    NYC STREET INVITATIONAL: The Florida “PERSPECTIVE!” by Kyle Guilford, “The Blading Warrior”

    Be-Mag·
    And they say drinking doesn't lead to good ideas. Well, when the risk is worth the adventure it sometimes takes a few bottles of an ice cold brew to push the best decision that a road trip from Florida to New York is more than worth it. Wild Bill and Kyle Guilford made a choice decision in heading straight to Orlando for the first two and a half hour flight straight up the coast to Billy's first annual NYC Street Invitational. Not 100% if they made the right decision? Well, maybe you haven't been paying attention to the rolling world but at nearly three weeks later it is still at the top of everyone's mind. So, after you read up on this you may want to school yourself and watch the several dozen edits that have surfaced since the comp.

    Up and comers: Kevin Lapierre

    Be-Mag·
    Kevin is from the same town that I grew up in. I remember the first time I saw him at the local park: right away I knew that this kid had true love for blading! He makes me think of myself when I was his age. Kevin is a amazing person. He is humble, respectful and fun to be around with. And the guy can freaking shred! He skates fast, solid and precise like a diamond. It's really inspiring to see him be so passionate and following his dream to be part of our little community. He has not yet beat me to a game of B.L.A.D.E, but I guess it's cause I don't want to play against him anymore. I would get my ass kicked. Merci Kevin pour tout!

    Checking in with Edwin Wieringh

    Be-Mag·
    If you are into European Rollerblading, you might have come across the Amsterdam local Edwin Wieringh. Dutch, cleanest style ever, textbook truespin topsouls, always in a good mode and full of power – those are just some characteristics for a guy who loves Rollerblading more than anything else in his life and that often shreds the Amsterdam streets just by himself. There are some Rollerbladers in our industry that are known worldwide for their extraordinary talent although they have never won an international contest title. Edwin Wieringh has been one of those people – at least until the weekend of June 11th 2011 when he took the Chaz Sands Invite 2011 Amateur comp. When we got the results from our local media team there was a big "Halleluja!" going on in the office. It was just a matter of time that Edwin would win an international recognized contest. We thought that's reason enough to catch up with the Dutch super dude. Curtains up for Edwin "from hell" Wieringh.
