Pow Wow Pro/AM 10 – The One That Almost Got Away
from BUTTER TV on 29 Mar 2020

This piece was done in collaboration with some amazing people that were all together for this event. For the full article with stories and photos please visit: https://bladerunion.com/dailyblade/2020/3/28/pow-wow-10-the-official-story-of-the-weekend-that-never-was

Jacksonville, Florida — March 12th-15th 2020. A unique time for a skate contest to take place right before social distancing was implemented throughout the country. At the time, gatherings of 250 people or less were allowed so the powers at Kona skatepark held a meeting, asked a lot of questions, did a head count, and made a strict policy that if there were anymore than 250, the competition would be shut down instantly. A social media blackout policy was also instilled to deter people from showing up so no one knew, asides from us that were there, that the event was even happening—which made it special in its own way. In one aspect, Pow Wow 10 felt like one last hurrah before this pandemic takes us all into harder times. Skating and cheering in the Florida sunshine while people are cooking burgers and dogs on their grills and throwing back a few beers, add to that, some amazing live music performances and you have yourself a Pow Wow. Always a good time seeing everyone and after we make it through this pandemic we’ll get together and do it all again. We have to right? Because Pow Wow 11 is coming March, 2021! Cheers!

Action Figures: Brian Freeman – Oakland Dreams
from BUTTER TV on 2 Feb 2020

“The thing that’s most important is fucking trying.” —BFree

Oakland, California — November 2018. What you may have heard about Brian ‘BFree’ Freeman is true. The man is full of passion and carries that magic with him wherever he goes. Shot at the end of 2018; this piece serves more as a prequel to some of the things he’s accomplished today, one of which is running a full time business with his BFree Blading Academy. What’s inspiring about BFree is that he never has an excuse and is constantly pushing forward, not only in rollerblading, but as a family man which is a reflection of his character and how he conducts his lessons for the youth.

During our shoot, California was experiencing massive fires where homes were destroyed and lives were lost. The typically blue skies were gray and the air quality was extremely poor. BFree still managed to get a solid piece together and show off what his days consist of. He did it all with a smile and, even under some of the worst circumstances, he maintained his positivity and again, continued to keep moving forward. Dreams come true if you’re dedicated and willing to put the work in. Cheers!

Special thanks to Ivan Narez for allowing me to stay at his place during the shooting of this piece.

from BUTTER TV on 22 Jan 2020

“…I want y’all to figure out what it is for next year cuz it just gets more and more and more; and you know where all that support comes from? From all of you!” —Montre Livingston

Charlotte, North Carolina — December 6th-7th 2019. Montre Livingston teamed up with OSO Skatepark (A fun sized park tailor made for blading an infinite number of lines) to host their 2nd annual QCKC event. The south has always been a place of amazing hospitality and this was nothing short of that; two days of cheers, beers, and good vibes along with Montre’s energetic presence on the microphone. Shout out to everyone that was there and the positivity that you all produced. Special thank you to Montre, Kiersten, and family. Cheers!

Blading Cup 2019: We Are Generations
from BUTTER TV on 8 Jan 2020

“Take this vibe we’re feeling right now and text a homie that hasn’t bladed in a while, start a monthly or weekly session. If two people show up and you post a picture, next week, four people show up. And if they need wheels, give them some used wheels. And pretty soon we’re gonna have regular sessions in cities all across the world—and the Blading Cup next year, which will be the tenth annual, could be even bigger!” — Matt Mickey

Santa Ana, California – November 1st-2nd, 2019. As a native from the northeast, Blading Cup truly is a destination weekend. Another year with two full days of skating in Downtown Santa Ana’s East End with 160 competitors from all around the world—21 countries to be exact however, what really made Blading Cup special this year wasn’t just about the global presence but the multiple generations that skated alongside one another. Those who started the culture, to the ones who took it to the next level, to the pros of today, and lastly, the next generation of enthusiastic skaters. It was an event filled with nostalgia and a good glimpse into the future. As always, big thanks to Jon Julio and co. for putting together another amazing event and huge shout out to everyone who was there.
