We've been to Roskilde many times now and we thought we were repaired for everything. This years demo – which was held in contest style – was by far the biggest one ever though! Conditions like temperature, sun and the large amount of girls in the audience pushed the riders' motivation to the maximum. After an hour of skating Erik Bailey finally saved his party program for the night by winning 1000 Roskilde Dollers! 

Here we are again. The Roskilde Festival 2011 is running and it feels like it never stopped. Huge smiles all over the place and more happy vibes than you could handle in real live. The riders line-up is the best we had so far at the festival. We got riders from all over the world. While I'm writing this text, Montre is cruising the park and it seems like people are excited to see good rollerblading.

It's about 7am and we are on the outskirts of Milan in Italy, searching for the hotel which will serve as housing for the next 3 days. Warren Digne, the conductor of the tour took care of booking it and it is the honeyed voice of our GPS which took us right to its front door. After a short tour at the reception, surprise, we will not be in the space provided, but in apartments a few steps away.

Last week my friend Jason Adriani called me saying that he got a message from Adrien Anne who told him that he will be in Milan with the Nomades Tour during the week end. I thought that I should take this chance to have a good session and to take pictures for my website, so I packed up my skates and my camera and took a train to Milan on Thursday.

Montre continues to shred his way through the Netherlands! This time he stopped at Rotterdam Skateland to session...

Is my homeboy

Here's a small edit featuring some of the tricks Montre was lacing yesterday during the pre-session and the soul session at Sloterdijk. Stay tuned a for a bigger edit with more tricks and also tricks from Skateland, where we will be skating today! Shout out to all the Be-mag readers from Montre!

Montre Livingston is touring Europe at the moment to promote his new pro model and to hang out and skate with his friends from Europe. Find the tour schedule here and make sure to join one or many of the stops if you live in the area!

Like every year, Be-Mag will report live from the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. One of the most special festivals in the World will open its doors on Saturday night and next to happy vibes, beautiful people, great music and tons of stuff to do, there will also be some shows to present Inline to a wider public.

It rained all day today. I am now writing from Milan, Italy where we are on our 3rd day of the Nomades Tour. I have now officially been on the road for a month and 2 days and I uh... am not actually sure how to feel about it, haha. Life has changed quite a bit for me in the last month and a half. Before I left I was living in Orange County and was a Raw Vegan for 2 and a half months. Now I am not living in Orange County any more, am back on the road till at least August 16th (when RB Cali Tour ends) and have been basically on the bread, cheese, beer, and fizzy water diet since I have been in Europe. I love fizzy water.

Traitement was filmed and edited by Jonas Hansson and features skating by Dominik Wagner, Robert Guerrero, Jacob Juul, Gabriel Hyden, Mathieu Heinemann, Anders Rishøj and Marc Moreno. This Be-Mag production was filmed in Paris, Copenhagen, Berlin, Chicago, Innsbruck, Barcelona and New York. The video is now available for download on Freestyle Culture!

After the price giving at the Fise we left straight to Italy for the RB 2012 Collection presentation. In total it was a 950 km drive which took us 8 hours. I started driving the first 2 hours but soon I felt my eyes getting heavy. So Rob took over and drove almost straight to Italy, thanks to the Red Bull he took 2 hours before arriving.
