Blader Digest: Mr. Rogers Hates You

It’s good to be back. Thanks again to my buddy, Bruce Bales, for covering for me last week. I appreciated the break. Anyway, let’s start off with something I fully agree with: Good. Enough with that, let’s get preachy. Now here’s something we hope you really like… Selling Skating Our society is now one where […]


Blader Digest: Still Hungover

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 […]


Blader Digest: Kill Yourself

A lot of shit went down this week, so there’s no point in delaying the inevitable. Let’s start with my favorite thing: bitchers (not to be confused with bitches). You know where this specific comment hailed from, and there have been thousands—millions maybe—like it before it. And, yes, oh yes, yes, yes… there’s the collective […]


Blader Digest: WRS vs. the World

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 […]


Blader Digest: Don’t Read This

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 […]


Blader Digest: Return of the Shredi

I’m very, very lost right now. I’m in a dark, scary place lit only by a small crack in the basic foundation of rollerblading, which we all know began in a galaxy far, far away. It’s as if I heard the sound of millions of voices being silenced at once. Like, something I thought was […]


Chris Haffey and the Number 222 (Pt. 1)

I believe in what Chris is doing for our sport—being on the front lines, traveling the world, and opening up people’s eyes to what we do. If you have ever had the chance to see him skate in person, you can see something else is there. That something has taken Chris all over the world […]


Chris Haffey and the Number 222 (Pt. 2)

Since Chris sent us a lot of pictures, we felt that it would be best if we broke it up into two  posts. So here is the second half… From golfing, to his love for beer, this is how Chris spends his time away from his blades…


Blader Digest: Some Menial Observations

There are certain things I know I will never understand. Among them are women, quantum physics, the commercial draw of Jersey Shore, and the supposed shared consciousness that is rollerblading-at-large. So, in hopes to clear some of those things off my list before I die, I’ll pose this question: What the hell is our Problem? […]


Blader Digest: Image is Everything

As I write this I’m blasted on cold medication, pain killers, and a slight bit of Jameson. If none of this makes any sense, contact our management for a full refund. Or blow me. I’m sorry. That last bit was a bit much. It’s not me, it’s the drugs. This Dude is 36. That is […]
