Be-Mag has teamed up with Grindhouse and Rollerblade to bring you yet another skate raffle. This time we're hooking up one lucky Be-magger with a complete RB Sven Boekorst 2012 blade that are equipped with new Blank Frames, new harder/faster soul plates and 60mm/88a wheels. If you're an avid Rollerblade skater or just want to give them a try out of curiosity it's worth your while to enter this contest. And who doesn't love free blades? Why would you even want a blade from Sven? In the immortal words of legend Ryan Jacklone, "What's that kids name? Sven? He's ill. He tried to do some super ill spin to some super ill topside trick. My "leg doesn't go this way" trick." If you want to do that trick, listen to the Riggler and enter this contest.
We at Hangaren Hot Sport Center wanted to host a genuine blade jam to give the chance once in a while to just skate and throw down among friends with time to relax and hang out together. We had 'The Swedes' running on projector screen and a secondhand blade shop for everyone to make a buck or get some pre-used parts a bit cheaper then usual.
Adam Johnson's newest project "Pariah" documents some of the world's best skaters doing some of the most meticulous, progressive and clean skating that I've seen in a long long time. Perhaps once or twice in a decade is there a video made with such a dynamic cast of people mixing young prospects and seasoned veterans. This digiflick has great replay value and it's all filmed and edited to tunes that will inevitably be on your skating playlists to get you juiced for a session. If you missed out on buying a copy the video here's your opportunity to win a copy from your favorite blading website.

These are just some of the reasons why we are so glad to have him as one of the newest members of the C.O. familia. Welcome to the team compadre. -Hakeem Jimoh

We would like to welcome Marc Moreno, Gabriel Hyden, and Takeshi Yasutoko to the family. Thank you always for your support. -Hakeem Jimoh
It is hard to put into words how very much I enjoy Adam Johnson´s work. Not only does he know how to capture the aesthetics of rollerblading in a way that appeals to a vast majority of the rolling community, but in addition he seems to dedicate every breathing minute to rollerblading related projects, be it VX, Street Artist or whatnot. For the last few years Adam has been on the road constantly. The routine of buying a van and turning it into his mobile headquarter appears to have become a fixed segment of his life. After filming for On Top and Charging, both extremely well received projects, he still had the energy to put his all into yet another feat.
