"I wanted to start a wheel company without forcing my riders to leave their current sponsors so I started Genre to be marketed and sold separately from Denial. The first video was a lot of work but it ended up being successful and I planned to follow it up in one year.Shortly before the release of this video I lost two of my pros. Then another pro needed his footage for his skate sponsor, while another was skating less and less. There were troubles with the law, trouble with money, children, night shifts, family; nothing but drama. It seemed wrong to put out a video without a single section by our pro riders.The company changed and I apologize to all my current Denial pro riders for holding onto this footage for so long. Your skate sponsors have changed, your clothing has changed, your music tastes have changed but your footage is too good to be left unseen. ...or maybe we're just in Denial."-Majette
This April the Boom Tour will hit Portugal from the 8th to the 11th. Al Hooi, Ricardo Lino, Samuel Dias, Bruno Santos and many more will make sure to have a good time so be there.
How could you possibly articulate the atmosphere of the Pow-Wow qualifiers? Drunken stunt blading, loosely structure chaos, southern bedlam... that is exactly how I would accurately portray my experience at the these qualifiers. An unending chorus of hell yeahs followed by a level of skating that could give any staple competition a run for the money (and keep in mind that this was just the qualifier event).
Fellow skater Brandon Ballog released issue 6 of Rollzine some time ago, if you haven't seen it already, go check it out. It features profiles on Chris Shields and Shane Coon. Good stuff!
