"started this little project on T-day for my fam to see what i've been up to. After pulling teeth to find these clips its clear that i haven't been doing much skating, or much filming but here's a tad bit of me ranging from 2006-2008."

Ado produced a great edit making a lot of great changes from when he first showed me it. He also labeled each spot he's skating in the video so everyone can go and skate the same spots. This idea is something that I Roll NY would like to expand on. If you have any edits you'd like to see put up here send us a message via myspace. Check out his true miszou at Colombus Circle and his royale transfer at Union Square and give him major props because I believe he's the only one so far to have done both. He also does a sick a fishbrain at Monkey Ledges and yours Truly filmed his 540 gap.

Valo 2.5 Premiere in NYC Review

I was lucky enough to make it out to the Valo 2.5 premiere last night at the Haven Art Gallery in the Bronx and it was definitly worth the trip. The almost 2 hour train ride from Brooklyn definitly proved worthy when I was welcomed by almost every roller in the NYC area. There were at least 100 rollerbladers, including Austin Paz, Billy O'Niel and Nick Riggle, along with many supporters in the venue which was tucked away in an almost abandoned block. Besides the main premiere there were also showings of Skeptic Media's new video trailer, which should be out just in time for BitterCold, a viewing of the Last Man Standing DVD trailer, and The Truth II trailer.
Valo 2.5 definitly proved worthy of an NYC viewing. The filming, coverage, editing and music selection were all on point. Each section was greeted with a bunch of OOH'S and AHH'S from the crowd but one team rider's section stood out amongst the others and that would be Alex Broskow's section. I have to say that his section was highly impressive and definitly shocked the crowd. The video set up a great vibe which added to the crowds "buzz" from their drink/smoke of choice. After wards I stopped by shortly to the after party that was a mere two blocks away and got to hang out with everyone for a bit. The mood eventually died down and everyone seemed to be trying to sober up for their train ride home. All in all it was a great night in NYC. It was definitely a blessing to see a lot of New York rollers assembling together to show their love and support and to catch a free showing of a great dvd. Go and get your copy of Valo 2.5 as soon as you can. It's a definite must buy.
Pics will be up soon and an edit featuring some of Valo's team riders, clips from the video, and the crowd's reviews will be up soon. Thanks to Ray Mendez from noise maker media for setting up this whole event along with Havens Art Gallery for providing the facility.
