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 spent a lot of time filming for the recently released One Magazine DVD this past fall.

All of the footage that wasn’t used, wasn’t submitted, or was acquired after the December deadline was put together to make this section entitled “Edit After One”.

Featuring skating from the Kelsos, Anthony Sereni, Nick Danchuk, Murda, Alf and more.

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.

ONE was at the Santa Monica Boys and Girls Club Skatepark on Saturday, April 25th, for the first event of the LA All Day 2009 series.

Chris Mitchell spouted off so many thought-provoking opinions in his 15 Minutes from Issue #12 that we decided to publish the entire text online. Long-time friend Mike Opalek gets Chris on the record about Box Magazine, rollerblading’s true roots, skating in the movies, the phrase “aggressive inline,” and why he thinks 2010 is the year that blading is going to resurface on pop culture’s radar. Find out a little bit about the self-described “robinhood of rollerblading” in this excellent read. — ONE

Writer’s note: This was the best and most controversial interview ever! But because of ONE’s lack of balls and/or lack of funds for a lawyer for the lawsuit that would have happened, Chris and I were forced to go with the regular mess. Sorry, those guys are pussies. — MO

Catch up with shredder, photographer, and distributor Brandon Smith to learn a bit about his thoughts on the current state of blading, and where he sees it all going.

Having traveled the world with Valo and Them Goods, he’s got a pretty wide-open perspective on the whole thing, and given the whole post-Winterclash argument that’s sprung up elsewhere, this is a fascinating, recommended read. — ONE

What kind of obstacles do you like to skate the most in blading?

Anything that’s made of cement. Preferably a buttery ledge or some random, out of the ordinary obstacle.

In chestboarding you can skate flat ground and become a millionaire. Do you think one could be pro in the blade game and never skate handrails or gnarly stunts? Why or why not? How important is the danger factor in getting clips in blading?

That’s probably because they’ve created an image and personality that people are curious enough about to follow. It’s all about being unpredictable so people wonder what’s next.

As far as the danger factor, no it doesn’t matter.

There’s been pros in blading throughout the years that skate “safe” but you still want to see every section they put out. [...]

It’s a new year, now let’s go make some new friends! Each dedicated rollerblader wants to see our sport and culture grow to its fullest potential, and Get Someone to Blade Day is here to remind us that one person can make a difference. But getting a new person on blades is about more than just making a new rollerblader, it’s a chance to share the unique awesomeness that is blade culture with new people; to pass the fun you get from blading on to someone else’s life. It’s a win-win situation all around. So don’t be shy. Keep your old blades in your trunk and when you hit up the park next time, get them on a pair of feet. Drag your non-skating friends in with you to the local skate shop. Bring ‘em to the video premieres and events in your area. This may sound like a no-brainer to some of us, but there’s plenty of you out there being greedy and keeping blading all to yourselves! No fair! You want your pros to earn more cheddar and your favorite company to make even cooler gear? Go the extra mile and do what you can to help make a whole new army of rollers. Let’s consider this post a forum to discuss ways to get your local scene involved and a place to brainstorm ideas. We’re here to help however we can, so let us know what we can do to help you Get Someone to Blade! — ONE

Designer Chris Piascik was super-cool and donated his time to make up some preliminary designs for the Get Someone to Blade Day campaign. (Thanks, Chris!) The graphic you see above is the first GIF we’ll be spreading around, and below we’ve posted some of Chris’ initial concepts. Use them as you see fit! Just give props where props are due. All we wanna do is inspire folks to see how much power is in their hands, and trust us, we’ve got some plans of our own…
