The Aesthetics of Skating by Nick Riggle

The Aesthetics of Skating by Nick Riggle

Skaters have a unique aesthetic perspective on their own activity and on public space — a perspective we shouldn’t ignore.

Skaters are either pests or eXtreme dare devils (or eXtreme dare devil pests). Either they’re scuffing up a beautiful public planter box or handrail, or they’re engaged in some death-defying, oooh-aaahhh-inspiring spectacle on ESPN.

Either way, they’re insufferable, crass, misanthropic, self-endangering underlings (even if they’re undeniably pretty cool). Either way, it would be strange to think that skating requires a high level of skill in aesthetic perception, judgment, and action. [...]

Louie Zamora about K2 and Rollerblading

January 15th, 2012

A lot of skaters noticed that Louis Zamora wasn’t skating K2s in the latest “9TO5 Weekend with Louie Zamora & Brian Aragon” video (he was skating Valos) ; Here are more informations on the subject.

What’s up dudes

There was no “falling out” between K2 and I. The simple fact of the matter is they aren’t ready to invest in our sport. I was the only one doing everything for the Varsity skate, and my input would be taken and used sometimes, and sometimes it wouldn’t.

I would never know until I got the sample, which was very unpredictable at best. A long time ago, I told K2 that I would like to spend my career with them and improve their products along the way. My passion is obviously on wheels, but it also lies in the design and function of the products we use everyday as bladers.

I was told that we have no budget for a team, no budget for travel, and no money to help me stay as productive as possible. I was fine with that, believing we could really start something great by just blading and staying positive, and hopefully all of those things would fall inline eventually.

The main reason I had to leave was because a person told me that I would not get design credit for aything, and that an option for a “pro skate” wasn’t an option.

Kaya Turski: Wild (Woodward) West State of Mind

What’s up everyone! Here’s the second State of Mind Webisode of the season: Wild (Woodward) West State of Mind.

Some of you may know that I grew up rollerblading. Ya ya fruitbooter! ;) All jokes set aside, I really did love it and feel as though it’s helped me become the skier I am today.

Last summer, my girl Ashley Battersby and I rolled out to Woodward West in Cali on some windy days to get some foam pit action going. We had a blast, check it out!

Right now I’m shredding in Mammoth getting ready for X, next webisode coming soon, stay tuned! – Kaya Turski.
