On his personal Twitter account Brian Krans describes himself with the following words: 'Writer. Rollerblader. Jackass.' As simple as this sounds, it's seems the easiest way to describe his character.
I know Dick "mister shine" Heerkens for a couple of years now. Hes the friendliest dude I know in the Dutch scene. Dick is very clever and entrepreneurial, but most of all, he's a fun guy to hang out with. If we are on skates, travel, fire up the BBQ or play some soccer, he'll always be on point! When he is on skates you can see him enjoying the session, and most of the time this positive energy spreads to other skaters around him. He loves to play around but is down for some hammers as well. He does this with style and a huge trick vocabulary. If you ever have the chance to shred with him, put on your blades and do so. For now just sit back and enjoy these clips.

Adam Johnson is dedicated to blading, he lives it. We have the upmost respect for him, not only for running 2 companies in our industry, but sacrificing everything he has to produce some amazing skate videos featuring his closest friends. We caught up with AJ in Arizona during one of of his "laps" around the country filming for 'Pariah'. -James Johnson
Chris Farmer is one of the most influential skaters in our industry. Chris is one of our favorite people in general, he's always respectful, and always genuine. Aside from his skating, we're happy to give you a glimpse into who Farmer really is. -James Johnson

Eugen Enin... who is this guy? Two years ago, Eugen popped out of nowhere into the German scene all of a sudden, placed high at some of the main street competitions, showed his super-tech blading here and there in small web files and German DVDs, was rather quickly placed on USD's Flow Team and managed to impress virtually everyone who witnessed his abilities in person. His body and mind may be in the perfect condition to become one of Europe's finest street skaters. At a young age he already appears to be quite focused, mature, motivated and strong enough to take a beating and get right back up to finish the job. But enough the sweet talk, have a look at one of Germany's finest up & comers, Eugen Enin!
