A Day with I Roll NY'ers

2010-03-24T11:26:00.000-07:00

Earlier in the month Htat Lin Htut contacted I Roll NY to create a small feature for Parsons The New School of Design. What started out as a commercial became a short documentary of a session held at McCarren Park Pool in Brooklyn, NY. The edit sets a great tone and vibe for the beautiful weather we’ve been having while giving a different perspective and inside look of what a usual NYC session entails. Filmed and edited by Htat Lin Htut featuring Damian Michalski, James Perez, Yannes Sootes and other local skaters.

New Street Artist Wheels...

2010-03-10T18:00:00.001-08:00

Here are the production image leeks from our factory in California, that’s right US fucking A. Better urethane, better cores, we are keeping good on our promise to bring you not only the finest in clothing and most exclusive rollerbladers, but we also stepped up the wheel game. Working closely with Undercover to produce wheels that last longer and don’t decore as easily. Look for more info later in the week with our exclusive on Be-Mag.

I would really like to see more media like this in rollerblading. Nice break from all the typical skate edits. PJ kills the game.

A rollerblading picture produced by MidNight Cinema & The Conference, starring Chris Farmer.

This film was created with a character style treatment that has been developed for a true lifestyle entertainment.

With original music by Chicago band Clique Talk.

The film has been remodeled several times due to a hard drive crashing which resulted in losing much of the original footage. Auto-save rescued a decent portion of it. Enjoy!

Fish's 1st Cover Shot!

2010-02-25T11:12:00.001-08:00

New York City in the house! A big year for our man Fish gets even better with his first-ever cover shot… and you saw it here first. Billy’s interview was shot in NYC by long-time friend and roommate Jeremy Stephenson, and shows the diversity, difficulty and style of blading this East Coast legend has made his own. And not only did Fish bust out for the camera, but he breaks off a huge chunk of knowledge in his interview, covering topics from the crash in Barcelona, The Truth, his family life, living and blading in the City, and what it means for a company to be “skater-owned.” Hell, he even shares a story about Ryan Jacklone. In an issue packed with content we can’t even tell you all about just yet, this is one feature you don’t want to miss. Premiering at BCSD X, come by our booth to be one of the 300 bladers lucky enough to get their hands on the newest issue. See you there. Billy will also be having his first Street Artist signature wheel dropping in March 2010!-ONE

Signature Premiere/Tri-State Skate Commercial

NYC OG Ray Mendez
Full Theatre!

Here is the commercial Jay Staine(Signature is his baby) was nice enough to film and edit for me to show before his video started at the premiere last night which popped off! The theatre had 187 seats, and he had about 150 of those filled up which is pretty amazing. People came from all over, NJ, Bronx, Queens, Manhatten, Brooklyn, Harlem, etc, etc, etc. It was nice not only to see such a great blade flick on the big screen, but to see someone as motivated as Jay produce such a great video and premiere. Everything about Signature was done to the fullest. Everything from the filming/editing all the way down to the premiere/after party last night. It was great to see everyone come out and support this video. After seeing the success of the premiere, and everyone's excitement over the video, I think it's safe to say we can count on seeing another amazing video from Jay in the near future.

If you haven't seen the video yet, I suggest you go and buy it asap(of course from Tri-State Skate), but if not from us, make sure you buy it from another real shop. Stere clear from those ones who front like they are rollerblader owned, your not fooling anyone! All the fakes should be nervous about Fuck Fridays.

"What Do You Believe In"

2009-11-28T20:50:00.000-08:00

What Do You Believe In? from Alexander Coe on Vimeo.

Written and directed by industry pioneer Arlo Eisenberg, edited by rollerblading's most influential filmmaker Joe Navran (FORII, Elements, Coup De Tat) and produced by Mindgame's Shane Coburn, "What Do You Believe In?" set out to completely re-imagine what a rollerblading video could be.

"What Do You Believe In?" features five of the brightest stars in rollerblading: Brian Shima, Jon Elliott, Josh Petty, Rachard Johnson, and Jaren Grob. The video focuses on their skating, which is some of the best ever captured on film, but it is complemented by a surreal story line which weaves in and out of their sections.

"What Do You Believe In?" is not a narrative story in the conventional sense, nor is it a standard skate video neatly divided into rider's sections. It is a low budget, experimental, artistic interpretation of skating that does not merely break all of the rules but seems to be completely unaware of them altogether.

