2020 BE-MAG AWARD WINNERS

We apologize for the wait, but after many long hours of computing your votes, the results are in and we are proud to announce the winners of the 2020 Be-Mag Awards! This year’s awards were dominated by a particular Latvian legend and we also got some surprise winners that we weren’t expecting to see. 2020 was unlike any other year in recent times, as many of us have faced unprecedented levels of misfortune and grief and despite all of the chaos, we have made it through to a new year. But on the bright side of things, blading has seen a MASSIVE resurgence within the mainstream, with new heads popping up and old bladers dusting off their skates and coming to the realization that should have never left in the first place. 2021 is looking to be one of the biggest years in blading’s history, but we can’t forget all of the incredible skaters, companies and organizers that persevered through the adversity and made 2020 so memorable. So thank you to everyone who took the time to cast your vote!
