Long years as a rollerblader have given Tracy White a respect for the memorabilia surrounding the sport, and he finally let ONE and a select ground of AZ rollers into his secret ‘Blade Museum’ to check out his private stash.

Primarily focusing on projects in which he’d participated like Bauer and 4Dub, there were plenty of other established classics amongst the collection. We snapped these pics to let you get a taste for yourselves.

ONE #14 hits the warehouse in a few days with feature coverage of Minnesota’s Chris Farmer.

The subject of praise and ridicule since he first burst on the scene, Chris has grown beyond the debate to discover his own voice and personality. And it’s all on display here.

From family life, to his musical background, skate evolution and beyond, love him or leave him, you’ll want to read this interview and see these photos.

Shot entirely in the land of 10,000 lakes, Chris worked with fellow MN native John Haynes to get his skating captured just the way he wanted it. And now it’s almost here.

First and foremost, you have many a title: cinematographer, entrepreneur, alleged baby-eater and skater, you are what some may call, a jack-of-all-trades. What the people want to know is: who is the real Adam Johnson?

Well, if you ask my real close friends, the ones I’ve been around 15 plus years, they will all tell you I’m an asshole. You ask my mom and she will tell you I am the nicest kid in the world. Ask a random skater from the late ’90s and they will tell you I’m an alcoholic. Ask a new school grom and they probably won’t be able to tell you who I am because they don’t own “KFC3.” If you ask me though, I would tell you I am just a real-ass dude who tells it how it is…

What made you pick up your first camera?

I broke my elbow when my friend checked me hockey-style into the grass. Landed on it wrong and I dislocated and fractured it. The only way to get people to pick me up that summer to go session was to film. [...]

Haynes sent in a new batch of photos, among which there were two angles of the same trick from Brett Dasovic.

Not sure if we’d have a chance to print either of the shots, we set John out to write about them.

As it turns out, there was more to the story than we anticipated, including some “photo assistance” from Jeph Howard. Find yourself thinking about what photos can look like from different angles?

We talk a lot about where skating is going, the uncertainty of the future of our industry seems to be perpetually on the minds of skaters everywhere. Recently, I started to think about my personal past with skating.

I grew up in a small town in central Minnesota called Glenwood. Glenwood is about two hours north west of Minneapolis, where I live now. Skating in Minneapolis is unlike anywhere else I have ever been. Seasoned pros like Chris Farmer and Jeph Howard regularly skate with people who have only been skating a short time, and everyone gets along.

Everyone is so friendly, they would allow a kid from a small farm and lake town in an unheard of part of the state to crash on their floors, which I did frequently while in high school. Their hospitality influenced my skating and helped me become a photographer.

I am still friends with all those people I met in my 16th year, and as they influenced me, I like to think that I gave them a little taste of Greater Minnesota. These photos were taken in Glenwood or the surrounding area over a span of eight years, and with any retrospective you get to see progression.

Progression of my friends as skaters and progression of my photographic talent. This is what happens when you take the city kids out of the city.
