SHIMA ON REMZ!

August 28th, 2007 at 8:03 am
Watch, he’ll get one more pro skate then retire on lucky number seven
August 28th, 2007 at 8:08 am
i vote for VALO
August 28th, 2007 at 8:19 am
brian shima just quit rollerblading
August 28th, 2007 at 8:23 am
i agree with scream i think he’ll be good on valo.
Remz might work for him but idk
but maybe he might roll USD the could work huh?
but yea this is news to me i never thought he would leave razor BECAUSE of all the pro skates.
P.S. Carson hes already had 7
August 28th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Carson – “Watch, he’ll get one more pro skate then retire on lucky number seven”
Well consider he has already got 7 pro skates… it would be his 8th. oh I see someone has just said this
New skate company, or maybe Xsjado.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:51 am
He has been on USD, prob won’t return to them
August 28th, 2007 at 8:58 am
and ?
August 28th, 2007 at 9:14 am
He probably won’t join any other skate team professionally. He may help out with Rat Tail or something or work on his music. I’m not really sure. Just speculating.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:26 am
He signed for a porn movie
August 28th, 2007 at 9:54 am
“Alright, alright. I am not currently deciding (or really caring) about hopping on some other company right now. Throughout the years I’ve gained an amazing relationship with Razors. I just felt I needed to clear my mind of some things and focus on others right now, like my other companies, oh and just having fun skating. Right now I’m riding on some old classic razors that are blank and black and have no logos on them. Theyre basic. And thats what I like.”
-taken straight from his interview with Jan Welch and Jon Elliot
for a DVD project/documentary entilted “Black Sheep”
August 28th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Thank you micsukrolla. Finally someone knows theyre stuff. Good Job.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:02 am
Black Sheep is gonna be crazy! I cant wait for it. Yeah, good one on finding that info out.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:06 am
I still think he was amazing on razors.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:49 am
if he gets a new promodel its will be number 9
he aldready hase a USD pro skate
USD psirus
And seven razor skates.
I dont he will skate pro for anyone anymore:S
August 28th, 2007 at 10:50 am
hahha
August 28th, 2007 at 11:12 am
good, Genesys are good skates but Razors is a piece of shit company. i’d say he’s going to Remz, but i’d like to see him on Valo. then Valo would have the greatest team ever made!
August 28th, 2007 at 11:49 am
Ha you’re all wrong. I already know who he’s skating for and all i can say is I can’t wait to get his next pro model skate. Sssshhh, I can’t say anymore, gotta keep it on the hush hush.
August 28th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Naaaah.. He will create a new company : he wants copyrights for his “haircut”
LOL
Omg.. he looks like nothing like this…
August 28th, 2007 at 11:56 am
NO
FUCKIN
WAY
!
actually comes as a total surprise to me…maybe they’ll replace him with a new skater or bump up one of the ams to pro?
August 28th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
yeah im gonna say xsjado. i dout usd he left usd for razor but this comes to me as a big suprise i know a few heads that chill with shima so im gonna have to get ahold of them ill keep you all posted
August 28th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Good. Let him leave and bump Julian Bah or Jeremy Spira( Am?) to first class. Sure, Shima’s a good skater but the way he cusses every 2 sentences makes my ears bleed. And I hate the fanboys on youtube who orgasm at every trick he lands and revere him as some divine deity. He’s a skater for fuck’s sake, not god.
August 28th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
There are rumors that he and Elliot will try to start a skate-brand on their own, just like Julio did with Valo … time ago, they already tried to buy rights for a skate shell from a certain company, but it didn`t come through, so maybe this is the start for a second attempt – or maybe it`s just the end of his skating career, time will tell…
August 28th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
damn razors is gona die now.. well maybe just loose a bit of biznassss
August 28th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
putain de merde c’est quoi c’est connerie
August 28th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
razors dont have anything for shima..just old boots wit “new”colors..i bet shima has new skate company coming..totaly new skates whit 4x4wheels and GC frames..
August 28th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
well maybe he just wants to get out of that company and start his own like the other guy sed. but then maybe razors is not cooperating w’ him and he is not liking it so he is thinking : “i am not dealing w/ this i am going to leave and then they will lose business and want me back”. he might not be getting what he is expecting to get out of razors.
August 28th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
I agree with Lars, everyone gets massive boners over Shima becos they are told hes such a legend and blah blah, there are better skaters out there thesedays and hes got nothing left to prove, I say Julian Bah should become pro.
August 28th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
i guess his contract just ended and didnt felt like having to make a new one. He cant just quit rolelrblading.
Maybe a surprise good bye skate for shima?
August 28th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
shima touched my penis. hes is now riding it
August 28th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
Roces
August 28th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
A bet a fiver on xsjado
August 28th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
maybe he just doesnt like rollerblading
August 28th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
why would he change from the most powerfull and durable skate to something as weak as xsjados? i really doubt it. maybe he just wants to make room for the “new” kids, julian bah has been am for, i dont know how many years now, and that kid really deserves to be pro, i mean, he really has what it takes. shima will still be a fucking legend in my eyes.
August 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pm
roces is dead
