Art of Rolling Magazine is proud to announce the release of our new website ArtOfRolling.net! As you all may know, New York City has been emerging in the skating scene as a center for freestyle rolling and a powerful network for skaters worldwide. With the help of web master Marcus Oliveira, we have constructed a user friendly website that allows instantaneous access to New York City’s best freestyle rolling talent. With updates on AOR’s on goings in preparation for each issue, we allow our viewers exclusive access to photos and video of the action before it is released in our magazine.

We also give our viewers free access to all AOR’s past issues as well as featured articles that are exclusive only to Art of Rolling Magazine. On top of all this, we also allow access to our newest branch of Art of Rolling Finger Skates on our finger skate website where you can purchase your very own AOR Fingerskates. Essentially, our new Art of Rolling Magazine website will give you first dibs on New York’s growing influence in the industry and the skaters who make that happen!

Bonus: John Stephens huge 3 trick line in the Bronx

Getting out to the Bronx is no easy task but when ever John Stephens says he has a stunt in mind, We try our best to make it out there and get some coverage.

With Ramelle Knight and Ralphy Herrera with him i couldnt have asked for a better team. They gave John the support he needed in order to pull 3 crazy stunts into one line.

Anyone who has been to the Bronx knows about the steep stair cases out there. John showed no fear and rode down the stairs like he was on a ski slope. We mange to put a mini edit of the line, But keep tuned to issue 7 for full picture coverage of the day.

Rolling has been around for longer than many people know. From its rough beginnings with make-shift skates to nowadays with specialty skates, aggressive rolling has surely come a long way in such a short time. Nonetheless, it is important to know who the founders of skating are and what they are up to in order to bring the future together.

When it boils down to it, skaters and our scene are merely products of what already was and what has already happened. Being that our sport is so new, we do not have a “textbook” informing people of the history of rolling. That, along with the progression of media and technology, has left a lot of the new school skaters in the dark. A lot of new comers, as well as some of the old ones, have not been exposed to the history of rolling. With knowledge of the past, skaters are then able to appreciate where the sport has traveled thus far, and are able to appreciate what rolling truly is. There is never a moment that should be forgotten or a person to go unknown.

Back when rolling was in it’s infancy, everyone who had skates on their feet played a key role in the progression of skates, tricks and it’s scene. Does this sound familiar? This is the exact same way the scene functions nowadays: on the productivity of skaters themselves. Every skater still continues to play a key roll in skating and in the progression of the scene today. It is important to know who came before us because if we neglect to inform ourselves of the past, then people outside of skating will not be able to appreciate who we are.

There are times where people tend to think that they’re better off than others and have done things that have never been done; but just like the tricks and trends of today, we are reflections of what was yesterday. Therefore, this issue of Art of Rolling Magazine is dedicated to the past and those who have paved the way for our skate culture.

A Glimpse into New York City’s Art of Rolling.

quoting Angelo Ferrer:

Magazines are very expensive to put out. They come in all forms and all sizes. But beyond that, there is a point to them which is to convey a message to people and to have it compact yet include tons of information.

Layla and I have been trying to put NYC on the map for skating. This is our way of trying to give back and contribute to the skate scene in NYC that is underground but is still flourishing. We are currently going to be putting out online zines and limited amounts (50-100) free copies of it as well.

In the future we will be working with different photographers in NYC and giving insights on some of the NYC skaters themselves.
