After his first place finish in the prelims, Marc Englehart was up all night doing a rain dance. Still, the vert comp went off without a hitch. Taïg Khris threw down; Shane Yost killed it, but in the end, nobody could top the original golden boy, Takeshi Yasutoko.

Here is an ad that is currently broadcasted in France. It’s about the Fiat Grande Punto car and features a rollerblader. The skater don’t do anything too fancy (he rolls, do a 360 and launch a soul) but it was a nice surprise to discover it ! Anyone got an idea of the skater’s name or details about the ad ?

In the evening after the work i run back at home to my computer and started to work again for what i was believing in. I slept 4-5 hours a night, lost friendships, wasn’t able to see my parents once a week and saw my girlfriend just in the bed.
But that was exactly what i wanted to do! I had ideas and i wanted to realize them. Why? Because i love rollerblading and without it, i would be a completely other person. And with the Winterclash i got my chance to give something back. [...]
