May we present to you the trailer for the se... Wait a minute...? A trailer... for an edit? A trailer for the second Be-Mag BCSD edit before the first one has even dropped? Does this even remotely make sense? And what's with the uber long headline for this post? Is all that really needed? See for yourself...

Our contributor Vincent Morretino sent us some snaps from his Bitter Cold Showdown 2012 experience. Vincent covered some of the skating and also gives you a glimpse on what being at BCSD felt like this year. Thanks, Vincent!

Part of the accompanying program of Bitter Cold Showdown 2012 was Michelle Gerards 'The Rollerblading Project' art show at Tanget Gallery in Detroit. Vincent Morretino covered an event for Be-Mag every blading enthusiast wouldn't want to miss. Great photography, good atmosphere. And there also was some skating.

Alex Broskow has already shown in the past that he has got what it takes to be a world-class competitor. With podiums at some of the most important rolling events around the globe including NYC Street Invite, Blading Cup, Montreal Classic, World Rolling Series Finals, high expectations are usually placed on Alex. Alex was able to meet the high expectations this year.

It's Friday night and the qualification round is underway. Nine of 140 qualifiers compete to make it to tomorrow's AM event for a chance to move onto the Pro finals. As the combatants practice their runs, I met with JC Battle from Canada.

Welcome to Bitter Cold Show Down 2012! After a long drive over night, through hail and rain, we finally made it to Detroit, MI. Drive safe and get here! The park opens soon for open session.

The morning of Laced was freezing cold. While the rest of England was gripped in snow, it seemed to just rain ice in Liverpool. No amount of layers could save you. Inside, Rampworx was no better and we clung to our cups of coffee for the illusion of warmth.

The Hedonskate Team took the trip to Eindhoven, Netherlands, to not only bring some green flavour to the competition but also to updrade the competition with one of their top athletes, Nils Jansons. Here is the official Hedonskate view on the Winterclash 2012.

Yet another Winterclash edit you can chew on. This one is made by the boys from Electrique Production from France. Filled with the sickest tricks and the party vibe that defines Winterclash, this is one edit you shouldn't miss. Enjoy!

Filmed over Friday and Saturday at 'Winterclash 2012' and then edited in 6 hours back at home, heres my perspective on the competition at Area 51 Skatepark, Eindhoven mid-February. There was some nasty bails, some huge tricks, massive transfers and a hell of alot of FUN! -Ryan Goold