August 28th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
if he starts a new company it is always good, i dont know if the skate would be good, could be quite strange considering shimas style and colors he used on some setups, but the more skate companies more it will be the battle on sells and new designs and everything, so it only makes the sport better ;)
August 28th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
if he goes to xsjado i’ll be so dissapointed because personally i think theyre atrocious they look ugly they skate shit they feel shit i hope it’s a new company with a sick new mold.. and anyway i already have his seven model next skate… Remedyz
August 28th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
id say he will jus skate for himself not any big companies.
August 28th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
I hope he does do something on his own. That way maybe for once there will truly be a “skater owned” skate company (because we all know that Julio doesn’t own Valo). Instead all we have now is a bunch of corporations and old rich dudes who have used people, made millions off their image and name, and never really done anything for them in return.
no wonder rollerbading is dead. The people in charge for the last ten years never really cared about the skaters. They sure as fuck cared about overcharging kids for skates and making enough money to buy houses and cars though…
August 28th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
i think he should start his own skate company that would be sick
August 28th, 2007 at 6:47 pm
I’ve saw him last year (@ the game, germany) and he’s a really nice guy. Ive got the impression, that he is a man that stands with all attention behind Razors. So Im very suprised about that.., but Im very exited about what he’s doing next
August 28th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
shima is the best and always be, ive been skating for like 10 years and i remember shima back then, he was always better than every one else. he deffinetly deserves the respect hes gotten over the years
August 28th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
i really dont like shima but i do like his skates so its a shock 2 see that there wont be anymore shima geneseys
August 28th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
i am well shocked in one way but in another lol i aint surprised, its not like razor have been that creative recently and they aint exactly improved there skates alot an his prob fed up with every pro skate lookin the same as the last lol
August 28th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
shima got a job at in and out burger and is enjoying all the extra income he’s been missing out on for so many years.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
just got a call from a rider, he stated that he heard Brian will be concentrating on his music. anyone hear anything like this?
August 28th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
frist thing i said wus woooopo
August 28th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
he used to skate for USD way back in the day, but who knows, I’m gonna say Rems, look at some of the edits hes in, hes skating remz and hes like best friends with chris haffy
August 28th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
dude shima had some for usd to
August 28th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
What about Rat-Tail, shima is still connected to sunshine distribution(rat-tail, Remz, Razors, 4×4, etc.) Maybe Elliot and Shima are workin on a skate right now.
August 28th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
NoooOOOOOOooooooOOoooo!
Loved his Razors skates! Used to have Razor Shima 6, and now rolling on Razor Shima 7′s! This cant be true, I cannot skate without Shima’s!
August 28th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
dunno about this, i kinda agree with all the skates looking the same, but the mold is a really good one, i love the genesys skate, sad to hear this but i hope he makes a good decition
August 28th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
it made my eyes burn to read that. shima just seems like he wouldnt be shima without razors =( o well yea i think he would do pretty good with valos
August 28th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
REMZ, it’s not a news, he has been on the remz tour a while ago and skated with them a lot but not in front of the cameras and remz is sunshine like razors so he stayed in the same compagny in fact!
August 29th, 2007 at 12:12 am
I heard hes skating some old bauer hockey training skates: no h-block, no problem
August 29th, 2007 at 12:16 am
goood i hate him anyway
August 29th, 2007 at 12:57 am
I have a reason to believe he’s going to Deshi. :)
August 29th, 2007 at 1:40 am
satan is a dumb bitch. There are some good people on valo but its the fuckin m12 boot, its complete shit they just look cool. I want to see everyone running around on roces licking balls and then say its the best company around. I had a pair of valo skates, everyone just likes them cause they went from remz or deshi and liked the solidness of the boot but wait a second you dumb bitches razor has been doing that for years. So grow some balls stop taping them to your ass to fit you pants on and come chill with us.
August 29th, 2007 at 1:54 am
seriously.. who gives a rats?
let the ledgend do his thing?
fucking retards.. get your skates on and stop being sceen queens
August 29th, 2007 at 3:09 am
he quit to fufill his skateboarding career….
not really but i think hes going to start his own brand, or pursue his music career, hes had his fill of rollerblading, the dudes pretty old, and hes been killing it for years…maybee its just time for a break
August 29th, 2007 at 3:13 am
I heard he was buying an old mold and redoing everyhing like valo did with the m12s.
August 29th, 2007 at 3:54 am
i think hell go skate for roces
August 29th, 2007 at 4:01 am
seriously… who gives a fuck!
stop thnking about what he doing and get off your ass and do something..
the guys where he is at now because he skated and didnt sit around shit talking about people that burnt him..
get off you god dam ass and fucking rollerblade..
you are rollerbladers right?
or fucking sceen queens as i thought?
August 29th, 2007 at 4:56 am
maybe…… heel make a skate called remzors a mix between rzrs and rmz
August 29th, 2007 at 4:58 am
they will be rlly bulky like rzrs but have flx like rmz (freedom of feet)
August 29th, 2007 at 5:03 am
haha exactly ^
August 29th, 2007 at 5:04 am

