Jan WelchFace to Face Episode 1 with Robert Guerrero, a Rollerblading Legend
from Jan Welch on 5 Jun 2022

Welcome to episode 1 of Face to Face with Robert Guerrero, where we sit down together and discuss his past, present, and future in rollerblading. Robert is currently in Drummondville, Quebec, a two-hour drive from me here in Vermont, where I recently visited him to skate and create content for this channel. We sat down to reminisce on our past, discuss what he’s been up to, and find out his future. We cover how we first met and dig into his early years of skating in Austin, Texas, and San Jose, California, with people like Jason Howard, Jon Julio, Jayson Reduta, and Erick Garcia. We talk about how his first crew kicked him out and how this made him focus on becoming the best skater in San Jose. Then we go over some highlights from the two sections we filmed together in Urban Decay and DBV5 No One’s Children. We get into the misguided practice of forcing your feet in skates too small for you. Robert then reveals why he is in Quebec, where he was before, and his plans to go to Europe and stay with Ricardo Lino, Mirek from Hedonskate, and then instruct at Blading Camp in Spain. To finish the episode, we watch and react to footage I filmed of him in the mid-90s and his sections in Urban Decay and DBV5 No One’s Children.Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/thenandnowbladingPatreon members receive access to exclusive videos not available on YouTube as well as Ad-Free versions of the videos on YouTube.Make a donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=J9QHDM7G5RCYYTHEN AND NOW BLADING MERCH – https://thenandnowblading.com/shop/Episode Related LInks:Robert Guerrero on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertguerrero.earth/Jan Welch on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janericwelch/Brothers of the Blade: https://vimeo.com/90114485Desert by Jonas Hansson: https://youtu.be/Qtb_mOoqN2gMathieu Ledoux on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/user843776Order the Then And Now Blading T-Shirt: https://thenandnowblading.com/shop/Solo Inline Skate Shop Website: https://www.solo-inline.comSolo Inline Skate Shop on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boutiquesoloinline/Solo Inline Skate Shop on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Soloinlineshop/Then and Now Links:Website: http://www.thenandnowblading.comPodcast: https://redcircle.com/shows/then-and-now-blading-podcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thenandnowbladingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenandnowbladingInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/thenandnowbladingTwitter: https://twitter.com/thenandnowbladeInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/janericwelchThe gear I use for my videos: GoPro Hero 9 Black Starter Bundle – https://amzn.to/35OrhOZIVISII G2 Pocket RGB Camera Light – https://amzn.to/3wbHnzZNeewer 3 Pieces Bi-Color 660 LED Video Light and Stand Kit – https://amzn.to/3wfMXS0Fotodiox Single-Roller Roll Paper Drive Set with Wall Mount Support for Mounting 1x Paper Background Roll – https://amzn.to/3MVeT3fSavage Seamless Paper Photography Backdrop – #56 Fashion Gray (86 in x 36 ft) – https://amzn.to/3u4z4TRBlue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming – https://amzn.to/3A1PFIIRode Microphones Wireless GO II Dual Channel Wireless Microphone System – https://amzn.to/2ZQo7daRode Lavalier GO Wearable Microphone – https://amzn.to/39VeWd9GoPro Media Mod (Hero 9) – https://amzn.to/3yPe9VV GoPro Max Lens (Hero 9)- https://amzn.to/3xXmSo1Blackmagic Design Davinci Resolve Speed Editor Bundle with Davinci Resolve 17 Studio (Activation Card) – https://amzn.to/3w9Z2YNWD 5TB My Passport Ultra for Mac Silver Portable External Hard Drive HDD – https://amzn.to/3JilvXeSanDisk Extreme Pro Micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30 Memory Card (256GB) – https://amzn.to/3AGBHNl #thenandnowblading #inlineskating #rollerblading #blading #skating
