what he does. Living in Amsterdam has not made him a drug addict that would abandon skating for a high – skating and filming skating is his high!
