The term "Rollschuhlaufen" is German and a minimization of Rollerblading, more oriented to the activity of recreational quad skating. If you're invited to go "Rollschuhlaufen", you know you're up to good times blading with the homies in a non-competitive manner. Not exactly dinky are the tricks Daniel Gourski, Eugen Enin, Jo Zenk and others attempted while filming for this video in Spain and Germany in 2010. The feel good vibe of "Rollschuhlaufen" is present throughout the whole thing though. Have a look!
Edit featuring Shane Yost, Cj Wellsmore, Alexander Rabinovich skating around Melbourne City on Seba GT90's. Directed, filmed and edited by Craig Smith.
They way Cj Wellsmore stepped into the limelight overnight two years ago and left his marks on blading ever since is amazing. Even more impressive is how long this kid flew under the international radar till he finally took off. This is a profile of Cj from 2005 that was filmed when he got back into blading after a break. A lot of this section was captured in the first week he put skates back on. A pair he didn't even own. Filmed by Dave Jacob of Ultimate Fury Productions.
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.

These last years of portraying rollerblading has been a great gift of friends, adventures and learning. When you've been given such privileges as I had for this film, you want to give your very best. And I thank everyone involved for making this happen.
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.
