After a 10ish year hiatus BCSD is back for one more time. Everyone skated incredible and sorry to the homies who I missed your clips cause its very hard to capture truly everything but I do my best to make it quality filming and zoom and editing. I am happy with how this turned out because I worked hard and fought a lot to be able to make it so I could document these athletes. If you made it this far I am appreciative and hope you like it. Leave some love in the comments cause that’s all im asking of anyone. With all that being said click play. Enjoy. - Hawke Trackler.

Bitter Cold Showdown BCSD) is a rollerblading contest and industry trade show. It started in Indiana in 2001, moved to Ohio and then eventually found its home at Modern Skate Park in Royal Oak, Michigan in 2009. The last event was held on February 23, 2013.
Past champions include Chris Haffey, Alex Broskow, Brian Aragon, Montre Livingston, CJ Wellsmore, Erik Bailey, Sean Kelso, Billy O’Neill, Jeff Stockwell, Julien Cudot, Rory Melehan & Ben Weis. Event Founder & Organizer: Daniel Kinney. Visit Bittercoldshowdown.com.
February 25, 2023. After 10 years the Bitter Cold Showdown is happening one last time. At Modern Skatepark. An encore. One final trade show. One final contest. One final champion. And a few surprises. Let’s make it count.
Although the event is inclusive across all ages, genders, skill levels, styles & disciplines, the contest is for advanced rollerblading competitors only. Extensive competition experience is absolutely required. Unlike past events, the contest will NOT be open to all competitors. There will only be 1 advanced rollerblading contest. Do you think you have what it takes to become the last Bitter Cold Showdown champion?

The Journey To BCSD 2013 by Cody Sanders and Mick Casals - Link on Flickr.
After covering over 3000 miles in under a week from Austin, TX to Detroit, MI and back again, the journey is over. This is a small collection of pictures from our trip to the north east. This was by far the most wild, drama filled, trouble laden blade trip I have ever taken.
Tk was caught shoplifting $1.00 gloves, almost going to jail, we opted to pay the store 50 dollars to let him go. Later he destroyed the hotel ceiling tiles, almost going to jail again. We lit fireworks in the skate park, sneaked in gallons of liquor to BCSD, everyone lost all their money, a purse, their id’s, our own car and eventually our sanity when we discovered we were stranded and homeless in Chicago after a blurry weekend full of fast times.
Every photo in this set was taken in between all this calamity and more. Hope you dig. :)
