There are two moments in life where I met Jochen Smuda for the first time. Paradox? Not at all. The very first time I saw him I was watching the Paris Bercy Contest on Eurosport. I was wondering where that kid came from as he was the only German going to the finals altogether with well known pro skaters from all over the world. The first time I met him in real life was in Stuttgart at the DIV German Championships. I don't think we spoke a word but I liked him being focused on rollerblading, no signs of arrogance, ignoring the hype that started after people got to know "Wunderkind" Jochen Smuda. Those are some memories from the 90's, but if I look at Jochen nowadays, he didn't change much. Always in a good mood he seems to be born to entertain people; but besides his funny side, to me he is someone you can ask for help, talk to when an advice is needed, inspiring in so many different ways.
One of Europe's longest running contests, the infamous X-Mas Jam, is taking place in Hamburg Germany next weekend. We talked to organizer Jonn Rübcke to see what we can expect from this years event and also how he plans to take the whole thing even further this year. Two days, competitors from all over Europe and 3000 € in prize money. This is going to be big!
„Back to the roots!“ is this years Winterclash mission statement and so is ours! As we did it with the last rollTogether in Eindhoven, we are going to host another session right before the famous Winterclash! So Area51 will not only host one of the biggest competitions but also the biggest session within less than a month!
UCON never ceases to amaze us with each new line. Recently we met them at Winterclash where they talked about their ideas, what has changed and where they are heading. Oh, and they also showed us all their new goods! We were, of course, really impressed with the huge new line and all the detailing and extra work they put into their products. UCON is definitely on another level with their collection, their focus on quality and their constant push to include their ideas with each new latest line. Enjoy some some pics of the new line below along with a quick interview we did with Jochen for the launch of this line. -Michael Bayr

Life is great. Ups and downs here and there like everybody, but I am really happy with how things developed lately. I just love Berlin and everything the city has to offer. I am very happy I took that step about 2 years ago.
Just in time for the cold season their new line hits the shelves with some amazing custom sewn garments that make you proud to be a rollerblader.
We sat down with Jochen from Ucon to discuss their latest web clip for Ucon and the recent developments with Ucon. Check out their latest high end clip they made for their clothing line.
Ucon just released their catalog for 2008/09. Some of the best rollerbladers are presenting their clothing in the new catalog. Vinny Minton, Jeff Stockwell, Erik Bailey, Cosimo & Albert Hooi just to name a few. Looks a little bit like the yearbook of rolling...
The guys at UCON have been featured on Modeblock.com, a German/Austrian website which main focus is fashion. You'll probably have a hard time reading anything because it's all German, so we suggest you just look at the photos or watch the video. Which is... also in German. But it looks cool. So does some of the gear featured in it. Just a couple of weeks till UCON releases their new line for Spring/Summer 2012!
On January 21st 2012 the 18th RollTogether was held in Mühlhausen, Germany. Check out the edit covering this session which was attended by Germany's finest bladers. Hit play and enjoy!
Jochen Smuda is one of the founders of the streetwear brand UCON and an ex pro rollerblader. The Lomo Diana Mini and LC-A+ had the honor to accompany him for the last months through day and night, over hill and dale, everywhere at any time. Read more about Jochen in this interview and browse through his amazing pictures!
Not sure if anyone really needs to be encouraged to cop some UCON gear but... Well, let's put it this way: the more quickly the guys move their old stock the earlier we'll get to see the new line. And you know you want to see the new line badly...

Some of you might have seen or heard of it already and for some of you this might be a big surprise.
