With a skate scene like the one we have in Phoenix, AZ, and the incomparable climate, it’s no surprise that week after week we are constantly playing host to a varied assortment of visitors.

This past week the honored guests were The Kelso Brothers, Steve “Alf” Iacono, ONE Cover Boy: Billy O’Neill, and the rollerblader you would most love to bring home to your mother, Sean Cullen.

Since 90% of the time when someone is visiting Phoenix they’re sleeping on Jon Jenkin’s floor space, I figured I would sit down with Baby Jenkins (X Rated) and find out what he and the East Coast visitors were up to all those late night nights during their stay… [...]

Dozens of car loads of rollerbladers headed up to Woodward West for the first contest of the 2010 Amateur Inline League season.

The stage was set, and kids antsy and anxious after a long winter were poised to get their blade on. And blade they did.

Rollerbladers came from as far away as Utah, Brazil, and Venezuala, and of course all over California, for the chance to compete in the AIL and skate the highly-regarded Hangar 18 park at Woodward West. Snow fell outside as the action inside began to heat up. [...]

All right, ONE #14 (V4N2) is online now, but we’re mixing things up a bit.

Instead of simply providing the download link to the PDF, we’re trying out the online publication browser Issuu.

We think you’ll like the faster, easier viewing experience when re-reading Chris Farmer’s interview, or catching up with Ross Kuhn, or wrapping your mind around Dave Paine’s 15 Minutes one more time.

Better yet, pass it along to anyone or post it anywhere you want to make a statement about blading. After all, that’s what it’s all about. #14 viewer embedded beneath the break, or click a link to get started.

You are one of the toughest critics of style in our industry, and for good reasons; what do you think led to the way that blading as a whole has changed from the FP days to how we know it today?

Skating changes, like anything else that progresses or is new. Skating has changed due to many things over the years… it’s hard to pinpoint, but in my head, as I’m thinking about it, the word ‘trends’ keeps comming to mind. Tricks that are in, fashions, prominent pros; all things that have changed in skating.

I guess if you’re trying to compare how the “FP Days” were compared to how skating is today, it’s the attitude that FP brought and the way we portrayed skating and the way we felt we should skate. Maybe it’s because FP was in the spotlight and our general delivery of skating was very raw, uncut, hard.

So to me I feel like I related these things to skating more-so then, than I do now. The more personality, and origionality you have as an individual, the more it’s going to rub off in your skating. It’s not that we don’t have that with pros nowadays, I just think with FP being at the forfront at the time, and with that being the first representation of rollerblading being portrayed like that, that maybe it felt different? But that wasn’t really the first, ’cause weren’t Brian Smith, Arlo and Brooke pulling knives, wearing halos, and baking cookies and all that?

Scott Moffat met up with ONE at the 2009 LA All Day series finals not only to shoot photos, but to blade in the Advanced division.

Long story short: he won, and is no longer allowed to skate Advanced… so next year check him out in the Elite Division. But we’re digressing.

Here’s a look at the action Scott captured last weekend in Santa Monica. If you weren’t there you missed some top-notch blading.
