“…Guess we’re supposed to change the world… Come on, I want to show you something…”

Inspired by my TRON setup from last winter: it’s The Barcelona Sessions III – Another window into our world. Just like the original Barcelona Sessions, or is it? If you are looking for more foot maneuvers and switch-ups, this game is not for you. There is more to blading than Five True Zoos…

It all began with 80mm race wheels to get around. Next came the birth of the new “Powerblading” lines from Kizer and Undercover. Add never-ending hills and perfect Barcelona concrete… before long we were cruising faster than cars on a regular basis.

“On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy.” – Once comfortable with the speeds, naturally, we befriended the machines.

We got in.

And now you can, too. Enter the grid: A first person POV ride through Note’s last sessions in Barcelona.

…Proceed to games. Don’t try this at home.

You can now use these hockey ice blades build your own ice skates. Take your old Roces, Razors Cult or USD Throne boot and mount these babys on them by just drilling a few new wholes.

If you buy the complete ice skates then the blades are attached with bolts instead of rivits. This way you can use the boots as aggressive skates in the summer just by putten a soulplate on them.

- Screws instead of Rivits
- Turn your ice skate in to a stuntskate
- Only available at Thisissoul

Every frame has a story to tell. Every scratch is a letter, every chip a flare of creativity, every mark a test of endurance, every groove a path of accomplishment. Every ramp, every rail, every fall, every cheer, every journey. Every trick you land and every trick you don’t, carved into a layer of plastic, concealed beneath our feet. Every frame has a story to tell. This is ours.

To celebrate over a decade of Ground Control frames comes the film to define a generation.

Starring Brian Aragon, Joey Chase, Julian Bah, Chaz Sands, Damien Wilson, Gabriel Hyden, Alex Burston and Nils Jansons.

Also featuring Dre Powell, Stefan Horngacher, Sammy Chase, Yuri Botelho, Mathias Silhan, Lyle Shivak, Kåre Lindberg, Marc Moreno, Dominik Wagner, Andrew Jaccuzi, Keaton Newsom, David Andrews, Derek Henderson, Chris Haffey, Michael Braud.

A film by Simon Mulvaney, produced by Jon Elliott

Length: 45 minutes, plus 30 minutes of bonus material

The most wel known skate boot is now avalable as a speed ice skate in a clean black color. The liner is very soft and has a v-cut, just like the cuff. This is the first and only Roces skate that has a low cuff which is perfect for the ice skating movements.

This classic speed ice skate is the first to have the frame attached with screw instead of rivits. This way you can attach a M12 or Valo soulplate when there is no ice.

The blades are made in Holland by Zandstra. They are already sharp and greased, so you can skate on them right out of the box.

- Classic Roces boot
- Already sharp
- Unique vcut liner
- Unique vcut cuff
- Screws instead of Rivits
- Turn your ice skate in to a stuntskate
- Blades made in Holland
- Only available at Thisissoul