The skating alone would rank "What Do You Believe In?" among the best videos ever made, but add to that its artistic vision and its fearless conviction to add something completely new to the rollerblading landscape and what you've got is an instant classic. "What Do You Believe In?" is a landmark video and a must have for any rollerbladers collection.

2009 WRS Pro Tour: The 2009 World Finals (Las Vegas, USA) by J.Cloe from W.R.S. World Rolling Series on Vimeo.

World class riders gathered in Las Vegas on Halloween weekend and battled for the World Finals title, last stop of the WRS 2009 Pro Tour.

A lot of pessure was on Aragon at this final event in Vegas because two riders could have potentially taken his 1st place on the WRL: Chris Haffey and Julien Cudot.
After a brilliant season on the Pro Tour in which he qualified for the Pro Finals, amateur Julien Cudot didn't manage to pass the first round. Chris Haffey, although succeeding at qualifying for the final round, took a hard fall on a disaster true fish and had to retire from the competition.

Despite Wellsmore's (2nd) impressive tricks, Broskow's (3rd) creativity and style, Sizemore's (4th) aggressive disasters and Stockwell's (5th) fast lines, Brian Aragon did not loose his focus and took 1st place by landing stylish hammers and utilizing the whole course including every new obstacles built especially for the Las Vegas Finals.
He was then crowned 2009 World Champion (WRL#1) in front of the Vegas crowd, alongside Chris Haffey (WRL#2) and David Sizemore (WRL#3).

WRS World Finals Results:
1. Brian Aragon [USA]
2. CJ Wellsmore [Australia]
3. Alex Broskow [USA]

I ROLL NY Interview @ Shut Up And Skate...

2009-11-10T00:39:00.000-08:00

I Roll NY is a major part of the foundation in the resurgence of the NYC scene that has come about in recent years. It is a place that unites every skater in the 5 Boroughs, across the river to the island of Staten as well as the distant rollas in Buffalo & beyond. It is the central news hub that keeps everybody up to date with everything going on in the Empire State. I love I Roll NY since I can keep up with all of my NYC Rolling Family with a click of a mouse. In this “Company Spotlight” I gave Craig Benabu a platform to open up about IRollNY, so enjoy this read, learn something new about IRollNY and remember to give the man credit if you use his pics & storiesWITHOUT permission. ( I got your back Craig! )

Who’s Involved in IRollNY?

I Roll New York is made up of one person, myself. My name is Craig Benabu, I’m 23 years-old, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I run everything from the graphic designs, website maintenance, shirt designs, photography, videography…etc. You name it, I pretty much can and have to handle the situation haha. Besides my own work with I Roll NY I also get a lot of outside contributions from Angelo Ferrer and Layla Ferrer who make up the Art of Rolling, as well as Adonis Taylor and Christen Cofer of Evotek Media, Navin Hardyal of Skeptic Media, and Victor Callender of Wheels In Motion NYC. We’re all in a similar situation where we’re trying to promote our city and the skaters who are in it so we benefit from exposing each others work through my website.

How long has I Roll NY been around?

Publicly, the answer is simple. I Roll NY has been around for almost two years now. December 15th will actually be the official day that I Roll NY has been online for two years. But the answer gets more complicated if you ask when the idea of I Roll NY started haha. I guess I can mark it at roughly seven years ago (I have one of my first drafts of the design from ‘02 if you want to see.) I wanted something that represented where I was from and what I loved to do that was easily recognizable and simple. New Yorker’s are proud of where they’re from and what they do so I played off of the I Love NY design because it was something that every New Yorker either owns or sees on a daily basis. It’s easily recognizable, iconic, and says you either live in New York, visited New York or at the very least represent New York. That’s what I wanted my design to convey. I wanted it to be an iconic presence that represented rollerblading in New York that anyone can wear and relate to. On a side note, the original idea of making a shirt was just something that I wanted to have for myself but if anyone has experience with trying to get a shirt done you know it’s almost impossible just to get one original tee created unless you’re willing to pay an absurd amount. When I first tried to get the shirt done, most of the places I went to flat out said no to the idea of just making one shirt haha. Also, I saw a lot of grassroots clothing companies from kids my age at the time, half the time younger than me, that were laughed and ridiculed and inevitably failed. I didn’t want to be just another company, or rather a website now, that came out of nowhere and eventually went back to nowhere. I guess that explains the five years of waiting to release the idea publicly haha.

