Switzerland has some great talents. You might have seen this already at the Winterclash 2010. Place 1 - 3 in the Amateur Comp were taken by Swiss Rollers. Here we've got two of them (Stephan de Freitas and Diego Guilloud) pushing again the envelope on the streets.

Yesterday (July 8th) the Razors International Pro Team visited the Duisburg-Skatepark for a "Meet and Greet" session. A lot of local rollers came out to skate with Brian Aragon, Chaz Sands, Stephan Horngacher and Edwin Wieringh. But also the German Media (TV and Print) showed to get the current World Champion in front of their lenses.
Anybody still remember the good ol days when Rawlinson Rivera hit Puerto Rico and taught the kids how to royale and unity. I guess they've taken it to the heart.
The first MTG stop was held at an urban lifestyle festival in the south of Holland, near the German border. The location is the Megaland which is in the city Landgraaf. The festival exposes different lifestyles such as: Beat-boxing, Graffiti, Skateboarding, BMXing and of course Rollerblading. Unique at this year's festival is the fact that the Mind the Gap will also host an BMX contest on its setup. Mind the Gap couldnt have a better festival to start this years tour.
On the 4th of July Zach tierce, Taylor Popham, Hunter Harper and Quintin Lamb shredded Memphis. Here is a documentation of the things and tricks that happened during that weekend.
It's easy to find good skaters, it's hard to find great skaters and it's nearly impossible to find great skaters that are determined enough to do A Chosen Few section or profile. These skaters who you will see updates from over the next weeks are all the skaters doing sections or profiles for ACHOSEN-FEW.COM. Each skater was very carefully chosen to do one of these sections or profiles. No skaters section or profile will be released until it has reached the Chosen Few Standard which is set dangerously high. I want every skater who has a Chosen Few section or profile to do something big for their skate career. I also want them to remember this section above all others and make sure that they know if they can conquer a Chosen Few section or profile they can conquer anything.
