quoting a mail from Jan Welch:
Our friend Juan Mosqueda at Inline Warehouse did a pretty cool edit with interviews he did with the Nimh Team while we visited Inline Warehouse in San Luis Obispo during the 7 Days in California tour.
Check the Vlog 8.
Thanks Jan & Stan.

Year ago you have visited Kyiv , tell us please something interesting about your trip to Kyiv , something about Ukrainian spots and people which you have met with ???
The spots where pretty good, some hot shit out there! – I havn`t seen too much but I was of the impression that Kiev has loads of amazing spot. It was a good time there chilling with the locals, some cool and good skaters… While we where walking through a undercrossing there was a gunfight on the other side of it – scary shit!
What is your favorite grind ?
That must be topsoul!!!

Alot of skaters I have interviewed have pissed me off for various reasons. The main reason is their simple lack of communication. This is a complete mystery to me because you would think that a skater who wants to make a name for themselves in this industry would relish the opportunity to be interviewed.
Most skaters do, until they realise that they may actually have to sit down and think about an reasonable answer to provide.
Jeph was great to work with. He always replied to emails within a short time frame and tried to be as helpful as possible with every other aspect. It pisses me off that Jeph isn’t more of an icon within the sport because he encompasses many aspects which I think make a great skater.
I’m not just talking about ability, I’m talking about attitude and responsibility. It is sickening to watch the endless parade of mindless idiots acting like gangster rappers or rock stars just because they have some talent on skates, when people like Jeph are patiently waiting in the sidelines to take their place.

Thanks Dave.

I first met Mike Opalek in 1996 when he was in Ohio filming for the Senate video “Day of the Rope.”
I was hanging out at our mutual friend Steve’s place when Mike came by, bringing along then-16-year-old Eric Schrijn and Louie Zamora. I suppose as first meetings go, it went pretty well. Mike was insightful and funny, and different than I had imagined.
I liked his skating and I liked his writing in Box Magazine, and years later I’d learn that I wasn’t the only one he’d inspired.
I’d also learn about all the cool stuff he got to do through skating, like be on posters for Nike in Asia, do stunts in “Batman & Robin,” thrash Devil’s Backbone in “Airborne,” coach international blade teams, not to mention that his first pro wheel was the very first pro wheel, and its graphics said it all: American Dreams. Read this conversation between Mike and long-time friend Chris Mitchell to learn a lot about the history of rollerblading.—JE

Dom - Do you feel like you’re old to be rollerblading at such a high level?
