5 questions with Dre Powell.
Are you as excited about the new Ground Control video as we are? You probably should be. For over a decade Ground Control have been leading the pack in frame design and have become a staple in the rollerblading community. In order to commemorate the videos release we’ll be giving away three free copies in a prize raffle!
We've heard about the enthusiasm of the Colombian rollers from the pros who have visited Bogota before us and the articles/edits they made of their trip. When we passed the airport exit the love was overwhelming. Dozens of bladers from all over the country were there to welcome us and a number of them spent the evening with us. The food is good here, it tastes healthy and natural, and the good local beers got us lightheaded quickly since we are in a big city nested on a plateau at 8000 feet high somewhere in the Andes.
How often have you ruined your favorite jeans while out skating? If you're anything like, we're sure that it has happened plenty of times. Charlotte resident Will Fisher got tired of this problem and took the opportunity to start 'Bulletprufe Skate Denim', a company that manufactures jeans exclusively designed to meet the demands of street skaters. We checked in with Will to find out what the deal is with the company and if his jeans are in fact "tough as nails, soft as butter". We also asked Bulletprufe team rider Daniel Prell if his grandma approves of his new jeans.
Be-Mag East Coast Ambassador Sam DeAngelis is currently visiting California to poach in new territories. His first hunting ground was Poway Skate Park and he managed to get some pretty rare wildlife on camera that night. Peep edit!
It was a beautiful hot sunny day August 6th in Santa Ana California where the 2011 Blader Cup all went down. Pro skaters and dedicated participants flocked from all around to condone in such a glorious event located on the historic 4th st. business marketplace in southern Orange County. The skater's busted their asses off all day for the top prize of $3000, but in the end only one pulled through and took the grand prize (Brian Aragon).
Isaac Larios has visited the Blading Cup 2011 in Santa Ana California yesterday to capture some of the world's best rollerbladers. Have fun skipping through the photos. Congrats to Brian Aragon for winning the competition. Edits of the comp will follow shortly.
This past week we were given the opportunity to go to Woodward West and have an official Razors Week in the mountains of Tehachapi, California. During the week Dre Powell, Julian Bah, Rachard Johnson, Erik Rodriguez and myself were all able to be in attendance. For many years the name “Woodward” has been associated with great skate parks and a summer destination for extreme athlete enthusiasts. Growing up I never had the opportunity to experience the camp aspect of Woodward, it was not until I turned pro that I was able to visit the facility and enjoy everything they had to offer.
Some of you may already have heard about Rollfest – the annual gathering that brings polish rollerbladers together during one summer week at seaside resort Triocity. This year we celebrated the 10th anniversary of this crazy event which was special in every possible way. Since 2009 Rollfest was able to serve as a gathering for even more participants due to the Baltic Games festival, which is treated as the climax of the Rollfest. I can easily say that's the biggest and most prestigious skatepark contest throughout the year. With attendance of bladers as Alex Broskow, Erik Bailey, Fredrik Andersson, Alex Burston, Dre Powell, Nils Jansons, Mark Wojda, Fritz Peitzner, Josh Glowicki, Scott Quinn or Dominik Wagner – just to name a few – you can be sure to expect a show of highest levels!

All healed up and ready to go, Winston is in the streets of San Clemente almost every day he can to film for the upcoming Razors vid. He's been skating so much in fact, that his hard drive is overloaded with clips from last year, so he had to sit down with his buddy, Alejoh, and put a little something together to keep us up to date on his skating.
