Many skaters have came and gone throughout the short history of our sport. Many talented people who have impacted blading immensely have came and went within a few short years, no longer to be seen again.
Only a handful have lasted the test of time and continue to progress skating to insane levels today.
Our newest pro rider for Create Originals is one of the most iconic pro’s that our industry has ever seen. Nobody has been skating as hard and as raw for as long as he has. He has an unmatchable track record throughout the years complete with legendary sections, interviews and contest placings.
This guy’s just one of the greatest and we couldn’t be happier to have him down. Ladies and gents, please welcome Brian Shima to the CO pro team. – Billy O’Neill.
A few weeks ago SDSF and I put together a plan to gather everyone up for a MNS (Monday Night Shred). We also had originally already planned to have Louie Zamora do a talking number so it just naturally worked out!
Check out Louie Zamora doing his thing and tearing it up as usual alongside SDSF riders and San Diego locals Hayden Ball, Russell Day & Chris Waters! - Max Manning.
PS: Sorry for the bad audio loggin first 10 sec in. Apparently ML likes to take a crap on syncing every now and then, personally recut and mapped for best result.
By popular demand, here’s more blading from the one and only Louie Zamora.
Ever since our first quick session edit with Louie we’ve been getting out steadily on mini missions. Over a couple recent sessions we hit Rancho Bernardo and downtown SD with the homies, topped off with a trip to one of Chula Vista’s mini skate plazas.
Guest appearances by Hayden Ball, Steve Steinmetz and Steve Zamora round out these sessions.
Brandon Ford has been coming hard as long as I’ve known him (over a decade). Hilarious dude, business owner, full time ripper, great friend. Alex Hogan is official.
I reside in Alameda, California, right next to Oakland. I started skating back in late 1993 when I saw one of my friend’s rollerblading after he got some skates for Christmas. I tried his skates and I was hooked! I can go into the details of how I started aggressive skating, but it’s not that important…let’s just say the day I first put on skates, was the start of my life completely changing.
For anyone that has been living under a rock all these years, what exactly is JSF? and what does it mean to you?
It’s pretty simple Matt… JSF is a Northern California skate crew that has been around since 1999. We started the crew name because Videogroove was making a video most of you all know as “Battle My Crew” or “VG 12” and Dave Paine gave Jared Magers and us bay area guys an opportunity to make a section for the video.
On top of that, we were put in the “Masters Division” because Dave Paine already knew that Nor Cal holds it down super hard so there was no reason for our crew to be put under the “New School Division”. So the friends and I thought of a crew name that would be in the video and we came up with JSF, otherwise known as Juiced Sucka Foos. [...]
Chris is an unknown legend. He has been skating for nearly 18 years and has more passion for this sport and industry then a majority of the rollerbladers skating today.
He is almost 30 years old, with 2 children and works 60 hours a week for Ecko. Chris has the steeze and vocab that most rollerbladers dream of having. If he skated every single day, he would be a house-hold name.
This footage was all filmed in 2010 into the 2011 winter. It was put in a hard-drive and forgotten about, until now. We wanted to help show what Chris was capable of even though he doesn’t get the time to hit the real streets that much.
