End of days 2013

With end of 2013 drawing nigh, the time was right to once again attend the largest gathering of rollerbladers (with gifts) in the pacific northwest, XMAS BLADE COMP 6. Thanks to everyone who came out, it’s always a great time. Big ups to Jon Xmas for organizing. I’m never filming at D-block again… until next year.

Friday the 13th

Billy “Beastmaster” Anderson of bl8ordieblog fame recently relocated to Portland. Anxious to blade, and in the possession of a generator and lights, he hit me up to see if I wanted to night-skate, on the day you’re most likely to get knifed by a hockey mask-wearing degenerate. I agreed, assuming Billy really was the master of all beasts, and that such mastery could come in handy if said degenerate decided to strike. With Ivan and Jimmy in-tow, we headed to the legendary Holiday Center to do some slashing of our own.
