    Last Man Standing: Results

    Be-Mag·
    This weekend hosted the annual 2011 Last Man Standing competition in New York City and showed the world that rolling’s undying thirst to bring bladers together could not be stopped by even mother nature and the worst she could throw. Several weeks ago New York City, along with the rest of the eastern seaboard of the United States, was pounded by Hurricane Irene. As if that wasn’t enough, in the wake of all damages caused a tropical storm soon followed up and added to the destruction. The Last Man Standing event was supposed to take place over the weekend following Billy O’Neil’s New York City Street Invitational. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances with the condition of New York City at the time the event was postponed indefinitely. Lucky for us and the spirit of rolling LMS was rescheduled for this weekend and only several hours ago it all went down, burly as usual, and Staten Island’s own Franco Cammayo represented his local scene and took first place.

    Contest Report: Chosen Few Finals 2011 in Los Angeles

    Be-Mag·
    So the ACF Finals this year were about as crazy as it can get. This may be starting to get repetitive but I will say it again because I really do mean it. Chosen Few's main goal is to expose new talents around the world, challenge skaters to push themselves to their full potential and to put on amazing events for all to enjoy! The Chosen Few Finals are now being known as one of the most difficult competitions around. We're not going to lie about that either. Our finals will always be an intense and challenging competition. You may get one easy spot at the beginning but that's about it. No matter what the last obstacle is, it will not be easy. It might be a huge down rail or it might be something random but we will guarantee that it will always have the competitors pushing themselves and skating their hardest.

    Scandinavian Real Street Championships 2011 Contest Report

    We had a good hour of session, and the sign-ins of skaters in the competition was finally over. The new spot at the SEB buildings was just as we expected it to be: great for rollerblading. The surface made of smooth concrete turning and tossing like a river down a lazy sloped hill, with the occasional curb to skate and a big two meter gap in the ending made it a rollerblading fantasy.

The spots this year are sick, I am stoked to be able to take you to them.The Contest: Septemeber 10, 2011 @ 2pm. We will have registration for the contest and a best trick at the park for some prizes. You will get the city guide for the KY Battle. Then, we make the city trek all over spot to spot. The time allotted for each spot will be 45 minutes, but the skaters will determine if we stay a bit longer or leave earlier, since they are the ones skating the event. We are setting up a digital database of all the skaters and the spots so we can get an accurate rating and scoring system for each skater's performance at every spot. I am really stoked at the idea since my wife is the one who egged me on to do it. I am just amped to keep doing this every year, and continue to see all guys come from all over and kill the spots that we love here in our city. There are 4-7 spots pending on time. We are still working non stop on the contest till the day of. It's been a tradition, for sure. So I hope to see you soon.

    It has been really tough watching Guillaume Roy (owner of Lylac Skateshop) run around town and work his magic to make this competition happen. It makes me proud to be a part of the Montreal Classic. Year after year Danny Laroche and Guillaume Roy continue to organized this amazing event. A lot has changed with the Montreal scene since the very first Classics in 2001.

    NYC Street Invite 2011: Second Official Be-Mag Edit by Sam DeAngelis

    Be-Mag·
    "There is a rollerblading festival going on under the highway bridge here in Brooklyn" I heard someone saying when we entered the venue. "People jumping over cars, grinding on a truck – you have to see this, it's crazy". Yeah the New York City Street Invite 2011 was an unique experience for everyone involved. Billy O'Neill and Daniel Kinney (founder and organizer of BCSD) don't talk much – they are doers and do things the right and professional way. I guess people recognize this and that's why the NYC Street Invite gathered bladers from all over the world to battle it out on some real street one-of-a-kind obstacles especially created and set-up for this contest. So Billy and Daniel did not only take care of the obstacles for the contest, they also made sure that they've had all permissions and insurances needed for the contest. We at Be-Mag also felt that this contest was going to be a big deal, so we decided to send a team to New York to cover the event properly. But good things take time.
