LISTEN TO BLACK SABBATH
Popular music of the late sixties was dominated by flower power, folk music, and hippie culture.

FASHION ODISSEA: #2 ZIP HOODED.
Zip hooded will keep you warm in this autumn.
If you don’t want to look like a billboards with legs with the wrong message in the wrong place like Bruce Willis in Die Hard you probably want to go for a sober plain color hooded.
American Apparel have them in like 20 colors for something near 50€
In the Blading industry only UCON (again) offer a choice.
Just Black and Aqua, but for the same price if you are a fan of this two color you can support yourself actually.
BLADER CULTURE: TRAVEL.
Travel is part of the American culture since day one.
Is freedom, is independence and is adventure, that’s why they can drive at 16.
American photography mostly start with landscapes and travel, from Ansel Adams and Walker Evans, going through THE AMERICANS of Robert Frank (CH) wich have an intro by Kerouac who writed “on the road” to the most contemporary Alec Soth.
Rollerblading is American and every blader dreams an epic tour, is part of our culture, since day one:
WHAT REALLY MATTERS.
Doesn’t matter if you are the gnarliest punk without God out there or the most boring tech skater ever.
Really.
Is not what you do but the way you do it:
You should have fun in the sun.
Style is everything said once J.Adams.
72MM IS THE NEW 33CM.
I’m not a big fan of Rollebrlade, I’m honest.
They sold all of us a few times during the history of blading and cut their team too.
But now they have Rob G, Bruno Loewe and Matthias Ogger on some 72mm wheels.
Yes SEVENTY-TWO.
They made 4 good things in a row.
FOUR like the FOUR 72mm wheels that the Hansel of European rolleblading knows how to use in this electro summer flavor video:
WHERE’S MY PUNK AT?
I’ts really hot in Italy in this days and I find myself to empty a bottle of water on my bed in the middle of the night to survive.
Too punk for my girlfriend.
You know Italian women are the best and I’m wondering to switch to an Italian punk woman to have the chance to keep my bed wet.
Searching for the right outfit for my new mission i find this Chrome Hearts collaboration with Mappelthorpe Foundation:
Now I wondering about how cool would be my black majestic 12 customized like that and how cool was when the Italian skates brand put together the very first punk team in rollerblading and Mike Lilly showed up with this section:
try to play it together:
WHAT HAPPENED IN JUNE ?
What the fuck is happening this june in Genova ?
Are the guys still alive ? For what reason New Moon was best movie at this year Mtv Movie Awards ? Why are the only two skateparks in town still closed ? Is the Blader blog barely dead ?
I’M BATMAN
Speaking of dark knights I can say that keeping something secret is something hard nowadays.
Everybody knows who the Batman is, but only Pietro Firrincieli knows where the secret parts are.
This is time for a Too Faded secret gem, Lee Martin. Enjoy.
NO WAVES
No way.
It’s not always time for good waves, sometimes you just have to skate the shitty mini ramp in front of the beach.
It’s not always time for good online blading videos too. Evidently, when the most recognized blading team is touring in Europe avoiding all the way the big old boot we all care about, you don’t have much time for doing clips we all care about.
So I have to watch something different that reminds me that cruising around with skates and friends it’s funny even if there are still no waves at the horizon.
what a friggin’ fuckin’ poet I am.
NOMINATIONS
Ok, speaking of nominations in blading maybe it’s not so glittering and sparkling as in the movie industry, where Jim Carrey presents himself as a kicking ass hippy while receiving his trophy for the Truman Show at the Mtv Movie Awards.

FEAR OF THE DARK
Per rassicurare tutti quei genovesi che avevano paura che la nuova pool rimanesse al buio.
Il nuovo skatepark di Genova Sestri Ponente aprirà molto probabilmente ai primi di giugno con tanto di festa di inaugurazione, taglio del nastro, vino bianco, focaccia e metallari.
Per ora non vi scrivo l’indirizzo…
HAPPY DAYS
vabbè.. qualcuno a Roma ne ha già parlato, ma le camicie a quadri sono camicie a quadri e un mio amico a San Francisco ne ha di bellissime.
Le pool sono divertenti e loro lo hanno capito già da un pezzo.
