  1. Steve Says:

    how and why is this guy considered a pro skater, i mean honestly that was trash does he not know a topsoul to a backside royal is not a trick

  2. odonald Says:

    some ok stuff, but horrible style. does not compare to david sizemore. the rollerblade pro team makes no sense at all.

  3. Frazer Says:

    David Sizemore is literally the worst skater ever. I’d much rather watch Steve skate.

    That illusion true top soyale was my personal favorite. And then the front nugen to drop, I know where that is, it’s sick.

  4. Just sayin... Says:

    Now, Im not a huge Steve Swain fan BUT when he posts an edit of him KILLING park everyone slates him saying he cant skate street. He never claimed street was his forte but he put himself out there and actually did some pretty sick shit. In regards to questioning his position on the Rollerblade team, didnt he finish top ten or something in the WRS? So really, he skates comps, skates them well, and places…why wouldnt they have him on the team? They are smart, they have strong street skaters, strong park skaters and then freaks like Seizmore who can do everything!

    However, Steve is an arrogant ‘pro’ sometimes, so some humbling could be good.

  5. eric Says:

    He’s clearly better at park, not that I’m holding that against him, I love park skating too. But the edit should be mostly his beastly park skating if that’s his thing, rather than trying to film street clips when he just looks uncomfortable.

  6. si Says:

    redonculous swain!

    nice splicing jord

  7. Josh Says:

    ive got to disagree with you guys i thought the skating was pretty nice; the tricks were for the most part fairly difficult, his style was solid as and he looked like he had complete control on every grind. Maybe he wasnt doing 540 sweats on stuff but skating is about more than just nailing huge tricks. He looked at home on street, everything was perfectly held (which i prefer to the “how many switch ups can i fit on a rail approach” and like he enjoyed it and i definetly enjoed watching it more than a lot of edits ive seen on here lately.

  8. Decepticon Says:

    Personally I think he should stick to the park, his style is more suited to an environment that has transitions.. That edit didn’t really do anything for me, he definitely loves a sloppy front nugen in it. In order to regain some respect someone should post up a ridiculous line that he laces in UKskate park.. That’ll put a halt on some of the flack that’ll come from this edit.

  9. Rooms Says:

    Hey ! Yhat’s the first time I see him skating street, and it was pretty good ! His style was ok, and some of the tricks were insane ! That’s good !

  10. Jon Says:

    Well, I’m American, but everyone that has been to the U.K. knows that it’s A LOT harder to skate there. Cobblestones, high rails and roughness everywhere.

  11. Welland Says:

    I think the real issue here is, why do people wear odd skates? I mean I wouldn’t go out wearing odd shoes.

  12. me Says:

    that was bollocks. Pro skater? Rubbish…

  13. . Says:

    He skates park = spin to win

    Street = he holds stuff

    This lad has show he can do the best of both worlds better than your or my self can. The people that matter in this industry like steven and love his skating just as much as many others do.

    Personal I think this was a nice well structured section, dont hate on the section as well as 95% of you couldnt do all that stuff.

  14. me Says:

    David Sizemore worst skater ever?

    Think your taking that a bit far you tool

  15. JordanMCR Says:

    Get a vimeo so at least you can show your face and slag off like a real man.

  16. tim Says:

    god save the queen

  17. Frazer Says:

    Mate, if you are going to call Steve an unstylish skater and then use David Sizemore as an example of a stylish skater, you are actually out of this world you are so deluded. If you had said Steve isn’t stylish, compared with a Shane Skowers, Tat Nasu, or Dominic Sagona, then I would be compelled to agree, even though that doesn’t necessarily mate Steve an unstylish skater.

    I would rather watch Steve skate, do a nice long grabbed fish brain, than a helmet clad turd doing out of control ungrabbed 900’s.

    It’s not the technicality that matters, but the way you do it. Steve is far superior in style.

    I would sacrifice a billion David Sizemores for one Feinberg or Latimer. Any one who disagrees with that statement doesn’t know skating.

