Last December Michael Kraft and I, friends from Be-Mag’s msgboard, embarked on 'BuddyTour'. I brought a new tiny HD video camera to film an edit of our skate adventures, and Michael brought a new tiny laptop to write his thoughts on many aspects of his experience with the trip. What came of it was a twenty-minute edit accompanied by a lengthy essay with elements of drama, heartbreak, rollerblading history, and drunken shenanigans not to mention plenty of undocumented great times with various buddies of ours in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee.
Blading needs more shops. When's the last time you tried on a pair of skates at an actual skate shop? Yes, not many have the opportunity to pick up their goods like that. But it isn't only a matter of over-the-counter experience that may (or may not) include professional advice on what to get; local shops literally "make" scenes. This is only one of the topics that are discussed in this Company Profile with Roc City Skates out of Rochester, NY. Others being dedication and love for the sport, entrepreneurship, permits and a certain unnamed jerk. Read on.
What follows is excerpts from a 30 page essay I wrote about Ian's and my mini-tour in December 2010. I've excluded some important, memorable events for brevity's sake involving Toy Story 3, a penis-obsessed Olympic athlete, Mike Lilly, and somebody pepper-spraying a sandwich. It is partly about rollerblading, but mostly a journal I kept while I was traveling. There are a few manipulations of time, but nothing drastic. Some paragraphs were literally copied and pasted out of context so it's not the most cohesive, fluent writing style. Deal with it.

This weekend I attended the "Thrill" premiere hosted by Jon "X-rated" at Jessie's Shop. Jessie is is a cool motherfucker who skates and always and always hosts the best shindigs. I have to tell everyone that when I walked in, I was sadly one of the only people there that wasn't drunk...
The rollerblading industry has seen a fair share of failed companies. Brands seem to appear from nowhere with a glamorous advertising campaign and great media speculation, then they simply dissolve within a few months of conception. If you require evidence of such occurrences, you need only look at companies such as Joe Navran’s Project Blow or Arlo Eisenberg’s Super Computer Robots...
ace the Music is the first Roces team video. With the new image of the company there also needs to be something done to promote it to the masses. And what would do the job better than a DVD? The cover and the main menu fit the M12's, they are simple but functional and stylish.
Some of you might have heard of this already, now it's official. Check out the press release!
