    The Swiss comp in Basel was the smallest event I have ever had but the quality of talent was high. One of the important things about these street comps are to do something big for each skate scene. This comp had a small turn out but we had some of our youngest competitors. 3 skaters who were only 15 years old we're skating along side guys like Beat Schillmeier and Diego Guilloud.

    A Chosen Few Milton Keynes Street Comp Report + Official Be-Mag Edit by Jordan Maders

    Be-Mag·
    The Chosen Few Milton Keynes Street Comp was a great event. We knew rain could be a factor and it was but it didn't matter thanks to the Bus Station Ledges. We did two spots there. 1st spot was the long T ledge. We said the whole place was open to skate for the first round but everyone sort of got stuck on this long ledge. Burston did one of the nicest true top souls ever all the way off the end cab out and Aaron Turner almost laced the 10 pound rebate trick on the ledge. The infamous true fish. With a grab, of course.

    New York City Street Invitational

    Be-Mag·
    The stage has been set, the prizes are admirable, and the battlegrounds are legit. This comp is every bit as real as those coming from the heart of the skate scene in the 90s. The only difference? Legalities will not been interfering and you will not be riding without an invite from the host himself, long-time local resident and pro rider, Billy O’Neill.