  18. Frazer Says:

    That edit you left MORE than reinforces my conviction and confirms my statement…

  19. yeah Says:

    what are you talking about? I didnt say he was more stylish. I said if you think savid sizemore is the worst skater ever your a tool.

    Go lick some pro’s arse hole….fuckin bum trim

  20. Frazer Says:

    Without style you can’t be good… Technicality doesn’t make a trick.

    Your statement ‘Go lick some pro’s arse hole’ is fucking hilarious, as you are actually rimming David Sizemore out for breakfast.

  21. mikerise Says:

    He’s clearly better at the park

  22. jeremy kyle Says:

    yeah sizemore is a cardboard cut out park skater, the only reason frazer can get away with saying hes the worst skater ever is cos he can do everything sizemore can do but 1000 times better! idiot! but i do agree with welland that different colour skate thing is sooo 2008…

  23. kb Says:

    i think it was pretty hard to watch,because the filming was pretty bad.some nice tricks though!

  24. yeah Says:

    I dont actually think david sizemores that good. just better than swain..

    and if frazer is frazer watson then yeah…u can do everything he can do but better.

  25. yeah Says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDqA6zO5baA

    Cardboard cut out park skater? I think fucking not

  26. 4114N Says:

    i think…the guy can do some nice tricks!! more attention for style will be great… but… his skates, are really ugly… and he do better than that, put a different pair!!! fuck!!!
    whata non sense!

  27. joel Says:

    Please, who started to talk about Sizemore, this is a Steven Swain edit, and it is the first street edit he does. You really think what he needs is some comments like ‘Sizemore is superman, steven is shit’ ?
    Could you not just let him know it’s good to see him appreciate street skating, and even if there are better street skaters out there, you have to admit he IS really good at street skating.
    All tricks were perfectly laced, I can understand some people don’t like his taste of colour, as for I like the way he dresses and his skates looked pretty stylish !
    As for style, ease and technicity, anybody saying Swain hasn’t the three of them never saw him skate.
    Just remember this guy is a killer in skate park, he just started street skating and is already good at it, and it’s just a mather of time until he discovers he can be as good in street skating than in park.
    You impressed me in this edit Steven, hope to see other street edit soon !!

  28. monkey shoes Says:

    well to be fair david sizemore has some hench balls i mean have you seen his one clips? mate he deserves respect just for that.

  29. jeremy kyle Says:

    its not his first street edit and he is pretty good ;D

  30. mrace Says:

    haha yes yes , welland that was well said!!!! anyways, ok so yeah park rat swain… he once said to me, i skate park because i like it blah blah, i dont need to skate street and prove myself… well apparently you do… like most people have said stick to the park rat boy!!yeah laced a couple of nice ones not gonna lie, but gotta work on your style boiiiii, haha, but look.a PRO should be able to skate everything, and skate everything bloody well!!! asin, bailey for a start, or motre, elliot stevens blah blah , you get the ponnit im making, you gotta be an all rounder…so honestly good job pal, but not good enough, not pro standard, you tube maybe, haha, oh and ermm otherpeople on your team shouldnt be able to show you up how they do.. you guys should all be on some sort of same level…some sort…anyway, stick to what you know and quite good at.. peace rat boy!

  32. mrace Says:

    haha had to re post a couple of dumb spelling mistakes. in the quickness of throwing down some letters!

  33. Chris Says:

    Yes, that is Frazer Watson.

  34. Guy Crawford Says:

    I don’t understand what any of the haters have a problem with. Solid held tricks with grabs, good switchups and speed. What exactly are you all looking for? Steve Swain has consistently placed highly in everything he’s ever entered. People talked shit on him for park skating so he put out a solid street edit and still people are gunning for him? Style is a personal thing and Steve’s is solid- instead of saying “Shitty style”, why not truthfully say “not to my taste” or “not american” or simply “I’m jealous, why can’t I be pro instead?”.

    Keep killing it Steve, I always look forward to your edits.

