How did growing up in Rhode Island effect the course of your coming up in the blade game? Did it help or hinder your ability to get exposure, clips in videos, photos in magazines, etc.
Growing up in RI was definitely to my disadvantage trying to come up in the blade game. Before there was the internet with online edits, it was kind of hard to get noticed if you didn’t live in Cali or NY. Now you can be from anywhere and get noticed.
I have been to a lot of blade events. Contests on both park and street and some things in between. But I have never been in a skatepark with so many people genuinely stoked on blading. Whether people were there just there to watch, buy some stuff, booze, or just hang out, everyone was real stoked on this thing we call Blading.
THREE SIX IS HARD AS FUCK BUT REAL TALK, THESE FOOLS MUST OF BEEN ON SO MUCH ECSTASY AND COCAINE TO HAVE WANTED TO RAP OVER A FUCKING TECHNO BEAT IN LAS VEGAS. REAL TALK IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH EPILEPSY GTFO ON WATCHING THIS SHIT.

I work a 8-5 Monday thru Friday job. Then with my free time I just blade travel around to where my car will take me to blade. Or hang out with my good friends.
Normally we wouldn’t post about Skateboarding but this article by Professor Iain Borden is too interesting and relevant to us Rollerbladers as well to resist… I suggest taking your time on this one there are some real truth nuggets in here…
“So…23, born in Regina Canada, started skating in 99, grew up skating with Richie Eisler, took a 2 yr post secondary photography course, then quit this last spring to drop everything and be free. broke off a 5.5 year relationship, quit my job, gave up my license, lost my id, smashed my iphone etc… hitched out to the coast to start a new and truly let my skating and photography develop.” – Dustin Werbeski
Do you have a constellation of skaters and entities who influenced different aspects of your blading? How would you describe it? Do you feel like a product of this constellation or is your skating style a result of something unique within you?
