    Be-Mag·
    Eulogy has been pouring wheels for well over a decade now so they've seen the high times and the low times of skating. We spent a few minutes checking in with Isaac talking about the team, big wheels and skater owned businesses.

    Hedonskate Tour 2012: The Full Report

    Be-Mag·
    It’s been a while now since the Hedonskate Bladelicious tour around Lithuania has ended, but I still have very strong memories from it. As with every tour, there are successes and failures. But, of course only the best of times stay with you in your mind. This was the first time I took part in organizing the entire event, and along side with Kaspars Alksnis ‘ efforts it went down really well. The first attempt at anything is always a learning experience. Now, I know exactly what to do next time to make it bigger and better.

    Up and Comers: Jon Fromm

    Be-Mag·
    Most of you probably already know Jon Fromm, or at least think you do. He shows up at competitions all over, comes out to the local blade events and always seems to have a new edit on Vimeo, forcing you to rewind and ask yourself what just happened. But if I had to share something about Jon that most people wouldn't know it would be his work ethic. Skating is the perfect microcosm of his life. To the untrained eye when watching Jon warm up with hurricane topsouls first try and switchups that leave you amazed the first thing people think is "I wish it was that easy for me" or at least thats what I was guilty of. 

    Be-Mag Supporters for July 2012

    Be-Mag·
    Having 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: Jo Zenk

    Be-Mag·
    The usual introductions start with the moment when you first met the guy to be interviewed. In this specific case I have to say, that I am not quite sure where I met Johannes the first time, but I am sure about the fact that as soon as I got to know him a little I hated him instantly. Never would I ever hang out with that guy. Life can teach you tough lessons and the one that I was taught when it comes to Johannes Zenk is, that you should never judge someone on first sight.