    Guy

  35. flowskate Says:

    what are any of you talking about?
    that was some solid super stylish skating there.
    your all blind…

  36. Nick Says:

    What the fuck Rollernews? Are many of you on your periods? Everyone has a problem lately, and all I am seeing is good skating in these edits. A lot of you need to reach for the tampons (or you know, make your own edits).

  37. Scott_Nairn Says:

    just remembered why I never go to the front page of RN anymore. so many of the comments on every video are from absolute retards.

  38. Jordan Says:

    I cant understand why everyones slating him! that was one of the sickest edits on one person ive seen in ages!

  39. Beef Says:

    is he wearing one trs and one solo and some points?

  40. Tom Fry Says:

    This guy don’t deserve to be pro! How can he be pro and JC Rowe flow? Are you fucking kidding me?

  41. Matt D Says:

    RE: Haters.

    “It is just a shame that so much of our attention (and our energy) has to be wasted on people who have so little to contribute.” – Arlo Eisenberg

  42. Tombo Says:

    who the fuck is JC rowe? never heard of him…..

  43. mr.red Says:

    Hard tricks, especially loved the illusion to TTS, but i’m just not fan of his style. He however is indeed skillfull !

  44. Bling Bling Says:

    Swain is sick at park, no doubt. As far as street goes hes good, but not that good. This edits a washout, too many of the same spots recycled. Spend more time at different spots and perfecting style instead of throwing together a rush job. As for the haters they are always going to hate, especially when the skater in question has a bad attitude and is too ‘big time’ to talk to anyone.

  45. Alex Miranda Says:

    Lot a wack lil haters on Rollernews.
    if you hate on Steve’s skating then you
    are the one thats really wack.

    that was fresh man. keep it up

  46. sale gros Says:

    i dont understand why that guy is pro…….its a joke………..? ugly style ugly tricks ugly clothes ugly skates ugly everything its like the english roman godenaire……..when rollerblading will be back will real skaters ..please tell me……or wake up the dead heroes please……….watch brain fear gone…please…….

  47. Tom Hyser Says:

    Amazing edit Steven! Ignore the delusional meat-heads talking smack. I’ve been in this industry for 18 years. I’ve seen all the trends and dudes that blow up and fizzle out. You’ve got nothing but time and skills. When dudes are hating you are doing something right. Not good enough to be a pro?? Maybe you haters have never seen Steven skate in person…. It’s insane, huge and tech… Personally it’s refreshing to see a skater doing their own thing, not trying to look like some kind of skateboarder wanna-be. The UK Swain-flu will infect you all!! This kid is on point! I’m sure just like Sizemore, you haters are just fueling Swain to shred even harder while you sit at your computer harvesting the crust from your bums!

  48. sale gros Says:

    alex miranda u are like that guy,when i was a kid i never understood why u had a profile in the amateur video, u sucks,and its like that guy when u sucks u dont have to be a pro and when dont want to see you…..its like that so everybody can be ugly and pro now……..i saw so much edit on rollernews with unknow people who destroy everything……but they dont do flat spin 900 to soul on a skatepark…aslo fuck skatepark back in the days skatepark was for suckers now we see only skateparks edits ITS SUCKS

  49. sale gros Says:

    remember whats pro mean? its mean show a good skating who makes u want go outside buy the same skate and skate,that guy dont makes me want to go buy rollerblade and skate…….he makes me puke….but not ROB G and rob G dont do 540 ao disaster soul……….fuck that shit rollerblading is fucked up now..viva el skateboarding…….

  50. Chance Bentley Says:

    Wow for some reason that got me super juiced….
    Shit was Freshh!!!!

  51. fatpig Says:

    yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhouuuuuuuuuuu so you are an asshole :)

  52. fatpig Says:

    ive seen this guy in real llots of time and its more ugly in real…..

