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.
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 doesnt happen that often as he shreds his local rails in nearly every weather condition and with whatever injury he has.
It's been seven days since 'Jon Julio's Blading, The Game' has been released and we wanted to give everyone that have missed this a heads up. Get on the App Store and check it out if you haven't already!
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!
'Jon Julio's Blading, The Game' is now available on the App Store and made it to the top ten in the Sports category after the first day. Let's take it to #1, then top ten of paid apps...

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 theyve got him figured out; who he is, why he is, and what hes all about. But, do you really know all there is to know about Brian Aragon?
The fine folks over at Adapt have just updated their website with a new Vegan model with green parts and also introduced a new antirocker dubbed 'Marbles' produced under their accessories branch Symetrics. Check the stuff out below!
