Prelude: Iain Mcleod, write up by Quinn Feldman. Expect a trailer next week.

Just like VHS, DVDs are coming to an end which I think is a sad truth but it is a truth all the same. The amount of online content you get to see in skating is astronomical but there is very little that lives on that you watch over and over like you did when Brain Fear Gone came out.

In my opinion when looking at skating in general, the danger level and difficulty level has declined majorly. I still like a lot of peoples skating but just speaking in general.

But if you look at the best bladers in the world they don’t fall into that general population. Iain Mcleod and myself discussed making a section that we would put out that people would always remember, and truly respect which is a bit harder to do now because of the fast speed of content via the internet.

Thread on Facebook.

1 year ago we put together a list of tricks and spots that we both thought was close to impossible. I put the word “close” there because it gives skaters like Iain enough wiggle room to make it happen. I explained to Iain that if we were going to do this together that I would have to be able to shoot it the way I wanted without any interference. He agreed.

Posted on June 6, 2013. June 16 update: part II added.

Come take a journey through a few skate parks in Lima (Peru). I was asked to go to Lima to attend the RAIP competition back in March. I had such an incredible time while in Lima.

Both skate parks are new one we got to skate during the construction process. The second skate park was designed a build by an ex pro rollerblader Peter Henningsen.

This is the first skate park of 5 to be built. They are expecting to have all 5 built by the end of the year! Needless to say, Peru is the place to be! – Josh Glowicki.

Part I: Vida Loka, Skateparks

Featuring some of the Peruvian Razor Team: Carlos Lora, Rene Hidalgo, Katherine Portillo Celis. Also the legendary remz rider Sandro “Lili” Timoteo makes an appearance! as well as our homie from Equator, Fernando “Turco” Salvado. Also featuring the Brazilian Power house, Daciel de Jesus as well as American team rider Josh Glowicki. Filmed by Carlos Lora and Josh Glowicki. Edited by Josh Glowicki.

Kevin Yee is an unmistakable force on blades. Long known as an innovator of the more boundary-pushing order, the man who once slid on his hips and hands through a VG section became a modern pioneer of negative grinds and has forever emphasized lines and complexity over things like “sessionable spots”.

Besides continuing his rolling evolution, Yee is working in the fringe blade territories of perception and expectation, looking to challenge all in his quest to Stay Fakey. Here’s an edit of him blading in Los Angeles with Circolo teammate and fellow bladestronaut. – Omar Wysong for Oneblademag.com.

Thanks Jeff Linett.
