Hamilton Photos.
What happens when Rob the Rat and Jon Craig come down to Hamilton (or the Dirty Hache as Rob likes to call it)? Well they makes people on the street notice that they are dropping hammers. Recently both of them came down to skate with me and Roger and I was able to snap some good photos. Enjoy.
Roger laughing at a security guard, unfortunately that big guy was also with her.
Jon was the first one to hit this spot in Hamilton, Top acid through the kink, royal down.
Jon lookin all pimpin after killing the rail.
People watching the madness go down.

I just saw this post on Be-Mag and I think it is a pretty big deal. A Size 8/9 limited edition Brian Aragon Razor skate has been put on Ebay to raise money for the SDSF Open (which is going down October 6th at the Escondido Skate park, and is offering $ 12,000 dollars). This is a one of a kind skate that no one will have, it is a Genesis boot mold, it isn’t the new Razor prototype skate, but it features the Ground Control Horn featherlight frame, the Jug ninja liner, the Razors one piece soul, and XL backslide plate. If you want to bid on the skate and help raise money for the SDSF you can go to Ebay HERE (bidding in American dollars). If you want to check out the original Be-Mag post go HERE.

According to Rolling Revival, this is the most special vidcast that they have ever posted up, and I must say, I agree. This edit is presented by the Roll Series, Roll Media Studio and is an official Brazillionaire production, and deals with the 2007 Windy City Riot. The production is really well done, it is one of the better edits I have ever seen, so I think people should really check it out. One important note is, the guys from Revival have said to spread this video as much as possible, so if you have a website, blog, or just want to add it to a media site, do it. As always, subscribe to Rolling Revival on Itunes, if you haven’t already, and also, subscribe to their Youtube page. To see the new vidcast main page go to THIS PAGE.
**Side Note: At the end of the edit there is also details on the up and coming Roll Series park circuit that will include Bittercold showdown, Superhick, Barn Burner, SDSF and more.**

What is Rolligious ?
If you go to any major Canadian rolling messageboard you will notice a message by Tommy Dixon, who is talking about Rolligious. Now you might ask yourself what is rolligious? well I have gathered all the information I can on the website / movement and here is a summary.
- It doesn’t support specifically rollerblading, but every ramp sport (including BMX, Skateboard).
-Rolligious has been around and been a trademarked company since 2001.
-It was founded by Tommy Dixon and Daryl Little.
- It has put on such events as Punk in the Park, which promoted 5 new punk and metal bands to play at Shaw Millennium Park (in Calgray) every Sunday of the 2007 summer.
- Brought the sound system, mics, and gear for the Popularity Contest this year.
-Held the King of the Street Competition in Calgary, which put out a lot of prize money.
-They promise to hold video premiers all winter long.
- Have held numerous generator nights and 9-11 bike jams.
- The website will have information on their team riders (BMX, skateboardings and rollerblading), info on events, news, a park finder (which anyone who is on their network can add to), a forum, and Instant Messaging.
- People will be able to add videos, trailers, edits, music, and photos to the website.- It has made a few T-shirt designs, but is not mainly a clothing company.
-Finally, the website is http://www.rolligious.com/ and was just launched recently, so check them out.
On a personal note, I wish Tom and Daryl all the luck in the world, and I hope people check out their website and contribute. I know I will.
