The Court Jester of Blading aka Ilia Savosin has been FINALLY blessed with his first signature aggressive skate (don’t forget about his Jurassic Red big wheel model) from his sponsor Roces Skates and the end result is an eye-catching aquamarine Fifth Element boot with a checkered flag pattern on the liner and wheels. It is amazing to see Ilia get the opportunity of being awarded a signature model skate after numerous years of being labeled “Breakout Skater” of the year. Well it is clear that Ilia has officially broken through and has become one of blading’s most consistently entertaining and innovative skaters.
For his video promo, Ilia pulls more of the signature moves that have made him such an enjoyable skater to follow, where he incorporates numerous items such as sleds, chairs, shovels and chains into his tricks and even braving the harsh Russian winters by grinding on blocks of ice and adversely warming back up with some grinds over very dangerous campfires. If this promo doesn’t keep you entertained than I highly suggest seeking a doctor’s opinion because you may have seriously broken your funny bone!
The promo video was edited by Mr. Ilia Savosin himself with main camera work by Dima Yakovlev and additional camera assistance from Ilia Zemchurin, Rodion Savosin, Nikita Panov and Anton Seleznev with Anton also providing photography assistance.
