Winter Clash was a roaring success and the skaters went full bore plenty of grinds spins and people going upside down in lots of different ways stair rid jump rope and people turning themselves into fetishes it witnessed one of the greatest comebacks in rollerblade and that as people calling Joe ainson listen
Again there’s been edits from standard mesma Neils and Kudo we got to see the echo skates potentially new stuff from them skates someone tried smuggling drugs in roller blades and Julian Kudo fell off a mega and I found in the hall and everybody goes over me I almost up
The world show let’s get into the thing all the stunts are performed by professionals do not attempt this yourself I said withn the class are you ready oh my God he wasn’t he actually got hit so hard he forgot he can actually speak English I don’t speak
English you don’t speak English Okay so favorite skater in the final brilliant Marco says he can’t speak English and Matt Mickey just continues so uh favorite skater in the finals mate it’s NS NS why NS because it’s in my team only for This live stream gold and there was lives more bits like that which will get into later when I first seen the winter Clash course start appearing in people’s stories a few things ran through my mind first was wow St John’s ambulance are going to be putting a shift in over the
Weekend people are going to be getting broken off one of the many great things about winter Clash is that like anybody can get involved and a lot of people do it is however very tempting to start thinking I’m going to make a name for myself here like whole industry is
Watching pretty sure mat te just like winked at me the crowd is woring you’re thinking I’m going to do something mad like that I’ve never done before I wouldn’t even consider doing it in like soft play one in a million chance of Landing it that’s impossible and people get turned to
Cheese of course looked like it was encouraging that like whispering to people come on do this trick you’re going to go pro if you do this jump this will be your mate I thought it was going to be amateurs treating themselves like Crash Test Dummies but I think it was
The pros that took the Lion Share of like the bad Bales I don’t enjoy watching Bales so I’m not going to show it but aby’s Bell was absolutely brud F like a lawn chair if I could describe it compar it to something else it was like when Bane broke Batman’s back in The
Dark Knight Rises that’s exactly it you merely adopted win class I was born in it and the second thing I thought was that locco skate box was made for Joe ainson which was pretty accurate which uh we’ll get into later the Juniors were straight in setting the time for a very
Exciting day the junior females got stuck right in and it’s not an easy course to skate at all like everything it’s much gnarlier in real your life bigger in person yeah yeah what it looks like times two that’s how big it is you might have been sitting at home given at
The big being like I can do that but you get there see the size of all the obstacles like stick a few like hundred or like few th000 people in front of you like watching you all of a sudden you can’t even drop in properly Eva took
Third kagina came second and am taking the win after a solid performance one of the junior men’s Heats started with a 540 Aly from Philip hudac and a fakey 900 cor from harui that is mental I know like we need more kids in rollerblading but the ones we do have pretty good like
There’s like children back flipping over my head and [ __ ] just like wow I suck Michel Peter Zach was smashing it round the course and his Ender was aizu to front flip 180 that is a stunt and that secured in thir are you not entain are you not entertain Yun sh how
Was gliding around the place everything he did looked smooth and controlled he Al top so the rosi’s box which is one of the best tricks I’d seen on that and that was to take second but it was a herui who trains at the tekashi Yoku gym of absolutely crisp skating who took the
Gold he is another level above he’s got all the crowd pieces in there but with style and outrageous form his final trick was a hurricane top so which was a beauty and he’s no stranger to winning comps either you should see the kid on vert 13 years old goat in the making if
Rer got more attention he’d be a superstar I actually talked about him in future stars in rer actually talked about loads of the people that uh did really well in Winter clash and Future Stars a roller B so it’s really good to see them like go from like being like
Kind of Stand Out young skers to actually now like performing on a really big stage for roller beading the anoman was a massive highight and it absolutely kicked off Brazil came out in force Laura Santos was one of the Brazilian squad that came over and set about
Destroying the park fish brains on the big box switches on it hitting the big ra and looking very At Ease on like all the obstacles even hyping up the crowd like a great Ambassador for rollerblading and she took third k bed Ratt was hitting back flips the firecracker rail throwing fakey top
Asses and hitting the big out to take second good bit of female representation there for Roes I spotted that Shima was front and center like loving every second of it it’s great that he still gets a buzzer it I think it’s really important for like icons and people of
