  7. justin bridou Says:

    huh, i don’t want to blame the autor of these raw footage.
    For god sake koubis why do you share those videos ?
    Can’t you wait for pro or semi pro edits ?

    You’re doing it wrong.

    props to julien cudot btw.

    Congratulation Cudot !
    I love Illusion tricks by Broskow, it’s a magician.

  11. Shane Says:

    @justin bridou

    I don´t think that it´s right to say that koubis was wrong to post this raw footage online as the majority of us skaters would like to see what has been going down at this years BCSD.

    So if you don´t like raw footages then don´t watch until a proper online edit is put online! In my opinion these footages aren´t that bad at all as you can see what was really going down there and how many tries they needed to land their tricks.
    Thanks for posting koubis!

    u dumbfux talking shit about aragon are fcuking retarded! have u seen game theory i bet ur answer is no. dude is on fuckin top of the game. just cuz u dont compete amazing at a competition doesnt mean he getting bad, shit happens to every1 u gotta b in the right mood to skate, besides the fact that every1 was hammer wasted every night in detroit. this edit is from some1 in the audiance its not quality material its some thing a fan posted. i dont know why every one ever watching videos on this websites has to criticize.

  19. Anonymous Says:

    Deam what a stupid comment “dont like the footage” u have the option of not seeing it, i would not mind criticism of a edit but a raw footage some one need to try understanding the concept of raw footage. Personally i think its cool gives u a diferent perspective a real life one in a sense.

    Any ways, what happened to the charlei conway guy! death!?

    wtf!!!!!

    1. We pwn ya in our own contests 2. Watch the quality of our ”Hospitals” (Poor Hygiene too) before talking about hygiene. 3. Americans fade in line of the years.
    U think America is the center of the world but it’s wrong. Don’t be jaleous ;)

  21. cavalier Says:

    i was there ur bitch anonymous, dont say shit, Aragon hold it down and I m a huge fan of his skating, but as all the old big names, his time is running out, new great shit will replace them, like Julien Cudot, Nils Jasons, Fabio Enes…

  22. J82A Says:

    Aragon, 630 bs royale:0

  23. What trick did he just do? Says:

    Hahahahaha, this had me laughing all the way through, pretty much missed every good trick!

    Crease how his mate was super fast on it, like “illusion 360 ao fish” haha, it was as if he always has to do this for him… lulz “fuck dood, it was a backslide”!!!

    I loved this raw footage, how it would have been if you were there, which would have been dope, but this will do.

    Cudot was unreal in his trick selection, obstacle selection, and consistency…

    And i am not a fan of his, but you cannot deny some of the shit you just witnessed.

    The best being the fish and true mizzou on the rainbow rail… Dangerrrr

    @SHANE: “In my opinion these footages aren´t that bad at all as you can see what was really going down there and how many tries they needed to land their tricks.”

    I totaly agree with you on this part. As i said i don’t blame the autors of the footage, i’ve watched both part i just think it spoil the next edits with better quality.

    i’m a fan of agressive inline, but i’m bored when i watch different edits of the same contest. Plus, creating a good edit of a contest could be a tough work.

    i’m done with my explanation. lol.

    and wtf with the charlie conway final? is he really die?

    i don’t understand why everybody is hating on raw footage. It’s nice to see the actual flow of the comp for a change. Not everybody’s cherrypicked cuts.

    With that said, it’s not good quality and I look forward to watching a high quality video edit later. It was disappointing to hear everybody cheer and not have a trick in frame and then ask what happened? “it was a fish-brain”

    Charlie was fine. Luckily just a concussion.

    this was on be-mag. guess the kid is OK, thank God

  33. bro Says:

    Why do people hate on something like this? Koubis isn’t doing anything wrong by getting results and footage up here asap. I know I’m eager to see what happeneed at bcsd, even though raw footage isn’t on the same level as an edit its also not hurting anyone.

    Most importantly no one should be talking shit on aragon just because he got 2nd. Dude is always doing work, wins all the time, and he is not going downhill in any way. I like cudot but aragon is more refined. How the fuck did shima beat abrate?

