One Issue 8, Cover boy : Jon Julio
Jon Julio starts the new year off right, landing on the cover of ONE #8.
Discussing topics ranging from how the industry has evolved during his 12 year career, what happened to Rolling [the game], the origins of Valo, and lessons he’s learned along the way, his interview gives insight into the thoughts of one of blading’s most revered professionals.
Also featuring Carlos Pianowski in Chile, a Picks gallery with Stockwell, Sagona, Farmer, and the rest of the content you expect, ONE #8 officially marks the beginning of another great year of skating.
Via One.

January 5th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
jon julio can do whatever trick he wants over and over again, he made rolling what it is today. god people can bitch over ANYTHING.
i’m interested to hear about what happened to rolling the game, i still love playing that.
January 5th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
sick and tired of julio
January 5th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Respect to JJ. He helped polish rollerblading into what it is today, and still kicking ass
January 5th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
everyone is on the same idea that bla bla can do anything because bla bla invented whatever…
get some independent ideas

Firewire & Retarted, what do you have to contribute to our sport? Are you pro, are you building a brand, maybe creating the buzz to kids, what have you done to support our sport beside skating and buying products that you like or want to ride?
January 5th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Jon Julio is another legend and he’s still skating and has his own skate company, so I think he’s put in his time.
January 5th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
I hate when people are cocky. You’re supposed to support the industry and help make it grow. Don’t be assholes.

touchay :)

i’d rather watch Jon do topsouls for an hour straight than watch one of the many utterly crap sections put out by the newjacks nowadays.
i guarantee that those who are disrespecting will not even be skating at 31, let alone at the level Julio is.
January 6th, 2008 at 2:06 am
To Firewire : Correct views>Independent views
Al Dolega posts here?!
January 6th, 2008 at 2:10 am
yeh he does do a fair few topsouls and souls but id rather wach him do them than aragon or somone equally as booring to watch do 360 souls and topsouls. jon julio can actually do what he wants coz hese a fucking sick dude. the tts on the kink in coupe de tat is one of the sweetest slides anyones ever done so he can do as he pleases. he dusnt need to do anymore tricks
January 6th, 2008 at 3:22 am
i agree wit al dolega. i’ll watch a julio fishbrain and/or topsoul for hour and hours before one of these spin to win edits …
julio FTW

What is really retarded about what dickface Firewire is that he would rather see some grind trick on the cover, when at the same time grinding is the MOST repeated, and over played aspect of skating, while Julio is doing something unique by also throwing in a DOPE wall ride w/ a steezed grab. He is actually progressing skating you fuckin DIPSHIT. Just for you I’ll remind myself to write Julio a letter explaining to him why he needs to stop continuing to advanced skating likes hes been doing for 15 years Which is probably as long as youve been around without having to have your moms why your ass for you!

I Grew UP watching JJ DOING every trick he does. from SOUL to FISH BRAIN to wall ride taping someting.
JJ is my hero man. This guy has already done lot and will still do for our sport.
I want to see those dudes who keep bitching skating like us, on 30´s.
I Bet they dont have 20 yet.
OUR SPORT HAS A VERY NICE HISTORY. but looks like no one cares about it.
I care. I made my Homework.
January 6th, 2008 at 5:02 am
What other owners of companies are still rolling on a good level?
Julio is the man.
January 6th, 2008 at 5:30 am
How can anyone even begin to try and say a bad word about Julio!?!? People who do, know nothing about rollerblading and probably don’t deserve to be involved in it.
January 6th, 2008 at 5:31 am
Oh yeah, it’s a sick cover by the way. Nice one Jon!
January 6th, 2008 at 5:43 am
Rollerblading has a solid foundation, but it can always improve. The last few years has been slipping away, but its up to all of us to keep promoting it and being positive.
January 6th, 2008 at 8:53 am
get off jons dick ya wankers….fools got styles for miles. wheres your respect?
January 6th, 2008 at 8:54 am
get off jons dick ya wankers….fools got styles for miles. wheres your respect? thats a cool cover. im juiced to see the contents
January 6th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Theres no debate here, if you are a rollerblader dissin Julio or any part of rollerbladings history of talents then hang your skates up as you will not go anywhere with it.
January 6th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
first off. I’m 30 and I’m still hitting rails and improving my style and skill level. I really love competing against these new new school guys on their level as well as my own. that being said. Jon is like my hero. I started skating about 15 years ago and the things he could do on skates with the way he made it look easy was something that our world hadn’t seen yet. Now we have the Haffey’s and the Aragons but still. Valo 2 Jon’s switch rocket makio to rocket fishbrain down the down rail was sick as shit. Our biggest problem isn’t the disrespect but the lack of video and media content still available to watch. Most of jons videos were on Vhs which no one has anymore so those sick videos are now overlooked. I sometimes may think to myself why does this person like “The wedge” get so much attention but if you think about it, even if their skating style isn’t the “Shit”. That’s not the reason why the spotlight is on them in the first place. It’s what they brought to the game like the kindgrind which is one of the dopest tricks out there. The kids now-a- days don’t even know who Chris Edwards is or Rene “The Viking” Helgreen (Hope I spelled his name right), they don’t remember the “Roadhouse” the Matty Mantz, the Frankie lascavios Nicky Adams( the first and only Black Gold Champ for X games), or the Kill Team riders. They only know who’s on the Dvd’s in the past 4 years. The education and re-education of our history should be very important to everyone who rides and even more so to our children if we are going to teach them how to roll. So stop spewing your hate and start talking positive things into existence, Don’t say how tired you are of seeing someone bust a trick. Hell at least we have that someone. How tired are you of seeing Every store you walk into having a “Transworld, Big Brother, Skateworld, Skateboarding Magazine section and can’t even have a One mag in there. Or you find it supernaturally rare to had seen a Daily bread or Box magazine somewhere. You should be tired of seeing that. Not a trick. You should be tired of hearing people call us Fruitbooter or gayblade. I know I am. You should be tired of seeing Tony Hawk Games that are so disrespectful to our sport and community by making us out to be fags wearing spandex. Boycott that, get tired of that. You should be tired of always being able to find skateboarding on tv and never Rolling. I’m tired that Time Warner has A channel for cools sports and the only thing on there is skateboarding or biking sometimes. I say if we have a cover of someone doing a 180 off of a 2 stair that’s better than having to watch another X games without us in it. Or having to drive to Downtown LA and seeing a 9 story billboard of a skateboarder doing a trick none of them could never land and a biker doing the same yet we aren’t up there and we are the fathers of X games.