Like his like Grand status to be seen at these kind of events like it’s motivational for people Anna Julia D Silva started their heat off with a 900 on the big like Grindhouse snow plow box then continue to rinse the park putting lines together 360s to grinds flat fives
True spin this true spin that and it wasn’t just the level of the tricks she was doing it was the consistency and how she looked totally comfortable floating around the park picking these tricks out her finishing move was a c 720 at the Grindhouse box that heat and her skating
Specifically was one of the standout performances of the day the mood was already like pretty bubbling but like that took it to Turbo Man the comment section on the live stream was like flooded with Brazilian flags and like her name and a lot of people saying later that she probably could have held
Her own in the Pro division there seems to be a really strong community in competitions seen in Brazil especially the likes of like Dela Street which is dedicated to women’s skating like the results speak for themselves and I know it’s very easy for me to say this
Because I don’t have to deal with the logistics but it would be amazing to see their sponsors fly them out to more competitions outside of Brazil and like South America because like their presence and the performance they put on is like it’s unbelievable it’s so motivational if you’re into the video
And you like to see me continue to do this there’s a few ways you can support me like giving a like and throwing a comment in there is amazing there’s also patreon and the channel membership exclusive video sneak peeks that kind of thing I’ve got merch you can buy which
Is also up on the muzzle website and there it all really does genuinely help to uh keep this thing going so cheers the ammen had about 160 competitors which is really healthy and the final heat was like another step up Rosa’s secret weapon Franchesco F had a good
Run out and I thought he might pinch a top three spot actually but just got pick by gills who was actually one of the volunteers at winter crash which kind of feels like a Disney story or something he’s there putting the ramps together like sweeping up pre-waxing it
Like shining people skates for him just dreaming about his one shot then Lose Yourself by Eminem comes on and he goes mad for it his final Banger after a little battle was a two c back back to sweaty which he laed he’s also the person that Marco stepped right in front
Of like thought he was Ringo Star on Abby Road realized he left the oven on so just started walking off cled oh my God help me I got you normally when people do flips at our grinds I think it’s just highness like it’s probably wet is it wet packet hand slapped in
Your face like there you go but I will eat my hat and after Julian Kudo gave him a few like words of advice like get those middle Wheels out and just think of France mate Lenny Jord so to backflip was landed so nice if everybody did it
Like that I’d be a convert it was brilliant one of my favorites from last year and the game this year was naburu katama unbelievable style as I was watching it live I predicted what was going to happen Nuru is going to full fakey free to like Al Topo something
Something full tops side and he did it unmatch sty and finess he just does cool tricks with Incredible technique better than anyone I thought he was going to be a shoe in for the win it was Leonardo cardoso who took the gold starting his line off with a 900 then a fakey Misty
And an abstract five off the Grindhouse snowplow he was then throwing lofty frees to souls and although he missed his final finisher trick I think probably the volume of naughty stuff he did like earned him first before we get into the pros one of the many great
Things about winter crash is uh it’s not just about the competition jumbo put out a great video capturing the essence of it all that’s the amop welcome to the pro C some really cool skating goes down outside the comp as well there was a session on a staircase with like mom
Gabriel hien Ley Umberto there was a phone pit session that looked like it went off Joe ainson was doing unreal stuff on the resi ramps seore dropped a 540 kind grind underneath the Roes box Julio was having a session on the mini ramp everywhere you look there’s like
Young kids skating like meeting more kids there ra just like making new friends there’s breakout dance comps at the end there’s people doing jump Thro there’s George Wilson kicking himself in the head you had the cosplay guys dressed as Julian Kudo with the bagots the sigs and the wrist protectors for 3
Days or more all those internet friends become like your real life friends and you think actually this is really good like if I can just put a little bit more money into this community like support the things that I really like support stuff like this we can keep doing this
And it’s mint the fits were going off Brian Shima had one of my favorites when he came like all decked out in black with the black Monclair jile looking like is about to touch road Dan Robinson came as someone’s recently divorced Auntie Bobby and Martina came as veroa salt and violet
Bard roast beef and a Bak potato this guy came as Mick huckel the women’s Pro event kicked off the final part of festivities and every single one of them got stuck into it and brought something different it was pretty hard to say like who was winning everyone had their like
Standout moments someone would have a good line and you think oh there edging it and then another person would like land something mad I kind of think chiru would have landed her finishing move trick if people use their common sense and got back a little bit like Captain
