true sweat 2 mitsu.. beautiful
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:12 pm
to all this hipster blader douches that dress up to go do little skateboarder grinds, this is REAL SKATING, you should try it sometime, ian should get a skate in 2010
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Chill loving this, skating is whatever YOU want it to be. It’s an individual thing. So you’re neither right nor wrong, you just have an opinion.
Words cannot describe Iain’s skating. He is one of the most impressive street skaters out there.
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Mcleod = King …
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:32 pm
the best! seriously, best skater ever!
that fence grind was like in a video game
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
i agree with loving this…
this is a true professional right here
unlike most of the bullshit ive seen from these so called “pros”
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:39 pm
WELCOME TO GERANY. WE FELLOW FOLKS DO THESE GRINDS BUT BACKFLEEP OFF
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Can Iain Mcleod blade forever please…ive never seen skating from Iain that has been nothing short of amazing and mouth dropping. Thankyou for that!
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Does tricks like it´s nothing!
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:48 pm
I used to hate this dudes, style, sorry Ian – but this edit was sick, some quality stuff in this edit!
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:49 pm
oh and sorry for the spelling mistake: Iain.
December 23rd, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Iain got a raw deal a few years back, he seemed to have just gotten shelved and forgotten about. There was a time when skinny fit rocker style was big and it had a negative effect on skaters like Iain and Vinny Minton because everyone jumped on it and hated everything else. It seems now that things have calmed down and there’s becoming an improved mix of both styles in our sport. Hopefully this means we will see baggier, more tech skaters make a return to SHARE the spotlight, making our sport more diverse.
Aside from this, Iains section is fucking sick!! Too Legit!!
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:06 pm
“I’ rk can suck it!
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Really sick edit. Anyone knows the song plz ?
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Please fill me in – who is Iain sponsored by? Im hoping its USD because he looks amazing on carbons. especially the all black ones. Tighter pants look better on him too. Im going to watch that again now.
I forgot how progressional skating can be. Have been so used to watching SELF CONSCIOUS BLADING FOR 3 YEARS. Time to up our ante and Iain can lead the forefront
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:37 pm
just wondering the number of other pro’s , capable of doing these tricks…there aren’t too many names in may head actually….abso-fkin-loutley amazing, as always this guy is.
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I used to find his skating a little sloppy back in the day. This is undeniably sick though, along with the rest of his recent edits. Damn I want to roll now
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
mental control on wheels !!!!!!!!!
tiiiiiiiiiiiteeee !
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
im glad some people can see the light, and realize skating isnt about riding valos with a flipped up hat and doing fucking stales all over the place
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:50 pm

BEST QUOTE OF 2009
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:54 pm
nah dude the baggier pants are better iain
the tight pants and the loose ass skates look kinda goofy
you dont see skating like this anymore
unless its from haffey
theres very few people that drop hammers nowadays
everybodies become pussy
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
wow this is the only video thats been on rollernews this whole year thats been worth watching
fucking finnally
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Iain McLeod is seriously one of the best skaters in the world!!!
big ups to Ian for putting out yet another banger..
im looking forward to seeing your choosen few full section
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
the eminem verses are fucking horrible.
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:28 pm
I liked Andrew Broom’s other section better, he’s cool in this one, just preferred the other one imo
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
fire fire fire fire fire fire…. got me sooo juiced to skate… ian send me this section so i can watch it whever i want!
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
That shit was sick. Iain looks good in USD Carbons and with CO’s. damn, makes me want to go skate. off work in 4 hours. then blade jam
December 23rd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
hell yeah that was some quality rollerblading
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:01 pm
what is the song?
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:29 pm
That was really sick.
No one is on top of their game like Iain McLeod.
He puts out edits every month and they keep getting better.
Mad mad props to Mr. Mcleod for skating so consistently.
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:40 pm
another sick ass section from this dude definatly should get a pro skate in 2010
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Tru Mak at 1:52 was the effin BUSINESS!!!!!!!!! I think of Iain as more of a looser clothes fitting shadow ninja but either why the form is there. RESPECT!
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:57 pm
WELCOME TO GERMANY
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:05 pm
true rocknrolla. hes such a boss i think he should honestly be sponsored by remz and usd because he is just that raw
December 23rd, 2009 at 11:33 pm
what the fuck
Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again.
December 23rd, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Good grief…. still killing it. Age is no excuse people……
December 24th, 2009 at 12:47 am
If you guys think this is sick. MOVE TO GERMANY
December 24th, 2009 at 2:00 am
if thats not a comeback section..i dunno what is…mad sick
December 24th, 2009 at 2:20 am
HELL YEAH, THAT WAS SO GOOD! Iain’s skating is always unreal! Can’t wait for that CHOSEN-FEW 10 minute edit……….that section is going to be the shit!
