Windy City Riot: This all street contest has been around 23 years running. Its held in Chicago and it’s always been known for being gnarly. It’s almost a honor to skate in that contest even though anyone can enter. So many incredible tricks have gone down over the 2 decades by some of the most talented. They made $8000 this year to pay winners by doing raffles and donation stuff plus sponsors which is awesome.

At least thats how I feel about it cause rollerblading isn’t a very lucrative sport so thats impressive to achieve. Beyond the point! haha I again didn’t plan on making a edit so maybe next time I will just commit and try to do more filming. It was my 4th day walking since my surgery so Im still getting used to moving, standing and most definitely walking. If you’re reading this and one of the many people who came up and showed love I really appreciate the support cause it made me feel great and almost validated my trauma in ways.

Besides the point haha love goes out to all the skaters out there who still show up to these. It’s truly a really badass thing when you sit back and think about it (maybe blazed) Windy City Riot is a hard contest to skate in and everyone wants a piece of the action. Shit can get wild out there. So yeah all the people who put on Windy City Riot are awesome and I pat them all on the back because just like the intro to this edit. “I dont have any money” lol So I am almost done with this rant…or am I? not sure yet. let me think. umm…nah I think thats about it. Good times and I truly hope to see everyone there next year. Peace…or is it?… - Hawke Trackler.

When you spend a few months travelling and skating through the country you sometimes have to cave in and join a few sessions at the parks. While you may think skating might define a country’s street culture in the paved avenues of the big cities, the skateparks of Mexico also have a story to tell and are still the place of good times sharing sessions. This one is for all the carnales we met.

Parks in Mexico are really surprising and oftentimes huge and vast dumps of concrete in some cities where only a few practice urban sports which usually adds to their volume. But meeting the crews of each city as we went through allowed us to share some great memories and even skate some hidden gems. For instance in Morelia where we met up with Joe Atkinson and explored a covered up SpaceBowl for a shadowy session out of time.

Be sure to watch the whole Chileros Video not to miss out on professional action since I loved the song to much and added a bunch of footage from Joe Atkinson, Julien Cudot and Stephane Alfano borrowed from other great projects like Foot Moon and Alfamor videos.

We’re proud to announce the addition of World Champion, Julien Cudot to the Cymatics Pro Team! Julien is one of the most determined skaters in our industry, which is made evident by his drive to compete and win all over the world. As of late, he’s been dominating the streets with the same technicality and intensity he is known for in the park.

Julien’s personal growth and evolution has given him the mental strength needed to push the limits and become a role model for future generations of skaters. Please join us in welcoming Julien to the team. Filmed & edited by Anthony Medina, in Austin, Texas. Visit Cymaticsbrand.com.

5th edition of the Street Republique Contest – Belgium Edition (Liège) - Girls & Men Competition. Featuring: Julien Cudot, Antony Pottier, Frederic Bukowski, Diako Diaby, Arnaud Gillet, Pierre Saporta, Armelle Tisler, Carla Pasquinelli pasquinelli and more! Filmed & edited by Kevin Ciman.

After a year’s break, here is the coming back of the Street Republique event, 5th edition, relocated to Battice, near Liège in Belgium. The park features a brand-new spot, the DIY SNAKE PARK.

The DIY Snake Park was born in 2022 on the site of a former SNCB station. Antony Pottier, and the local riders’ collective in Herve began building a new riding area. It now features spots that would never have been imaginable to ride. The @snakeparkdiy features rails that turn, go up and down, a chain, slide bars on springs… Super-fun kinks and curves on rails, each as surprising as the next one. But the park isn’t even finished yet! For the contest, we’re building 3 new spots that will be used to chose the best rider on the day. We’re more than sure that the spot will allow you to express your creativity to the fullest. More Photos on Lastreetrepublique.fr.
