Blading Chats

I met Ray three years ago in Milan. It's incredible how, thanks to the passion we have, we create bonds with people you know even after half an hour.  We talked to Ray about the history of the New York City scene, what a passion can give you and how the GoSport USA association teaches kids how to turn a sport into a job.

Nicola is able to make skating easy, fluid and interesting at the same time. With his videos where surfing the streets of London has become one of the most influential skaters on instagram. With him we compared the world of freeskating and blading as well as talking about what is happening in London about the virus crown, what it means to migrate to another country and how the passion for free skating was born.

Robbie Pitts I think is one of the most characteristic people in our scene. With his unique style of dressing he has been able to bring a new taste to our scene. We talked to him about Gucci's advertising campaign, what it means to be a model and a blader at the same time and the differences between Los Angeles and Melburne.

Bobi managed to take a platform like Instagram and make it his.  He has perfectly grasped the use of social and has managed to do something that no one has been able to get before.  He is the first Israeli to get a promodel and has managed with Instagram to make Israel a firm point on the map of blading.

Cameron has managed to do something incredible. Despite everything that has happened to him, he has managed to return not only stronger than before, but also with a super engaging energy. In addition to being a great blader in recent years he's been developing together with Long one of the most addictive events of the scene.

Miguel is probably one of the people I've known skating the longest. Despite the technical problems of the first day we managed to bring home a very interesting BladingChats. Much has been said, from the current situation in Puerto Rico with its national pride to the difference of contests like the Fise and the Blading Cup. From what it means to work at woodward to how to transmit energy with passion to anyone who wants to start skating.

gav is one of the key figures in the Australian blading scene. Able to skate on any terrain making a giant trick as easy as a carvata in a bowl. With him we had the opportunity to talk about Corona Virus in Melbourne, what it means to skate for Them Skates and what it means to have grown up in Australia. A land full of talent from the beginning

Aj together with Miguel and Matt Mickey is one of those voices that you recognize, that you feel familiar. Because blading is family. And when you hear a family voice wherever you are, you feel at home.  With him we discussed a quarantine in a house with a swimming pool, the world of Fise, what it's like to be an MC and especially Blade Club.

Austin is one of the cornerstones of the legendary New York City scene. With him we talked about how unreal it is to see Times Square empty, how people in NYC are behaving about Covid19, why The Truth project was born and what it meant to skate for B-Unique.

I had the pleasure of talking to Travis yesterday. Co-founder of Blader Union and super passionate blader just like most of us.  With him we discussed Covid19 in Portland, what it's like to be raised in the city of Aaron Feinberg and the Blader Union mission. One of the most important sources in our scene.
