JC's skates have been out for what feels like an eternity and the promo edit dropped just now. We can be forgiving though because the edit is good. Very good. The skates are good, too. Get 'em!
Catch the highlights of the Themgoods roster at Bitter Cold Showdown 2012 including the new BCSD champion Alex Broskow. Rolling is looking good in 2012!
If you're not from Berlin, here is another reason to hate Mondays. Hedonskate is having its first session in the Skatehalle Berlin in collaboration with Berlin based companies The Black Jack Project and Chimera Wheels on February 27th.
Fester is proud to welcome Edwin "From Hell" Wieringh to the team. It isn't like Edwin didn't have a proper wheel sponsor before but he sure as hell is a great addition to the Fester posse. Peep the edit by Freelens Visuals!
USD have just announced their latest addition to the Pro team. None other than Franky Morales will from now on rep the USD brand. Congrats to both Franky and USD for sealing this deal!
East Coast wheel company Denial honors two of their team riders, Jacob Juul and Montre Livingston, with signature wheels for 2012. Montre even gets two wheels for being super awesome.
The Special Ops liner was developed to meet the fit requirements of narrower skates and exceed them in most full hard boot skates allowing skaters to unlock and explore a new world of options in their skates. Find more info on the new Trust liners on the brand's website.
Create Originals will have their 2012 Spring line of fashion and accessories ready for BCSD XII. You can check out the goods below and also have the chance to get your hands on a 15 % coupon code in case you won't be able to make it to BCSD this year.
Just in time for Winterclash we bring you another prize raffle. This time in collaboration with our trusted partner Grindhouse. The company was founded in the mid 90's and besides carrying the finest Rolling goods around, they've also constantly developed their own line of GH branded product. Last year, they've teamed up with Undercover to bring you the high quality 'Grindhouse 15th Anniversary Wheels' to celebrate their jubilee and them being the longest running shop in Europe. This year, they've gone the UC way again and created the 'Grindhouse Snakers & Parkrats Wheels'. Three sets of said wheels are now up for grabs...
Just in time for spring Razors is releasing its latest sequel of the popular Genesys skates series. Just like the SL skate, the G9 LE White is made of a harder and longer lasting material which provides full support for a long period of time. It comes with GCs proven Featherlite 2 frames, Razors liners with oversized padding, replaceable soul frames and backslide plates with pre-shaped groove which lines up perfectly with the groove of the frame. The G9 does not require any break-in time and is ready to use out of the box.
These are some clips from the Fenfanix riders at Winterclash 2012 in Eindhoven. Five riders from the Fenfanix team qualified for the final rounds for the Pro, Am, and Girl contests. Team rider Maxime Genoud took first place in the Amateur contest with stylish and powerful lines.
The guys at Swankrolling got their hands on two of the new VX jeans for 2012. Two models, not two jeans, duh. Anyways, according to them, they'll bring limited quantities of the Farmer and Broskow jeans to Winterclash and we will lend a hand selling them at the Be-booth. Stocks will be very limited, so hit up the Be-Mag booth immediately after you've arrived if you're in need for some fresh new threads. The jeans just arrived in Europe two days ago and even shops in the US don't carry them yet. Stop by the Be-Mag booth and we'll hook you up.
So we arrived in Eindhoven after a cold two and a half hour journey from Forward Freestyle. With the Fenfanix team in tow we checked in at the Holiday Inn and went to the nearest "food outlet", which is code for McDonald's. Once everyone had unpacked we proceeded to the Winterclash skatepark Area51. They have built some amazing obstacles for the contest. We grabbed some clips of our riders Diego Guilloud, Antony Pottier, and Romain Godenaire just throwing some steeze around the place before the real warm up session tomorrow. Check it out!
The second day of the Fenfanix Road to Winterclash Tour started off with everyone waking up on air mattresses to the sound of Rob Pruetts hair dryer at 9 in the morning. He was attempting to heat up the room at Forward Freestyle Skatepark after our space heater stopped working in freezing cold Belgium. The team eagerly got ready to blade quickly though. On our way to the ramps, more Fenfanix riders arrived. Diego Guilloud, Julien Cudot, and Antony Pottier came in with a bang and woke the rest of the house up. Everyone was game though and we started an early massive private session.
Our plan was to make some video updates for our time here in Cali, but with our little oldschool HD style camera it's hard to get to the standards. With help from Mike Tseng, who filmed second angles with his GoPro, we found some cool spots sometimes hidden from most street skaters over here, who use absurd amont of wax by the way.
Some Fenfanix riders arrived in Amsterdam late last night. Everyone was shocked about the frigidly cold weather since it was -9° C outside. But that didnt stop us from immediately getting started with the good times by hitting up a bar in Leidsedam, Holland with the crew. We chilled and discussed the upcoming week over a few pitchers of beer. We all had a laugh and got excited about everything to come on the road to Winterclash with the Fenfanix crew.
