The infamous BE-MAG /Rollerblading magazine

The Rolling Foundation Contest Circuit (RFCC) is starting the New Year with a bang: During the grand opening of the new Escondido skate park on Jan 7th, the RFCC will host THE Game “US vs The World”: The best skaters from all over the world will battle the best skaters from the US for the title of the world champion.

The goal of the game is to score points by matching the tricks of the other team. The team with the most points after 8 rounds wins. Rules such as a skater can only skate once per round or can only do the same trick once per game require strategy and create drama and excitement among skaters and viewers.

The international team took the lead with hardcore brazil doing a fakie backflip. Non of the US team could answer to that, but Aaron Fienburg took the challenge. Having never done the trick, Aaron took one attempt and bailed. The 2nd attempt was a success, but fell @ the end. The US didn’t get the points, but Aaron took a unofficial 3rd attempt for street credit that he could hold it down.

Chaz San answered to Frankie Morales’ soyale to top soyale to 270 top soyale.

Bailey did alleyoop top acid on big box after Al hooi took a huge spill trying that on the big down ledge clintching the US team to take the win.
