Barely Dead, a film by Doug Urquhart, written by Justin Eisinger.

Barely Dead Preview: PLAY

Eleven Years after the first X-Games, Rollerblading has found itself, fighting a war for survival, that has inadvertantly created the very history rolling was discredited for lacking by others. Barely Dead is the story of a global community of outcasts and athletes pulling together to explain and express their one unifying & interest : ROLLERBLADING.

Although the ISPO has become a lot smaller in the last years, it’s still the biggest sports trade fair in the world. Thus all the companies present their latest products. Besides the new stuff that is shown, we had the chance to take a glimpse at the new USD, Deshi and Xsjado stuff and all I can say is, they look sick. Anyway, back to the present, here you can check out the products that will be released in the near future.
