This all street contest has been around 23 years running. Its held in Chicago and it’s always been known for being gnarly. It’s almost a honor to skate in that contest even though anyone can enter. So many incredible tricks have gone down over the 2 decades by some of the most talented. They made $8000 this year to pay winners by doing raffles and donation stuff plus sponsors which is awesome.

At least thats how I feel about it cause rollerblading isn’t a very lucrative sport so thats impressive to achieve. Beyond the point! haha I again didn’t plan on making a edit so maybe next time I will just commit and try to do more filming. It was my 4th day walking since my surgery so Im still getting used to moving, standing and most definitely walking. If you’re reading this and one of the many people who came up and showed love I really appreciate the support cause it made me feel great and almost validated my trauma in ways.

Besides the point haha love goes out to all the skaters out there who still show up to these. It’s truly a really badass thing when you sit back and think about it (maybe blazed) Windy City Riot is a hard contest to skate in and everyone wants a piece of the action. Shit can get wild out there. So yeah all the people who put on Windy City Riot are awesome and I pat them all on the back because just like the intro to this edit. “I dont have any money” lol So I am almost done with this rant…or am I? not sure yet. let me think. umm…nah I think thats about it. Good times and I truly hope to see everyone there next year. Peace…or is it?… - Hawke Trackler.

This edit features skating from 2021 Thursday night sessions in Chicago. The Midwest has been a place that continues to push me in skating, one of the sources is the amount of talented and diverse skaters that exist in this area. - Yandriel Silverio.

Paul John new Pro wheels available now! This wheel is 57/88 perfect for street and a good size to ride flat. Paul John, a resident of Chicago, has been with Gawds since day one! His wild style in the streets has him standing out for sure. If you catch PJ at a contest, you can see him in his ultimate form. Always full throttle. Amazing to see, with his lace or get laced attitude.
