jea.

sick

sick

4th

yeah that is sick

that was soo sick!

wa wa we wa!

wow...they have progressed super fast

im so glad these guys found skiing, i find the same thing with skateboarding. I have alot more fun going skiing and then skating afterwards, i get better and do bigger shit so much faster. Props guys, keep it up!!! hit up some summer skiing, its the shit :)

sweet

haffey fucking killing it

omg, in 3 months you learned spins up to 9's, switch 7's and lipslide double kinks... wow. i suck.

hell yeah! way to go.

i dont know about this project. you can see that jumping and rail abilities on rollerblades, which are fairly similar to skiing has allowed them to dial tricks pretty quick. But as far as a relaxed style and stomping abilities, you have to be a good skier, and no online crossover rollerblade project can teach that in three months.

As more skaters become skiers, use of liu kangs will increase exponentially! This is good news!

always knew those dudes would kill in on planks, now if rachard and cameron pick it up its over.

crap haffey is already better than me and i've been at it longer

i skied with this guy at bear one day he rips pretty hard

Man that put a smile on my face!

haha yeah wiechecki

I respect the shit out of bladers, but man I hope our unique sport does not become seen by un-educated on lookers as rollerblading on snow...no poles prime example of bad trend for our sport's face to public

that's so sweet

damn, theyre going huge! that wasnt just kiddy park stuff.

who cares what public thinks. well i guess people making money from skiing but I sure as hell dont care what Johnny Six-Pack thinks of two planking on white rain.

BK they have a lotta style for some 3 months skiers :p

^without a doubt.

I think someone needs to show these guys a couple of grabs and they'll be all set! Either way, sick as hell, hope they keep it up.

wow, chris haffey is my hero

these guys are sick

sick, but someone needs to hook em up with something better than those gaper jackets

ugly... maybe they should learn how to ski first

you have got to be kidding me BK, Haffeys part is alot steezier than alot of pros out there in my opinion, AND HE JUST STARTED THIS YEAR SO STFU He stomped the shit out of all those tricks, his rails skills are wayyy smooth too, better than alot of pros in that sense too

switch 7s already damn
but they need to master actually skiing first

Yeah, all you fools up top complaining about stomping shit and not associating rollerblading with skiing need to stfu. I just watched the videos and that was Bears fucking 55 footer they were hitting. Dude, in the 3 months that I first began skiing, I was no where near that level and I rollerbladed for 8 years before transferring over. Give credit where credit is due!

Rollerblading definately helps with skiing...It isn't needed for being a good skier...So don't go dissing rollerblading cause rollerbladers are sick...Whoever said "ugly...maybe they should learn how to ski first" -DMacD should shut the fuck up because this is their first year skiing...I doubt you were throwing sick cab 7's or greasing quad kinks during your first year skiing...

not only were they doing those tricks, but they were taking a good amount of them pretty far down the landings

I love it! Keep it up dudes

Those are some huge ass trees. And some good jumping and rails.

haffey isssss gooddddd

Shima and Haffey dont have much style but Haffey is better than Shima. But when it comes to rollerblading they kill!!!

BRING BACK LIU KANGS FOR PEACE

Brian Shima has been around forever.

i hope haffey goes pro

haffey's video is fucking hot. As for Shima, yeah, he's lagging a bit behind. Haffey will be big by next year, mark my words!

Whats the song in Shimas edit???

HAFFEY, TELL ARAGON AND FARMER TO GO SKIING.

nothing but props and mad respect for those two......damn

luv their style :P damn respect!
motivates myself sitting with my broken leg infront of the screen...lookin forward!

hahahaha thats awesome

Thats so ridiculous. Those guys are going to be pro in no time.

There's been alot of talk recently about the link between skiing and rollerblading. There's no doubt about it that the two sports can benefit from one another.

Here's your chance to see rollerblading at it's finest with a video from Be-Mag.com (a europian based rollerblading magazine with 10 years of history) featuring rollerblading's top professions and amateurs from all over the world.

Hope to see you there.

Check out the trailers for Be-Mag's new rollerblading video in the link below.

Video Description:

Featuring the world takes you on a trip showing you a true international look on skating with top skaters from around the world. Two main filmers travelled the world to capture the best skating and for this dvd we had three major tours to ensure you the cream of the crop. The Japan tour featured Alex Broskow, Jeff Stockwell and Jeromy Morris matching it up with Japan's finest including Chiaki Ito and many more. Several weeks of unreal skate spots and a cultural clash are captured throughout the dvd. Mike Choley then packed his bags and flew further to Australia to meet up with Richie Eisler to embark on a week long tour of Australia with top Australian skaters. There they found it all: old stars from Australia, the up and coming skaters from Australia, wildlife, parties and all that Australia stands for. Off we went to Europe to embark on a mission to the Roskilde Festival, one of the biggest music festivals to feature skating and show it to the masses. The tour was joined and supported by Mike Murda Johnson, Brian Aragon, Sean Kelso, Stefan Horngacher and Chino who then ripped Europe's finest spots. Of course we additionally worked on content around the world. Richie Eisler filmed both in Australia and Canada for his profile. Dominik Wagner filmed during another tour to Roskilde and throughout Europe for his profile. And we filmed the main content for Be-Mag print giving you the clips from Jeff Stockwell's epic interview in issue 23. If you want a dvd that shows you the best skating in new surroundings with your favourite pros and coming new talent then this is the dvd you need to get. Additionally to the skating part we added special documentary portions as bonus sections where you see a Japan Documentary, a documentary on the Roskilde tour and a special Horseman section.

running time: 1 hour 30 minutes +

countries filmed in:
USA, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Colombia, Denmark, Czech Republic, Poland, Canada

Another great exemple of rollerblader and now skier is Kaya

That was so sick!

sorry not steeze at all. bladin is dope but on rails their hands are way up and stuff which are habbits from blading cuz you dont have the room to ballence so you need to use your hands and shit(if that made any sence at all) some of the jumps where dope though.

and now i just read what he said about him not having style but having a blast so more power to ya!

