We are proud to release Be-Mag print issue 37. Once again we have taken a trip throughout the world to capture the best of skating worldwide. We started off in Australia with a CJ Wellsmore interview showcasing the Australian powerhouse. CJ Wellsmore took the WRS crown for 2010 and you can be sure that he will make waves again this year. For Europe, we only chose to portray one of the skaters that has been around for a few years, Sven Boekhorst, who constantly shows a true dedication for skating. In the USA we caught up with Kevin Yee, who shared his inspirational thoughts with us. In Europe we packed a van and toured through Italy with some of Europe's finest. Then we decided to show you how skating has been developing in Poland, where vast areas of old industrial production facilities are empty and open for the rolling heart. And last but not least we covered the WRS Finals, the SDSF competition and the FISE.
Photographer Holger Thalmann stopped by the booths that are relevant to your interests at this years ISPO tradeshow in Munich, Germany and snapped some pics.

His name says it all: Paco Rey, literally translated in English as "Paco King" is a very descriptive name for this guy. And what better first name for a Spanish dude than "Paco"? He has way too many stories to share with the world and I am sad that because of his English not being too good, most of them are kept amongst Spanish ears. Luckily for me I had the chance to cross ways with him and have known him for a long time now. He is very loyal to his thoughts and will always take the good part out of the worst situation. Another good thing about Paco is that there is no place for stress in his world and this rubs off to everyone around him. He will take you to his world and you won't be able to stop laughing. Its for things like that you want to have this paco on every tour, on every trip and possibly at least once a month.

»The whole crew had independently decided on a skate through the sunshine city just for the enjoyment of skating, despite only having slept a few short hours. Rollerskating along the seafront is what my life has become and I love it. Let me just turn my cap back to front and adjust the Ghetto Blaster on my shoulder.«
I have no idea when this was first released or which project it was part of probably taken from TV. I only know its a throwback of epic proportions. Watch Arlo making ways and Rawlinson getting stitched up. Med Abrous, Brian Smith, Tom Fry and Ryan Jacklone. Do I need to say more? Footage from ca. 1996.
