The West Side Comp was the last competition of the Polish Rolling League before the grand finals which take place in October in Warshaw. Read more of what went down at Poznan's Island Skatepark that day! And don't miss the edit!
From around the world, 21 men and one woman ages 30 and up, answered the call for submissions to be a part of a just-for-fun online skate edit on the Be-Mag Msgboard. Embracing all disciplines (from street to vert) and skill levels, this edit is a 9:30 minute long journey of the unexpected, which proves once and for all that you are only as young as you feel.
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!
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!
Make sure you check out the final piece of the Hedonskate Silesia tour coverage. Even if you haven't watched the first 4 edits you should definitely check this one out. You might as well want to catch up with the previous ones. Piotrek, Nils, Prezemek. Do we need to say more?
After a great start with a succesful contest and good photo session which went down during the first two days of the tour, the 'Lady Nature' wasn`t so charitable – as a result our venture could be named "Rain tour". Since monday it was pouring rain constantly...
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!
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.
I will be just repeating myself by writing that this youngster has mad skills, raw talent and an awesome brother who is a professional video editor which as we all know is crucial to get some good recognition. Yet even the best conditions for developing a rollerblading 'career' are nothing without your own will and love for the sport. Nils has both, there is no doubt about it. While I have to remind some of our team riders to send some clips or photos from time to time, Nils is bombing my e-mail box constantly with new stuff by himself. I'm sure he would be ripping with the same level even if he wouldn't have any sponsors or outside support. During tours Nils is always skating no matter what – bad spots, good spots, skate alone or with a large group of people – no problem with that. As he has just matured, a true rollerblader soul is fully awaken – skate hard and party even harder! I'm sure he is the right man in the right place - Nils Jansons is 18. Nils Jansons is in constant progress. Nils Jansons is the future...
This box is the only decent skateable thing in my hometown, so it seemed like best place to try the new skates. I've put my camera on the tripod and here you can see the result after 30 minutes of skating...
Check out this sweet edit of the Hedonskate Working Crew filmed and edited by Dirk Oelmann.
Sebastian Gruba just had a closer look on the Kaltik Flat frames, this is his review. There also is a quick edit.
Radek Kojtych, Przemek Madej, Mateusz Radziszewski, Nils Jansons, Martins Jansons and Sebastian Gruba went on a skate-trip to Riga. Besides some good park-skating, the edit also shows that the Polish skaters are not afraid of tackling some grimy spots that require a bit of creativity! Nice trip!
