Michael Witzemann - USD PRO - first announced in february 2023.
USD is proud to announce that Michael Witzemann joins the Pro team! “Words can hardly describe the state I’ve been in, or the emotions I’ve felt ever since I found out I would join one of the most legendary Pro Teams in Inline Skating. I keep picturing this 12 year old version of me, putting on skates at the local, hanging out with his friends and learning tricks together.
If I had ever put any goals to my skating, they would have never included a path so high up as I am right now. And even though this is an honor which can’t be matched, I try to keep that energy that has been there since I started. And that energy led me to see so many places in this world, meeting all kinds of personalities along the way and the privilege to call many of those my friends now”.
“Thank you USD for giving me the opportunity to keep pursuing my path, and having fun on this ride. I hope the people that are seeing this video (which was filmed for pretty much exactly a year now) and reading this quick thought journey can take something away from it, and maybe get inspired to follow their journey”. - Michael Witzemann.
“BIG THANK YOU to all the people involved in the project (you know who you are), and I’m excited to start this part of my journey with a video that was entirely filmed in Vienna”. Camera: Klaus Rosenauer, Marius Gaile, Gabriel Hyden, Fabian Gaile, Stephan Mohr & Jon Fromm. Edited by: Michael Witzemann.

Stephane Alfano is the first guest. If you don’t speak french, you might want to turn on the auto generated subs (spoiler alert: it’s bad, shame on you Google) or tune at the end of the video to enjoy the custom homemade game of B.L.A.D.E.

Previously:
Video filmed over the course of the winter 2023 season by Boris Gaisner & Kirill Kharitonov. “We called this video SQUEEZER, because we squeezed everything possible and impossible out of the Voroninskie Gorki skatepark, we squeezed ourselves out in the process, and after skating we squeezed things out of sweat”. - Kirill Kochetkov.
Dylan Hopp has been instrumental in helping my channel grow, and I’m thrilled to announce that he’s now the newest AM for Fifty 50! Although we’ve worked together before, this project feels especially important and exciting. Dylan is a perfectionist, and I’m looking forward to seeing his dedication and passion in action as part of such an iconic rollerblading company with an amazing team.
Law from Balance Distribution has been in the game for a long time and has made significant contributions to the sport’s innovations. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with him and highlight such an exceptional AM for his company. Dylan, thanks for allowing me to collaborate with you on this project, and I’m excited to see your future with 50/50. And Law, thanks for the chance to showcase such a talented AM.
