Chris Haffey has won the 10th Bitter Cold Showdown! ***Results: 1.) Haffey, 2.) Bolino, 3.) Aragon, 4.) Broskow, 5.) Soichiro*** The level of rolling tonight was absolutely unbelievable! All of us said that this year's Winterclash set a new bar? Bitter Cold met it with no problem... amazing! 2010 is a bright year for rollerblading!
The part about updating from an event like this that people don't see is the hours of monotonous work - like Kris Troyer sorting through the hundreds of photos he took last night for the BCSD Qualifiers. But, hey, there are much worse gigs in life... Enjoy!
Everyone's here at BCSD! Ok, everyone except the European guys whose flights got cancelled because NYC shut down in a snowstorm... But almost everyone is here and Drew Humphrey shot a great serious of random "hello's" from some of rolling's finest!
One of the great things about a major competition/tradeshow like Bitter Cold is that everyone is here! Pretty much every pro, up-and-coming am, and industry head is in attendance. Mark Korte, who runs things over at Powerslide and the Conference, was kind enough to sit down for a few minutes and share his thoughts on the USD All-Star Team, skate technology, and a few other topics...
BCSD X is under way! The park opened for session at noon, the pros and companies are arriving and the park is already being destroyed with tricks! Here are a few iPhone photos for everyone. Be-Mag's media team has arrived now for the most part and we'll be getting proper updates coming very soon! -B
I ran into Tad for the first time at a local skatepark I used to skate by myself while I was going to college. I had skated that park for months without ever seeing another rollerblader. It took me by surprise when I showed up and there were bladers there that killed it, yet I had never met them before.