  53. smoker Says:

    the point is: rolemodels should be pro… people like Morales, Haffey etc. Those are idols. I doubt hes a role model, his style is not distinctive enough

    but: Hes good & getting better. That was the first edit that was pretty enjoyable… sponsored skaters have a hard time at the moment on rollernews…

  54. smoker Says:

    the problem about RB is… if you follow this role-model idea, none of those who are pro for rollerblade (except Rob G) deserve it. They all skate really really good, but none of them makes me wanna buy his skate

  55. D Says:

    Haters come down to UKSKATE skatepark and we will shank you up and fuck your mothers.

  56. rollerblading is gay Says:

    who’s this frat boy? lol. probably a quick edit cause he can obviously do the tricks. throw us some online goodness with cleaned up tricks

    and sizemore is better than any of you guys will be. keep hating him and making people take another look at him.

  57. Drew Says:

    i have a really tiny penis

  58. Frazer Says:

    Steve is an old Rehab head, not some new kid that has just popped out of nowhere. He has earnt his sponsorship deal, he has paid enough dues over the years with people constantly hating him. Americans won’t know him, but they are no concern of mine.

    So what if he likes to skate park, what is wrong with that? I’d say you were weird if you don’t like to skate park… (unless you’re one of those ’sick street skaters’ who can’t skate park so says it is shit). He can skate street, as he has more than proved in this edit, I’m willing to bet far better than you people that are slagging him off.

    Steve is a pleasure to skate with. If you don’t like his style, that’s up to you, no one is forcing you to. Just follow my brilliant example, if you watch an edit on here and don’t like the guys style, click pause and load the next one… Instead of leaving your gay comments, just don’t watch.

    ESPECIALLY DON’T LEAVE THEM ANONYMOUSLY… That is the mark of a full on queer pussy.

    Not to mention that this edit was made over the period of around two weeks. During the English Winter… Everyone is forced to be a park rat over the Winter in England, it’s either that or don’t skate.

    Steve might not be good enough to be pro in your opinion, but he is better than a lot of pros I know, and better than most of the sponsored skaters in this country. I’ll even kiln everybody out and give you examples…

    Be a bit more reasonable in your criticism, instead of leaving blind hate.

  59. Tyboh Says:

    When i read comments like all that bullshit, i understand why people think bladers are suckers…

    Woodpushers, fruitbooters, same battle : a cool sport practiced by stupid kids.

    Skate more haters

  60. kmt eire Says:

    Ive seen so much dope skating over the years ,but only certain tricks will always stick in my head, one being swains disaster 540 tru acid on that kinked rail in rampworx last year 4 some event !Now that was heavy duty shit that
    I dont think anyone would like 2fuck with ! i mean anyone !
    Props on the edit man

  61. kmt eire Says:

    nly 2 days ago arlo left a great article on here ,,, none of u kids read it yet ?

  62. AaronF Says:

    i thought that edit was was sick!.. sure it was pretty generic as far as street skating goes but you cant say the tricks were bad, there was obvious control and he laid down some hammers!
    i agree with Frazer that hes alot better than most the sponsored skaters in this country.. but in my experience most the sponsored skaters in this country don’t deserve to be sponsored. i know so many skaters from round here that would shit all over most the major UK teams in style and tricks.. but then again its not what you know its who you know..

  63. shaneskower1 Says:

    It’s been a long time since i saw skating this ill and insane, his moves remind me back in the day, doing tru top porns on kink rails!!
    Me and Aaron alsways said UK rollerblading is super hard with shitty ass spots so hes paid his JEWS on that note!
    Yeh ill admit it ive got the swaine-flu all over my body and so does aaron, we sometimes look in the mirror and reminisce about touching eachothers skates with baby oil ( because his skating is super greasy)
    Take some sleeping pills and catch some zzzzzzz’s because this thread has been taken over. bitches!

