The full movie Blade Squad is now on Youtube, thanks to Mike Mcfly. He had to cut some audio part (just music, no dialogs were removed) because copyright claims would otherwise remove the video entirely.
The Blade Squad is an experimental police chaser unit that consists of mainly cops who have screwed up and are practically off the force, who patrol the city on roller blades and have jet packs that give them speed. Presently, the department is trying to decide if whether or not they are worth keeping on. They are going after street punk who pulls flawless robberies. And what they don’t know is that the man’s brother was arrested by them and tried to runaway and was killed in the process, he blames and is planning to go after them. Summary by rcs0411@yahoo.com
Quoting Mike Mcfly (Youtube Channel):
Starring Corin Neme (Parker Lewis can’t loose), this high budget TV movie was intended to launch a TV series. What’s interesting to note: This appears to be either an extensive rewrite of the Prayer of the Rollerboys script or maybe an Ill-fated sequel. There is a character credited as “Miltie” (Corey Haim’s younger brother in that movie) and several drug dealers are credited as “mist dealers” (the fictional drug from Prayer of the Rollerboys). Writer W. Peter Iliff worked on both projects (“Blade Squad” & “Prayer of the Rollerboys”).
Previously: ‘Rollerblade… The Team, The Skate, The Sport’ 1988 point of sale VHS (first ever in-line video). Mike McFly digitized the VHS! Thanks a lot!

Let’s go on a trip! Get your crew together, pack your bags, charge all the devices, and jump in the van. Plan or no plan, just go with the flow. Traveling with friends means you’re bound to have a great time and create great memories that last forever. Some for sharing, and some best left for those in the moment.
On this trip we hit the Costa Brava in Spain with some of our favorite ladies: Sofi Carerras, Ramata Diallo, Anna Royo, and Javi Garrido. All geared up with upgraded skate setups, this awesome crew is ready for sunny days of inline skating and fun at the Balearic Sea. The ladies enjoyed some great spots during their trip and made awesome memories, some of which they shared on their socials. Video shot by Greg Mirzoyan.
Javiera Garrido skating clips at 1:30.

For french speaking users, here are some words written by Freddy White:
Messieurs dames, Mixture, par Martin Demay - Rasca Prod (2003). « A une époque désormais lointaine où le patin, en France et à peu près partout ailleurs, s’articulait en crews restreints à des zones précises et souvent limitées, de codes postaux en indicatifs téléphoniques, le Rasca a promu l’idée d’un collectif basé sur des affinités communes plutôt que géographiques, et d’amitiés renforcées par les voyages en bande et les heures passées ensemble dans un van fumant. En bref, d’un patin vécu ensemble et partout.
Avec Mixture, sortie en 2003, Martin Demay en apporte la parfaite illustration, avec des images filmées dans la France entière, de Lille et Dunkerque jusqu’à Nice et Montpellier, en passant par Châlon, Annecy et Lyon et parfois même, des contrées étrangères comme Lausanne et Paris. A l’écran, on retrouve un très gros profile de Geoffrey Lopes, sans doute les meilleures images de Bellini sur cassettes Mini DV, sans parler de chouchous de la Roulette comme Patoche et Casper, ni oublier le traître parisien Mathieu Heinemann, anguille réputée. Le FISE et son ESA, L’Urban Chaos de la Défense et le disaster de Jochen Smuda sur la boîte électrique à Bercy, en bref tout le meilleur de l’année 2002 pour un visionnage des plus appréciables !
Les copains et l’aventure, les voyages et les frontières géographiques explosées, par dessus tout la roulette comme vecteur de rencontres et de partage… Il suffit d’un rapide coup d’oeil dans le rétro de ces vingt dernières années pour réaliser le rôle essentiel qu’ont joué les Rasca sur ma conception du patin, et leur influence ultérieure sur des projets comme Frenchy Fries et sans doute la Roulette aujourd’hui. Pour Mixture, comme pour tout le reste : merci Martin, merci les Rasca ! PS : Antsa, tu manques copain ». - Freddy White.

Nouvelle Ligne NL Contest - Street PRO Results
I’ve been a very active skater this year and rightly so, given the warm weather and the fact that I had some catching up to do after being forced to take it easy for a little while when I broke my elbow in November, just before my 40th birthday.
After releasing a compilation of 68 clips shot during 2021 crammed into 5 minutes, I found myself with a reasonable amount of decent 2022 footage pretty quickly so here is precisely 3 months worth, shot between January 3rd and April 3rd and beat-matched for 4 minutes. I’ve always wanted to pair the band Tool with skating but so far this remix of A Perfect Circle’s “The Outsider” is the closest I’ve come, though fans of the album Lateralus may recognize the opening sound effect. We’ll see who will be the first to pick up on the music used over the closing logo.
Featuring footage of inline and quad tricks in the streets and skateparks, including quite a bit at my local in Prahran, it wasn’t until I was writing this caption that I went through and counted the clips and, through sheer coincidence, this video has exactly 40. - Chris Pullar.
Thanks to the filmers; Josh, Callum, SK, Garry, Andy, Zac, Casey, Martin, Brad, Keeks and Khrys, and to Bayside Blades skate shop for supporting the Australian scene for the last 19 years and hooking me up for over a decade. Photo.
