    ABRISS X: 10 YEARS IN BERLIN | EVENT REPORT

    Jonathan Labez·
    Abriss celebrated its tenth edition this year. What began as a small street contest grew steadily into one of the most important annual gatherings in European blading. It’s not a huge event (maybe a hundred people at most spots) but that is part of what makes it special. Abriss feels personal.Everyone is close — the line between skater, filmer, and spectator disappears...

    ABRISS 9 BERLIN STREET COMP | EVENT REPORT

    Jonathan Labez·
    Having just moved to Berlin, I’ve slowly been connecting with the local blade scene and discovering spots around this dense city. When my good friend Moza mentioned Abriss Berlin’s 9th street competition, I knew couldn’t miss out on the event and made sure to mark it in my calendar. The weather was perfect the day of competition. I packed my skates and my analog camera with a few different rolls of film for the day...

    A.L.N.I.S 2024 | VENTSPILS, LATVIA

    Kevin Little·
    The A.L.N.I.S competition is now going strong after a remarkable seventeen-year stretch & doesn’t look to be slowing down one bit! The Latvian street contest once again had a humongous turnout with competitors coming out to compete against some of the best bladers in all of Europe. The contest was heated & had some incredible highlights but the win went to none other than Latvian legend Nils Jansons, who laced numerous hammers throughout the day to take a much-deserved win home. Peep the action that was shot & chopped by Mārtiņš Jansons...

    BLADEHOUSE ATHENS 9 | EVENT REPORT

    Jonathan Labez·
    The evening before I was due to go on my first-ever trip to Athens earlier this year in January, I realized I had no idea what the aggressive inline scene was like there. I happened to be at Bay 66 skate park, London when someone told me, “I heard there’s a Bladehouse in Athens, and they have an amazing annual competition.” I was headed to the Greek capital for three months. Naturally, I was ecstatic to hear that there was a Bladehouse happening (an institution the Athens rollerblade scene gravitates around), complete with a rooftop skatepark and a mini ramp in the kitchen...

    WINTERCLASH 2023 | JEFF SPÖRRI CAPTURING DAY 2 & 3

    Jonathan Labez·
    This Winterclash came with a lot of surprises. The biggest to me was how much talent there was at the juniors [level]. Not to mention, I’ve never seen so many bladies at in a skate park. [To] see how many girls and woman skate, makes me wonder if Jojo should think about extending [Winterclash] one day longer to fit all the heats. Same for the AMs; there were soooo many heats and talented skaters competing...