  34. nz roller Says:

    yeah JULIEN CUDOT awesome man

  35. Mason H Says:

    stockwell had the most style, fucking crazy. stop bitching about this film quality. dumb fucking kids just bitch and bitch…. haha damn…1st, 2nd, 3rd, dosin’t mean shit anyway. It’s all in the name of fun. You need to go get your roots back if your all stuck on images and placements…watch some brink or something…SOUL SKATING! Just be glad you got to watch our worlds finnest rollers get together and skate.

  36. Your Daddy Says:

    “whatever Americans are trying to do with this watered down version of skating, it ain’t working because JC just took you all to school.”

    I can’t freaking agree more, to an extent. I love all aspects of rollerblading, “art blading”, mini-shredding, bombing hills, having sick style to going all out and laying hammers, but from what I could see in this video was one set of people skating small shit, and the others laying it all on the line. Skating just small stuff doesn’t have a place in a competitive rollerblading situation. That makes a rollerblading contest look like a skateboarding contest. The best rollerbladers are the ones who can skate everything all at once. JC deserves the win because he was shredding on everything. You can hate on “spin to win” if you want to, but it’s ignorant. Spinning is an integral part of rollerblading that for no reason should be left out. I think the only reason people hate on it is because they can’t do it themselves. SHRED EVERYTHING IN THE PARK WITH HARD TRICKS PLEASE.

    i love the tap makio tricks from all the tight pants skaters like skating is cool how tight do my pants have to be to skate in comps like these if they are not size 0 girl pants does that mean i can not compete in ur pre maddona fashon show

    hating on this site is so over rated its not cool anymore people come on get trendy

  41. x Phaggott x Says:

    I would rather see this to show you how true rolling is, not the played up chopped and edited shit they stuff down the newer rollers face. Thank you Koubis for not laying down to trolls and whiners.Don’t get me wrong, I love watching all kinds of edits, but for Razornews to bitch about showing the reality of how rolling is: ROLLING IS NOT ALWAYS PERFECT.

  42. Anonymous Says:

    wait till a good edit comes out, i was there and literally almost every pro that skated did at least one bad ass trick from shima, jc, farmer, montre, kelso, rachard, jbah, woodster, billy o , sochiro, dalnas, the list goooos ooon so everybody chill the fuck out. the viny minton pre edit will b sik as fuck tooo. the only guy that sucked was haffey ironicly.

  43. Joe Says:

    “, i was there … haffey sucked”

    Well Haffey wasn’t there, so how come you saw him?

  44. Anonymous Says:

    Honestly, to me, this final was :

    Cudot landing hammers EVERYWHERE, deserving the win
    Aragon landing hammers just on the ledge, deserving 2nd place

    Now everything else was just a pile of pure shit. Bailey 3rd ? for just a single trick, who suck compare to what were landing the others ?

    Stockwell ? Yea, when I saw his line the first time, I liked the flow. A little less the 2nd time, and even less the 3rd time. When I saw it for the 84th time, I just wanted to kill the guy.

    Broskow ? “ya man, Im so kewl Im just gonna land sum little tricks and ignoring everything else, kewl man, yea, dont care man, too cool, (and I might hurt myself on those big rails also)

    Smith ? It felt like he was tring tricks that everyone masters know for the past 5 years. Yeah, disaster back royale ! Sick ! Unfortunately, We’re not in 1995 anymore

    Kelso ? Best joke ever, taking his whole final trying to land a ugly trick on a shin-high rail. What are those guys doing here seriously ? THEY are making the sport look bad, not the edit

    Bolino ? I think I’ve seen a 360 disaster soul from him at the begining.

    Shima ? Why putting the guy in finals if he doesnt even want to FUCKING SKATE ? what sens does it make ? Id rather see some wanabee trying something than this dude who hasnt lend a trick in years. But I guess it looks cool to have the name “shima” in your list

    Abrate ? He deserved a better place to me. Not because he skated well, he persisted to land some disaster on the ledge, but just because all the above werent event trying.

