Empir3’s Japan Tour, Day 12

The twelfth day of Empir3’s Japan tour consisted of everyone getting ready to go home, so the photo set has no skating pictures in it. Instead we get to see some great shots of everyone saying their goodbyes, traveling, plus we get some more scenery shots. I will some photos below, but to see the rest go HERE.

Brian Bruno USD Flow Edit

The Integrated Distribution blog recently updated with an edit of Brian Bruno that was shot and edited by Nick Pietrobon. The edit showcases some fantastic street skating, with Brian skating some high ledges, down rails, plus many other obstacles. All the tricks look very well done, and very stylish, and I was very impressed.

Cameron Card’s “Blood, Pride and True” Section

The Integrated Distribution blog just made an amazing post, and put up Cameron Card’s “Blood, Pride, and True” section. Right off the bat I am going to tell you that this section is amazing, and it honestly made me want to pick up the video. Cameron’s grinds are stylish, his gaps are huge, and the obstacles that he skates are not for the faint of heart. I would go as far as to say that I love this section. If you want to see the original post, go HERE.

Jeff Dalnas’ Rollerblade Monthly Edit #6

Jeff Dalnas recently posted up his sixth edition of his Rollerblade Monthly edits. This month Jeff is skating a box, and throwing down some amazing tricks on it. Jeff is one of the few rollers who can make skating a practice box look good, and it actually keeps my attention. I originally got this information from the Be-MAg messageboard, so if you want to see the original post go HERE.

Be-Mag Issue 29 Cover…Plus a Free DVD

This issue of Be-Mag promises to be a good one, not only do you get all the usual Be-Mag goodness, such as, Chris Farmer: The Negative Side, a Gabriel Hyden Interview, a San Francisco History Lesson, a Sleepless tour Barcelona article featuring the Powerslide Team, a article on the Fear And Loathing tour featuring Richie Eisler and Canada’s finest, plus so much more. Not only do you get all this, but you also get a free DVD that is called Flygt, which is a dvd from Denmark that was created by Jonas Hansson. So there is no excuse, everyone should be picking up this issue of Be-Mag and enjoying all the written and video goodness.

RollDC Park Edit

The RollDC website recently updated with a great park edit that features skating from the likes of Jon Jon Bolino, Ross Anthony, Brian Long, plus others. The edit was shot at the Wakefield skate park in Fairfax. The skating is all top notch, and the quality of the video is rather good, plus you can download it if you go HERE!

Jack Be Nimble Trailer….Amazing!

I recently saw this trailer on the Be-Mag messageboard, and I have to say after pressing play I was amazed. “Jack Be Nimble” is a video that follows a group of rollers who traveled 20,000 miles in 2004 to follow the Roll Series events. These rollers were not sponsored, and basically paid their way to attend each competition. The video will be making its rounds on the film festival circuit before it makes its way into shops, with the first film festival being  the Illinois International Film Festivals, which takes place on September 20th. Personally, I think this looks like an extremely promising video, and I was really, really, impressed with the trailer. If you want more information about the video and upcoming screenings go HERE. Lastly, use that same link provided to post any film festivals you may know of, because the creators may enter the video to that specific film festival.

Shop-Task Thursday Night Skate Session.

As most of us know, Leon Basin, the owner of Shop-Task, has been visiting Ontario for the past week and will be leaving on Saturday. So he has called the Ontario Thursday Night Session (TNS) to be at Mississauga’s Iceland skatepark today (August 28th). This will give everyone a chance to have a good time skating, and possibly pick up some T-shirts and wheels and save some money on shipping!

New SDSF Edit by Eric Schrijn

The SDSF blog recently updated with another great Eric Schrijn edit. The edit features skating from the likes of  Robert Lievanos, Brent Hicks, Alex Wick, Jay Moreno, Russell Day, and Winston Wardwell, plus many others. With names such as those you know the skating is no joke, plus Eric edits the footage well, so  you should be pressing play right now. If you want to see the original post go HERE.