Bird’s ey standing there filming like he’s trying to get a read on people’s Fred camp people sitting on a bench like they’re at a tea party or watching a game of croquet Javi wrapped up third with an acid to top acid first go job and knock misaki who was the most
Stylish female skater of the day and killing it the whole time got a fakey free kind grind on her fourth go ending up with second and Mary who was bringing a little bit more amplitude all day actually got injured on the first go of her last trick but like a trooper got
Back up to do a soul to soul and the only reason her foot popped out was cuz she basically couldn’t put any weight on her foot but still did it anyway minus the injury a great start to the year new skates the Primo in this win I really
Wish though she would have given it one of these like to all the people questioning her St that would have been a touch and that’s Demetrius skate shut up M what he W recently primate a lot of people saying Anna Julia would have fared well in the Pro Division and I
Like I totally agree with that it’ be good see her in that division next year the men’s finals boil down to free Heats of absolute Madness the other day I was speaking about people abing into event or David seore after scaling kleo actually dropped in from the ceiling
Deno started with a 1260 everyone came out charg and it was like trying to keep an eyee on like 20 different people all on different Walters at the same time it was comparable to just letting a Ruck of chickens run wild on a course Danning was throwing big sevens Oran was getting
Tech on the grind to Walter grinds I really like seis more zero air transfer then doing the frontier to 450 out danillo continued to skate like a Beyblade on the box the USD box of them box spinning all over the place and he finished things off with the Roberto
Caros 540 TTP on the USD box Oran signed things off with the front fa W ride to fish cmore did a massive wall ride straight onto somebody’s Jed no idea what that guy was thinking finish him they might want to start considering sticking people in helmets if they’re
Going to stand that close to the action like get them fully like suited up like a night chain mail and all that kind of stuff it would look unreal in the footage like people darting around there’s just a line of knights just standing there watching it go down if
Somebody in the crowd’s being a bit of an idiot get him in the stocks throw a load of sweaty intuition liners at him the second heat sort of bright and Bobby straight in there with the flips and Spins Yaro top so 540 into the quarter
Pipe was spot on a break disaster s full pout towards the cage wall trying to turn himself into grated cheese or going for that like Flame Grill effect on his body Levy was up on the stadium support rails and the Enders were absolutely Bonkers again with the big 540 off the
Snowplow and he Master up Rhino strength legs cuz that was turning everybody else to jelly Levy with the soul up the rail to fish sort of backslide bunk tap thing 180 drop that was absolutely wild and I think it was a bit like underrated now I’m assuming the riders in the final
Heat weren’t picked like randomly because they were just like Premier League it was on another level and the winner was like definitely coming from this heat not disres to the others like everybody else you got to the finals was unbelievable but they were all flying economy while these lot were on like a
G6 or something G G again another start with pure chaos Joe Atkinson with one of the biggest Airs of the day and the 540 stall Dom with a 900 Julian 720 cork Neils top acid to back Roy which was turning other people to feta Dom continued speeding around plucking off
Tricks the hill roll to top Sunny was a great use of the Loco B Cai was having an absolute cracker spinning to All Sorts the zero Al top 360 in was so nice Neils kept everything stylish or still dropping like stunter and crowd pieces as is Tradition at winter class
Everybody mobbed the course for the final tricks and that’s another great thing about it being able to get really like almost completely stuck into the action like the skate is going past you like sweat slapping you in the face barely able to breathe cuz of the bo levels skaters can’t see where they’re
Skating or where they’re going to land Don went for the 540 alyuk Soul on the Loco rail Neils grabbed a fresh cabbage straight out of the ground MCH on that squeeze some character straight into his eyes Bit of Earth down his line and get that organic feel he’d already done top
So to top so but extended it this time by going a little bit further and getting into the quarter pipe and doing it so smooth as well Kudo after hitting a per specs twice got the disaster alyo top acid the most leaned out he possibly could have been he used a fullon drop
Kick technique right at the Apex of his jump it was pretty mad just watching him wax it and even consider that trick completely berserk now earlier in the heat Joe ainson in his own words completely bag piped himself a severe case of accordion lung and he got carted off to the medical Bay
And everybody thought like that’s him he’s done but the Whispers started and the rumors began to spread as Joe was lying there medical team were replacing his lung with a VHS of puberty the method the previous winners of the winter Clash visited him via Spirit putting a little bit of tear into a