    To sum it up. Grats to Cudot and Aragon who made an effort to skate. To all of the others, shame on you, your overbuilt reputation doesnt hide the truth about your pure mediocrity.

    Was SK riding Nimhs? they look too bulky to be carbonz

  46. brink Says:

    I personally enjoy the RAW footage, it gives you a sense of what it was like to be a spectator and you don’t really miss any of the tricks. I think Bailey did the biggest trick, but Cudot skated the best. No one was doing the same amount of tricks as him.

    And yes that spin to win is boring sign is hilarious.

  47. ryan Says:

    the raw footage is definitely a great idea for the people who love and respect rolling yet might not have been able to go to the comp for one reason or another.i give huge amounts of props to stockwell for just having the best park flow and consistency of any skater out there.his style is unmatched and trying to argue that makes you look foolish in general.people talking shit on broskow don’t seem to understand that skaters love to watch him and would kill to have his style and eye for tricks.his type of skating might not be the kind that wins comps like this,but he has the talent to pull off incredible skating,regardless.having watched all the footage,julien was untouchable here and deserved the win,euro chucker or not.honorable mention to bailey for his ender and brandon smith for making norcal proud.great skating from everyone.

  48. Mery Says:

    Sorry I cant believe the results.
    Abrate 10th? Something is going wrong with judges…
    just my opinion

    disappointed by everyone except JC. oh yes and stockwell too, they were the only 2 in trying some lines.
    that was not serious.
    def agree with Anonymous a few post before, even if i thougt Aragon was doing a lot more.

    the problem is not the raw footage, it’s quite cool, the problem is that there will be 3 or 4 bad quality edit that everybody will watch, and that nobody will watch the rel good edit that will come later.

    1. Idiot filming on his iphone from the stands is not news worthy.
    2. This website has become Koubis blog of crap (including his own shit artwork.)
    3. No one values lines in contests which is why Stockwell doesn’t place high, his lines are incredible and he is one of the most talented park skaters in the world.
    4. CJ isn’t remz pro, and as such doesn’t get the travel benefits that Haffey does despite the fact that he dominates contests.
    5. Readjust you budget Kato.
    6. Lists are awesome.
    7. I bet Aragon is spewing after losing to a kid who does nothing but jock the shit out of him.
    8. Raw footage is embarrassing, but RazorNews calling them out for it is even worse. Grow the fuck up razors.

  80. AustinG. Says:

    The only reason Cudot one is because the finals were full of people who didn’t give a fuck. Look at B. Smith doing back farfs, and Kelso and Broskow skating a shin high rail. No one gave a fuck but Cudot because hes a spin-to-win style-less queer.

  81. Seth I. Says:

    I really don’t see the big deal with posting this. I think it is great to see the full finals which you never see in the edits of BCSD dvds. Other than the fact that it takes away some of the suspense I really don’t think it will affect my desire to watch the edits that come outIlater. I mean seriously, how many edits did we all watch of Winterclash?

    In my opinion, Stockwell really should have placed in the top 3. His lines were great and unlike many of the others he was skating more of the park instead of just spinning into grinds on the box.

  82. Anonymous Says:

    USD will be selling lots of skates in America now. Those in attendence at Modern realized that Cudot and his Carbons were far superior to the other skates. Razors at least competed. But the rest should all go out of business or get new pros who can compete.

    No, I’m pretty sure we just want to see them compete with the rest of the world. If they can’t do so without killing themselves, then maybe they are no longer tough enough to be pro? And the only people who get to skate what they want, how they want, when they want, are the UNSPONSORED. I mean really, who gets paid to do whatever the hell they want to do?

    i agree with anonymous, it was a shit contest for who was there. Aragon did enough for second, but he seemed off, like really inconsistent. Abrate couldn’t land anything after his first trick or two, and Stockwell did 360 after 360 after 360 as if 720s and 900s don’t even exist, and Bailey took forever to land one or two tricks. B Smith bored us with basic tricks and Bolino just didn’t seem motivated. Shima off too, Sean Kelso showing the detriments of relying on tech skating in a contest, and who else? oh yeah, it was kinda like broskow wasn’t even there, even though he was closest to the camera (really sad)

    This is wild. I casually shoot video with my iPhone of a rollerblading contest and post it on the internet so that people could see what happened and I get hated on. Who is it from Razors that is unhappy with me?

