Ivan Narez, Erik Stokley, and I arrived at Jon and Viola Julio’s loft around 4:30 Thursday morning. Ivan slept most of the way in pure exhaustion from finalizing the details on getting copies of the Shred ‘Til You’re Dead II book, DVD, and Blu Ray that were releasing the next day. By that time, I had been awake nearly 24 hours and about five of those were driving from Walnut Creek to Santa Ana.

On October 20th the biggest German blade event 2012 will take place in Cologne. Well-known bladers from all over Europe will rock the city. We met the main organizer Marco Sichau to find out where the idea for this event came from and what will make this event new or special.

I’ve been wanting to skate New York City for 16 years.Since the Brooklyn Banks were closed for construction, there was only one thing I was after: skitching anything that moved during rush hour.

There was total chaos in Amsterdam when the first 'GET OUT THE WAY' edition went loose. Eighteen teams with thirty-six skaters raced on their bikes from spot to spot throughout the whole city. At each spot they had to finish a certain trick to get as many points as possible. We made an edit from the footage that the competitors sent us to give you a little impression of what went down on the 25th of August.

On August 17th, 2012 competitors and friends began to arrive in our fair city. Solid street clips were acquired. The evening overtook us and we hunkered down to feast and imbibe libations.

Stay In-Line Comp - This is our first event put together under the flag of S.I.L. Productions. A brand that I created three years ago as a way for people to see rollerblading through our eyes and through our friends. We hope to continue to have numerous events through out the year to bring the rolling community together and hopefully spark a fire in the younger generation to continue taking our sport to the level it should be.

Baltic Games – the fifth edition of the biggest extreme sports festival in Poland. It is a huge venture with a gigantic skatepark on an international level, plenty of invited guests, and bunch of different attractions for visitors. At the same time it is another great opportunity to show blading to outsiders in a good light. What can be said about the BG 2012?

On September 22nd bladers from around the globe will meet up in New York for the NYC Street Invitational. We checked in with organizer Billy O'Neill to find out what he's got in store for the second edition of the real street contest.