OH MY GASH thats just nuts

jea.

after watching those trailers i think that rollerblading needs an eric pollard. someone to show that smooth, slow and simple can be alot sicker than super fast/sketch and tech

oh and super sick article and i hope we get more updates next season.

Respect

yo this shit is great, love seein this stuff.

you guys seriously shred.

has there been a skier thats stomped a rail to rail transfer??? (as seen in the trailers?)

I am soooo excited about this story! Their videos are awesome. So much progression in such a short amount of time. Chris was way killin it!

i think allot of people are taking this too much as a competition between skaters and skiers when the point is really just to show how much the two can benefit from each other.

that is so sick chris is so shreddin if i progressed that muc in two monhs id be the talk of the hill

so sick sw 720

Quote: "i think allot of people are taking this too much as a competition between skaters and skiers when the point is really just to show how much the two can benefit from each other."

Agreed. Just because hating on rollerblading is "cool" doesn't mean skiers have to get in on it too. We are just as lame as rollerblading!! But that's why both sports are so great, we just do what's fun and don't give a shit.

Jonkreation, here is Eric Pollard's twin brother who rollerblades, Robert Guerrero. They both have the same type of outlook on their sport (solid style over gnarly, but often a combination of the two), both are deep thinkers, and they're both goofy guys. Every time I watch a Pollard section I think of Rob's style, and every time I watch a section of Rob's I think of Eric's style.

I proudly present to you the work of the guy we fondly call Rob G. Filmed at the coolest place on earth, Lake Owen.

sick skiin...keep pushin urself

thats truly amazing

this shit is fucking wack...

props to these cats for having fun, but THIS JUST FUCKING PROVES that there are skiers out there right now who are pros, who aren't really that good.

what you ask?

these 2 guys decide to fuck around with skiing since the blade. and they are killing it their first year, and that is cause they are dope bladers.

now let us think of those skiers who have rollerblade backgrounds who are killing the park scene. i'm not talking about all pro's, but it all comes back to being able to actualy make turns and understand how a ski works for you, and then skiing park too.

Don't think somebody is SICK!!! untill you see them ski all over the mountains in all conditions.

those vids really made me wnat to go skiing, maybe cuz its super sunny and i am locked inside studying, but i really wnat to go skiing. On another completely void note....i really didn't liek chris haffey's suit....his style wasn't goodd ( whihc what do yuo expect when you just swtich) but the suit made him look like a tool. Thats is my shitty little bit of input! horray!

WTF how did you land a 9? jesus thats amazing

^^^ your last statement is completely ridiculous.

Rollerblading helped with my skiing this year.

So it should be no surprise that pros of rollerblading that have been doin it forever should have no problem with skiing.

That video of robert guerrero is amazing. You should see his section from Feet, which is also amazing. As for hateraid, competitions are judged based off of tricks not on how well you ski all mountain. Stop complaining about their lack of skiing technique and just let people be stoked for the advancement these two made in such a short amount of time. Chris and Shima are not claiming that they're the best, so stop acting like they are!

wtf is this shit, r u ppl watching the same movie i am, they have no style and most of the time they dont even have polls

I'd say the stomp factor was high on that sw 7, also hitting the jump he did a 9 on, his 3 japan and 5 safety were fucken illll, not to mention look how big these guys are going, reckless abandon travelling down the landings, they have more style than me haha

So sick that it is there first year. stop busting on their style. style will come as they ski more and more

damn, im fucking stunned, they are better than me...lol

haha TransonicPanic* your a moron, they have like never skied before, i dunno about you, but I wasn't worried about style or poles when I first learned... and I am not sure about everyone else, but they did tricks that I have never even been able to do before in there first week skiing, and I have been skiing for 12+ years... frigging amazing

those guys are nuts, ive never seen anyone so confident on jumps that big there first year skiing.

damn right, you guys are better at skiing than most of the people here.

^yup mad respect for those guys

i give them respect

haffey slays. skis and blades

yea they are ballers

I'm so stoked those guys love skiing - it just shows what a fucking awesome sport we have. it also shows what ridiculous athletes they are, and how much i suck. sw 7s??? 9s??? Holy shit, nice work guys, I have respect for both you and the sport of blading. keep it up, and enjoy it!

"these 2 guys decide to fuck around with skiing since the blade. and they are killing it their first year, and that is cause they are dope bladers. "

Dude, try their first THREE MONTHS! mofo....that must be the quickest progression ever in history?

that is soo sick.
props to them

wow those sw 7s were better than mine

please dont ever compare that guerrero guy to pollard. not hating, but just because his vid is in slo-mo and he has emllow music doesnt mean his style can be compared to pollard

this makes me pumped!

Haha, you don't even know hemlock. Why can't they be compared? Just because they're using different equipment and different skills doesn't mean they can't be compared. Here's one more section to check out.

Just because you can find similarities between the two sports doesn't make either one better. It's not saying one is progressing or influencing the other, or that one should act like the other. It's just calling out that there are obvious similarities between the two, and because of that it's possible to work off of those and create something new in your respective sport. Again, it's not a 'bad' or a 'good' thing, it just is.

I'm happy that 'extreme' sports are beginning to get past the hype and "your sport is gay" bs. It's sooo much better when we're all having fun. Later, I'm gonna go skate!

haha they are il but noooo style haha
