Events

The first edition of the West Coast Contest is taking place at Skatepark des Chartrons in Bordeaux, France this weekend. After getting rained out the whole morning the competition is about to start right now. See how the events attendees killed some time till the ramps dried up. We hope to get a little live-update going here, so send your prayers for better weather and check back during the day!

Check out this edit that got released today. The course seems to be different and unique, so is the skating! Enjoy.

Pony Cup 2011 was a great experience. A lot of really good bladers attended this year and the competition – in contrast to its rather small name – featured some seriously good skating by Jojo Jacobi, Alex Burston and Jacob Juul as well as an elite troop of young guns that were ripping the park to shreds in the junior competition!

David Johns from Orlando has been jumping around at the Pow-wow exclusively for Be-Mag. And as you see in the picture set below, David is not only the guy that tries to get the best skating shots, he is also deep in finding good and interesting content apart from the skating. More pictures by David on Be-Mag real soon!

Here are some highlights from this years pro competition. Edit by Scotty Swemba and Frankie Terranova.

Here is another photo update including captions provided by David Johns. Congrats to David Sizemore for taking this year's title!

Jason Reyna put together a few bangers by David Sizemore who performed well at this year's PowWow, Florida's largest rolling comp.

The Under 18 division kicked off last night as the start to the Pow-wow Pro/Am. Congrats to Zachary Pollak for taking first. See everyone today as the tradeshow kicks off at noon!

First batch of pics from the contest. Coco Sanchez, Chiaki Ito, Anthony Avella, Chris Haffey, Leo Kamburov, Franky Zhang, Cesar Andrade and many more showing their best of tricks to impress the judges.

The Asian X-Games are taking place in Shanghai, China this weekend and the likes of Brian Aragon, Chris Haffey, Takeshi Yasutoko and many more are present to show the audience what they're about. Blading legend Matteo Attanasio agreed on doing some live-updates for Be-Mag while he was over there for the event.

David Johns from Orlando is on his way to the Panhandle PowWow 2011 which is taking place at Kona Skatepark in Jacksonville (FL) this upcoming weekend (April 29th-30th 2011). In tow he has Damien Wilson, Michael 'Gumby' Braud, Andrew Jaccuzi and Keaton Newson. As you can see below the crew detected some decent spots on their trip and left their marks on each one. Check out the first picture Gallery here. More pics are about to follow.

The first ever Donate and Skate charitable rollerblading event took place in Cedar Park, Texas on April 16th 2011. The goal of the contest was to provide rollerblades to those interested in the sport, but who might not have the funds readily available to buy brand new skates. Instead of a contest entry fee, competitors donated used skates, wheels or frames. Then, during the contest, the nice staff of Rec N Roll Skateshop helped match up the pieces and assembled skates for those in need. It was great seeing so many kids excited about picking out their own parts and trying on their new skates. A few brave kids even tried rolling the skatepark for their first time – it was a beautiful sight!
