BLADEHOUSE ATHENS 9 | EVENT REPORT
The evening before I was due to go on my first-ever trip to Athens earlier this year in January, I realized I had no idea what the aggressive inline scene was like there. I happened to be at Bay 66 skate park, London when someone told me, “I heard there’s a Bladehouse in Athens, and they have an amazing annual competition.” I was headed to the Greek capital for three months. Naturally, I was ecstatic to hear that there was a Bladehouse happening (an institution the Athens rollerblade scene gravitates around), complete with a rooftop skatepark and a mini ramp in the kitchen...

WINTERCLASH 2023 | SNAPSHOTS OF A COMMUNITY BY MATTHEW JASTRZEMSKI
Since moving from the US to Europe in 2016, every February up until the pandemic years, I packed my camera, skates, and a few days worth of clothing to make my way to Eindhoven for Winterclash. To be honest with you, I don't go to watch skating or even skate myself (of course I do both). I go for the community.
WINTERCLASH 2023 | JEFF SPÖRRI CAPTURING DAY 2 & 3
This Winterclash came with a lot of surprises. The biggest to me was how much talent there was at the juniors [level]. Not to mention, I’ve never seen so many bladies at in a skate park. [To] see how many girls and woman skate, makes me wonder if Jojo should think about extending [Winterclash] one day longer to fit all the heats. Same for the AMs; there were soooo many heats and talented skaters competing...

SOUTHPORT JAM 2022 | EVENT REPORT
The idea of SPT Jam came about after we started a fundraiser to resurface the local skate park. We secured £18,500 from the council. After seeing the fresh wood, I approached the council about showing off the work in some way. I suggested some form of [skate] jam and they loved the idea.
