AG + RS + VE + ML

We update this one all the time, so if you have been waiting for this post you’ve missed quite a few updates!

We have snakes, bears, lions, wolves and badgers all getting down with the amall party shades, and thanks to Charles we now can add one more party animal to the pack.

The quality of on-line edits just keeps getting better and better. Here are a just a couple that popped up yesterday.

CTV - JEFF DALNAS *NEW* from ConferenceTV on Vimeo.

Here we have aMALL team rider Jeff Dalnas tearing up his home state - Rhode Island in yet another CTV edit by Matty Watky. Check it in HD on Vimeo for the full effect.

Scribe Urethane Presents “Blake O’Brien Pro Wheel” from Paul John on Vimeo.

Next on the list is an ad done for Blake O’Brein’s pro wheel from scribe. Not a whole lot of skating but done pretty cool if you ask me.

Brand New Trick Tip!!!
Victor was in town and we thought who better than him to teach you a new trick. Click the play button and add an new trick to your trick vocabulary.

Title reads “First kink rail.” Props on getting the cahones together to step outside your comfort zone and try a kinker, but a farf for your first trick? Common man, but you were asking to be featured on “bail of the week” for that one.

Still you have no excuse for not showing… 7-9:30(when they close).  It’s $5 to skate, but free to park.  You will probably need something to cover your elbows (a l/s shirt, pads, socks, shoes etc.) and most definitely a helmet. See you there or else you will have to endure eternal ridicule.

The new Xsjado mooks have arrived just in time to be perfectly matched up with the latest batch of Xsjado Farmer boots and Xsjado Wilson boots. The phone lines are already busy with Mook Mayhem.

JonJon & Montre DENIAL edit Aug09 from DenialTv on Vimeo.

I’ll let that speak for itself!

A recent debacle has emerged over the past few days about a Church run Florida skate park that denied rollerbladers entry for it’s own personal reasons. The kid that was denied made a post about it on be-mag and hilarity ensued… Mainly due to direct contact to the park from the heavens above.

This one is definitely worth checking out!

 AND HEY BRIAN KRANS, THANKS FOR THE AMALL SHOUT!

 

San Francisco has always been the starting and end point for thousands of rollerbladers across the world.

Ever since the early 1990s when rollerblading first began, the Bay Area has been home to an array of talented pro skaters such as Jon Julio, Vinny Minton, Brian Shima and Robert Gurrero. Many local skaters, including sponsored amateurs, are part of the JSF Crew.

The urban cityscape filled with down ledges, curvy handrails and a perfect blading climate, coupled with a strong heart in the business side of the rollerblading industry, beckon skaters from across the world.

One of the area’s local hotspots — seen in countless rollerblading and skateboarding videos — are the ledges and rails at 3rd and Army.

Some legendary spots like Hubba’s Hideout may be rendered nearly un-skateable, but bladers are finding plenty of street spots to skate, along with area skate parks. Local skaters have a regular session Tuesday night at the Walnut Creek skate park.

Besides the skating, many companies in rollerblading have been located in the Bay Area, including Able Frames, Dyna Wheels, Runner’s Project backpacks, Monx, Valo Skate Brand, and Aggressive Mall skate shop. Opened in 2006, D-Structure in the Upper Haight was a haven to bladers, but the shop has since trimmed down its skating connections.

In 2000, the underground street skating competition “I Match Your Trick Association” or IMYTA was founded in San Francisco. The IMYTA spread across the globe into a multi-nation grid. It was rollerblading’s first organized street skating competition.  Other competitions in the Bay Area have included the Blade Comedy Jam, the Kind Grind Classic and The Grindin’ Getdown.

The Web site StabYourselfintheFace.com was founded by San Francisco-native “Tommy Boy” and many of their contributors live in the Bay Area.

San Francisco and the remainder of the Bay Area are constant features in numerous skating videos. The Hyphy Trilogy was made, filmed and starred Bay Area skaters. The NorCal scene was featured in the highly anticipated ONE Video.

IF ONLY WE HAD COOL LIGHTS ON OUR SKATES.

Still you have no excuse for not showing… 7-9:30(when they close).  It’s $5 to skate, but free to park.  You will probably need something to cover your elbows (a l/s shirt, pads, socks, shoes etc.) and most definitely a helmet. See you there or else you will have to endure eternal ridicule.

Here we got Jake Slamin’ one for us in the city. That backslide would have been cool too…
