Apparently, the Canadian rollers like to combine different disciplines. Here we are talking again about rolling and parkour. Shop task owner Leon Basin from Vancouver simply explains his rolling style by quoting Friedrich Nietzsche: "You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."
Some months ago Leon Basin (owner Shop Task) sent us a One Minute Spot edit. Since he really like the concept he just finished his second "One Minute One Spot" edit that he would like to share with the world. Leon always tries to find new ways to improve his skating. Here in this edit he takes again a different approach combining his rolling skills with some parcouring elements. A great watch.
This spot is a school well known to most local skaters, its on 17th and Windsor in the heart of the city. There has been some recent pressure washing off wax activity here which may lead to capping, so I thought I should get some clips before the school becomes unskateable. This place is like a little skatepark, there are tons of ledges, some decent lines, weird shit in the front, and a guardrail that we cut the middle support of to skate the rail. This was shot on Sunday August 22, 2010 on a cloudy and sunny day in the always beautiful city of Vancouver.
As promised we will host - from today on - the worldwide online premiere of the Task Around 2010 video. Task Around is an annual Canadian freestyle rolling tour presented by Shop-Task.

With this One Minute One Spot edit we want to take the chance to introduce you to the person in charge of Shop Task (Skateshop in Canada): Leon Basin. The Israel native is not only good at pushing Rollerblading in Canada through his Rollerblade-Shop. He is more than that. Leon has been rollerblading more than half of his life and has been an inspiration in terms of Rollerblading for a lot of people that skate with him. Even though Leon is a pretty busy man since he also recently opened a Shop-Task store front in Downtown Vancouver he still found some time to film some extraordinary stuff for be-mag. Peep it!
Half way through the 7th grade, a new kid arrived at my school in a town of about 1300 people. For what ever reason I can't recall, I took it upon myself to sit near and strike up a conversation with him. One of the first things I remember him say...
If you really think about it, rollerblades are silly. But thankfully there are people who discover a piece of their spirit in these wheeled boots... and they get hooked. Rollerblading is lucky that Todd got hooked (and so am I). Although it's difficult to pinpoint what sparked Todd's lifelong interest in skating, I've often had a theory that rollerblading gave Todd something that he couldn't find anywhere else. There's nothing silly about that...
We were given the opportunity to watch this edit before it was released. Then we lost the password and couldn't watch it again. Bummer. Thankfully it's public now for everyone to see. Buffering.
Joey Mc Garry unsually takes another approach to rolling. Recently he went out again just by himself to shred a skatepark. Check what came out of this!
Canadian Rollerblader and Be-Mag contributor Aj DeLong is also deep in the skiing world. We recently featured a skiboarding edit of AJ. This edit now got nominated for best Pro Edit of the year.
Leon Basin put some big ol' wheels on his Xsjado Avants and took them for a spin at the park. Looks like he's had some fun. Peep edit!
Recently we put up an exclusive story with Israel's native Leon Basin. He described his section by quoting a paragraph from Nietzsche: "You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."
They declared it as leftovers. We are not sure about this. But one thing is for sure: You will see more about Tommy Chung's rolling talent in 2011.
Tommy's another under rated (internationally anyways) blader from Vancouver. Check out some old footage of him from Barn Burner. Tommy Chung at BarnBurner 2010 from Grom Squad Media on Vimeo.
Jonathan Craig has visited Vancouver and joined the Grand Opening of the Shop-Task Shop. Here you can see him shredding one of Vancouver's skateparks with local Shawn Adair.
Shop Task is getting a storefront in DownTown Vancouver. This weekend is the GrandOpening. Read the letter we got from Aj DeLong who is helping out Leon with the Skateshop Opnening session.
I am very exited to announce that on July 1st shop-task will be moving to a nice little retail shop in downtown Vancouver. Shop-Task has been in business for 5 years now. Starting from scratch, we quickly became Canada’s leading freestyle...