    Some of y’all are delusional. Chuckers will continue to win comps, but won’t sell skates. Sorry, if you think that shit will sell skates you are foolish. If ppl realllly liked that shit, then these chuckers would already have pro skates. Guys like Romaine, Abrate, and Cudot are really talented no doubt, but there’s an obvious difference when you watch them compared to the TOP PROS in the game. Seen them skate one comp, you’ve seen them skate them all.

    Hey easy guys we’re all rollerbladers… Your making it sound like its americans vs. skaters from all around, I can assure you all those guys don’t see it like that. They just go out and do their best and skate with their friends. At the end of the day does it really matter where they’re from? A lot of you are acting like fools on this, just being straight up haters and its fucking ridiculous. Rollerbladers are notorious for being friendly to one another and thats what makes our sport so unique! So chill and stop hating on one another. These guys filming obviously didn’t know better but that doesnt mean you should tell them to go “kill themselves”. To be honest the video didnt make me as mad as reading the shit your ranting about….thats all good day.

    lmao@AnthonyMedina

    Cudot does have a Pro Skate you douchebag – carbon 2′s – the BEST skate in rollerblading. buy a pair and learn to skate – remember to grab your fishys on your p-rail and act kool -lol.

  97. AnthonyMedina Says:

    A real pro skate, one sold everywhere, not that bullshit only sold overseas. If you think Americans are gonna lineup to buy a Cudot pro skate over here you’re fooling yourself. He’ll win comps but that kid is not marketable. Not unless he gets some style. Not trying to hate, it’s just the truth.

    Dear whoever it was at Razors that was unhappy with me posting this footage,

    (Andy? Brazil? Mac? I don’t know)

    First off, it seems like there are a few important people who don’t like that I posted this so I feel the need to respond. However, this response is mostly directed to whoever responded to the youtube video from the Razors News account. Also, I want to mention that I’m posting my response publicly since the comment Razors made was posted publicly.

    I didn’t mean to offend anyone by posting the raw footage of the finals. I’m sorry if you were offended. I don’t think I was acting like a 1st grader by doing so though. I just thought that people would like to see what happened from a spectators perspective. I couldn’t imagine people watching this shaky footage shot on an iphone from very far away will be satisified. There’s no way that the people that saw this will now not want to see official edits that are filmed and edited professionally. In fact, I would venture to say that a higher percentage of skaters who attended the event will watch the edits made of the event than skaters who did not attend the event. With this reasoning, I likewise would venture to say that a higher percentage of skaters who watched the raw footage of the finals will watch the edits made of the event.

    The intentions I had when posting this were positive. I wasn’t just trying to be the first person to post to try to make myself look cool. I’ve been skating for 17 years now and I feel that I have been around this block enough to not be considered a 1st grader around here (Maybe I haven’t been around the block enough to realize that posting on Roller News is completely useless though, eh?). Everything I’ve done within our sport is focused on helping generate excitement within our sport and add more participants. Honestly, this is just another tiny attempt to do so. I hope you understand and hope you aren’t offended.

    Last, maybe we should all be a little more polite and be a little less sensitive. That goes for me as well. I need to work on this too.

    You did what was well within your right to do what the fuck you want at any fucking time. Nobody had to sign any clause or release forms for any of that.

    FUCK all those crying assholes.

    People act like these clips are the end all of end alls. Get over it, we’ve all seen a million edits of the same comp and still enjoy the final(or professional) cut of that same comp, and still bitch. You people take shit waaay too fucking serious. Get a life, and stop bitchin about nothing..

    From what I saw on the conference site, he also skates the imperials, which I want to cop btw..

    Carbon 2′s are the hottest skate on the planet dude – including the U.S. Cudot made the U.S. pros look like amateurs. Americans are lining up to buy these skates and Bitter Cold has just made the line a lot longer. But you go skate your Valo’s and do some pud slides – you’re so cool…lmao ….you and Broski. Get back to me when Broski grows the balls to skate some big obstacles. We’ll see how much style he has.

