It’s been a while since our last UFS Throne, but wait no longer! Dominic Sagona is possibly the world´s most stylish skater, and without doubt one of the biggest icons of the sport. Dominic chose a UFS Throne with all the highest specs.
The Kizer Fluid 4 has taken the anti-rocker market by storm, and the USD A-Top Phoenix Liner is USD´s best liner yet. The skate includes Dom´s new BHC Pro wheels, Abec 7 bearings and UC Anti-Rocker wheels. Stylish Skates? That´s an understatement!
Dominic Sagona posted his interview from Clac Magazine #1 (french + english language). Thanks Oli Benet. The pictures used in the interview are available in good quality at Powerhouse.
Dominic Sagona is an icon for our sport, he has shaped blading into what it is today, and the best part is, he is still going strong.
Dominic is one of our good friends, he recently moved to Arizona, and we’re honored to have him be a part of our skate scene. Dominic keeps things simple in his life, he focuses on his skating, music, and family.
I am 28, and have been rollerblading for around 20 years now. I can’t stop, allthough sometimes my body asks me to.
I Dj in Spain and around Europe, mostly drum and bass and dubstep.
I’m learning to shoot photos, and also getting into acting, with a few jobs under my belt so far. I work for a group of inline companies under The Conference.
What’s it like to play in front of a big crowd at a club, feel the peoples energy and see how they react to what you are doing?
It’s really unlike anything else that I do or have done before. I think to just zen out and be yourself, to just do what you do, to do it properly in front of people who are reacting in such an enthusiastic and positive way is one of the greatest feelings. [...]
Is this feeling in any way comparable to skating in front of a crowd or to just skating in general? With the adrenalin rush you get when lacing a difficult trick or during the summit of a good session maybe?
Yes, this feeling is almost the same, I think. To get an instant response from other people to what you are doing at that exact moment. I think many of the big contest skaters probably know this feeling more than most of us, and some of them feed off of it, as do DJ’s feed off the crowd.
But for me I do not like skating in front of anyone anymore, only a small group of friends who are a part of the session. I get anxiety before I play at a gig, but it’s usually gone by the time I start to catch a groove. [...]
This week, let’s take a look at the Box Magazine Class of 2000 from the January 2000 issue.
It is interesting to look at the list of names featured and see the different paths their lives have taken.
Every skater on the list has left an impact on skating. Some of them continue to influence the blading universe with their skating or other talents, while others have moved on with their lives or faded into obscurity or infamy. — Ben Rogers
