As summer starts to heat up, Undercover are dropping some new wheels to keep your skate setup cool. A second edition of the videogame Pro wheels with a new colour way are coming out. We've gotten our hands on four sets of these new wheels and we want to reward our loyal readers.

Be-mag have just launched the Re-Edition line of tees for Summer 2012 and it's times like these where you can actually go out and support the supporters! Wear one of our new shirts while rolling your favorite park or street spot, cruising around town on your bike or sitting down for a cool beverage during the warm summer months.

The last update ended with us fixing our car and leaving Kaunas for next stop Palanga, which was only a one hour drive. We arrived in the early evening for a session at the local park with local bladers. We gave away some free Hedonskate stuff again and just had a fun session there. The weather was pretty cold and dark despite it supposed to be summer, but we didn't care.

After suffering the assaults of unfavorable weather on the first 2 stops of the tour, we were hoping to find some good weather down south. It's June 20 and we spent the day on the road again. Torrential rain and weariness does not facilitate the task of our driver, Yannick. He must guide our small group safely to Annecy...

Roskilde festival freshened up it's skatepark this year, and while they were at it they also put up a new bowl. Jeff Stockwell, Jacob Juul, Dominik Wagner and many others were brought in to look for some fresh lines, and they sure as hell found some!

Roskilde Festival is well underway and some of our top pro's are busting their asses representing rollerblading to the masses. Sven Boekhorst and Eito Yasutoko showed the audience what's up with vert skating. Check the edit for some serious airtime!

The last update ended with us arriving in Kaunas at an awesome summer house. This is where we celebrated a national holiday - John’s day! Great house with all kinds of people hanging out. Chillin’, drinking and just having fun all night long and going to sleep when sun was already up, because this was the shortest night of the year. That sure was a fun night!

German shredders Alexander Schneider and Jojo Jacobi are currently at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. They've been nice enough to send us our first updates on this year's skating, or should I say partying with a sprinkling of blading. The concert lineup is incredible: Bruce Springsteen, Bjork, The Roots, The Cure and Jack White are the main acts with incredible supporting artists such as A$AP ROCKY, Pretty Lights, Royce da 5'9" plus many more. Keep your eyes out for more updates coming.....soon.

Once again under gray skies we left the English capital towards Dover in order to board the ferry which would take us back to the mainland. The ride was rather good; we played games and we talked about everything and nothing, laughing all the way. After crossing 5 countries and spending approximately 10 hours on the water and the road, we arrived in Germany. Cologne was the second stop of this tour, a destination that also included only one day of skating so we had to be productive.

The RollKings Tour is over and done with but here is a recap of some more of their highlights. Take a peek at some extra bonus clips and photos. If these are their left overs, we can't wait for the finished product.
