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. [...]

Vert skating has never been an American thing, barring Mr. Edwards’ wickedness circa 1990-1994. European and Australian skaters soon dominated this field in the mid- to late ’90s.

Their different styles and tricks were a refreshing change for the skate industry. One of these men was Denmark’s René Hulgreen. René was a lot different from most vert skaters — he learned to skate ramps on quad skates or “roller skates,” as most of you might know them.

Also, he had a distinct appearance. With his long red hair, and almost always a beer in hand, he was a straight up Nordic viking! The inventor of the viking flip, an awkward mctwist, sort of a side-flip 540, was different, amazing and refreshing.

René started skating back in 1988, and his career took him around the world, but after years of touring and traveling he has settled back in his home country and made his second favorite pastime — drinking beer — his second career. At age 39 he is a proud brewmeister and father. “Qua vos vado illic mos usquequaque exsisto beer.” It’s Latin… look it up!

Winterclash / another point of view, by Dirk Oelman:

During the “winterlash 2010″ in Berlin, I got my new Canon EOS 7D, so I started filming randomly beside my work there. Finaly i got some nice shoots and I decided to make a quick edit. Hope you enjoy it!

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.

In his issue #14 interview, Chris Farmer opened up to ONE like we were Barbara Walters. He told us about playing in his brother’s band, realizing skating was a job, and why he dicks around at contests. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

For an in-depth look at what’s going on inside the mind of one of blading’s most prolific innovators, be sure to check this out.

Long-time German super shredder Daniel Prell finally answered the questions we sent him like a month ago now that he’s been released from the hospital.

Turns out this guy knows how to have a little bit too much of a good time, and what happened in Barcelona didn’t exactly stay in Barcelona. Glad to hear you’re better man! Anyway, here’s some insight and imagery to familiarize you with this staple of the European skate scene.

Dean, getting right down to biz, why don’t we start off with you telling the readers a little something about yourself; who is Dean Coward?

I’m a 17 year old blader from Orange County California (the home of Ryan Sheckler), who is attending Saddleback College and skating every chance that I can.

Currently, the entire rollerblading industry thinks that you are a raging alcoholic. Your “drunk edits” have given you quite the bad rep. I actually was at a skatepark the other day and saw a fourth grader drink an entire bottle of vodka then proceed to do a miszou.

When I asked him what was causing such bad behavior, all he could say was “Dean Coward rules!” Why don’t we clear the air, you’re not actually drunk in your drunk edits are you? ;)

Ha,ha, i’m glad you asked this question. Drunk edits came about when I started filming skating on my cheap digital camera at the skatepark one day. Adam Brierley told me to make an edit from the footage and call it “Drunk Edit,” for no apparent reason. As time went by I started making more edits, the skating got more silly, as well as the songs I used for them. Now it’s a standard to do funny tricks (pencil grinds, stair glides, etc.) in the drunk edits.

No one is drunk in drunk edits, that’s just the name we chose for them because it goes with the theme of the type of blading going on in them. For some reason, some people take these edits seriously when it’s pretty obvious we’re just doing silly skating and having a good time. But expect big things in the future of Drunk Edits… [...]

David Allen Paine is 38 years old and living the dream… no, seriously, he is! He quit a very stable, decent-paying job — probably with a union — one that your parents told you to get after college, where after your 40 years of services you’re on Easy Street.

But he wanted more out of life and wasn’t going to settle just for a decent job. Dave had dreams and he made them come true.

At a young age he always wanted to skate and film. Growing up in the Philadelphia area is where he cut his teeth, and in the early ’90s, like most of you now, found that filming could be just as gratifying as skating. Now he’s been rolling and filming for 17 years.

He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Irene, and works for the action sports TV channel Fuel.
