Winterclash is back. After three years without real-life hugs, screams, incredible riding, tears of joy and the overall typical Winterclash atmosphere - we did it again. We have no words. You travelled from 54 different nationalities to make this another never-ever-forget-experience. Thank you for keeping this event and its spirit alive for 18 years already.

ラトビアのNils。イスラエルのBobi。 インラインスケートやってなかったら出会う事もなかったやろうし、3人ともスケートに全力で向き合ってるからこうやって一緒に滑れたのだと思うと奇跡やなって思いました。 インラインスケートやり続けてる人生で良かった！ Rough Google Translation: Nils Jansons from Latvia, Robert Spassov from Israel. If I hadn’t done inline skating, I wouldn’t have met, and I thought it was a miracle to think that all three of us were skating together because they were all facing skating. I’m glad I’ve been doing inline skating! - Takeshi Yasutoko.

“This is by far the biggest drop I ever took off a rail”. - Connor O’Brien.

Card Description: Connor O’Brien, 19 years old, San Diego California, 7 years of skating.

Without wheels: I would probably be: a) one of those surfers bros who constantly conforms to be cool, b) More inclined to pursue my acting career on the hit show “Dawson’s Creek”, or c) A ladies’ man.

Looking forward: The Remz Tour, a summer to chill and skate with my friends, and eventually graduating college.

Been staring at this beast for a while since they built it, wanting to get this picture. Stars finally aligned yesterday and got a chance to go shoot it. Thanks Jeremy Townsend for snapping this for me, and Erik Buckner Holmquist for wrangling all the kids while we trying to get it haha. - Jake Dotson (via).
