One Minute, One Spot

The first thing you have to know about Nicola is that in Italy he is known as "Nico er fico" which means "Nico the cool". This Johnny Bravo look-alike street machine is killing it since day one. The first time I talked to him was a street contest in Milan ten years ago that ended with Nico doing a 360 soul on an elbow high hand rail that resulted in him winning the contest and somebody else quitting blading. Ten years later Nico just got married and is a proud father of the two-year-old cute girl Giorgia. But if you think this makes him slow down his blading, I also need to let you know that he also just became Italian Champion of 2011. It is a great pleasure for me to introduce my friend Nicola Fiorenza and his "fuck-off attitude". Enjoy the edit!

Arne Dahlmeier's name should be familiar to anyone that knows the ropes in the European scene. After he's left Razors a couple years ago things started to become rather quiet around him, even though he was, and still is, skating on an extremely high level. This year, after being hired out as a courtshow actor and hair model – lacking success in both ventures – he relocated from Bielefeld to Stuttgart. Shortly after his move and following a recent shoulder injury, which made surgery a necessity, he is now again fully functional and just paid his hometown a quick visit in order to film for this edit at one of his favorite spots. Welcome him back as he has fought what seems to have been an uphill battle of obstacles, taking it back to where it all began.

Mirek Ragan... don't even try to put him into any categories! Born in 1982, he is one of these old cats that grew up rollerblading from day one. Hoax 1 and 2 changed his life and if you ever have the opportunity to visit him in his sweet appartement in Katowice, Poland you'll be able to notice that he has every single DVD/VHS ever produced in the rolling industry. Behind his blue eyes you can sense that he is thinking of Rollerblading 24/7 – not only from the perspective as the owner of Hedonskate, but also as a dedicated rollerblader! Mirek is and will always try to push the sport into the right direction. To sum it up: Mirek is a very positive, funny and handsome person always looking at the bright side of life!

Danny's not a robot, he can take a fall, but he is a machine that shows no fear. His skating is the sort of skating that will get you the enders for two different montages in Be-Mag's 'Featuring The World' DVD a while back. It's the sort of skating where in a contest if he lands the big trick he's going for it'll win the prize for best trick of the day, and if he has a section in a video it'll be the most talked about section in that video. Not that long ago an edit was shared on the web featuring some old footage of Danny skating in his homeland of New Zealand, and the universally positive response throughout the skating world was a testament to his ability to defy what we've come to expect in a person's skating. He's a stuntman that takes risks, and if the spot doesn't call for a stunt he'll still throw down the hardest tricks he can think of. He won't stop until he's landed them, even with no camera around to capture it. Just be grateful Craig was there to capture this session, at the new Rampit Skatepark in Melbourne. But this is only a minute – he can go all night at this place, or any place for that matter. And then there's his Seven Rats part, which is a whole different ball park...

Zeb is one of my closest friends and he is always the one who helps me when I need something done. He is a very good filmer and editor. Zeb hasn’t been skating as long as we other old Wikings, but he has still become one of the most stylish skaters in Sweden by now. He has also made over a hundred rollerblading edits over the past 1-2 years, and if u go through them you will see what I mean with me saying he is a stylish skater! I wish him the best of luck and much love for the years ahead of him! I am sure we will see alot more from this Swedish killerbot in the future!

Here is an exclusive "One Minute One Spot"-edit with my little brother Bruno. I know he is my brother and it looks I am biased, but I can tell you he is getting so good lately. It's amazing. He is now 18, and skating is one of his passions. He loves rolling more than anything else: if it's – he doesn't care; if it's snowing – he doesn't care; if he is hurt – he doesn't care. He will still roll. The tricks you can see below were filmed within 90 minutes. A big hello to the world from Spain.

Cameron Card is a rollerblader who has a constantly evolving perspective on skating. For Cameron skating is about being fun. It allows him to travel, make friends and capture all the great moments life has to offer. In my own experience, many of the small sessions I have had with Cameron have been most memorable because of how he is able to inspire new life into any obstacle for the sake of a good time. This positive perspective towards skating makes it impossible not to envy the relationship Cameron has with skating. Cameron's confidence, smoothness and general ability to see potential in all obstacles make the experience of watching his skating in any situation surreal.

I don't know about the rest of the world but in the US Lyle Shivak is a very respected OG skater. He has paid his dues and contributed many of his own innovations to our sport. For some reason in his +10 years of shooting sections in some of the top videos of the decade he has never been a main stream pro. He laced the first 360° Fish ever in a video in the 2001 Daily Bread video "Under The Influence", And pioneered many more of the now termed "Spin to Win" tricks.

Check out this hot new One Minute One Spot edit of Argentinian young gun and Remz & Grindhouse flow rider Sacha Miguel Lopez from Stuttgart, Germany. We wanted to find out how many combos he could do starting off with a backside backslide and this is the result. Enjoy.
