It’s called stunt rollerblading, and one of the biggest events in the world is happening here in metro Detroit this weekend.

After 3 years of testing and developement Remz presents its latest masterpiece, the brand New ChrisHaffey Signature 2.0.
The skate was entirely rethought by Chris Haffey who personally put a multitude of samples through the test to meet his high expectations.
Style-wise Chris takes it back to the days when he began riding Remz. The skate features the classic color scheme reminiscent of the first Remedy, a fresh low cut skin, a redesigned rear lacing system, and strong hockey laces giving the skate a distinctive and athletic look. “When you’re rocking these they look like mid-top shoes, looks super sick!” says Chris.
Technically speaking the Haffey2.0 introduces Remz’ new concept of High Resilience (HR) skin giving optimum control & foot support, as well as a redesigned Remz liner offering an even more precise & accurate all around fit with a new ergonomic insole & a softer shock absorber. “It sucks your foot in there and keeps it right where it needs to be so you’re in complete control at all times”.
The ChrisHaffey 2.0 features Chris’ own V-cut + strap setup, with the optional buckle included in the box, GC FTL2 frames and new Chris Haffey 4×4 wheels.
As a reflection of Chris, The Remz Chris Haffey Signature skate blends superior technique and progressive style. Freedom-of-feet approved.

A Dvd of the Fise 2009 Event will be release in France (march 10, 2010). It will feature Mathias Silhan, Brian Shima, Franky Morales and more (photo below).
Chris was recently featured on a “fake or real?” type of show on Pro Sieben (German TV).
They saw his infamous 666-rail clip on Youtube (originally from Lonnie Gallego’s video NOISE) and went all the way to Los Angeles so Chris could prove he could do it again.
You can check the video on the official Pro Sieben website (availiable only for German Residents).
Thanks Al Dolega & Meatlove.

Remz are proud to present the highly anticipated Chris Haffey pro skate.
As I’m sure you are aware Chris Haffey is one of the world’s most respected and admired pro skaters. It therefore seems fitting that he has been rewarded with a brand new pro skate for 2010.
Kato and Chris have worked hard to re-design the Remz skin and the results are amazing. The new, low cut skin designed by Chris himself, provides all of the support you have come to expect from a Remz skate, while allowing a greater range of flexibility and movement.
With the addition of a classic colour scheme, Ground Control’s No.1 selling frame and Chris’ brand new 4×4 wheel this skate is sure to be a hot seller.
