It is known, without question, that New York is one of the most celebrated and active scenes in rollerblading. It has produced a plethora of companies, talented skaters, and competitions that have left a major impact on the rollerblading community. Competitions, in particular, are the one catalyst that I believe really brings people out and draws the blade community closer together people come out to show what they've got and, at times, unconsciously, to support each other, which in turn, unifies the scene as a whole. Young guns and old timers, all age ranges, colors and creeds come out, all for the love of rollerblading. So when I heard that Trevor Johnson was putting together a new street competition in Queens, I was inclined to ask him a few questions and help spread the word. I sat down with Trevor to talk about the need for another street competition, how he got the idea, who he's working with, and more, all resulting in a testament to the fact that New York truly is one of the greatest scenes in the world.
Boston’s skate scene is awesome because we have a good mixture of skaters from all generations. We have a variety of skaters of all ages. Many of the OG’s who took a break are getting back into it and the shop exposes many new faces to the sport.
The first day of part two of the 2012 'Escape from New York Tour 2012' to Boston, MA went off without a hitch. The media team consisting of Ryan Loewy, Dan Fabiano, and myself were already ahead and working to document the trip.
Everybody that watched 'Breakfast' and 'Lunch' sure appreciated the videos for what they were: documentations of incredible blading mixed with a little "Extra". The crew served highly entertaining videos that were spectacular evidence a blade video can – or should be – much more than just skating clips draped to a timeline. Ryan Loewy recently talked to Casey Geraghty, Mark Golembeski, John Lyke and Mike Dempsey to find out what the guys have been cooking up for their sequel video which goes by the name of – yes, you guessed correctly – 'Dinner'. Bon appétit!
David Sizemore has been "good" for some time now, but as you know being good doesn't always make you accepted amongst your peers. I don't think anyone can say just what "it" is that makes you accepted in our culture. Tightness of pants, choice of slang, style of hair, who you hang out with, what your elbow is doing when you land. Styles have changed so drastically since my days as a "youth", I don't really know what's acceptable these days.
We see many video projects coming out these days, rarely do we something solely dedicated to the still frame. Michelle Gerard has been working on a series of photographs, entitled 'The Rollerblading Project' that documents the Detroit rollerblading scene in a rather refreshing perspective. No flash, no wide angles, no "set up" shots; this all can seem limiting but at the same time is a recipe for creating a view point that is new and intriguing. Michelle sat down with us to talk about her current project, her history with photography and, most importantly, her involvement in rollerblading.
Sometimes the best ideas are the ones that hit you spontaneously: In just 3 weeks Jon Julio and crew set up their game plan for 'The Blading Cup' which will take place at the beginning of August in Santa Ana, USA. Ryan Loewy hit up Jon to give you a quick overview of what to expect. The line-up for the comp already reads impressive and the guys managed to plant this event right into the busy festivities that will go down the same weekend in downtown Santa Ana.
Announced just a few weeks ago, the upcoming NYC Street Invite is set to leave a lasting impression. Our contributor Ryan Loewy talked with Billy O'Neill about the new real street competition the best bladers in the industry have been invited to compete in.
Well, the dust has settled and cash has been collected. While we get ourselves together, Ryan Loewy comes through with some photos of the Am contest. Enjoy.
We come to you with more coverage of the Bittercold Showdown 11, this time with a great deal of photographs of the infamous tradeshow. Photos by Ryan Loewy
