Be-Mag Supporters for October 2013 Be-Mag·October 28, 2013Having a print publication to show off the sport to outsiders is as important to Blading as a page on the internet where everyone can get their daily dose of Rolling. Many people are contributing to Be-Mag each month to keep the project alive and make it the longest running source for Blading content in print and on the net. With the core team of Be-Mag doing it for the love and all contributors also working for free there are still costs that occur. Paying for the servers, programming costs, countless other things that result in a huge sum each month. Needless to say it costs a small fortune to print a large number of magazines and distribute it all over the globe.

Well, we've been really busy in the earthly paradise known as Roskilde, enjoying the non-stop concerts & never-ending party.

Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 5 – Still Having Fun Be-Mag·July 5, 2013Now that the blading shows are officially over, you might think there isn't much for us to do here in Roskilde. And you couldn't be more wrong, as the real fun has just begun.

You're right: probably nothing.
Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 4 – Over And In Be-Mag·July 4, 2013Roskilde 2013 is only about to get started, and hangovers are getting worst. Nothing that a morning bowl session and some astronaut food can't cure, though. Needless to say, I'd rather attend the sound checks that are taking over the festival area, than sit in this crowded container, but here we are, back at it again. Hard to keep the focus when so many things are going on outside, but the vert show was too awesome not to let you know about that first!