    To Colin:
    thanx for posting this. it shows how good cudot was and how pathetic most of the other pros are. these guys look good in sections when they can take 20 trys to hit a trick, but they suck in comps where only the best win.

  103. SERGIO.H Says:

    its fun to see people hating broskow…

    when his last edit/profile came out… you where all on his dick
    and when CHARGING comes out your going to be on it again..

    be real.

    cudot deserved to win, because he was motivated.
    the other guys didnt seem that motivated at all..
    glad i didnt buy a ticket…haha

  104. Anonymous Says:

    style on little obstacles isn’t style – its jokers who are AFRAID to skate big risky tricks. Cudot had exceptional style given the big risky tricke he laced.

    spitting some pretty large flames there mr. anonymous.should probably keep your name hidden because you sound completely retarded drunk and are embarrassing the entire country you come from.

  106. ILLIANCE MEDIA Says:

    Just got to say that the People Bitching and moaning are the people making Rolling look bad not this edit /Raw footage. This post almost makes me feel ashamed to come on this site

    and Razors should be ashamed of them self, its not their place to tell people what to do or post or act who do they think they are, we live in a free society where we have the freedom of choice . Your a professional company that should conduct it self in a professional way and i think the post you made was not only disrespectful it was Shameful to the razors brand, publicly flogging some one is no way to conduct yourself if you had a problem with it send the guy a message via Private message .

    And the people posting under Anonymous grow some ball if you post something at least have the balls to put your name to it

    I think you are all gay. Go skate and STFU

  108. Ulysses Rivera Says:

    Beau Cottington’s comment is THE BEST!

    But to put my two cents in…

    Every body likes different skating styles.
    Some people try really hard at contests, and some people just shred to have fun at them.
    That being said, I think neither is better or worse. They’re just different.

    Also, I think Stockwell is the… How do I say this… Best fucking skater ever. The way he skates comps is amazing. He hits just about every obstacle and manages to boost everything all while linking tricks together. Please quit low balling the guy and saying how his line “Was cool the first time, second time, and after that it was gay”

    As for all the other negative comments about my favorite pros, they told us a long time ago in school a wonderful quote that everyone seems to have forgotten, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

    That being said, thank you to all the Pros, Ams, and people who help put this on to make it what it is, year in, and year out.

    Honestly, to me, this final was :

    Cudot landing hammers EVERYWHERE, deserving the win
    Aragon landing hammers just on the ledge, deserving 2nd place

    Now everything else was just a pile of pure shit. Bailey 3rd ? for just a single trick, who suck compare to what were landing the others ?

    Stockwell ? Yea, when I saw his line the first time, I liked the flow. A little less the 2nd time, and even less the 3rd time. When I saw it for the 84th time, I just wanted to kill the guy.

    Broskow ? “ya man, Im so kewl Im just gonna land sum little tricks and ignoring everything else, kewl man, yea, dont care man, too cool, (and I might hurt myself on those big rails also)

    Smith ? It felt like he was tring tricks that everyone masters know for the past 5 years. Yeah, disaster back royale ! Sick ! Unfortunately, We’re not in 1995 anymore

    Kelso ? Best joke ever, taking his whole final trying to land a ugly trick on a shin-high rail. What are those guys doing here seriously ? THEY are making the sport look bad, not the edit

    Bolino ? I think I’ve seen a 360 disaster soul from him at the begining.

    Shima ? Why putting the guy in finals if he doesnt even want to FUCKING SKATE ? what sens does it make ? Id rather see some wanabee trying something than this dude who hasnt lend a trick in years. But I guess it looks cool to have the name “shima” in your list

    Abrate ? He deserved a better place to me. Not because he skated well, he persisted to land some disaster on the ledge, but just because all the above werent event trying.

    To sum it up. Grats to Cudot and Aragon who made an effort to skate. To all of the others, shame on you, your overbuilt reputation doesnt hide the truth about your pure mediocrity.

    +1
    +10000000
    +10000002
