blade or die

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I had a dream today: spend a day off of work and skate the city. I lived that dream. That’s why this thing is late. Deal with it. Yo, NY-fucking-C! Our homies over at iRollNY are putting together an edit contest exclusively for NYC skaters. We’re proud […]

It’s been a week. It might have felt short or long, but it was the same length as every one before it. I promise you no one is messing with the space-time continuum just to make you feel dumb. If you did feel like you had a long week, or the one you’re just starting […]

Hopefully your hangovers—or binges—have subsided and you’re ready to get back to whatever you need to do: school, work, or doing some shit you don’t want your mothers to know about. Yes, kids, this is 2011. We’re even further into the future than ever before. Still, sadly, I report this one glaring fact of our […]

2010 was pegged to be the year rollerblading made its comeback. Depending on what you were hoping for, the year was unquestionably a great one for everyone in skating. If your year on blades wasn’t a quality one–barring serious injury or dismemberment–I don’t feel bad for you. What you put into skating is what is […]

Sorry to those of you that were actually looking for a column last week. Unfortunately for you, but fortunate for me, we had some really nice weather here in the Bay area. So instead of watching skating, I spent all weekend actually doing it. It’s a blessed benefit of living in California, but it’s also […]

Whew. That was a fun fucking week. Really, awesome. But how was your week? … Yeah, I know. That Wikileaks thing is getting intense. … No, I didn’t change my Facebook profile picture into a cartoon character. I try not to openly engage in slacktivism. … What’s the point of “raising awareness” if people won’t […]

I’ve been spending too much time writing lately. I’m 40,000 words into a 50,000-word novel that’s due by the end of the month. So, since I’m  hanging out with voices in my head, a good friend of mine, Bruce Bales, has decided to help a brother out and throw down some words. God bless him […]

I n case you didn’t know, this last Saturday ended the 2010 World Rolling Series. It was points and power down to the wire, so let’s take a little gander at the fastest-growing competitive circuit rollerblading has to offer. World Rolling Series Unlike other sports, like say baseball, when our competitions use the words “world” and […]

God, it was just another one of those weeks. It was horrible. There’s no point to reading anything I have to say. It’s all pointless—I have absolutely no idea what happened in blading on the internet this week. Honestly, I didn’t see shit. You might as well move on. Really, go check out WEB ROLL […]
