    Donate & Skate Competition Report

    Be-Mag·
    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!

    6th Annual Gladiator Contest Report with exclusive USD Edit

    Be-Mag·
    The Gladiator contest was born in the mind of Cédric Duchemin, and along with his partner in crime Stéphane Luchie, they brought this project to life and made it one of the best park contests of the year, eventually earning itself 3 stars on the WRS rankings. Both really good skaters and great people, those we call “Duch & Stouf” put a lot of work and energy on the line to make this event happen. Originally meant to be a trilogy, the great atmosphere and positive response from the scene kept it going until this year, for its sixth edition. Whether or not there will be another one in the future is still uncertain, but we can only hope the crew finds a way to bring us another incredible event next year!

The best Dutch riders were present to compete for the final points. The win in the junior's division took Tasheed Zaalman from Rotterdam and the senior title was taken by Dick Heerkens from Amsterdam. Although both were in the top of the ranking before the final round already, it was still a round full of excitement.

    Rollacoasta Sessions Vol. 2 Report

    Be-Mag·
    The last years first Rollacoasta Session in Schleswig was still a rather spontaneous get together of rollerbladers from Flensburg, Hamburg and parts of Denmark. At that time nobody thought about advancing this session to a regular gathering of the northern rollerblading scene. But since there hasn't been much going on in terms of events apart from the X-Mas Jam it presents itself as a great opportunity to change that and give the sleepy scene some valuable momentum.