  64. RCH Says:

    just more proof that Rollernews is full of nothing but raw wankers, single handedly you guys are destroying all positive aspects of rollerblading, i’ve been skating with Steve now for the past 2-3 years and everytime i see him skate it is like something i’ve never seen before, this guy is built for rollerblading, throws it down harder than anyone else and his style and solid tricks are flawless. this guy is one in very few who can hold it down, who similar to lomax have a distinctive style, i’ve dedicated almost 12years of my life to rolling and the negative and straight retarded attitudes of some rollerbladers is just forcing me to stop. if rollerbladings going anywhere people need sort their heads out and just stay positive and support the cause or were all just going to seen as a bunch of pretentious cunts and if we really throw it down we all know it comes down to jealously, standard.

  65. Steve Says:

    let me straighten it out right now.

    This is a edit representing rollerblading in a whole. When you put it out on the market that this guy is a PROFESSIONAL rollerblader, it is just a joke. For instance on the one of many Handicap rails, namely the one with the fence on the end, this guy does a fishbrain to forward which is hilarious, a true mizou 3, and a switchup i seen done in 1999, and not only that he didn’t even jump over the fence which would have been the cool part but its a flat rail and you would not see a pro put that in his section.

    Furthermore he did a front farf on about 1/4 of a another flat rail and dropped off, dope. His spins out are not good and everyone getting mad when you add sizemore into the mix, well sizemore was the first edit of this “VIDEO” so when you follow sizemore with something like this you start to question the validity of it.

    If this guy legit gets paid money to skate that’s bullocks because he just does not deserve it, not only is his skating sloppy but there’s just nothing special about him. Kinda wack in all honesty, he is not on the same level of a Rob G, or a David sizemore, hate david or not but he is still young and has come a very long way skating and style wise and would much rather watch him skate any day of the week

    the ones hating on him are probally his english hometown heros, which quite frankly have little taste in what good skating is anyway, and his last tricks in “park” were sloppy.

  66. Steve Says:

    PS. i know fuck all about rollerblading and spend most of my time bitching on the internet about people iv never met under an anonymous name, because im sooooo cool

  67. joe atkinson Says:

    sick, very good

  68. Lukas Says:

    @Tombo: JC Rowe is one of the most stylish rollerbladers in the world. He was pro for remz and made a kinda stupid move changing to xsjado and is now flow though he deserves pro more than anyone. But he still kills it.

  69. mitchell Says:

    i can’t believe half are you are abusing sizemore, did none of you see his solo collective edit, his style has improved hugely!

  70. Steve Says:

    Quote” PS. i know fuck all about rollerblading and spend most of my time bitching on the internet about people iv never met under an anonymous name, because im sooooo cool”

    #1 don’t copy my name, and this is not a “fake” name.
    #2 i skate probally a lot more then you think and know a lot more about rollerblading then you
    #3 i dont like watching shitty roller blading like this being showcased to the world because it is embarassing to what i do.

  71. rob Says:

    easy steve, people who see you skate know you can lace heavy shit, even in a chilled sesh you look like you have ten years plus on everyone whos any good at uk skate.
    surprised the last fake name comment wa the one that brought a response, people have said some much nastier shit in these comments and i woulda liked to see you back yourself up a bit, every one else in the north is behind you, your skating speaks for its self, so dont be taking no more gay ass comments off people who cant do half what you can on skates.

    we should have a rollerblade bitch-down
    a skate-off against all the bitches and haters and faceless commenters, every one who looses has to go learn skateboarding, or flower arranging, or dogging.

  72. Pete D Says:

    This website is making me hate the rollerblader attitude.
    I know steve not too well but I’ve been to winterclash with him twice now and both times he placed in the top 3???? yeh he is dead shit ??
    Frazer is hiting the nail on the head and I agree with 100% and on a personal note I think there was a post on here about hating on your own kind about 5 days ago by Arlo ??? Nice to know were all trying to change for the better of our sport???
    If this is how the rollerblading industry behaves ? Than I think I will keep to myself and skate with my mates and am pretty sure that rollerblading is going to be in the same place it is know when I can’t skate no more or even worse YOU BUNCH OF CUNTS

