Every year that the Winterclash goes down it seems like bladers are constantly upping their game. Whether it be the tricks that they've mastered all year to bring to the contest, the creative lines that they are putting together with existing and new obstacles or even how intoxicated they're going to get before, during and after the session. Winterclash is the kick off for the contest season and a glimpse into what 2012 has in store. From what I can gather, the future is looking bright.
Hawke Trackler was responsible for one of Be-Mags official edits covering Bitter Cold Showdown 2012. And he delivered. Check out his piece after the click, complete with the infamous awards!
As an inline skater i've always felt like i'm part of a secret society, and this event is our annual gathering. I feel a natural connection to the fellow skaters that makes me feel at home.
May we present to you the trailer for the se... Wait a minute...? A trailer... for an edit? A trailer for the second Be-Mag BCSD edit before the first one has even dropped? Does this even remotely make sense? And what's with the uber long headline for this post? Is all that really needed? See for yourself...
