And here is another edit straight from Scotland featuring the boys on the Scottish streets and on different skateparks. Always a pleasure to see the fast growing scene from Scotland. Keep it up.

After a week of non-stop rain in New York City, we finally had a day in the sun to shred. Foley square would be the meet up location for the “End of the World” session with the Valo Team. Bladers came from all boroughs in NYC for a chance to hang out and skate with some of their favorite pros. Present were Jon Julio, Erik Bailey, Franco Cammayo, Alex Broskow, Ivan Narez, Brandon Smith and Victor Arias. The session began on the steps of the Supreme Court Building, where people seemed to be getting worked coming off the court house gap.

Team Rollerblade International is touring Europe from late April to end of June and Rob just sent us this nice little photo update documenting their trip through his very eyes and words. We hope to get a little series going with this, so stay tuned!

Hey, my name is Cameron Talbott, I am from Missoula, Montana and I ride for Valo and Aggressive Mall. Recently I took a trip to a small village in Belize, where I did some volunteer work for a place called Liberty Children's Home. Prior to leaving I contacted my friend Justin from Amall to see if he would be in to sending some stuff down for the kids. Even though my trip had nothing to do with skating, Justin was more than willing to send me down we some things to help contribute.

On Saturday 14th of May the demo team gathered for the last time. We were supposed to do the pre-demos before the big show inside Cloetta Center which is Linköpings big sport arena where they usually host hockey games. Around 8000 people went by the mini and watched for a bit before heading into the big show so I guess we had a big crowd watching that day.

Uk Razors Flow Jamie Stenner and Ian Henrie stepped into the new Razors Horn Pro Skates. Sim Warren has caught them on tape while they were shredding this sweet weather-proofed skatepark.

Mind the Gap goes Switzerland. Sven Boekhorst's event series just had this year's first stop. As usual this event attracted a lot of spectators.

First Sundays was awesome as usual, we had over 50 people at this session come out and enjoy a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon at the new Lincoln Skate Plaza. We had people like Kruise Sapstein, Rob G, Anthony Williams, Russell Day, Chris Calkins, Rudy Avila, of course Jeremy Soderburg who is one of the organizers and a ton of other rippers. The skate park has such a nice flow to it and I spent most of my time on skating the nice small p-rail which was a lot fun for everyone. We had a 50 person p-rail session going on at one point during the day.

I decided to hold this session a month ago because I did not see a lot of people since Winterclash and Try2Roll. I usually meet my friends from Stuttgart and Munich very rarely, too. A good movie and the facts that Marco Baltrokko is about to become a father, Highspeed Manu moves together with his long-time girlfriend and Daniel Rothenberger just got 30 years contributed in the title: Old Men In New Parks.
