You may remember the Rollerblade video Bombing down a salt mine in Poland featuring Greg Mirzoyan & Benjamin Brillante.

The video got viral on Reddit and reached one million views, which is without a doubt the most viewed blading video on Vimeo.

Rollerblade released a free IOS app for Iphone & Ipad.
“Bomb down the salt mine as far as you can on your Rollerblade Inline Skates”.

RB riders Timmy v. Rixtel and Guillaume Le Gentil were able to have a private rail session on the branded RB rail thursday morning before Winterclash officially opened. They got 30 minutes to do some tricks on the rail.

Team Rollerblade made a visit to one of the oldest cities in Poland.

We stopped by the Polish Rollerblade headquarters which was hosting a local contest outside of Poznan. This city had some of the best street spots, including a huge quarter-pipe at Malta lake.

One of the most stylish skaters in the world, it’s always great to see Guillaume le Gentil skating anything.

Guillaume makes all tricks look so easy and stylish while skating fast. This year he had to skate Winterclash as a pro because of his 2nd place finish at the Winterclash 2011.

Guillaume is just getting started, look for this French powerhouse to dominate the sport in the future.