December 24th, 2009 at 2:35 am
ian is amazing. it just worries me how many prople are commenting on his physical appearance! lol
December 24th, 2009 at 2:36 am
i meant people*
December 24th, 2009 at 2:38 am
Ian has always been good but now he is great and still underrated. Hopefully this will change for 2010. The song is gonna be on LiL Wayne’s rock album “drop the world” feat Eminem coming soon.
December 24th, 2009 at 4:28 am
Iain is the most deserving rollerblading ever. You can see by his skating that he pushes himself, literally every time he puts on his skates, there is no other way to achieve his level otherwise. Immense respect to Iain is all i can say.
December 24th, 2009 at 4:43 am
does anyone else agree that this guys hands when he landed got annoying? dont get me wrong he was really great but his hands kinda ruined it for me and in some clips he had shorts and baggy close then others tight jeans and tight shorts i no its not a fashion show but style comes from what you wear a little bit
December 24th, 2009 at 4:55 am
are you ok with the music ? :S ps perfect rolling this is A PRO
December 24th, 2009 at 5:17 am
I just feel it gets repetitive when I see him put out the same section twice a year for the past eight years. The guy’s consistent just not progressing…
December 24th, 2009 at 5:22 am
lol he lookss crazyy..but hes always been nastyyyy!!
December 24th, 2009 at 5:39 am
Now that was some steez. I’m glad McCleod is still doing his thing. Can’t hate on’em.
December 24th, 2009 at 6:00 am
Who gives a fuck about the pants. He was sick with baggy pants and sick with tight pants.
Basically, I think Mcleod got a shit deal because he was on Deshi and that company was always playing second fiddle, regardless of how good its riders may have been.
This guy is still a top level skater. I think his skating is still kind of traditional in some ways, like his spot selection is pretty uninspired, but he can clearly do anything he wants to on a pair of skates, which is more than I can say for a lot of yahoos with sections on rollernews.
All of which is to say: More Ian Mcleod plz.
December 24th, 2009 at 6:53 am
germany does not have shit on the u.s
hahaha
we introduced you guys to skating
so suck it
December 24th, 2009 at 7:05 am
yeah the USA kicks germany’s ass in skating just like we did in WWII
suck german faggots
December 24th, 2009 at 7:06 am
suck it german faggots****
December 24th, 2009 at 8:26 am
anyway … anyone mind tell me which company is currently ian riding for?
in this edit you can see him using USD and also remz… which one is he riding for?
i know its not an issue to be bothered about but just curious…
December 24th, 2009 at 8:33 am
FACK YOU AMERICANS. If Ian went to GERMANY his style would improve and he can learn how to backfleep off of tricks instead of these pussy shit spins out.
December 24th, 2009 at 9:09 am
yeah send IAN to germany maybe they can put him in one of their camps
December 24th, 2009 at 9:11 am
song Lil’ Wayne – Drop The World (Feat. Eminem) )))
December 24th, 2009 at 10:30 am
one of the camps you put the native americans in? really all o you american pussys should go home, take your daddys gun and shoot yourself in the face
December 24th, 2009 at 10:44 am
Thanks for viewing the videos of my brother. Germany and US can co-exist hahah. Good work brotherman!
December 24th, 2009 at 11:10 am
really great man. u should go to the Isle of \Skye mr Mcleod
December 24th, 2009 at 11:33 am
hahaha this germany-usa thing is funny
iain is a ruthless shredding machine
December 24th, 2009 at 11:42 am
billy is smart for supporting that boi. and german kid shut up. natives are NOT in camps they’re on reserved land for them where cops are not allowed so there are more free than any of us in the US. go backfleep off a bridge lol. USA USA! (rocky theme)
December 24th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
yep i think iain should have a skate in 2010.. this guy’s been kiiling shit for so long and he deserves another chance>> not to bad mouth other pro’s out there.. but i think this is what we need on the scene right now>>
December 24th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
iain is amazing, stands out of most pros and I hope he’s getting a pro boot soon!
btw don’t judge german or us people by reading things wrote anonymously in the internet!!! we are generally open minded nice people :-)
December 24th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Holding it down as always, Mcleod kills shit every time. He seems to lose more and more weight in every edit though, looked scarily skinny in some of those clips!
Mcleod USD Carbon Pro model in 2010 please.
December 24th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
What the SONG please ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!
December 24th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Awesome!
Compare this with the usd carbons promo by the kelsos and sincerely Ian deserve a proskate and be in the pro team more than they.
he is top 5 in the world, good to see him back in the game.
December 24th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Song… obviously sucky suck lil’ wayne en sucky suck eminem… and the song title wil be something with “world” and “drop”. Check the world wide web dude! Sick skating dude… DAMN! Some ill shit!
