Bayside Blogs

We're so lucky in this day and age to have easy access to a huge amount of skate media. Back in the early 90s when I first started skating, we could only keep updated via the latest magazine or VHS videos that were released. I vividly remember how exciting it was to read up on the latest news, check out the photos and watch the amazing progression of rollerblading with every new media release. It was so exciting and inspiring to watch progressive new tricks done by my favourite skaters over the years. I would always watch a few videos to pump myself up before going out skating with my friends.

Here's a list of some of our favourite online skaters that are a great mix of pure entertainment and instructional content.
