Hayden Ball Interview

Start off telling everyone your name, your age, and how long you’ve been blading.

My name is Hayden Ball, I’m 26 years old, and I’ve been blading since I was 12.

You just had a section in the SHOCK video. How’d that come out; you pleased with how your blading was portrayed?

The SHOCK video turned out rad! The homies spent a lot of time on it and it shows. There are all types of styles in there. I’m happy with my blading, but I always think I can skate better or find more time to get out and skate. That’s really what matters—time spent skating and how you use it. [...]

What have you’ve been up to?

Mostly skating and working at Taz… teaching kids at the skate park.

What is your job at Taz?

I run the summer camp. I give private rollerblade lessons to kids and adults, or whoever wants to learn. I do some other stuff, like organize camps with schools.

Sometimes a school will come in and I’ll teach a class or two. You know, some classes are up to 60 or 80 kids at a time. I also do the occasional demo here and there. Casual skate related gigs.

I heard there is a Nicky Adams workout?

Yup, something I do with the kids. Drop to the ground give me fifty! Give me fifty jumps with your skates on. Lift up your knees as high as you can! I just try to make young kids stronger on their feet while they are on their skates.

Get their balance up, get them ready to fall while putting their arms down. Making them do push-ups, jumping jacks, everything. Give them a general full body work out before they get out there and start falling over themselves. [...]

2011 Nicky Adams Edit by Immony Men

I caught up with Nicky Adams while I was in Montreal for a weekend. We skated one of his favorite ledges in Westmount park for an hour, and then had a fun session at the Taz skatepark. — Immony Men.

So Ground Control has been around for a decade. What do you hope skaters think of when they hear the name Ground Control and what does Ground Control mean to you?

Hopefully they have fond memories of frames that didn’t snap the first week they rode them. When I hear “Ground Control” I think of the good times I’ve had with friends. All of the sessions where I was able to witness the evolution of skating right in front of me. [...]

The Conference Update: Powerblading frames are in stock!

George Demetrios is a skater who has paid his dues to be where he’s at in our sport. When you put everything on the line for blading, sooner or later you’re going to get knocked down.

What really matters is if you get back up to try again. Demetrios is a skater who won’t ever quit.

Fx: You recently went on a trip to Europe for some events. Where did you go?

Fallon Heffernan: I flew into Barcelona from San Francisco, California and spent a couple days on the beach there and then took a train to Montpellier, France.

I stayed there all week and competed in the FISE event. Two days after the contest, I flew to Manchester, England and stayed with fellow Fenfanix rider Rob Pruett all week and competed at the Chaz Sands Invitational in Liverpool. After that, I flew to New York City for a day and then went home. [...]