Bottle combining that with like helmet sweat bearing lube a lost sock from the trade show some chips and curry sauce and a the beino album from 1994 and Joe Rose back to life that they Undertaker oh my God please come here you could clearly see Joe with still in
A fair bit of discomfort then the DJ came in clutch dropping Sandstorm the crowd were absolutely fizzing and he went full hog at the locco Box backside up to thing to wool sto to Roy back in then it was pure pandemonium after [Applause] that best comeback in a competition ever and that actually won him like best trick for the sixth time that’s unreal Delo took third Kudo took second and Nils took the win by the mad skating winter Clash is really great cuz everybody feels involved in it everyone
Plays A Part huge shout out to Jojo and a host of other people making it happen it’s a small industry there’s not a lot of money so it’s a big ask but they do it so well it’s like the Pinnacle of what can be achieved given the current
Situation and you realize how passionate and like motivated people are to do stuff with rollerblading how many people leave that thing feeling like positive un motivated and just generally really pumped on rollerblading this was the craziest [ __ ] it’s pretty [ __ ] cool the interviews from the event are now
Out and Jump Street did a great one with Julian Kudo and he’s come across really well he’s clearly a very dedicated and motivated man really cool to hear about his plans and all the great Stories the Nitro Circus one is utterly wild I almost [ __ ] up the world show finally
Collapse and I do a split my balls always almost it and then I go front flip and I find in the H and everybody goes over me for all the Mad stuff he does so it sounds like he’s got his head screwed on and got a good plan and I really liked his
Answer about sponsors as well I have some friend who works with razor and stuff like that so I’m talking with them sometimes and they say yeah we would like to have you on the team but we cannot pay for now or stuff like this so so yeah then I don’t pay interest to
That anymore I’m like okay I understand but that that’s that’s not that’s not good for me so the choice is to that I just don’t want to make what I do now on my skates for a brand without getting paid like a a decent Amon M Mickey also
Grabbed in quickly after the finals to have a quick chat what would it mean to you to have a fourth Victory it would means a lot but it would means that I still have a lot of work because I I want to win way more I love that man so
Sick to have such a strong competitive Spirit but seemingly just buzzing to be there as well like I also really respect you don’t see Kudo complaining about the results like there’s definitely been a few times where you think Kudo should have really won that competition or this
Competition but he just gets on with it goes out there gives it his all as a Great’s time results come in does it win he’s like yeah whatever I’ll be back to win some more unlike certain other skaters who love a bit of complaining Julian has actually already won his next
Comp the Leon open 2024 putting on a very acrobatic display netting himself a th000 and a dog before the winter Clash Blues even set in Neils dropped an edet and he must already be eying up soty wins winter clash and is like get an eye
Full of this man I am class he’s very well known for his clean cut professional approach to skating but he’s still got that rowdiness in him there’s a video of him when he was a really young kid like he’s like 12 or something it’s on head and skate and
He’s doing a trick tip and it’s a disaster and he’s just like yeah mate youve just got to send it like a great combination of very purposeful movements style control technicality and big stunts I was going to try and pick a favorite trick but everything in there
Feels like a standout moment I’ve done a full breakdown on my patreon go and check that out seatics must be absolutely loving it already seeing a return on their investment with their like two New Riders placing first and second while they also had their wheels on display Nils has the purple srl
Numbers with the magic boots written on them kind of like a Bruiser Bar colorway under the right conditions a Bruiser Bar would like fuse your teeth together and kudo’s got the black swirly ones with a zombie looking bloke on it Kudo also dropped his intro edit with a Medina and
The first line is absolutely pissed the 270 back Sav reever neg mistro surprised me and it shows how Tech Julian can get without doubt he can get mad on Rails but I really like seeing him skate spots that aren’t rails for me that’s when I find his skating most interesting I also
Bet he could do something totally messed up on an awkward spot co-founder of SX Fritz piz also wanted a slicer reaction putting out an edit himself and it’s really good man so someone thought a smart idea to smuggle Coke in rollerblade Wheels unfortunately for them the skates were discovered in a
Package by Homeland Security traveling between Colombia and kosia Wisconsin they searched a property where the skates were headed and also found a kilo more of drugs and a rock of fake ideas how did they even work out that drugs are in the skates sometimes I uh use the
My house for parties the best ideas got at 2: a.m. and he’s after a couple of years yeah and a few joints uh in the build up to Winter Clash was a fair bit of excitement and Intrigue around Echo a new Skate brand and we got
