Rollerblading has transformed over the years, and few have navigated its Evolution like Julian Bah. Born and raised in Atlanta, Julian rose to the top as a professional skater, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the sport while staying true to his unique style.
“EVOLUTION” explores how skating has grown, the challenges that have come with it, and how Julian has redefined himself through each shift—both on and off the blades. This documentary captures the resilience, creativity, and adaptability that keeps Julian moving forward.
Thanks to Chris Smith for providing some of the footage you see in the final film. I’d also like to thank Richard Williams, Chilly-O, and T.K. Art for providing their time for interviewing with us. As well as Village Skatepark for providing a space for this to come to fruition. Shot on Blackmagic Ursa 12k Canon CN-E 18-80 Rokinon 8mm Edited and Color Graded In Davinci Resolve by Brandersen.
Captured, cut, and produced by Brian Freeman, this episode dives into Julian Bah’s impact on the skate community, his influence in his hometown of Atlanta, and the bridges he’s built through skating.

“This is a love letter to my skate community. Conceptualized in late July of 2024, Equilibrium is an Atlanta based edit that features much of the vibrant skating scene that continues to thrive well out of the pandemic”.
“Created by Richard Williams, SK8TL is a group that was born from the days of social distancing, and places a heavy distinction on celebrating the similarities & differences alike that are found within inline and quad skating. Please enjoy this passion project, and share to expand our city’s outreach as a magnet for wheelie-feet. Thanks to the sponsors of this project, and looking forward to a second installation for 2025”. - Richard Williams.
The Bladewave Crew’s first full length! After taking a 5 year hiatus of filming and just part time blading, I have come back with a full length. With Captains of Concrete (a skate competition in Atlanta) coming up before we knew it, the crew decided to put together something short and quick to premiere after the event. In less than 10 sessions this is what we captured. This is CRUNCHTIME! - Patrick Andersen.
