from Be-Mag on 4 Sep 2026

Long-time Roces Skates rider Kate Bedrata has been blessed with her very own signature skate from the Italian brand, and quickly got to work on a promotional video to show off her much-deserved new skates.

IVAN KOVTUN | TROLLERBLADING
from Be-Mag on 2 Sep 2026

Ivan Kovtun is one of inline skating’s greatest innovators, and his newest profile, hilariously titled “TROLLERBLADING” is easily his wackiest and wildest yet!

Peep Geoff’s new video and see a […]
