Fill us in on what you have been up to since you declared your retirement from professional rollerblading in Daily Bread some years ago?
So, roughly, I was in a band, I went to college, and now I’m in graduate school getting a PhD in Philosophy. That’s the short story. The longer version: I think I was already taking classes at the Santa Rosa Junior College when I did that Daily Bread interview. When I decided to stop skating professionally I was already pretty excited about studying philosophy in college.
I dropped out of high school to be able to travel as much as I needed to, but I was a decent student and I actually really liked studying itself. So when I was traveling a lot I read tons of books. I eventually became very interested in philosophy and decided that I would go to college to study it.
I had become somewhat bored with the life of professional rollerblading (not with rollerblading itself), and I was getting to a point where I needed to find something else to do with my life. I thought seriously about starting a company under Peld, since it was practically already a brand, but I realized that I wasn’t a business person.

Nick Riggle – FOCUSED – 2000 Salomon Team Video
Nick Riggle played an integral role in pioneering toe-rolls & heel-rolls, and pushing an unconventional style of skating, which he and fellow pioneers referred to as “mushroom blading.”
Today, mushroom blading exists in skaters like Charles Dunkle, Rory Melehan, Micah Yeager, the SOL dudes from Canada, Dustin Latimer and any skater that doesn’t limit his skating to traditional ledge or rail grinds.

using a Salomon Vinny Minton 2 Boot.
Me and my mate were bored as poo one day when it was raining so we decided to make these…
Basically they are salomon skates with the top of the boot cut off, the cuff v cut and cut into the xsjado cuff shape, a tongue put on the buckle, a like velcro/metal thingy off sum crappy sk8s trapped underneath the frame for the instep thingy and sum random elastic for the toe strap.
this started off as just a joke, but now im sk8in em instead of my TRS alphas bcos theyre so good.
More details and photos in this topic. Thanks Hobo !

Salomon talks only about Vinny Minton on the website (well we heard that Chaz Sands is skating for Razor now (check this post)…
Street is above all a question of style when it comes to your tricks and your skates. Our pro-rider, Vinny Minton has worked closely with us to develop skates that reflect their personality, allowing skaters to express their own style too during sessions.
by Filip “Casper” Lederleitner
Although the widebody provides amazing soul space, ideal for stable switch-ups and cess slides, every single roller notices weak ability to press your foot to the right position for royale and torque tricks. That’s why I came up with this customization.
It seems that Chaz Sands is rolling for Razor now, since Salomon is about to drop the whole team like Rollerblade did some monthes ago
As you may already know Salomon is no more distributed in USA.
