What started out as an option for a cheap and efficient form of transportation for the inmates of the infamous Powerhouse in Barcelona, has quickly evolved into a stand-alone branch of Aggressive Skating. Now, a year later you may have noticed these unorthodox looking frames and wheels on display at just about all major shops and retailers. Unorthodox maybe, but only to the eyes of the unengaged. Check out this article and get the low down on the latest trend in blading, or inevitably be passed over by your mates that keep up with the times. And, you better believe they'll be moving fast.
»Sometimes we forget how much fun skating really is. A simple game of „Horse“ with your best friends can leave a far stronger feeling of elation than killing yourself over a trick that you are forcing yourself to do. Don't forget to have fun!«
»Everyone knows aggressive rollerbladers are gangsters. Why would they be called aggressive rollerbladers if they weren’t? Even criminals and dangerous felons aren’t preceeded with the word aggressive. Aggressive Dangerous Felon sounds stupid.«
»A knock on the door preceeded the arrival of everyone's favourite Frenchman, Greg Mirzoyan, rolling with enough luggage and camera equipment to single handedly film the next Harry Potter feature.«
»The next thing I know it's way past midnight and the whole crew is hill bombing drinks deep into the night. I have only been in Barcelona 4 hours and here I am again, straining my eyes against the dark to spot impending doom in the form of cracks, branches or holes.«
While the northern hemisphere is covered in snow these days and street skating mecca California is set afloat by an everlasting monsoon rain, there is this city in the eastern part of Spain that still has some proper street skating going on. We're not sure if it's the mild central European climate that motivates these guys to put out amazing content or if the stuff that they are doing heats up the city. Either way: here's the next chapter of „Enter The Powerhouse“ on Be-Mag. And this time, it has an additional video. If you have no idea what this video is about, you better not waste any more time and click on „MORE“ right away.
The intro to Riot is very well made, even though I think that the snowflakes – or whatever it is – that are flying around the logos of their sponsors are a bit too much. While watching the intro you get a quite nice impression of how Barcelona...
After months of waiting the Powerhouse Home Movies have been released by The Conference. Enjoy a free full length video to end, and officially close the doors to the Powerhouse Studios project. This film is a vintage behind the scenes look at what was happening throughout the filming of the edits you watched coming out of Barcelona all last year. Be sure to go replay your favorite Eisler HD edits from the PHS, and if you want to see the Xsjado crews best tricks keep an eye open for the anticipated Xsjado video later this year.
2011 and the Powerhouse are now just memories in our mind. The Conference and the Powerhouse studios remind us how awesome it was. Here's the fourth and final video installment of the Barcelona Sessions. Shot and cut by Mr. Richie Eisler with music from M83 and Wye Oak.
Mr. Tony Cheetah sent us a message telling us about these lost clips he found on some old tapes.
For one year, I walked and rolled the streets of Barcelona with my vintage VHS-C camera on my shoulder, documenting the Powerhouse Studio and its guests to the fullest. I choose to do this with a traditional style we can all relate to... The analog handheld movies our families once shot of our childhood.
Here is another edit from the Spaniard 'Ivan Malvido' who isn't above tackling the dirtiest and ugliest street spots. Tune in for some sweet shredding.
When not filming other people doing foot maneuvers on their rollerblades, I did my own. -Richie Eisler

Worapoj Boonnim loves Barcelona. And the Barcelona scene loves Worapoj. The Thailand Powerhouse killed it at the new Forum skatepark. The only thing that's missing in this edit is Barcelona's blue sky. Everything else is included: Speed, Bangers and Style!