August 29th, 2007 at 5:15 am
i heard he was going to go become a stripper
August 29th, 2007 at 5:50 am
au fond, on s’en bat un peu les couilles.
August 29th, 2007 at 5:51 am
Shimas section in Brain_fear_gone, is what got me into rollerblading.
August 29th, 2007 at 5:52 am
au fond, on s’en bat un peu le steak.
August 29th, 2007 at 5:53 am
pas vrai ? n’ai-je pas tort ? n’ai-je pas raison ?
August 29th, 2007 at 5:59 am
to everyone who is saying that julien is gonna get bumped to pro are wrong. i believe razor is going to kick julien off the team. he will have no section in the new razors video.
August 29th, 2007 at 6:35 am
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
who cares!!
let them fucking skate!!!
August 29th, 2007 at 2:56 pm

noway :)
August 30th, 2007 at 4:24 am
Maybe He’ll skate for Revolution skate shop, because the guys over there are Awesome! Or maybe he has a real job and just wants to rollerblade for fun…what a concept
August 30th, 2007 at 4:26 am
what did that french guy say about steak? this is steakhouse. if you know what I’m saying…
August 30th, 2007 at 5:14 am
Okay. it’s not xsjado, it’s not valo, it’s not rollerblade. but it’s a great company and I wish them the best of luck seeing as how they already have some of the best riders. also Xsjado aren’t a piece of crap they’re just built so you have to spend money all the time so that someone can get paid enough to make a living. Valos are old school skates, they’re the M12′s with skins. That’s gay. but the team is dangerous. Shima or anyone else should ever be looked at as a God, Yes he’s only a skater, but the difference between him and you who talk shit about him is consistancy. he has it you don’t plus he has some hammers stacked away for a rainy day. I’ve skated and sat down and talked with him watching him pull out tricks like 360 truespin top acid on first attempt is a big feat. There’s a reason why Rfcc decided to have a Haffey vs. Shima tour. Plus who else has 9 skates named after them.

August 31st, 2007 at 9:19 pm
hes startin his own boot company with jon eliott
September 1st, 2007 at 10:10 pm
hey guys, Shima rides for a company called Nimh. It’s a great skate and it comes out Christmas. check it out and tell your fav. skateshop so that they’ll pre-order some so you can get them for Christmas. I know they’ll be great, they come with the all new Viscious Liners, the best in the industry. This is the Hottest thing to buy for Christmas. Oh and Christmas is the introduction of Brian Shima’s Pro Model Skate. that makes 10
They’re sleek, light weight, and grind like hot butter across melted wax.
Don’t forget To buy the Sickest Frames out right now, the Featherlites.
Also I’ve tested the Elements for a while right now and there’s a huge problem. The axel screws’ thread break very easily, So Jon, please use a harder metal.
September 3rd, 2007 at 5:43 pm
NIMH, NIMH, NIMH, NIMH, NIMH, NIMH…………..
September 4th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
just check out the links page on ONE’s website. NIMH is there!

October 22nd, 2007 at 6:10 am
Your own boot company? Congrats. Great Video’s. Old Skater friend from Redwood City.
