The third weekend of October was a moment many Polish skaters were waiting for. As some of you may know, this year all the biggest skatepark competitions in Poland were linked together to form an official Polish Rolling League. Top skaters were working hard to show up at every stop and place high, so they could gain points for the overall ranking. The main organizer, Green Association, co-operated together with the Polish Federation of Roller Skating, which meant that the winners of the league could be titled as the official Polish Champions in Aggressive In-line Skating. Not to mention the prizes, which were good enough to motivate skaters for their highest performance.
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!
Lublin is a moderate-sized city in eastern Poland, a place you probably never heard of. But last week something notable happened. Yet another great get-together for Polish rollerbladers, the fourth edition of our annual competition called East Side Jam.
There are few bladers from Poland that are known internationally – Piotrek Combrzynski is one of them. Super humble and quiet as a person yet a beast as a rollerblader. As a teenager he polished his skills at many skateparks in Europe just to bring them to the street now and amaze us with his solid style, confidence and consistency. Piotrek is one of those people who makes session really fun and amusing, he will always come to you after you land anything and give you props! After a long brake in 2010 caused by the collar injury, Piotrek made a smooth come back with his Bristol edit (made by Canislatrans) and now, thanks to Be-mag, you will have a chance to get more insight into Piotrek's past, present and future!
On 26/03/2011, the fourth edition of Never Winter Jam competition has taken place at "Legnicka" skatepark in Wroclaw. This contest was the first (out of six consecutive contests in 2011 season) to open Triada Polish Rolling League 2011, the official polish Aggressive Inline Skating Championships!
We are proud to release Be-Mag print issue 37. Once again we have taken a trip throughout the world to capture the best of skating worldwide. We started off in Australia with a CJ Wellsmore interview showcasing the Australian powerhouse. CJ Wellsmore took the WRS crown for 2010 and you can be sure that he will make waves again this year. For Europe, we only chose to portray one of the skaters that has been around for a few years, Sven Boekhorst, who constantly shows a true dedication for skating. In the USA we caught up with Kevin Yee, who shared his inspirational thoughts with us. In Europe we packed a van and toured through Italy with some of Europe's finest. Then we decided to show you how skating has been developing in Poland, where vast areas of old industrial production facilities are empty and open for the rolling heart. And last but not least we covered the WRS Finals, the SDSF competition and the FISE.
The Polish Rolling League finals just went down at the Kamuflage skatepark in Warsaw this past month. Check out some pics by Piotr Glodzik and a dope edit by Adam Hofbauer. Poles are the new Swiss.
Przemek Górczyk is an up and comer from Wroclaw. He is one of the Hedonskate Young Gun riders who finally gets some exposure. The scene in Wroc?aw has always been quiet, yet with the arrival of Wiktor Kwapisz and his camera, the local rollers have a good chance to present their skills. Przemek got our attention by winning the Never Winter Jam amateur contest back in 2009 and proved himself with good actions in 2010 like a sick profile in Sisiloco DVD and edits like this below. Przemek belongs to the new generation of bladers in Poland - skilled and strongly willing to take his passion one step further - watch out for this Hedonskate Young Gun in future!
This sping I had the great chance to visit Poland and the production facilities of the Rat-Tail Europe Lines in Katowice. Since I had never been to Poland before, I decided to extend my trip for some days.
The summer was super busy for Hedonskate Team – we had two big tours: one through Sweden and the one through Romania. Since the whole Hedonskate Team consists of 15 people we had the possibility to send different riders to all the trips. Yet we felt it was way too long that we hadn't had a gathering of a complete team in one place so we thought about another adventure – this time a more relaxed one with no hurry and deadlines, more focused on getting photos for the upcoming 2011 Hedonskate calendar and getting the crew together.
A little compilation of some clips shot during the last 2 years. The locations are in France, Spain, Poland, Holland, Switzerland, USA, China, and England. Enjoy!
This park edit is the result of only three days of filming with Lukasz Malewski at local skateparks.
This is a rollerblading documentary by Witalis Szumilo Kulczycki about Polish rollerbladers who went to the UK in search of a better life, money, maturity, and adulthood. Not only the search is common for the documentary characters, but also the passion of rollerblading that helped them to withstand everyday struggle as Polish emigrants.

After some time away, Slipklip is back. Episode 8 starts off with well know Polish blader, Adam Zurawiecki, being interviewed. Then, Radek Kojtych tells us a little bit about some filming basics while Kuba Urbanczyk teaches us the way of the photographer. If you like hilarious epic fails then you will love Dawid Niemczyk's section. Of course, (as if you'd expect anything less), there's a ton of killer skating going on all throughout. It is the last episode for this season, so make sure you don't miss it.
The Witalis Szumilo Kulczycki's documentary film was officially selected as the first film in Poland to be screened on public transport interior displays. Diveded into episodes the documentairy is being played 24 times a day and every episode is on air for two weeks. Broadcasting since September 10th until the end of December 2011 this is a powerful tool to inform people about the essence of action sports with over 16 million views in the big cities. It's a great way to spread awareness of those who risk their lives in order to get away form everyday struggles and this way share their passion amongst themselves and those unaware of such risky lifestyles.
