Justin (theee JH) has been developing his skills at running down stairs while filming with his Glidecam to get some really cool shots. This definitely takes some practice so that you actually keep the skater in the shot while at the same time making sure that you don’t bail down the stairs yourself and hulk all of your filming equipment, especially the new camera you might be hoping to get this Christmas.
In this picture, Justin is catching Nick Lindsey on the first stair set of his two rail line where Justin was sometimes following Nick down the 2nd stair set and sometimes running along an upper walkway to vary the shot. It is actually really fun to watch the whole process and it always puts a smile on anyone’s face who has never seen Justin hustling down stairs with his Glidecam in hand.

We just received the new Ground Control Team DVD and we’re about to leave the shop right now to watch it at JH’s house. I’m excited to see it but I think Dre can barely even wait as he already left to get a few games of Battlefield 3 in before we all get there to view the video. Hopefully he is preparing food and drinks as I type…
UPDATE AFTER WATCHING: THE VIDEO WAS AWESOME, INCREDIBLE SECTIONS, YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO PICK UP A COPY OF THIS DVD!

This post was supposed to happen when these wheels came out but we failed to get a hold of an original Nintendo game console to complete the theme. Everyone thought they knew someone who had one but it turns out they didn’t.
Anyways, here are the new Undercover 2012 video game themed wheels in all of their glory. My favorite is the Demetrious George “Doom” wheel because I think it’s the best graphic and the game wrecked shop.

Real time big player pimp hustler, O.G. blader and long time homie Jayson Reduta just put this session edit together that features some snazzy clips from our ‘buster free’ summer San Jose night sessions. Featuring some of your favorite locals, tracked up to a smooth jam.
We had an interesting time at this undisclosed location of public learning where they publicly lock your cars inside the gates making you have to publicly break out. No thanks to all of the thoughtless people who know you are there enjoying the publicly funded location and don’t say that they are locking you in.
Tim Bahooomaaahaa (his real last name had to be classified for this article) went back to the past to have fun on these fat 60’s or 70’s style rails. Not to be confused with the rails folks were into in the 80’s.

New Genesys 7.4 skate available now decked out with Featherlite v.2 frames, 56mm 90a Razor pro team wheels, ABEC 5 bearings and GC 42mm nylon anti rockers.
Team rider Victor Arias came through the other day to help us promote the new aMALL shirts, which we just released in a bunch of new colors. The v-necks have been a huge hit, of course Vic wanted to rock one for his photo. So here he is, wearing the AM Subtle v-neck in charcoal gray while he laces a picture perfect true miz. on the lower ledge to fish transfer, all while local NON-lookers moseyed about and chewed on rocks.
Sylvestre the lone sniper in position to get the shot. Notice the blades on his feet for a quick getaway just in case his location becomes compromised. It has been rumored that he practices breathing techniques daily but he has neither confirmed or denied that.

K2 updated the look of their legendary Fatty Pro skate for 2012 and gave it a more modern look with a new combination of black and light gray colors with blue highlights.
The Fatty Pro remains one of the lightest skates available and it’s original soft boot technology has stood up to the test of time with some die hard fans refusing to skate anything else.
The new Xsjado JC Rowe pro boot is an incredible looking boot with an urban feel to it with its color scheme of various shades of gray, off white and red. The Rowe’s feature the Xsjado double style upper velcro strap and his new Xsjado mid top footwrap/sneaker.
The Razor Dre Powell 2 skate is now available for pre-order, for those of you looking to be the first on your block to cop the skates. They have an estimated ship date of 11/18/11 which if you do the math is next Friday, 1 week away!
New Shredweiser wheels featuring your dog, Steve Gasstation. Does he earn commission on the wheels? Can you say lobster for breakfast?
Awesome deal on Shredweiser’s first wheel release with a price tag of only 19 bucks (No idea if their wheels are going to stay at this price so get em while this first run lasts). Or get the Shotgun pack with the tee and wheels for only 29 bucks.
Just in case you didn’t know yet, USD has a new liner named the Phoenix, which is a universal skate liner designed to fit in different skates depending on your liner preference. The tongue design is like the tongues on the non removable liners for the USD Carbon skates. So if your current liners are toast, the USD Phoenix liners might just be what you need to bring comfort back to your feet.
“Showing my love for all things Amall. Always been my fav. company and I wanted to get something rollerblading related so whenever I’m done skating I always have that good memory.”
Thanks man, it means a lot to us too. Believe it or not, it’s things like this that keep us motivated and pushing forward.
Moonshine UHMW anti rockers and Create Originals side walls. Valo TV 2.5 skates, Create Original red frames with UHMW Moonshine side walls, Scribe Casey Bagozzi (Amall team rider) v.3 pro wheels and Moonshine 43mm UHMW anti rockers.
Hand made in California by Derek Moon under his company Moonshine, these UHMW anti rockers and side walls for Create Originals frames are just what you need to give yourself longer lasting parts and more speed and smoothness in your grinds. We did a short interview with Derek to ask him about Moonshine and rolling.
When and why did you start Moonshine?
Derek: Around 04, 05 so it has been awhile.
What was the first skate part that you made?
Derek: I believe the first parts I made were genesys wings and that’s when my tools were pretty primitive so they took a while to make but it was very fun and exciting.
What is your favorite thing about making parts for other rollerbladers?
Derek: Well my goal for moonshine has always been to make parts that would perform as well as last because I have seen guys stop skating because they could not afford new parts or skates. I couldn’t tell you how many parts I have given away by actually being able to refurbish them. To be a part of rollerblading in more ways than just skating, watching and hearing how something I made has helped people skate better and land their tricks and not lose their edge and all the positive feed back from even rollers on the east coast. I have sent stuff to europe and asia, now that’s exciting but I could talk all day about how I love blading so ill move on.
How many years have you been blading?
Derek: I’ve been skating my whole life back when skating rinks and select street skating was popular. I loved it then and I love it even more so now with about 11 yrs of aggressive skating under my belt. It is still the best to challenge myself and try to step it up every time I hit the park usually by myself but that’s one of the ways I know I still love it, because if I’m not rollin somethings not right.
What is your current skate set up?
Derek: My current setups: First pair, tv1 white skinless with create O’s, salomon liners (still the best) and moonshine all the way around. Second pair, tv2 black skinless as well, formula freestyle frames with moonshine soles. love the valos.
Any shout outs?
Derek: Yeh! To my wife and children, they just want me to be happy. To juan martinez and the fortunate few who helped come up with the name moonshinesouls as well as juan’s nonstop help and support even from down south he’s been there from day one and I’ve leaned a lot from him. I wanna say what’s up to shaun oberg and thank him for pushing my product to the limit and giving me honest feedback support. Thank you everyone who has given moonshine a chance and continue to support me and rolling itself. peace out!
