I just received the newly released Xsjado JC Rowe and spent my last 2 days in Barcelona skating to test their performance.

I could tell you what I think of them but I’ll let you decide how well they work and look, by watching this quick edit, of the short, yet enjoyable time I spent in them. – Dustin Werbeski.

Filmed by Marc Moreno.

Songs: The Chocolate Watchband – It’s all over now baby blue ; The Beatles – Polythene Pam.

The footage that made it no further. If not for this, it would have simply disappeared in one of the black holes I call hard drives.

Hope you dig the clips, which we never really did.

Here’s a little behind the scenes for one of the advertisements I shot last year. I am not going to go into details about how I achieve the effect I do.

Sorry. But I’ll give you a look at a before and after to the photoshop workflow. The idea behind it, is to basically without altering the action of the skater.

Remove all and any distractions that may take away from viewing this action more clearly. I basically want the images to be what I see in my mind when I shoot them, and I never remember seeing the rubbish, signage or that stranger that walked by at the wrong time. [...]

Imagine Blading is the art of being able to see or view the current physical world, in the moment and in a way that will spark imagination in creating any unique, original or creative rollerblading “trick” ideas.

Desirably pushing the physical and mental limits of the blader performing in their playground, ideally the dense active streets of any major city where the endless possibilities of incorporation, improvisation, imagination, and instincts allow the unpredictable, the magic.

Throughout the summer and fall of 2009, as all of the Canadian rollerbladers enjoyed their usual peak season sessions. A select few so distant and different in many ways, including their views on this activity, which they had all shared and loved for so long. Were documenting themselves for what would unknowingly become a collaboration of Canadas most unique talents and perspectives within rollerblading.

As winter arrived with its coats of snow covering most of Canada, these three would at last find themselves together in the same winter-free city of Vancouver BC. Though each of them would be on their own paths with their own intended destinations, the convergence of such styles and minds as Todd McInerney, Leon Basin and Dustin Werbeski would finally come to create the idea of Imagine-Blading.

The video being presented is not something new, well in many senses it is, but it is merely the simple realization of a subtle characteristic within all rollerbladers, made obvious through the contrast created by the combination of such views.

Personal views which make it clear that everyone perceives and expresses their own interpretation of the same world through their own styles of rollerblading. The result of such would be the title as you see here. IMAGINE BLADE SHUN.

“I felt a sense of freedom watching the trailer. The feeling I get when I throw on my skates on a sunny afternoon, close to the feeling you get in a dream where you remember how to fly…

In an urban environment, Inline skates are a tool of human liberation, because they free us from constraining forces of friction while allowing freedom of movement. Bikes give even more freedom from friction and allow more efficient transfer of human energy, but they constrain movement.

Skateboards are not bound to the feet, but are less efficient than rollerblades in the transfer of human energy to motion and extraordinarily difficult to maneuver. The freedom I’m talking about is the maximization of personal kinetic expression in a sea of concrete. I see a celebration of this in your video.”

-Chris Neima

Perspective on Rollerblading: “I see skating as the perfect medium for self expression, creativity, and exercise of both the body and mind. I have done it long enough, that most of my personal development and experiences have either been directly because of, or greatly influenced by such an enjoyable sport.

Although I rarely do view it as a sport, for I have no rules or standards to meet, but as an art form measured by the pleasure I get from these wheels under my feet. 10 years deep at 23, I see my many years of blading to come, to be, quite enjoyably.”

Dustin Werbeski: Cut from the Pages of the Conference Mag.

I have recently moved from the prairie city of Regina, to the coastal city of Vancouver.

I’m loving life in this real city, but still miss the odd thing from back home.

One thing I’ll miss this winter is our old indoor skate park. Regina’s indoor can be a blessing during the winter, and its no lie to say that its needed to cope with the constant snow covered ground and -30 temperatures.

Yet after a couple months, it always seems to get repetitive and boring. With this past winter sticking to tradition, the snow came, we were all forced indoors, and the boredom soon followed after. I needed something new to re-spark that creative energy and keep me from catching the winter crazy eye.

In the end I’m sure nothing could have been more adequate than the prototype carbons I found in my mailbox? [...]