December 24th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Lil Wayne – Drop the World feat. Eminem
December 24th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
guys i think we can all agree its JAPAN that really sucks…..
just kidding, if skating of this caliber cannot bring rollerbladers to unite then the rest of the world is truly in trouble. I forget who, maybe haffey, i think it was haffey but I apologize for misquoting if it wasn’t but some top pro like 5 years ago told a mutual friend of ours that he believed Ian was the best in the game hands down. since then I have followed his skating closely and can’t say I totally disagree. sooo amazing. great work. nuke the whales and america and the germans and might as well kill the native americans too.
December 24th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
finally some real skating
December 24th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
one of my favorite skaters of all times, Iain should have dozens of pro models, watch any section of him that has been out, any of them will totally blow you away, this kid is one of the most tech skaters that has ever lived,
mad fan of his skating! keep it up iain you are the man!
Regards,
Fred

were not bashing countries were bashing a dumb guy who is hating. there comments to comments. The video was great regardless of comments posted
December 24th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Macleod needs a real sponsor imidiately! Its a shame not to be in the top spot with aragon and haffey…
December 24th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
WELCOME TO GERANY. WE FELLOW FOLKS DO THESE GRINDS BUT BACKFLEEP OFF
dang, i wish i could “backfleep”. and i wish i knew where Gerany was =)
as for Iain, he’s gotta be my favorite tech skater of all time. i like all forms of skating, but i like tech skating because it’s obviously hard, not everyone can do it. It gives a good counter-argument to skateboarders who, thanks to their Anti-Rollerblading propaganda, have convinced people that “rollerblading is easy.” and he goes WAY bigger than skateboarders on street, which is where it’s at for most people anyway (who wants to skate a mega ramp?), so PROPS!
December 24th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
who IS the best german pro ? oh wait…there are none…sorry germany maybe next decade when you learn how to keep up with style/filming/editing/and finding spots. oh wait you have no good spots cause your country has all old brick and cobble and other things that are not conducive to skating…
December 24th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
i remember him on deshi, he always killed it. then he left and disapeared. i gotta say he still kills it/ tight jeans? never saw that coming from him thats like seeing rachard rock grl pants
December 24th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
Dam Ian. Next Carbon Pro? Skillz wise top 5 in the world in the street.
What I wanna know is who in all of Europe or the US is going to teach Ian anything to do with skating. Maybe that person could teach Haffey and Aragon something too. Lol.
December 24th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
what a beast! wouldnt expect anything less! huge iian!
December 24th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
:-) :-) @beef,
I would like to see you in a battle against mark stamer to name only one very good german rollerblader and he is not even pro!
here is some of his skating http://www.vimeo.com/8035810

“I just feel it gets repetitive when I see him put out the same section twice a year for the past eight years. The guy’s consistent just not progressing…”
1 – how do you progress when you can do every trick, both ways, spin in and out, and land them within a few tries, and have been able to for years? what do you want him to do, start backflipping onto flat rails??
2 – i personally think he IS still progressing, but even if he isn’t progressing, at least he isn’t digressing, like some other pros.
3 – some “PROs” cough…*****…cough… only grind with the same dominate foot and spin the same one way and don’t lace hammers, yet they are still in the spotlight and getting pro model products.
haffey aragon farmer mcleod broskow
/top5
December 24th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Not progressing? Iain has been skating regular and switch, and spinning both ways before some of you suckas were born, before skating switch was a trend in rollerblading.
Watch his older sections and compare the tricks, the kid has evolved like “OH SHIT!”
not to mention he looks stylish and gangsta in any clothes, what some of you recognize as goofyness is that GANGSTA SHIT son! hahahahhaha
and please, stop making comparisons, none of the pros in this industry are milionaires like in skateboarding, we all do it for the love, each people, each style of skating and difficulty. there are enough shit on our backs already, lets not fight each other, we are doing their work for them, killing our sport with internal fights… don’t play the boarder’s industry game…
Don’t compare like its basketball or olympics or some shit, its rollerblading, it can’t be measured by a pointing system, there is no best in the world, and that’s the beauty of it. STOP attacking each other like its a spartan war… lets all cellebrate the fact that we are rollerbladers, and despite the fact that we are poor(low on bucks) we are at the same time, the richest in spirit. think about it.
regards iain, you are the man, I wish I skated with you someday in life!
Fred
December 25th, 2009 at 1:17 am
these internet release sections of Ian are being shot out like mad and are flawless. they put some of the most hyped up sections of the past couple years that big names save for there one 3 minute section of each year to shame.
December 25th, 2009 at 1:56 am
This section is amazing…iain mcleod is killing it and keeps getting better and better it is ridiculous. Someone made a very good point that this edit was way better than the edit that the kelso made to support the release of their new skate. But iain hasnt got a pro skate yet….hopefully next year that will be corrected…
By the way dominik wagner is german and an amazing pro skater.
December 25th, 2009 at 2:00 am
It’s always a pleasure to watch Ian skate, hands down one of the BEST rollerbladers in the history of our sport.
