On April 9th, Hyper Mike held a competition at the Pier 25 skate park in Manhattan. The turnout for this battle style/jam session competition was great. Skaters from all over the Tri-State and NYC came out to watch the one on one battles and session the park. Among these bladers were Franco Cammayo, Hector "Tato" Gonzalez and special guest Dominik Wagner who came out to experience the NYC skate scene in full effect. Enjoy this edit by Sam DeAngelis and stay tuned for more competitions from hypermikenyc.com all Spring/Summer long!

Scott Riddles from scottishrolling.com sent us two edits from the Loco LoveScotland tour stop in Edinburgh.  Check out...

It's been an eventful couple of days. We drove to Aberdeen on Tuesday in the daytime for the 6-10 session at Transition Extreme skatepark. Bailey worked the bowl while Leon murked the streetcourse. We went to a club in Aberdeen where Elliot got chucked out (/sneaked back in) 3 times. Aberdeen local Andrew Tough hooked us up BIG TIME with some apartments on the docks... heated bathroom floors and all the trimmings. Wednesday we managed to film 32 clips on one street spot thanks to Lomax, Elliot Stevens and local 'Gammy'...

Daniel Fabiano comes up with a great park edit filmed at the Shields Skatepark in New Jersey.

Make sure to be there.

Both tour vans arrived in Glasgow on Sun night. We brought Chaz Sands with us. Chaz hooked up a lock-in at Unit 23, only to mess up his shoulder on a cab 540 wall ride early on in the session. Monday night was the planned session at EK park in East Kilbride. The skatepark is less than a year old and part of a big sports complex... it also happens to be pretty frikkin awesome. Tuffnell killed it, Elliot did top acid up to disaster hurricane top acid down on the grind box plus more. Loads of clips got laced. Here's a few spares/tasters for you below plus photos...

Some more photos and video. Beautiful day at the Noiya Jam on Saturday. Lots of people chilling out side PLUS BBQ. Nick Lomax came 1st, Elliot Stevens 2nd Alex Burston 3rd. Burston also had the craziest collision with James Keyte (ending the whole contest in the process!) Hope your butts feel better guys! Lomax laced back to back tricks including his usual technical grind plus corkscrew 900 from quarter to flatbank. Elliot flowed the park and laced acid soul 720 and hurricane disaster Fish. Apparently there were 100 more people at the Jam than last year. Nice one Tim Darker!

As the weather gets nicer on the East Coast, bladers from all over are starting to flood New York City in hopes to catch the first clips of the season. Angelo Ferrer, owner of Art of Rolling Magazine, has taken it upon himself to organize tour events throughout NYC to kick off the Spring. Some of the most talented skaters in NYC and the Tri-State showed up for the first installment to shred for Art of Rollings camera. The tours intention is to conquer skate spots, new and old, and raise awareness of our sport throughout the city.

Been at the Noiya Jam in Sheffield all day on the way up to Scotland. Success all the way. Lomax came first and our new rider Elliot Stevens came second. Going to Manchester tonight... more Noiya updates to follow...

Day 1 of the LocoSkates LoveScotland tour. Erik arrived in the UK Thursday. We picked up the vans Friday. The Silver one is looking particularly fresh with the tour vehicle graphics.

And here is the next Barn Burner edit featuring the rolling madness straight from Seattle.

Check out this new edit featuring Takeshi Yasutoko - filmed with his helmet camera. It's good to get some refreshing news from Japan once in a while.

The new Be-Mag Spring 2011 clothing line has been launched under the well-known slogan "Spread the Word". This is more than just a slogan, more than just a one-liner on a t-shirt, it’s our message that we delivered right from the beginning. It's the philosophy of each skater supporting the act of rollerblading. "Spread the Word" stands for a certain attitude in life and captures how important Rollerblading is to you. Wearing this collection represents your commitment to the sport and shows you are living Rollerblading everyday to the fullest.

Some say its disturbing to some its the coolest thing they have ever seen. No animals were harmed during the making of this movie.

Our journey continues and we've made some new friends and we bring you for this update some more stories and screenshots of the upcoming "Malta Experience Edit". Enjoy.(Tour is over, so the days mentioned in the text are from last week!)
