Underestimated, sometimes. Underrated, maybe. Out-skated, never. Iain McLeod has been on a professional level for what seems like forever. Two pro skates, three pro frames, three pro wheels... and counting. Always a leader in both the tech and stunt aspects of blading, his ability to land some of the largest gaps, grind near impossible rails, and progress the ledge game further than few could have dreamed, continues to amaze anyone who's seen him skate. When asked how he does it, he simply smiles and says 'practice.' Fact is, within the 16 years he's been on blades, you can probably count the number of days Iain hasn't skated on both hands. This kid loves blading and his skating deserves scratch that demands respect.

Sixwonsix is one of the longest running blade companies in history. They broke into the scene back in the 90's with their legendary heel shock absorbers, and have transitioned into a soft goods company providing tees, hats, wristbands, shorts and now some bomb proof hard goods.

France is one of the leading markets for Rolling and home to some of the best skaters and most amazing skate spots in the world.

And probably no one deserves it more than a skater who's been skating strong for over 15 years, has been admired for his flawless style and did more for the community than many other pro skaters by opening his own distribution company and organizing world class events and tours: Mathias Silhan
