“Here we go again! Back in Barcelona for another week full of skating & exploring the streets of this incredibly vibrant city. This time, we were lucky enough to link up with some of the local Barca residents for a week full of laughs, smiles, beers, cheers, and an endless supply of those dreamy Barca spots”!
“Like a warm memory, looking back on these clips I can still feel the soft winter sun on my skin, hear the sounds of the city streets, smell all the smells (good and bad lol) and feel the bustling energy of this incredible place… also my toes still hurt from that damn tiled floor (iykyk!)”.
“Hope y’all enjoy the vibes. Don’t forget to crank that volume to 11! Endless love to Isac, Jack, Adriaan, Ines, Jaro, Sven & everyone else we met along the way who made this trip one for the books”!

We met Adriaan Poortmans and Isac Martínez while filming for Diablo Mundo in Barcelona, both very generous and supportive skaters who have inspired us in many ways.
They were kind enough to put together this sick edit skating our recently released wheels, just before Isac’s recent injury. Most importantly, we wish him a speedy recovery and hope we can connect soon! Enjoy! - Orange Wheel Company.

The new USD Aeon EQT 60 stands for Equity. This is a new model specifically released to support and fund the female riders in our team. The Aeon EQT is available in our fullest size range to be accessible to all riders regardless of gender, age or ability. This new model is a continuation on from our last moves to support the female skate scene, after our initial collaboration with the Bladies brand. USD is now releasing the EQT to acknowledge and address the lack of opportunities for female riders in the blading community and allow them to have a more active role within it.
Equity stands for fairness and justice for a segment of the blade community that has long been overlooked and under supported, but can now be supported by the whole community through this skate. We hope this can be the first of many future models released to support the female riders of the brand. The royalties of this model will go directly towards funding the invaluable work of all USD’s female riders.

Jumbo: Barcelona, Day 1 (Episode 24) - PLAY
After Winterclash 2024, me and the boys traveled to Barcelona for a week to skate. This was day 1. It was rough. No tour guide, no real plan, just stumbling into spots. But, luckily we’re not spoiled with spots, so anything is pretty fun.
I feel like you always see a lot of the same spots when people film in Barcelona, so I was excited to maybe look at some old spots with a fresh take on it. Pretty sure the first building we skated was skated by Danny Beer, so the escalator was off limits. But I’m pretty sure the gap to gutter is untapped… I dunno. It’s a safe assumption to assume that everything we touched has been thoroughly destroyed. Who knows. The next spot was basically a skatepark, which I think is a first for one of our “4 the streets” things, but that’s ok. It was a good warm up day. - PLAY.
Jumbo: Barcelona, Day 2 (Episode 25) - PLAY
Texas is a big state. A lot of things here are very spread out. Not a lot of cities have good public transportation so you have to drive to most places if you want to get anything done. That’s what we do when we skate, we drive from spot to spot. That is NOT what people do in Barcelona and we were ill prepared for it. The first day, we took it at our own pace, just bopped around the neighborhood and skated whatever we saw.
The second day, we met up with dudes from all over the place. And we skated… and skated. and skated. I clocked as many miles on skates as I was doing when I was 14 before I had a car. Which was great, an amazing way to view the city and honestly really fun. Buuuuut… Incredibly taxing if you’re not accustomed to it. Somehow we survived and still had the energy to skate the spots. First spot was absolute ice. Not sure what that ground was made out of, but it was impossibly slick. It was also a skatepark, which is rare for us to skate. We left quickly.
Nick Lomax took us to the second spot expecting us to skate these line ledges, but as things happen we found a trampoline, a couple of gutter spots and a broken down ol’ bench to skate. I dunno, the whole day was good. Eating fresh oranges out of the tree. Taking a side quest to see the ocean. Getting lost and dodging the rain. Thank you Immony Men for helping me film from time to time.
If anyone hear has heard of Orange Wheel Company, that’s his. The dudes cool and I’ve got nothing but respect. So if you see those wheels, it’s always a good idea to support our real ones. That’s enough ranting. Another day down. - PLAY.

Day 3! We’ve made it to the final half of the trip and we’re on our own again. We’re meandering around without tour guides again. Warming up on aluminum downrails and finding the trash spots of BCN. - PLAY.
