Without wanting to do too much self-trumpet-blowing, it has occurred to me that our team at LocoSkates is an outstanding collection of UK rollerblading talent. It's also occurred to me that we have alot of fun when we travel. Nor did it slip my mind that Scotland is not only a great market for us at LocoSkates.com, but is full of killer street spots, incredible skateparks and inspired, pro-active, hospitable people. The LocoSkates LoveScotland tour had to happen.

We're back with the final section from the Picture Me Rolling saga. If you haven't been following our releases this winter on Be-Mag take a moment to watch some great skating from some very talented Canadians.

Kevin is a young father and an old skater. He has seen the sport since its early beginnings and still is heavily involved in the sport. He learned to skate in the famous Marseille Bowl and was known as Toto Ghalis' little brother for a long time. Together they traveled across the world competing and promoting the sport.

Nik has been a big part of my beginnings in skating, him amongst other guys from the International School in Geneva, Switzerland...were the only young riders in Geneva. I didn't hang out much with the older skaters because I was kinda of a dickhead, but we all grow up and look back laughing at how stupid we were....anyway. Nik is a truly good friend, and I really miss the time we spent in Geneva, skating, talking shit, being young and having fun...he even made it to the same public school as I a few years later, and a couple before he moved back to Malaysia. I've seen him again of course, shortly, during comps, and I'm just glad he kept on rolling and I consider him as one of the sickest skaters in south east asia region!- Nicolas Schopfer

Here comes another 'a chosen few' edit featuring the likes Jeremy Soderburg, Chris Calkins and Daniel Rosado. Enjoy!

Charles Nantel and some friends embarked upon the trip to Bittercold. They documented almost everything. See what happened during their trip.

Tour dates and riders of GTK 2011 just got released. Be-Mag is a proud supporter and will provide full coverage of the tour in form of live-updates. The Gitanklan Tour – X-treme sports at its roots and the essence of our lifestyle.

A City Guide is a simple way to introduce a new place and country to people who want to travel there. It gives them insight on the best of the best it has to offer from food, art, fashion/design and skate spots. At the beginning of last year I started to work on a Berlin guide for Ignition Skateshop. The first city guide I created was for Helsinki, Finland in my spare time while I worked in the graphic design department of my university. This was a fun side project for me when I studied there for six months on an exchange program in 2008.

Canadian immigrant Dustin Werbeski apparently enjoys his time in Barcelona. This edit is another masterpiece straight from the powerhouse. Great filming and even better rolling!

Today, RollToronto presents to you Daniel Lefebre's section from Picture Me Rolling. Dan's skating really speaks for itself. Once you watch this section, you will know who Dan is as a person.

So, I've personally been wanting to see Vine St. since the first trailer in 2009. Images was just so clean, and most of the riders were either very old friends or new connaissance. Nevertheless, when Be-Mag told me they could spot me some DVD's, I immediately thought we should do a real Premiere in Geneva Switzerland. The perfect spot for that was our local "Café Du Cinéma", our very own Stephan De Freitas Portuguese Bar.

Check out Evert riding his brand new Nimh´s. Filmed and edited by Mats-Kaarel Ruus....

Today we posted a video of Mark McMorris landing a Backside Triple Cork 1440 Video on his Snowboard on our facebook page. We wanted to know if there has ever been a 1440 landed in Rolling? A few users answered.

Did you ever think that one of the best memories from a visit to the Powerhouse would include an epic police chase down one-way streets by three motorcycles/scooters, getting stopped, searched and your skates taken away? Adrien Anne, Diego Guilloud and Josh Glowicki were given a rude awakening by Barcelona’s boys in blue. Adrien gives us his take on the adventure.
