Setup & Music Session: Oli Benet - 06/12/26

What kind of clothing do you like?

Clothing? Non-tight, non-baggy jeans, you know, like the type that fit without showing of your nuts or that look like you have a Hummer stashed somewhere in there? Size M STYGMA T shirts, Sifikas till death, and some
smarty-ass jacket..

What is your current setup?

Deshi Kicks 3 Bloody Mary with Stock Sifika liners, Sean Kelso Element prototypes, old TRS soulplates, and some of my Undercover wheels. Conference through to the socks.

Im always just switching soulplates, I like to try anything. I like them all for different reasons. Usually I switch between Xsjado soulplates, Legacy soulplates and TRS soulplates, depending on what tricks im in the mood for. Legacy are the best for torque tricks and switchups, Xsjado are pretty much all round smooth and TRS are just way too addictive for backslide tricks...that's part of the reason I love Deshi too much, never a dull day.

What is the influence of rolling in your life?

Rolling I think is underapreciated even by rollerbladers. It is pure freedom, liberty...skates are the closest thing to wings as you can get on the ground. A combination of freedom and beauty, agression and expresion, a release from stress and anger, a way of conquering fear and the sensation of being able to do something hardly anyone else in the world can, we truly are blessed to be able to experience something that almost no other activity can match, including the over-rated orthopedic sport of skateboarding.

What is the influence of music in your life?

Music, and in particular drum and bass is as important to me as rolling. It is pure adrenaline, it is a high and it is the sound of elation. I have been listening to dnb or its variations including jungle and hard house all of my adult life, and it is something that enhances ones life. How much does a film depend on its music? Take the music out of the greatest films of all time and you are left with a hollow shell. The same can be said of life. Music is food for sensations. Lately I have been experimenting with my own productions and as an MC in various clubs in Barcelona.
