Freeskating through the city streets of Capetown, South Africa with Earl Abrahams, Ricardo Lino & Greg Fraser. No matter if on four or three, on 80, 90, 110 or even 125mm, those pals choose UC wheels from the Wildlife collection. Shot & cut by the man himself, Greg Fraser.

Cory Auld is a UK/ South African skater, who I met when I first move to Cape Town, in february 2015.

Since then, I have seen Cory skating improving a lot and his style is getting cleaner and unique. It saddens me to know he is living South Africa soon, but i know he´s following his dreams and I know Denmark will treat him good. - Ricardo Lino.

The inline skating world lost one of the most passionate and talented skaters. it saddens me to make this video about Carlos alexandre.

But as one of his friends and someone who respects him the way I do, I know Carlos would appreciate it.

Carlos Alexandre was the Angola inline skating champion and one of the most active skaters in Africa, pushing skating everyday and trying to get more kids into the sport.

Rest in Peace Carlos! I know, you know , we all know you are up there looking for all us. Miss you already. - Ricardo Lino

Podcast on Soundcloud.

Ola, My name is Jaylin and my dad is a wheel addict.