  73. onelovenohate Says:

    i still LOVE rollerblading, and so do a bunch of nice people, but try to remember that when you complain about people hating and then end your statement with “YOU BUNCH OF C@#TS,” you’re hating too. we all have to remember that it’s not just the other person who’s guilty, WE ARE ALL GUILTY of being overcritical and even hateful at times (sorry to anyone i’ve ever offended on here). we need to be more positive as a group and more forgiving, and then maybe our culture will grow. as it is, i just see more and more people falling by the wayside…

    on a more positive note, steven swain is super sick! he’s got a really athletic style and he gets huge amplitude on 900s and basically any kind of air, and i agree with Tom Hyser that he is WAY more impressive live, but still pretty nice to watch in videos. if he could make his landings stick like velcro, you know like broskow, then he would be the sickest skater ever!!

  74. onelovenohate Says:

    OMG can’t believe my fake swear word is a link! kids, do not follow that link!

  75. blake Says:

    you tell em fray!!!!!! you guy who hate make me laugh! but just cause we roll don’t mean we all gotta love each other tho! don’t work like that but keep it to yourself cause no 1 care’s what you’s think! if you can do better put it up! and see what people have got to say about? not sure you’d be to happy if the skate was on the other foot!!!!!!!!!

  76. Less Hate more Skate Says:

    It would appear alot people need to get off their laptops and man up!…….Why not make ur own edits and have them posted, rather than pass negative jealous judgement on others with more ability!

    I’ll tell u why u wont, its because you cant!

    If ya Cant skate, dont slate!

    Frazer is 100% accurate!
    I believe u lot are most likely a bunch of ass licking post 99 skaters with nothing better to do than wear girls jeans and pass ignorent judgement.

  77. Pete D Says:

    Ive had my edit on rollernews before so whats your excuse ??
    And I got hated on obviously but I do hate haters and i will shout it out as much as I can.

  78. rob Says:

    a least people are talking about you steve..

  79. yup Says:

    sorry…but that whas one SICK edit!!!

    keep on rollin steve..
    love to see more of you in the future…

    ps: dont hate on sizemore, the kid is a beast

  80. marc Says:

    sik edit, steve kills it he has so much control. some of the spots in that vid are so hard to skate as well!

  81. charles Says:

    I can’t understand all the hater, except one think I’m sure about them, their probably not very good at skating and certainly not as good as steve swain.
    Each time I go to Bone I enjoyed see him skating. Some of the spot here are really, really hard to skate.
    Props man

  82. David Sizemore Says:

    Frazer Watson needs to shut the fuck up, ill bang him out the little pussy.

  83. Brian Aragon Says:

    All you guys are shit, if your hating them then make your own edit if you think your better than them. Im the best skater in the world. no one is better than me. ill smash anyone out that thinks any different.

  84. Less Hate more Skate = the Baptist Says:

    If u are British and that is aimed at me Pete i strongly suggest you shut ur mincey lil fag lips befpre somebody gets a fuckin slap! Dont test me i will kick ten tons of shit out of you and educate you in the ways of becoming a man…./by ramming my fist so deep down ur sarcastic lil poncey throut! Twat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve more than likely skated for longer than you’ve had pubes you vile ghastly lil man !

  85. Andoryuu Says:

    constructive criticism only please.
    I liked the skating and appreciate Steve’s ability, I think he is good enough to be a pro purely based on his competition skating as for street skating he doesn’t even have to set foot there if he doesn’t want to but he does anyway even though it won’t effect his sponsorship.
    Yes I don’t PERSONALLY enjoy his dress sense or skates BUT it’s not worth mentioning because no matter how much I enjoy my specific dress style (musically influenced) it has no bearing whatsoever on skill level.
    Anybody that fails to see past what someone is wearing an through to the content of that persons ability is clearly too immature and underdeveloped as a human and a rollerblader to be posting comments.

    I vote for some moderation on rollernews with the emphasis on hate comment removal, the true spirited rollerbladers don’t want to hear that drivel.