To see the skate the first comments I seen were mostly about the shell designs specifically that bit that kind of looked like smudge clay or like somebody had picked it up before it had set properly it’s been compared to the 909 and I believe that’s exactly why they’ve
Added little bits like that they’ve gone down the clean and simple hard boot design route but to separate themselves they flown in like a bit of a smudge those little notches near the toe and also on the frame I think some of the shiny samples they had there exaggerated
The smudge the final texture is actually going to be matte which is like noticeably different makes a feature less defined and makes the skate look a lot better the promo edit was on the live streen and that was a cool little snapshot Tobias neelson and Jason Mohler
Were the skaters and I’ve been involved in the development process so where do people think they sit in the market like they offer a relatively cheap hard boot skate but you can get the sway and the m 12 for cheaper and now you’ve got the play Life reactor which is 75 less
Beyond a slightly different aesthetic there’s no massive like Innovation there on a surface level so they’re just coming into a small Market as another competitor like a budget version of a 909 or a standard but all the previous Brands mentioned have teams they support so it’s going to be very important to
See what Echo do Beyond just the skate I had a little chat with them and they said like the plan is to try and develop a team they’ve been working with the guys in Denmark they also want to bridge out to people in the UK they want to get
Involved in like groups in skate schools they want to sponsor like Juniors they want to move into the female Market as well and they want to be like present at events and they did actually sponsor the live stream so like kind of all good steps all very sound intentions and
We’ll just have to see what happens talk on a standard they dropped this is now their first team video in a formal introduction to their Riders yandi Stefan and Bryan I think it’s a solid first out and plenty of varied spots in there which I really enjoyed Brian Vice
Stood out to me there’s an extra level of creativity and refinement to his skating it sets him apart I did also really like this jump to air event from stepan and I thought that was the actual trick but that was just him getting to the spot the majority of you thought it
Was decent followed by a banger Mesmer and their crew of Bandits put out NYC Volume 2 with a soundtrack straight from jil’s Rock world really sick they’re continuing to make these crew edits happen and get their internationally spread team together because they’re really good at it the lwis corales bank
W seted up to soul and that super high ledge was [ __ ] Premier and such a cool moment in a video full of Great Moments you know that initial hype when mesma was announced well they’re living up to it it seems like they’re getting stronger and actually fulfilling their
Intentions Dom is always exciting and unpredictable he does a stair bash upstairs which was mad mark Marino seems very at home skating New York and is really crafty he is just so well versed in navigating City terrain Billy the boss man was still giv it and that TTP
Was such a lovely touch Levy van rain was absolutely brilliant he always has an entertaining mix of buck wild and creativity Bolino keeps pushing himself more and more into the best side street skater ever no matter what he’s skating he can take it to another level of execution is like undeniably great while
Still feeling really and exciting the extended mesma family including the great M styles are heavily involved in this one as well and it’s all edited seamlessly like you’re not waiting there for your favorite skater to appear everybody brings something and it goes so well swen bers is an incredible
Skater and continues to be an incredible skater into his like early 40s and I’m sure he will continue to be great him and his mates have started at the grpe which happened the other weekend they had a Jam a few games of skate then Premier darar videos they invited Cruz
To the world Skate Center for private sessions with the aim of making a two-minute edit which had to involve a tire with the likes of Brookland Zoo plastic pushers B of toen all getting involved it looks like a great event head over to sven’s channel to catch all
Of our videos them and them Riders have been dropping some ridiculous reels lately first June Q has a captivating level of control over his skates his his form and movements Brosco who continues to be the goat he did this lovely like drop back Sav which is so good and a
Zero soil which is absolutely beautiful then you had Pat rder pouring new life into mini ramp skating and another example of how styling conviction makes skating look class but also fun John’s recently been visiting the factories you can clearly see like an 80 mil wheel being tested some other wheel
Sizes Maybe being ped he’s got a picture of the skates there is this a new colorway with some updates on the way cuz they seem to be fairly regularly making improvements to the 909 what do you reckon if winter Clash has got you itching to go to more events of some uh
Things coming up later in the year Copenhagen b-roll 2024 will be on the 16th 17th and 18th of August in Copenhagen obviously it looked amazing last year straight after that you got the capital rollers Jam in London and prior to all of that you got the Stockport Jam but this time in Works
