This month in [MAG]: An Amnon Klein Profile, an interview with Senate's Mark Heineken, reports on Lausanne, Shred Cologne and Oeteldope Dutch Championships and a pocket full of streetphotos!

San Francisco is a visiting skater’s paradise. Besides the spot list that can go on forever provided you have adequate imagination and the ability to bomb 45-degree hills, the night scene is enough to bring your internal bruising up to par with your skating wounds.

The foundation for any growing skate community is a physical brick and mortar skate shop. The country of Malaysia is lucky to have one run by a long time dedicated blader. We checked in with Wheel Love to see how their business is growing and continuing to expand.

Fellow msgboard member NickL has invested some of his precious time to (over-)analyze the ways of our lovely sport and the industry attached to it and came up with a very useful tool for everyone to benefit from. This is a milestone of the sport and will allow you to not only plan skate sessions more efficiently, but also help you to foresee product launches more precisely. And of course, soon.

The days are getting shorter and colder now almost all around the world, so we decided to release another Be-Mag fashion just in time for the weather change which also includes nice and cozy sweaters. Once again these garments have been specifically cut and sewn for us and feature some of our favourite graphics from the past with a new twist. For the lookbook we asked Dominik Wagner to shoot the pictures for us together with pro skater Richie Eisler.

Zach Nelson and the crew from We Are One Skate Park went on the quintessential California Road trip this summer.

Daniel Prell - what to say about him? Well, everybody knows his passion for droprails, best with a shitty runway and landing. But do you know Daniel without his skates on? Ok, that doesn’t happen that often as he shreds his local rails in nearly every weather condition and with whatever injury he has.

Want to talk skating? Saw that awesome bird in a tree earlier today but have no idea what it's called? Pain in the gut, feeling dizzy? Ian Copp to the rescue! Being it countless polls for nearly every (relevant) topic in Blading, 'bird fagging' or remote diagnosis from the other side of the globe, members of the Be-Mag message board sure are familiar with Ian Copp. Or 'ian from tampa' for that matter. Well, it's Miami, actually. Ummm, where did we break off..? Oh yeah, Ian being the man. He once again cut no costs and spared no effort to bring you the third edition of his infamous 'BuddyTour Series' and actually delivered it – and that's kinda unheard of in the Rollerblading business – on time. Enjoy!

Brian Aragon, undoubtedly one of the top and most influential rollerbladers in the history of the sport. He wins competitions, has a flawlessly fluid style, inspires rollers both old and new, represents the sport in a positive way, and he never quits…anything. It is no secret that this superstar will be remembered for a long time and share in history with the likes of Dustin Latimer, Jon Julio, Arlo Eisenberg, and Chris Edwards. With his skating being in the limelight for quite some time now people think they’ve got him figured out; who he is, why he is, and what he’s all about. But, do you really know all there is to know about Brian Aragon?
