It has been really tough watching Guillaume Roy (owner of Lylac Skateshop) run around town and work his magic to make this competition happen. It makes me proud to be a part of the Montreal Classic. Year after year Danny Laroche and Guillaume Roy continue to organized this amazing event. A lot has changed with the Montreal scene since the very first Classics in 2001.
Kevin is from the same town that I grew up in. I remember the first time I saw him at the local park: right away I knew that this kid had true love for blading! He makes me think of myself when I was his age. Kevin is a amazing person. He is humble, respectful and fun to be around with. And the guy can freaking shred! He skates fast, solid and precise like a diamond. It's really inspiring to see him be so passionate and following his dream to be part of our little community. He has not yet beat me to a game of B.L.A.D.E, but I guess it's cause I don't want to play against him anymore. I would get my ass kicked. Merci Kevin pour tout!
We're back! This week we present to you our second montage for Picture Me Rolling. It features the likes of Mathieu Ledoux, Sean Knight, Luke Porter, Blair Loughhead, Mark Benic and Erik Burrow.
Stephane and I have been friends for 14 years. I know him as much as I know myself. We have been through so much together, kind of like two soldiers that fought side by side, you know? Steph is an extraordinary human being, he is always there for you if you need help or something. I have seen him going through many faces in his life. He is working hard on becoming a better person and seeing that is such an inspiration for me and all the peeps around him. Skating wise...? Well, I will let the edit speak for itself. All I can say is that skating with him is a true blessing in my life. Thanks Stephane for being a brother to me. I’ll see you tonight anyway at the TAZ session!
Besides a few phone calls as of recent, Mathieu Ledoux was much the same to me as many of you out there. A fresh face, with mind boggling new maneuvers. One difference is I in fact had been following Mathieu's skating for a couple of years now. Not knowing anything of him personally. I viewed each section as a fan, and looked forward to the next.
I remember when I first met Charles like 13 or 14 years ago. We got along right away. Since then he has always been one of my favourite dudes to skate with. Mr Nantels skating is raw, filled with style and creative. His passion for everything he does is contagious.
In April Mathieu went to Arizona to meet up with James and Jon (X-Rated) to film for his Revolution 90 seconds edit. Although Mathieu is pretty busy doing stunt work for the new TV show called 'thirteen' he found some time to create an exclusive edit for be-mag uniting some of the clips from the 90 seconds edit as well as some new footage from Montreal. As you might know already, Mathieu is and has always wanted to be a true innovator. Combining his rolling skills with his acrobatic moves taken from his parcouring experience makes him an exception in the field of rolling.
As promised we will host - from today on - the worldwide online premiere of the Task Around 2010 video. Task Around is an annual Canadian freestyle rolling tour presented by Shop-Task. Every year the Shop-Task team tries to capture and promote different locations and freestyle rollers across Canada.
And here comes the next Montreal live update. Guillaume, Thomas and Jeremy working their asses off to deliver some great content. Yes, it's not only one edit, they even decided to make two edits from the BBQ session. Read on!
We have just received the first update from our Montreal correspondent Guillaume Latrompette. Guillaume had a nice session with Quebec's finest Mathieu Ledoux and Kevin Lapierre at the South Park today! An hour later he comes up with that first pre session edit which will make you hungry for the Montreal Classic tomorrow!
Kizer are extremely proud to welcome Mathieu Ledoux to their pro-team. Who wouldn't?
Powerblading goes along with pureblading. The first day on my powerblade set-up felt like home right away. I truly feel like every blader out there should have a powerblade set-up in order to enjoy skating at its fullest. I felt a new kind of freedom with them. I relearned to enjoy skating itself. Just the feeling of rolling around became fun again. I had only 5 days with them for this edit but I know that there are so many things that can be done with these bad boys on. Welcome to this place where the word "Rolling" finds its meaning. Peace! -Mathieu Ledoux
This is the intro for the Fester Team Video. We made it just a Trailer for the whole Video because in real life thats what intro's are. So don't go b*tching about how the tricks here are also in the sections. We had a song picked for the intro for a long time but at the last minute I heard this one and knew it was the right feel for Fester. So, if you like this trailer there is plenty more where that came from, so go out and buy the video. -Nick Wood
Mathieu Ledoux is back! The stuntman and allround talent is going to take a break from work, so he can fully concentrate on skating. So expect some more rolling edits of the Canadian. For now we have this brand new piece for you.

How could I put into words who James Johnson is to me? James is someone that I feel blessed to share experiences on this planet with. A human being that inspires me to better myself. A dude, that I would fly out to Arizona to hang out with, even if I can't skate cause I have a busted shin. Yes, he owns a skate shop. Yes, he has been the back bone of one of the healthiest skate scenes in America. Yes, he has had hundreds of people staying in his home so they could come skate in AZ, but for me James is way more than the sum of what he did or did not. For me, James Johnson is a friend, a brother (even if I am not close to being Native). As for his skating, I will let the 90 seconds speak for itself. -Mathieu Ledoux
