Issue 36 features all the crossovers and promotion that is happening for rolling worlwide. We want to show you how rolling has changed over the years and how tours, skate contests and skaters behave in this new setting. On the contest side we look at the 2 biggest core skate events, the Winterclash and the BCSD, which both stepped up their game this year and drew more looks from outside than ever before. On the tour level we followed USD and NIMH as they dove into the booming South American scene, where skaters are still treated like rockstars. They travelled from country to country and city to city and met tons of skaters and interested people!
To showcase the current skate scene in Europe we take a look at the thriving scene in Berlin, where some of Europe's top skaters and skateowned companies recently moved and are also making their mark outside of skating. Furthermore we started a new format this issue where we showcase skaters who also made their mark outside of skating. For the first installment we met up with Kareem Sheehab who made a big impact in the fixed gear world. And last but not least we caught up with Mark Wodja, who was featured in last years Am issue.
