INFO:
Everything will be similar to last year, for those who came. But, unlike last year this weekend is not* the same as comic-con so hotels and crowds should be reasonable!

A great era in rollerblading, arguably it’s peak. 2003 Rolling Foundation Competition Circuit full length DVD.

I skied, rode moto, bladed, and surfed all in one day and made this video of it. - Beau

A ton of OG’s came together to help Jon Julio put on the Blading Cup, a contest by bladers for bladers. I made this edit from the footage I filmed. We made a TV program for Fox Sports, that was also made by entirely bladers under the tireless direction of Jon. Be sure to watch it over on youtube, and subscribe to the official Blading Cup channel! Support the cause!

I was testing out a new Sony HDR-AS15 camera with a 120fps slow motion feature at RPQ skatepark in San Diego, CA with Geoff Acers, Tim Franken and Carlos Jaquez. 9/2012

Robert’s section never made it in the final DVD, a costly and stupid oversight that still bothers me to this day!

Escozoo OG Louie Zamora’s Orion Live contest in Chula Vista, CA in September 2012 was a great event and guys like Hayden Ball, Dre Powell, and Russell Day threw down.
