In April Mathieu went to Arizona to meet up with James and Jon (X-Rated) to film for his Revolution 90 seconds edit. Although Mathieu is pretty busy doing stunt work for the new TV show called 'thirteen' he found some time to create an exclusive edit for be-mag uniting some of the clips from the 90 seconds edit as well as some new footage from Montreal. As you might know already, Mathieu is and has always wanted to be a true innovator. Combining his rolling skills with his acrobatic moves taken from his parcouring experience makes him an exception in the field of rolling.
Back in the day there was Japan's posterboy Chiaki Ito appearing on all the major contests (XGames, ASA etc.) worldwide. Today there are some new faces and talents stepping up the game and drawing a lot more attention to Japan from the rest of the rolling world again. We approached Yuto (one of the new talents) two weeks ago and received this edit almost 24 hours later. This guy not only impressed us with his dedication, but more with his solid skating talent that you can see in this edit. When he answered the questions that we sent him there was one answer that made us smile. His favorite skater from back in the day is Alex Broskow (and not for example Chiaki Ito). Yuto seems to be just too new-school to know any of the legendary skaters. But seeing his One Minute One Spot there is no sign of being new school anymore...he already seems to be conscience-proof and talented like the older guys.
So as I was creeping through the web and Be-mag's archives...I noticed Kevin Yee's amazing section wasn't ever posted. So here it is, an amazing insight on Kevin's ability as one of the most creative skater of his generation!
Xsjado should be proud to have him on their team, I sure am glad to have him as a friend and teammate.- N.S
"After winning the chosen-few.com 10 trick liner competition Michael asked me to do a "one minute - one spot" edit for the Be-Mag site, getting a good camera man ain't easy when you need one due to every one's work schedules - however, Kola came through for me, so me and my wife picked him and Welland up one Monday and hit up Henfeild on the way to Eastbourne's new park. It was a rare hot day and the park was empty so we got straight to it. I'm always nervous when filming as I don't do it on the regular and I know Kola gets down with all the dowgs... It came out all cool, hope you like it - enjoy!"
Once again Beau Cottington brings them all together for his BBQ sessions: Old-schoolers as well as New-Schoolers show up for a chilled session at one of the local skateparks around San Diego. Great initiative.
