“This is a love letter to my skate community. Conceptualized in late July of 2024, Equilibrium is an Atlanta based edit that features much of the vibrant skating scene that continues to thrive well out of the pandemic”.
“Created by Richard Williams, SK8TL is a group that was born from the days of social distancing, and places a heavy distinction on celebrating the similarities & differences alike that are found within inline and quad skating. Please enjoy this passion project, and share to expand our city’s outreach as a magnet for wheelie-feet. Thanks to the sponsors of this project, and looking forward to a second installation for 2025”. - Richard Williams.
The Bladewave Crew’s first full length! After taking a 5 year hiatus of filming and just part time blading, I have come back with a full length. With Captains of Concrete (a skate competition in Atlanta) coming up before we knew it, the crew decided to put together something short and quick to premiere after the event. In less than 10 sessions this is what we captured. This is CRUNCHTIME! - Patrick Andersen.

Card Description: Julian Vaughn Bah - 17 years old - Atlanta, GA - 06 years of skating.
Without Wheels: When I was a little younger I liked art a lot (I still do), but I started to like skating a lot more. So I would probably be getting into something having to do with art if I didn’t skate.
Looking forward: I’m looking forward to watching skating progress and seeing all the crazy shit people will start to do a few years from now.

Gravity explores the massive uprising of blading and quads in Atlanta. “I was first introduced to the idea of this project through our infamous Thursday night skates which have attracted upwards of 100 people all coming out every Thursday night to enjoy a simple passion. It was at my first Thursday Night that made me realize that Atlanta has formed this amazing community, someone needed to document it and share it!” - Brandon Andersen.
Tom Hyser was born into the Quad culture of the rinks around Atlanta and went from rink rat to skate rat. His family’s move to the Midwest was life-changing—He first discovered inline skating there. Tom is an original X Gamer, a product visionary whose designs have sold millions of units, an internet pioneer, and through it all he’s lived the struggle of being an inline skater. On the show, we talk about the love of skate, the hate received for it, and everything in between. The podcast ends with a laugh out loud “Inappropriate Questions” segment with Andy Kruse.
