See you Friday! 3.8.10 Colin Kelso, Sean Kelso, Steve "Alf" Iacono, and Billy "Fish" O'Neill decided they had enough of the cold east coast and came out to skate Arizona for a week.

Check out Damien's Profile Here 3.3.10 The NEW REMZ HAFFEY 2.0 will arrive to Revolution on Monday (3/8). Style-wise Chris takes it back to the days when he began riding Remz. The skate features the classic color scheme reminiscent of the first Remedy, a fresh low cut skin, a redesigned rear lacing system, and strong hockey laces giving the skate a distinctive and athletic look. "When you're rocking these they look like mid-top shoes, looks super sick!" says Chris. 3.2.10 Check the out in our Revolution Set-Ups Section. We believe "Real storefronts are the backbone for your scene." Rollerblading is not going to grow without creating new skaters for the future.

What we do makes a difference for rollerblading. 3.1.10 Final results: Haffey (1st), Bolino (2nd), Aragon (3rd), Broskow (4th), and Soichiro (5th). Right before Bolino left for Bittercold, he said at the shop, "I'm going to try really hard to win this year, I think I can do it." Apparently, he wasn't kidding around. Again, Congrats John! 2.25.10 INRI Collaboration Line x Fade Hurricane (Robert Leivanos). Featuring 6 New Designs. INRI printed on a super soft, custom cut t-shirt.

Probably a solid hour of attempts, he finally slid the entire ledge. Unfortunately, there is a really bad landing, you have about 6 ft. then it runs into a set of stairs going up. Casey crashed into the stairs. Casey has this monster on his "unfinished business list" - Check it out Here 2.23.10 Remz is releasing the new Chris Haffey Pro 2.0 this week. The skate features a new "low-cut" remz stlyle, new leather materials, a new streamlined look resembling Remz from 1998. Haffey also added a plastic insert placed on the top of your foot.
