Bitter Cold Showdown 2010 through the lenses of ONE. Delayed bags, snowy roads, industry meetings, the crowded tradeshow, and the main event — here’s yet another recap of the action to add to the memory banks.

This is the intermediate and warm ups and all that bullshit.

This edit highlights the finals of Bittercold Showdown Ten. Controversy ensued after Chris Haffey took the number one spot of what the crowd believed to be John Bolino’s win.
Either way everyone skated like mad men and we managed to only miss a few clips from the riders. Enjoy the dudes and affiliates in the Vibralux St.Ar edit.

Rat-tail @ the BCSD 2010:
This year’s Bitter Cold Showdown was yet again another amazing year of skating, fun, debauchery and drama.
It was great seeing so many skaters year after year converging on one spot, killing it and having a blast. Congratulations to 4×4 and Ground Control’s Chris Haffey for taking first place!
Also Congrats to the rest of our riders who placed in the top 10. John Bolino (Nimh / Vicious) placed 2nd. Brian Aragon (Ground Control) placed 3rd. Alex Broskow (4×4) placed 4th. Brian Shima (Nimh / 4×4 / Vicious / Ground Control) placed 8th. Jeff Stockwell (Vicious) placed 9th.
All controversy and destruction aside, I had a great time at Bittercold this year. Getting the chance to meet up with all my friends and watching the best blading on the planet is what the Bittercold experience is all about.
I won’t say anymore about this year, I’ll just let the photos and edit do the talking.

It’s called stunt rollerblading, and one of the biggest events in the world is happening here in metro Detroit this weekend.
Would you believe the world’s premiere indoor skate park is right on the border of Madison Heights and Royal Oak?
“We have people from Europe, South Africa, Brazil, Peru, Australia,” said owner George Leichtweis.
Leichtweis is once again welcoming the best inline skaters and thousands of spectators for the Tenth Annual Bitter Cold Showdown at Modern Skate Friday and Saturday. [...]
BitterCold ShowDown has nothing to do with the beach or the beachboys or even california. But the contest was so good it was better than a day at the beach staring at girls in bikinis… Even if it was freezing, nothing bitter about it.

Raw clips of the competition that went down at BCSD:
Okay, so we need some help. We were looking through some of the best pics photographer John Haynes shot while BCSD X unfolded, and we found ourselves getting distracted by some of the awesome, random crowd moments today’s ultra-high resolution cameras provide us a glimpse of in the backgrounds.
Which is where you folks come in. Let’s get some captions from you guys. How about our favorite caption wins their choice of a ONE t-shirt or lithograph set? Let the fun begin, and see the action we cropped out of these shots when the pics hit the pages next issue.
