When Be-Mag first approached me about doing an interview I was super stoked on the opportunity. I've been a reader since issue 1 and own a copy of every issue. I am both humbled and honored to grace the pages of this fine magazine with an interview.

In the rolling world there is a lot of hype on the South America scenes recently. And that's simply justified. The scene below the equator is ripe and thriving right now. Earlier this year we featured the NIMH South America tour through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru here on be-mag. Now Razors adventures the trip to South America as well. With their first tour stops in Chile they turned a whole national rolling community inside out. Make sure you check out this tour stop and you can already look forward to some more coverage (soon on be-mag exclusively) from this country which ranges over 39 lines of latitude from the North to the South. Thanks to William Lobos and his friends for all the work they put into this update. This update not only features the beauty of our sport, it features the beautiful things that comes with rollerblading: intercultural friendships, memories and experience.

Here is a montage from the last stops of the Sweden GoGreen tour. This edit features a mixture of Swedish, Polish, American and Latvian rolling talents in cities such as Linköping, Eskilstuna and Västerås.

No matter which park you set in front of Sven, there is no doubt he will kill it. Here he is shredding his home town park in Hertogenbosch! See Sven this weekend in Berlin for the Grindhouse Miniramp Masters and the international Halfpipe comp at the YOU tradeshow.

I will be just repeating myself by writing that this youngster has mad skills, raw talent and an awesome brother who is a professional video editor which as we all know is crucial to get some good recognition. Yet even the best conditions for developing a rollerblading 'career' are nothing without your own will and love for the sport. Nils has both, there is no doubt about it. While I have to remind some of our team riders to send some clips or photos from time to time, Nils is bombing my e-mail box constantly with new stuff by himself. I'm sure he would be ripping with the same level even if he wouldn't have any sponsors or outside support. During tours Nils is always skating no matter what – bad spots, good spots, skate alone or with a large group of people – no problem with that. As he has just matured, a true rollerblader soul is fully awaken – skate hard and party even harder! I'm sure he is the right man in the right place - Nils Jansons is 18. Nils Jansons is in constant progress. Nils Jansons is the future...

Shock and Frenchy Fries are joining forces to invite you to a friendly shred session throughout the streets of downtown San Francisco. No contest or prize giving, just an occasion to get together in the heart of the city and prove that the « rollerblading fad » is far from being dead. Come meet them at 9PM at the infamous Embarcadero spot this next Friday, and enjoy a great time along fellow rollerbladers!

Be-Mag always looks for the up and comers enriching our sport with some fresh and new style. If you have been at the Winterclash 2010 you may have witnessed one new kid flowing around the park with huge airs and lots of power. The talk is about Andy Gilbert, the Liverpool kid that's talented like only a few in his age. We contacted Andy through Matthew Dearden (Rampworx) and asked him if he could do a "One Minute One Spot" for us. The guy doesn't talk much, he just does it. So here is his answer to our request.Thanks to Matthew Dearden for organizing this One Minute One Spot!

The tour started off by picking up Damien Wilson and Casey aka "Nut" McFarland at JFK airport on Monday afternoon. I definitely thought the flight would be delayed, but there is nothing stopping wild boys from Santee from a party. For an hour we cruised around in this infamous air train going around in circles ending up lost in the tube.

A Tour organised by Steven Roy Collis, put together for fun, frolics, and skating with chums from all round southern England. Local hero Steve, decided the best way to make a successful tour would be......to find ten or more people, throw one hundred pounds in each, hire a van, then get me to drive everyone around the South West of England to skate and party for a week.
