Blading Chats

Eugen is one of the most productive bladers in our scene. In constant search of evolution Eugen produces content on content on content. From instagram clips to edit movies in VX to VOD. With him we talked about the situation in Borken about the virus crown, how he finds the inspiration to go skating in the same park and create content in it after more than 10 years and the choice of Japan for his latest vod

René is one of my childhood friends, we grew up together in one of the most famous commercials in Italy. Central Station. Although I'm a blader and he's a sakteboarder we shared the same space for more than 10 years with mutual respect and admiration that over time has turned into a great friendship. With René we talked about skateboarding in Italy, underground skateboarding and skateboarding at the Olympics and the famous Chef Family.

I have not yet had the opportunity to meet Brian live but thanks to these bladingchats I had the opportunity to have a chat with him and it was super interesting. With Brian we talked about photography, the difference between analog and digital, what it means to grow up in Detroit and above all what it means to be part of the Vibralux team.

Billy, Austin, Franco are some of the names that have made New York City so famous. I had the pleasure to meet Billy at the 2008 winterclash and it was an honor to meet him because very often I was inspired by his profiles. With him we talked about the Crown Virus in NYC and LA, the legendary Mindgame, how Billy has evolved his skating style and how the Hip Hop culture has strengthened the blading scene in New York City

since 2006 I have participated in every winterclash and one of the things that has impressed me the most and that continues to impress me is the evolution of Dominic. He is not only able to skate for 4 days in a row on any terrain but he is also able to do it with a smile, motivating those around him and bringing positivity. We talked to him about the current situation in Denmark and how he is facing the epidemic, how skating in CPH has influenced his style and much more.

In our world I'm a big fan of a lot of bladers but for some reason two were my favorite bladers. Chaz Sands and Will Gordon. It must be because they are both super technical skaters or because they ate rails for breakfast I always found their way of skating very motivating! With Chaz we had the chance to talk about his gym, how he tries to overcome the moment with online courses, his career as a blader and how he has become a wildlife photographer.

Ricardo is one of the most friendly and present figures in the skating world.Characterized by his smile that precedes him everywhere he goes is not only a youtuber with 45000 followers, a family man with two girls or an owner together with his wife of a skating shop in South Africa is also a very humble person and always ready to give advice on trick, set up or even as in my case improve the youtube channel. With him we talked about corona virus in Portugal and South Africa. How gangs have joined together to help people near Johannesburg, what it means to be the marketing manager of a skating company right now and much more!

Kirill is not only an incredible skater but also an excellent filmmaker. He is part of the generation born immediately after Andrey Zaytsev's, Evgeny Leonov, who was able to keep the standard high or even exceed it.  With Kirill we talked about the development of his promodel (the second Russian blader to get a promodel) about how his production company is doing and about very interesting future projects!

Josh is one of the most positive figures in contemporary skating. I was lucky enough to spend time with him in 2011 when together with Fritz and Adrien Anne he spent 3 weeks here in Milan and it was incredible. Since then Josh has stayed here in Europe skating around almost all the states until he found his new home in Malaga where together with Uani he founded the Blading Camp. One of the most interesting projects for future generations.

Derek is pure power. With his unique and unmistakable style he is able to electrify anyone. In a mix between hammers and super technical tricks Derek is also able to have a lot of fun with his daughter and this makes him an example father. With him we talked about how the virus crown is coming to Fresno, how he can find the time between a full-time job, family and skating but above all about his promodel and the editing that Gregory Preston is filming.
