In part 11, our plane sets down in Lima, Peru. The first place we went after the airport was a restaurant with a giant owl on the wall. It was so similar to the Nimh logo, we knew we had come to the right place.
In the past months South America Rollerblading has been getting more and more attention from the industry. Just recently the USD- and the NIMH-Team toured through the vibrant countries of Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia. One South American country (that is definitely not to be sneezed at) has been neglected during those trips. Since Be-Mag is always looking for the underground and grassroots scenes around the globe, we are happy to showcase you some Argentina rolling flavor. Here, dedicated rollers are about to change their underground and grassroots status and put Argentina on the big map. Local heroe Francisco March provides us with a great insight into the Argentina Rolling scene and Argentina itself. Check it out.
Some weeks ago the Hedonskate crew met up with Billy O'Neill and Demetrios in Sweden George to shred the country from the east to the west and back! Here we go with the first official edit of the Sweden Go Green tour.
The idea of a free online magazine came to mind, which we started in January 2010. Holland has had some magazines in the past (I mainly refer to Funbox but there have been others), but not anymore for some years now. There are several nice free online magazines now, but none of them show the real potential of the Dutch rollerblading scene.
It has now been well over a year and a half of filming for the new Razor video, Game Theory. Over this time period we have literally traveled around the world with some of the best skaters on the planet making what I know will be an epic skate video. Love them or hate them the Razors team is composed of some of the hardest workers and the most unique individuals Ive ever met, which is why I believe the team is so complete. Everyone has their own style, outlook on life, and a certain way they like to skate but when we all come together everyone is able to connect. What this does is allows everyone to learn from each other and obviously skate better. With the video deadline approaching everyone is anxiously anticipating the release of the video and even though the amount of tricks everyone needs has been met, the whole team is still motivated to go out and skate everyday in hopes of making their section even stronger. Personally, Ive never spent so long filming for a video and I think that will be shown through the video with such a wide array of tricks, scenery, and style. Im so happy to be part of this project and I think the video will be something that we can all be proud of.
Day three and Bruno had the day off! With a day of rain on the cards we piled into the RB car and drove to Linz skatepark (2 1/2 hours from Munich), Bruno sleeping the whole journey like always on tour.
Jonathan Craig has visited Vancouver and joined the Grand Opening of the Shop-Task Shop. Here you can see him shredding one of Vancouver's skateparks with local Shawn Adair.
Be-Mag is a global rolling magazine. Since the foundation of Be-Mag back in 1996 we have been striving to show you the different rolling scenes all around the world - no matter how big or how small they are. It's our goal to show you how Rollerblading survived, ascended or developed in different parts of this world. Here we start our first Scene report with the guys from South Africa. Their scene might be small, but their unique dedication to the sport make them bigger than they appear.
Rob Guerrero and Greg Mirzoyan were touring Europe to film Rob for a TRS online section and needed a guide around Munich as Bruno was insanely busy with the final stages of his Media Design apprenticeship.
We arrived at the Hangaren-Skatepark in Linköping and the session started. Demetrios got some guys juiced to bust some really sick tricks, unfortunately the skatepark was only open until 6pm so we had to leave early.
So we had an amazing time in Eskilstuna to say the least...Nothing better than sessioning with the kids at "ZeroOneSix" an extremely sick park built by the man himself Igor Jovanovic and Fredrik Andersson. Having a chance to teach some stretches to keep them healthy and truly getting involved grass roots Hedonskate style.The sessions popped off with Billy's imaculate steez and Nils Jansons' crushing every obstacle. Not to mention the street skating that went down, Eskilstuna holding us down can't wait to come back soon. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for our next stop at Hangaren in Linkoping. Hedonskate and USD represent...
Barcelona! Last stop of the Nomades tour. The team was tired, so we had to find some rest in a hostel located in the heart of downtown for the first night. Bad!