@Colin Mcleod where have you disappeared man? You had sick sections going on, loved the one on Demode!
Bring more from the Mcleod brothers!
December 25th, 2009 at 4:43 am
Jin JOINT represent!!
December 25th, 2009 at 4:52 am
wonderful edit. and hes skating on some phresh teams.
December 25th, 2009 at 6:11 am
Been one of the best since I started in 2000.
Every section has always been amazing.
This online freebie has better shit than a lot of full blown sections.
Plus he’s put out more content in a couple months than most people do in half a year.
Don’t fuck with him. He’s on fire.
December 25th, 2009 at 6:40 am
yeah i think one guy might have done a backflip off a grind in germany but who the fuck cares
over here in the u.s we backflip onto our grinds mother fucker
ive seen kids on youtube do it, and no one even knows about them
all you guys got is mathias ogger
hahaha what a joke
well guess what
this section right here is better than anything ive seen any germans put out
aragon was the first to 900 out of a grind
haffey was the first to start doing 720’s into grinds
theres way more big shit thats gone down in the u.s
all you guys got is one backflip off of a grind
you cant even compare the two country’s because were so far ahead
you guys owe us for more shit than youll ever know
so dont fucking get on here trying to talk shit about u.s
not only did we introduce you guys to skating but you wouldnt be able to skate right now if it wasnt for the american skate companies bitch
December 25th, 2009 at 8:29 am
@Fred Castro: WELL SAID BROTHA! I support that shit right there.
And one word for Mr. Mcleod….. OhmyfuckingGOD! :O Where them pro boots at people?!!!
December 25th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
@ abel, Iain has had 1 pro model. But he sure as hell deserves more than 1!
@ fuck, Yeah the U.S. certainly deserves ALOT of credit when it comes to rollerblading and its progression. However, I sincerely doubt (at this point in time) that Germans would have that much trouble keeping themselves rolling without American companies. That being said, if there were never any U.S. Companies rollerblading probably would have never gotten anywhere. So in that respect the U.S. does deserve ALOT of gratitude from other countries like Germany.
Anyway, sick ass edit from an amazing skater. Keep doin’ your thing Iain.
OH and fuck a “backfleep”
December 25th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
salope sante, damn… long time not seen such a good and full of style rider…thats exactly what i love in rollerblading!..jon J, then latimer & gillan, haffey-aragon-broskow, then Mcleod… all my legends in 13 years of skating…. he s big! like shwarzenegger!
December 25th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
bottom line is super sick. I’ve skated with him a few times while he was inbetween sponsors and I just don’t understand the thinking process of deshi for letting him go. They were not on point for this one. Iain is one of the most talented skaters ever. He can grind like a video game, spin better than Aragon, and has hops like a kangaroo. Not to mention he’s great with kids. That’s what you call a complete skater. He’s creative with his runs and in all honesty, you have to be on your A game just to be in his league on any given day. If you’ve seen the Section he had on O’Connors video, the big full torque on the cream ledge, guys I’m 6′3 and that ledge is up the the top of my chest, on my skates…
Iain Keep up the awesome skating.
December 26th, 2009 at 3:58 am
He speaks the truth.
December 26th, 2009 at 7:59 am
the epitomy of bad rollerblading
December 26th, 2009 at 8:00 am
i thought rock killaz were against tight pants?
December 26th, 2009 at 8:58 am
dear lil wayne
please return to new orleans and stop making shit music like this with eminem
so gross
Love iain and his skating
but this song is entirely unbearable.
I hope what happens to Kanye doesnt happen to wayne, aka making a pop culture joke of himself and falling off.
whoever chose this song needs a very swift kick in the dick
December 27th, 2009 at 6:26 am
i love iain’s skating, its so perfect does a lot of switch as well. i like those black carbons on him they look sick and yes this song is absolutly terrible i hope lil wayne does fall off because hes an embarrasment to hop hop…. good job iain!
January 3rd, 2010 at 6:09 pm
awesome edit, sick skating!
where is the park at the 2:30 and 2:40 mark? and the ledges at the 2:12 mark? just wondering, ive been to the ledges but forgot exactly where they are. please give me some help thanks!
January 4th, 2010 at 10:03 am
212 is some random school in the middle of no where don’t know how to get there. someone took us. and the skate park is a new one they just put in in irvine. It’s at a church off Culver. so if you exit culver off the 5 and you drive all the way down culver past university rode and campus rode you will see huge church on your left and the skate park is in there.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:30 pm
This is a sick edit. But i dont understand why everyone hates the direction that skating is going. i think that the growing variety in styles including the technical aspects are positive, skating is progressing all over the world with the wrs bringing new talent from europe like julien cudot into the mainsteam. He has been throwing down crazy spins like fakie 720’s to topsoul all year.
