Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 6 – When The Music’s Over Be-Mag·July 13, 2013Wondering where in the hell we've been? Well, we've been really busy in the earthly paradise known as Roskilde, enjoying the non-stop concerts & never-ending party. And when it all did stop eventually, we rode way too many trains and slept way too few hours in order to make it back home in one piece, exhausted but the happiest we've been in a long time nonetheless!
Company Profile: doop Be-Mag·July 11, 2013Since taking over the original Xsjado concept, the Conference developed a hybrid of the first generation skeleton mixed with their nordic skate resulting in the Xsjado 2.0. Oli Benet then had the idea for a crossover to expand into the recreational and fitness market and the doop brand was born. Be-Mag asked him a few questions about doop and where he sees it rolling forward.
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. What could actually be more exciting than 4 more days of partying all over the place, with an almost endless line-up of artists covering all genres of the entire music spectrum playing concerts in some of the most amazing stages ever built on Earth? 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!
Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 3 – Lost In Transition Be-Mag·July 3, 2013And here we go for another hungover update from Roskilde Festival. Despite a wild night of partying, the energy is really high still, and everyone's looking forward to the vert show this afternoon, which we might as well call the "Eito Show". While we're all waiting for the forecast to improve, for now it's time to catch up with yesterday's bowl contest: read on!
Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 2 – Muddy Waters Be-Mag·July 2, 2013Eyes wide open, 6 in the morning, I wonder what the people behind the wheel think of us campers as their cars roll by on the freeway. Truckers horn as I stand amidst the tents in the gray Nordic light. Could be interpreted as either a sign of mockery, or a proof of their sympathy, but standing there won't help me find out which option is actually true, thus I move on with my day. It's our 2nd morning in Roskilde, and there's some stuff happening on the street course today.
Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 1 – Where The Magic Happens Be-Mag·June 30, 2013Morning Temperature is way low but heavy alcohol consumption helped everyone sleep through the cold until late. There's fresh coffee for everyone to nurse their hangovers, and soon enough the crew starts shredding the bowl and street course. It's Day One in Roskilde, the place is already trashed, but everybody is ready to roll. Before the actual shows start on Monday, today we'll take over the streets of the city for the first SRSC of the season.
Roskilde 2013 – Chapter 0 – An Introduction Be-Mag·June 29, 2013Berlin - It's 9AM and I crack open the first beer of the day. Excitement is really high and I haven't slept much, woke up way too early with crazy dreams about Denmark. The fastest bowl in Europe, one sick crew of bladers, a week-long party with beautiful girls everywhere, and some of the best music you'd want to hear... Countless fantasies, and more than enough to get anybody just as excited as I am, sipping on some Czech imported Budweiser to cool myself down as I wait for the rest of the crew.
Be-Mag Supporters for June 2013 Be-Mag·June 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.
Up and Comers: Gabriel Adriani Michael Bayr·June 26, 2013Watching my brothers growing up is one of the best things in my life and watching the flame of passion burn inside them is even better. It's wonderful to see how happy my brother Peter is when he plays football as watching my younger brother Gabriel lacing a trick. It feels like I'm playing football or making that trick in that moment. They are a part of me. Gabriel is one of the bladers who inspired my view of the game and of course one of my favourite bladers. Today I'm really proud to introduce him here on his first interview on Be-mag.com Hope you guys will meet him soon, he has the power to juice you up easy and makes you laugh more then ever!!
