Man, it's been busy over here at Be-Mag between all the content from the South American Nimh Tour and all the action going down in Europe! Enjoy this update/edit - #5 from the Nimh South America Tour!
Did we mention Cj Wellsmore is a crazy beast on his Rollerblades? Yes we did. But we have to correct ourselves: CJ Wellsmore is a terminator! Kato is bringing him through the country and Cj just destroys all the skateparks left and right they are passing by!
While CJ amazes everyone with his uncanny skating, Franky somehow got arrested. As you read this, Kato is most likey trying to get him out of jail! Read on...and post your questions...
After another endless nightshift here comes the Chaz Sands update including an eight minute edit showcasing the REMZ beasts on the Rampworx playground. Everyone has most likely heard about Julius Caesar's famous statement: "Veni, vidi, vici" (meaning "I came, I saw, I conquered"). If you now ask yourself what Caesar has to do with the Chaz Sands Invite, then just watch this edit and you can easily see CJ Wellsmore living out "Veni, vidi, vici" again.
Slash & Dash will be another release we all can look forward to. It's a documentation of the annual Roc City 'Arizona Trip' featuring the great talents skaters like Tim Adams, Austin Paz, Justin Brasco, Grant Hazelton, Dan Barnes, Steve Bruning, Gary Murphy, Dan Birch, Mike Welland, Neil Diskin, Casey McFarland, Jason Reyna, James Johnson, and Mike Torres.

Paul Pelle and Ralf van der Kerkhof just released the latest and third issue of the Dutch Rollerblading Magazine, entitled [MAG]. This issue is jam-packed with some nice stories, reviews, pictures and some other great content. Take a peek down here.
Jonas Hansson (the director of Flygt and some of last years most illustrious edits) is currently shooting for a new film entitled Traitement. The project is a collaboration with Be-Mag and will feature an ensemble of international rollerbladers. Jonas recently spend a week of filming with Mathieu Heinemann and Kaare Lindberg in Paris. Rest assured you will hear more about the development of Traitement in the following months. For now, enjoy this article and short clip of Heinemann at the Paris shoot.
Adelaide turned on the weather and Australia turned on the skating for the 2010 Australian Rolling Open. Little Razors ripper Tom Coley-Sowry lead the charge in the U18s, taking the prize with flawless tricks and ultimate steeze on nearly every obstacle in the park. The open final came down to a hectic fifteen minute jam session which effectively came to a head when Danny Jensen laced one of the biggest disaster Kind Grinds you will ever see!
The snow has finally melted in Minnesota and it's time to street skate (comfortably) again. It is a big transition switching from skating park every day to skating street again. We have all been itching to get out and start filming for TML3.
The NYC scene has been blowing up over the last year or two - again becoming what it was years ago: one of the global meccas of rollerblading that defines a culture. One of the companies playing a part in this transformation is the online magazine Art of Rolling (AOR). We hope you enjoy this interview with Angelo Ferrer, the man behind AOR!
Who is B.free (Brian Freeman)? Want to know more about his place with Street Artist, hip-hop, rollerblading (and skateboarding)? Check out the interview!
The first Ignition Session is going to be on the 8th of may. It will take place at the Ringstraße skatepark in Berlin.
It's going to be the first of many following sessions this summer. We will host the session every two months in the best outdoor parks in and around berlin. During the winter, we will take the session to the indoor skateparks in the east of Germany.
It's safe to say that what you and I take for granted isn't the reality in most of South America. We assume we can order a pair of skates online and have them shipped to our house. We assume we can see pros at a comp in our country. South America? Not so much. And yet they have one of the most vibrant scenes anywhere in the world - read on!
