"Viktoria Söderholm opened PP5 with a bang. Viktoria skates different. She has style and makes little tricks look so much fun. Not that they aren’t fun at all. It was a pleasure filming her cause for me this style is still new and its interesting to figure out how to film this type of skating. Now enjoy her part with music made by herself". - Faction Skate Company.

Quoting Fabiola Da Silva:

“Wow, my first Pro Aeon from USD - this is my dream skate! I wanted to make it as beautiful as possible, starting with the color, an açaí shade inspired by the fruit I love, which is very popular in Brazil”.

“Another amazing and unique detail is the leopard-print MyFit Prime liners. I chose these liners for their maximum support and comfort. I love the combination with the leopard print. My skate also features a pink height-adjustable AEON cuff, providing the perfect flex—a great combination for all the bladies out there. I chose 45-degree straps across the instep for added support and stability, with a small lion’s face logo on top symbolizing resilience and power. For speed, my skates come with WICKED Abec 9 bearings and exclusive USD wheels (60mm, 88a), where we added my lion logo representing my gratitude to God. The USD design team and I created a skate I can truly identify with—beautiful, graceful, and powerful. It’s ready to roll straight out of the box. Enjoy skating with my Pro skate, and always remember: there are no limits for those who want to fly”. - Fabiola Da Silva.

“So the real winner today was Miami because it kicked everybody’s ass. It really was almost last man standing…” - Arlo Eisenberg.*

up: Mery Munoz at the FM Invitational, 4th edition.

Miami, Florida - October 7th, 2023. In its fourth event, The FM Invitational was high energy throughout the entire day. Kicking off with the Juniors competition, then working its way through the Bladies, to the Quads, and finishing off with the Men’s competition - each event had a strong crowd cheering everyone loudly as the celebratory screams echoed throughout Skate Bird (which is the name of the park this event is held).

A lot of great skating was happening from all different directions which sometimes makes it difficult to capture every moment so it’s always recommended to check out all the other media coverage that comes out of these events to get a sense of who did what. With that being said, Chris Edwards held down the mic and kept things in order along with special guest Arlo. It was a long day and it was a fun one. Be sure to catch the next one Saturday, Oct 26th at the same location! Cheers! - butterTV.
