Lucas Landthaler: One Minute, One Spot

One Minute, One Spot
I know lucas since he was a little kid and I met him every winter in a skatehall in ulm. Since that time he grew up and became a real man. Now he drives a big old mercedes benz and is the safest and fastest rollerblader I know! Draw the curtain for the Grindhouse teamrider Lucas Landthaler.

The Chosen Few Finals are now being known as one of the most difficult competitions around. We're not going to lie about that either. Our finals will always be an intense and challenging competition.

Blast from the Past: Matteo Attanasio

History Lesson
I can’t really remember how long we know each other... But at the time we first met, Matteo was the only German skater with good style. Sorry, that's how it was. He has always been a soul skater. And a playboy on wheels. He wanted to end his pro career at a very young age to skate just for the fun of it. He wanted to have sessions and to travel without any obligations to skate at a contest. Crazy ass dreamer, you say? But guess what: that is what he did! And until now he remains as the first of a complete generation of soul skaters I have met. He is now working on putting this into picture.
