Canadian Roll

Recently the Valo Website made the official announcement that Alex Broskow has joined the team, and has a full section in the We Are Valo 2 video. This should come as no surprise to anyone since Alex was on the Roces team just before they pulled out of the Rolling market, and Valo uses the same hard boot design for their skates. It is good to see Alex get a sponsor who is deeply involved with the rolling industry, because he is one of the most professional rollerbladers on the scene. I remember in past interviews Alex saying he liked Roces because they were so slim, this may mean that his pro-boot may be a slimmer then the traditional Roces, but that is all speculation.

Thursday Night Session Edit

Bladr just posted an edit of the Thursday Night Session that went down on May 16th, 2007. You can download the whole edit, but it is rather large so it may take a while, but is definitely worth it. I highly suggest everyone check it out. If you don’t want to wait, there is a youtube version that you can check out HERE. Much respect goes out to AJ DeLong for making such a great edit.

Oli Bennet posted up a video on the new Deshi soul plate that explains everything about the new plates in great detail. If you are deciding whether you should pick up the CH1 and you live in North America I highly suggest you take a look at the edit because the new souls are what you will be getting with your skate. You can either drop by the Conference to watch the video, or you can go to youtube HERE.

Pictures from the Thursday session that took place on May 17th at Iceland.

The Conference has constantly said that they will push to be more involved with the rolling community, from constantly testing products to make them perfect, to releasing products at a constant rate, and especially keeping their customers constantly updated on the latest news, so it should come as no surprise that they have relaunched the Deshi website so it is more up to date and provides its customers with the latest information.

The website now has a lot of information on the new CH1 skate, substantial information on their whole team including pictures and videos, a art gallery, and most importantly, an easy to navigate website .

So go check out the new Deshi website at www.deshtruction.com\
