Vinny Minton is one of those guys that oozes swagger. I still remember the first time that I saw Vinny skating in person. We were in our mid teens at the ASA World Finals in Las Vegas and he was skating a pretty hairy down rail, crushing farfig switch-ups in some blue flats. Vinny was a true professional and was never selfish or lazy in his prime. While he traveled the world and could have just skated and collected checks, he used his recognition to create a video series that highlighted both well-known and underground bladers. Vinny has changed professions and become successful in another field but he still does more for blading than most. Vinny is now working with large production houses and penning deals with companies like RedBull and Glidecam, Vinny shows that “going out to screw around with your friends” can actually teach you a great trade.

Veteran clip producer and super shredster (also AMALL team rider) Jeff Dalnas is a straight machine. Able to drop hammers in a single bound and sections in less than a weekend. Here he is getting it done in DC with a fresh pair of USD’s Carbon II skates, scheduled to be released this holiday. So get your check book out out, erm - I mean credit cards because you gone want NEED a pair after this.
Austin Rides for AMALL. Yinz already knew that though. So here’s and edit with him skating some new Eulogy wheels. HMMM Wonder if this means new wheels are right around the corner.
This part reminds me why Brandon is one of my favorite skaters. Effortless park skating is where it’s at for me right now, so I got this on repeat for the moment.
According to the description it states he is skating the new USD Imperials which is a carbon with a cuff. Looks like he is skating normal carbons? Maybe it’s a plastic skate?
I know most of you may have seen this, but we had to re-post it anyways. Basically Amall team rider ‘Sneaky’ submitted this little gem of an edit to Razors. In this short edit Sneak throws down and brings you some never before seen ‘COMBOS’ so enjoy!
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, aside from being a professional rollerblader, how do you like to spend your days?
I don’t really like spending my days like this, but I’ve also got a little part-time job as a customer service rep for game support. (Actually at work right now.) And if i’m not blading I’m ethier playing pool, shooting hoops, or out drinking with my big boobie gf.
