Now in its second year, the ONE Skater of the Year award was created to allow the global population of rollerbladers the chance to decide which individual best represents our community. After months of nominations, followed by voting on the Top 10 finalists with over 10,000 votes cast, New Jersey’s John Bolino emerged as the decisive winner.

A young blader who has gone from relative unknown to worldwide favorite in only a few short years, John represents the future potential of rollerblading and rollerbladers. So be proud. This is your Second Annual ONE Skater of the Year. You nominated. You voted. We counted. And now John Bolino speaks. – ONE

As featured in ONE Issue #17.

Stefan Brandow is one of those rollerbladers who gives you a lot of hope for the future of our sport. Stefan simply “gets it.” He is ahead of the curve in the blading community.

When he goes out and films for his video parts, or online edits for sponsors, his understanding of progression shines through, a mixture of both raw talent and an impeccable eye for creative detail. He does unique maneuvers because doing things that are unique and question the current state of our sport is something that flows naturally through his rollerblading thought process.

Stefan embodies the creative and energetic aspect from the serious side of blading, but embraces it with an ease and grace that is rare amongst rollerbladers his age. He is doing everything right and with a smile on his face. To someone like him, the pressure of progression is no match for the natural eye he posses for incredible eye-pleasing skating.

On Saturday, November 5th, I rushed out of my house to meet up with Print Brigade co-owner Chris Piascik after sleeping through my alarm and waking up when we had planned to be on the road. We packed up our shirts and began the three-hour drive from Connecticut to Rye, New Hampshire for the 2010 WRS Finals.

I sat in the car thinking my rough start was surely a sign of things to come and tried to prepare myself for a very long day. Thanks to Chris’s lead foot we managed to make great time and arrived just minutes before ONE photographer Drew Amato and the rest of the CT crew. [...]

Andrew, since this time I’m doing an interview with you as opposed to asking you to shoot photos for somebody else’s deal, let’s start with “Killin’ It.” Your Dvd has been out for a little over six months now; what have some of the reactions been? How is it selling?

I sold all the books a couple of months ago and so far people have been digging it! I heard there is a “Killin’ It” review in the new issue of ONE, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll make another video in the future for sure though.

Now, you’re more into filming than photography, granted you have been making online edits for some time, but what made you want to make a full-on skate Dvd?

Wasn’t feeling a lot of the online shit being posted and the Alien Workshop video “Mind Field” really got me inspired to make something with a photo/video collaboration. [...]

Anthony Gallegos: Last of the Left Overs, Chosen Few Edit

Anthony Gallegos just finished his Profile Sunday September 12. Anthony has filmed for his Profile for about 16 months.

Anthony Gallegos can skate anything and is on a unique level apart from anyone else.

The best thing about Anthony is that you won’t find a more humble and cool person who is down to skate with anyone anytime. His Full Length Feature Profile will be out before the end of the month.

Anthony Gallegos: Interview by Jonathan Labez

I met Anthony at my first Monday night skate in Long Beach, a week before Christmas 2008. My first impressions of him were that he was a nice, approachable, all-smiles guy with ridiculous tricks.

A year and a half later he’s still that same person, with an ever-growing trick vocabulary and an uncanny ability to skate virtually any obstacle put in front of him. His style has been described as smooth, ninja, fearless, unexpected, gangster, creative, progressive and crazy.

He amazes me every session, and what’s more surprising is how humble he is. He encourages everyone around him to skate their best and above all else, have fun. It shows in his skating, and anyone who skates with him can clearly see how much he revels in strapping into his boots.

Here’s some insight into my friend, Anthony Gallegos.
- Jonathan Labez

First, the basics. Tell the readers about yourself, on and off skates.

My name is Anthony Gallegos, I’m 23 years old, from Bellflower, CA and I’ve been skating for about 13 years. I love skating, wine, music, good food, books, anime, video games, movies, etc.

Much of my time is spent in the greater LA and Long beach area, either skating or working. Most people I meet find my ethnicity a mystery being that I look white and my last name is Gallegos, but I am Guatemalan and Salvadorian.

My long-standing nickname which most people know me as is “Wiener, and I will probably have to take that nickname to the grave. I have an obsession with one day skating and living in Korea, and I love to travel when I get the chance, but it’s not often because I rarely have a destination or funds. [...]

ONE @ 2010 SDSF Open

Here’s the SDSF Open weekend in about two and a half minutes.

From the “Game Theory” premiere, to the comp, to some relaxing at the after-gathering, here’s a glimpse into what we experienced as showed off the new Skater of the Year issue and hung out with all the blader-types that came to San Diego.

Great tricks, good times, lots of sun. Edit here and beneath the break. — ONE.

True Spin Edit

Filmed by Michael Cannavo and Steve Henry (via).

ONE #17 is gonna pack more pages, and more of the most def blading you can find anywhere, than ever before.

Bolino, Sizemore, Paul John, BCSD X, Matty Schrock, Jon Robinson, and what could be our most intense PICKS gallery yet.

We can’t wait for this ONE to drop. Look for it in shops and on newsstands in September.

Okay, Rob, let’s get this started. What have you been up to these last few months?

Working mad overtime. The air conditioning business in South Texas is almost more than any of the local companies can handle.

Money is good, so I can’t really complain. I’ve been trying to blade when I can throughout the week. Bought my ticket for SDSF Open. Juiced on seeing people I haven’t seen in years.

Being 28 and paying rent takes somewhat of a toll, but I blade hard for the love. Just hope to inspire the younger cats to get in as deep as myself. [..]

I went on a gut feeling that this year the Montreal Classic would fucking rock. The last two years were epic and I wouldn’t expect any less in 2010. The Classic brings good vibes, good times, and amazing people, all mashed up into one venue.

To me, the contest has always been the type of event where once-acquaintances become long-term, close friends.

After things came together with a last minute decision, we made the road trip from NYC to Montreal, Canada, safe and sound. We checked into a sweet hotel in the heart of the city and got some rest. At sundown, we then cruised over to Southparc Skate Park to be greeted with a free session and BBQ hosted by Danny Laroche, and Guillaume Roy of Lylac Skate Shop. Fast-forward to the free session.

I immediately noticed raw talent, new faces, and even some old friends as well. It seemed as though the competition hype was focused into a chill vibe. Everyone was skating on such a tight level, and not necessarily to compete with each other. It felt like a session with close friends.

This kicked the trip off with some positive energy and set a mood for the entire weekend. Here’s what the contest itself looked like, through the lens of Sam DeAngelis.
