Knowing Mach Tim – Round Two
from Mike Torres on 18 Aug 2014

“When a company approaches a graphic designer and says, ‘I want you to create us a logo that we can still use in 50 years, something timeless’. That’s Tim’s skating – A timeless representation of rollerblading.”
– Brian Weis

ON HOLIDAY
from Mike Torres on 11 Jul 2014

When you’re renting a high rise apartment with marble floors, touring bad ass restaurants more than you’re touring street spots, carving out time for a beach session every day, spending a day in a rainforest sliding down waterfalls, and the poker dice are rolling more than your wheels, you gotta stop and ask yourself, is this a skate trip, or am I just on holiday?

A Weekend of Blading in Rochester (2008)
from Mike Torres on 9 Jul 2014

In 2008 I originally titled this edit “A Weekend in HD”, then proceeded to upload it to the internet at 640×360.

I was an idiot.

This was one weekend in November of 2008 back in Rochester, NY, when I was instructed by my boss to go get myself familiar with our brand new Panasonic HVX-200 (commence ooo’s and ahh’s), so I did so by doing what I did best, filming my friends blading.

The reason I kind of hold this edit near and dear, is that it was probably the first of many edits I would make where I decided to focus more on the mood of the sessions rather than the tricks that were taking place at the sessions, which resulted in longer format edits that weren’t necessarily tightly cut together, and tended to sprawl out over a few songs.

This edit features Grant Hazelton, Steve Bruning, Tim Adams, Nate Hall, Mike Demler, Chris Walker, Mike Giroud, and myself.

GONE CRABBIN’
from Mike Torres on 1 Jul 2014

I met Jeremy Lister back in 2009 while passing through Greenville, SC. I always remembered him as “the hippie dude who was freakishly good at crab-rolls”. Well, I got one of those right. He’s no hippie, but the man can crab.
