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.
Save the Skatepark! The only silver lining in the wake of the I-85 bridge fire collapse is the unveiling of a clandestine skatepark.
The secret is out and Georgia state officials have indefinitely shutdown the park. As early as next week, the agency is willing to sit down with the community to discuss the permitting process.
Scott Higley (a spokesperson for GDOT) has stated that nothing is off the table at this point. If we could get enough supporters then the state officials may agree to save the park. Go sign the petition!

Brad Oz Cinema proudly presents Justis Pope. “Justis skating is stylish, modern, and inspiration. His story is nothing short of just that. I meet Justis in 2006 in Mount Pleasant, MI. I was attending college, and he was in High School. Justis has always had an incredible trick selection paired with style and control - for a 16 year old skater, he could jaw drop anyone that had a sense of what skating is”.
“After college, I moved around the state and then to Portland, Oregon and back. During the pandemic, Justis and I linked back up to skate and film a few creative projects that the skate world seemed to enjoy. With this project, we knew we wanted to do something different. Something that transcends skating. That is an showcase of character as much as it is talent. This project opens with a poem, written by Justis. We take you on a journey to where it all started — a curb at his childhood trailer park.” - Brad Oz.