Can you give us a Company Bio?

As for the company bio question I think I kind of covered it already. For a while I Roll NY became a partnership but there were too many issues and conflicts and eventually I Roll NY went back to just being run by me which I think worked out for the best. Also I’m kind of iffy on labeling what I do as a “company” because I don’t think I’m established enough (at least for my standards) for that label but I’ll roll with it haha. The whole theory or goal for the shirt aspect of I Roll NY is not to be representing me or my idea ya know? I Roll NY isn’t really something that you can label a brand or say “this guy owns it and runs it” or something cause it conveys a personal message. The tee allows you to represent what you personally love doing and where you love doing it. If you’re from New York or outside of New York the shirt represents what you love doing. It shows the bond we all have with each other in a simple way. I mean just look at David Sizemore in his Solo Collective Edit haha. Sorry, had to do at least one name drop. I was hyped when I saw the footage of him wearing the tee!

As for the I Roll NY website, the idea came from the lack of coverage our scene was getting in our media. For a few years, and even now, there wasn’t a big name in our industry that was releasing anything focusing on New York or half the time featuring footage from New York so of course it lead kids to believe that our scene was dead. Being someone who frequents the online message boards, I constantly saw kids from outside New York saying that our scene either sucked or has died down just because they saw no coverage which was not the case at all. Taking their words personally, as a typical New Yorker would, I decided to respond back but instead of talking trash over the internet as so many opt to do I started collecting the little bits of media I found online focusing on New York and put them on my website for all to see. I spent hours online, still do till this day unfortunately, searching out any piece of content that dealt with New York or featured a New York skater allowing me to have something to write about on a daily basis. Just an FYI, a lot of the content you see on I Roll NY is the result of me wasting my days away on the internet. If the content doesn’t have my name on it, or Art of Rolling, or Evotek, or Skeptic, it was the result of me staying up till three in the morning looking for things to feature haha.

What is your goal with I Roll NY?

My goal for the website is to let the world know that New York has a very strong presence in the rolling community. Our scene is broad, yet connected, and increases everyday and I wanted to showcase that. I’d like to think that my website encourages the big names in our industry, whether it be pros or company owners, to visit our city and hold events here and I think that idea rings true seeing as the World Rolling Series picked NYC to be the host of the first street competition under their title. When all of the pros/company owners showed up to our weekly Lets Roll NY session before the WRS, held by Victor Callender, they were shocked at the amount of kids that came out on a regular basis. A lot of the big names in our industry were brought back to their childhood days. Some even knew about my website and checked it out frequently! As well, I try to use the I Roll NY website as a promotional tool for others. When I was creating edits in ‘02-’03 there wasn’t really a platform for me to show my work besides the online message boards and I wanted to give kids who are trying to make a name for themselves and their friends an easy way to be recognized. For example, the NY media, photographer, videographer and skate shop links are all on my website to benefit the people that are featured. I guess you can say I use the site as a sort of resume builder for others haha. Kids can say, “Yeah I’m featured I Roll NY.” Ya know? Haha. I try to make the website as little about me as possible but unfortunately I don’t think people recognize that or at least take advantage of it. There are a lot of big names, established people, and up in comers in New York who can benefit our city and themselves even more by participating with what I’m doing. I constantly tell people to just shoot me an email with some photos or an edit and only very rarely does someone contact me. I hate the idea of struggling to find content due to people not participating because if www.irollny.com existed a few years back I would be submitting edits and pictures on a daily basis. To everyone who has any photos,edits,articles,designs…etc. featuring New York send me an email at irollny@gmail.com

Craig Benabu & I Roll NY Thanks/Shout-Outs

2009-11-05T20:49:00.000-08:00

As you can clearly tell from the ad above, "Signature" is a new DVD coming out this winter by New Jersey's own Jay Staine. From what I've heard so far it sounds like this video will be a must have. I am personally looking foward to seeing skating from Alex Nunez, being that he doesn't get as much media coverage as Jeff Dalnas and Mark Wojda, but is still on the same level. Having full profiles on these 3 guys seems to be a perfect choice, being that all 3 skaters have 3 very different styles from each other.

Congratulations.
