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).
I just got home from a month long trip to Barcelona/China filming for the upcoming Xsjado video. I was not even home for a week then JC asked me if I wanted to go to Columbia. I didn't really want to go at first but after a couple days of thinking it over I decided to go. Here are some of my most recent photos that I took. Don (Bambrick) and I were sent out there to judge a contest and hang with the kids. So here is a look at what Columbia has to offer!
As a pure rolling magazine we are heavily interested in showing you the rawest and best talents in our industry. While you might have seen a dozen edits of these people, you most likely didn't get a chance to take a deeper look into their life outside the rolling aspect.

We decided to kick off this new picture-based format with Jeff Stockwell who has been in the game for more than a decade and has been one of the most influential rollers ever! Jeff sent us some of his favourite shots that open the curtain a bit and will give you a good insight into his character.
