Visiting the world oldest still running skatepark: KONA! Was lucky enough to spend Christmas and new year’s with my family in Florida. I could finally try to strap my skates back on and go for the first session after my surgery which was 9 weeks ago. I used this chance of being near by and visit this historical place. Still long way to go to be fully back in full power but I’m so happy to feel skates under my feet. Hope you enjoy! - Nils Jansons.

Visit Konaskatepark.com Kona will celebrate his 45th birthday in 2022, and has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s oldest surviving skatepark.

With Grant Hazelton, Nils Jansons, Ilya Savosin, Robert Spassov, Yuto Goto Francesco Famà, Zack Pollak & Giuseppe Lunetto. Edited by Marco Valera. Motion graphic: Giuseppe Lunetto.

Filmed by Martins Jansons ; additional filming: Kaspars Alksnis, Raimonds Prusis, Karlis Didrihsons. Watch Storm here.

This year was no exception and once again I had chance to be part of Blading Camp and coach the campers from all over the globe. Thank you Josh Glowicki, Uani and everyone else who I met for the amazing week. Now it’s been over 2 months off skates because of the injury and even though I’m trying find positive things in this situation and keep it optimistic I miss skating more than anything. - Nils Jansons.

Nils Jansons is recognized as the best roller skater in the world! Is 30 years a new beginning for the next success or the end of what started at the age of 20? This mini restrospective/ interview was done for the Ghetto Games 2021 event, that took place July 23-25 (Results).

Nils Jansons is the only rider on the pro team switching between 5th Element and M12 based on what he needs to accomplish. So last fall when we started brainstorming for this new release, instead of asking which model he would prefer, I proposed to do both.

At first, everyone was a bit skeptical. Nevertheless, the feeling that having a collection instead of a single model for the first time would be cool, sunk into everyone’s mind. So, today, we couldn’t be more excited to present to you, everyone, the first-ever pro signature collection.

STORM Fifth Element & M12 shipping in the upcoming weeks.
