Calgary (Alberta, Canada) 2012 edit filmed by Karma, Dallas, Jbo, Klow Dallas Kurtz.

This edit had no pre planned thought, trick selection or spot selection. I let the blades do the work, not putting myself in many dangerous situations, it is bad for the heart.

This is my first edit that i gathered clips from all my friends in a different perspectives, cameras, seasons, skates and sobrietys.

There are no popular trends, pride or specific images specifically portrayed, this is just my subconscious and my spirit rollerblading. – DP.

Dallas Kurtz is a fucking gem. He has given more to this culture than he could ever take from it, the “home-town-hero” of Calgary.

If you are ever scoping out a “new” spot in town chances are D has already hit it. A personality through and through , if you ever have the opportunity to meet him, you won’t forget it.

Here’s to you D, to many more years of memories, on blades or off ‘em, while rocking the jacket or not, RPT for life. -Karma.

Filmed primarily on a Sony Ex-1. Designed in After Effects and Adobe Premiere.

For the third year in a row, rollerbladers from far and wide gathered for the King Of Street Competition in Calgary, Alberta. Every year, rollerbladers take to three street spots and battle it out for $1,000 in cash which is divided between the top three.

Organized and presided over by old school blader Tom Dixon, the skaters are led around the city throwing themselves at the most legendary spots. What makes the competition so special is that the spectators and the competitors vote for the winner, and each individual vote is counted and tallied at the after party in front of everyone…
