The face of rollerblading is changing. A select few have shown up and become the new leaders of our sport through their total dedication, ability and style. Their professional attitude and unquestionable skill portrays rollerblading in the light it has longed for. These are the special people who will stand the test of time and continue to push us onwards and upwards.

Erik Bailey is a member of this select band of individuals - a friendly, down to earth character who commits all of his energy to the essential meaning of rolling. Eric is pushing our sport to a new level and we are proud to support him in every move he makes from now on.

Ucon is a company that truly represents skating. Our Acrobats are a diverse group of skaters that have helped the sport grow into what it is today. They have the skills, they have the drive, and above all they have the attitudes that continue to push skating to new levels all over the planet.

Every single one of these guys is proud to be a skater, and we are proud to call them our Acrobats.

Making of the Jon Julio Ad :
check the ad above

For Be-Mags second photoissue (sept. 2006/ Issue 21) we wanted to have something special. Something special for a very special person : Our friend and new teamrider Jon Julio.

Words on the advertising :

The world needs leaders. They are often loud, arrogant men who are feared more than admired. Then there are the few who lead from among the crowd, not from in front of it. These people influence by spreading ideas, proving themselves when the time comes, and respecting their peers.

These are the special people, the ones who stand the test of time, and the trends that come and go. For skaters, Jon Julio is that leader. A calm, friendly demeanor; unparalleled dedication, and a hunger to try new things has made Jon more than a talented skater, more than an owner, and more than a star.
Welcome Jon.

You can check a video, a making of the Ad, Filmed and edited by Jon Julio here.

Don’t miss the Ucon team section, you’ll find Interviews and Videos there.

The Ucon catalogue is now online, check all their products in a nice flash interface, drag’n drop the pages like on a real book ;)

Featuring Jochen Smuda, Jon Julio, Jona Messerli, Cedric Eisenring and Anne Keller as fashion models !
