Released in 2011, Ground Control came to define a years worth of achievement from the blading community. Featuring a strong roster of talent from the team itself and directed by Simon Mulvaney, this film tells a story of the frames beneath the feet of every GC rider.
The final section of the film, Episode 12 shows us exactly why Brian Aragon is considered one of the greatest bladers our sport has ever seen. Switch grinds, flips, insane switch ups, huge gaps, all executed with flawless style.

We started Ground Control in order to fill a void in the industry. Skating had evolved into a high impact stunt orientated art form and the frames on the market wouldn’t hold up to our rolling. We needed a frame that the elite pro’s could trust under their boots, a frame that allowed them to continue to push the envelope. After months of working with a structural engineer and CAD designer we released not only the first after market UFS frame but the industries first symmetrical frame as well. The standard was set and GC was born.
My close friend Chris Peel helped me put together the logo. I wanted something that we (the rollerbladers) would recognise each other by. From across a crowd in any given airport or park the blade would serve its purpose. The GC sickle was designed to be your flag, like a secret handshake it only belongs to those who just ‘get it’. I’m proud to have had such an elite team over the years and be involved in such an eclectic industry. The current roster has given their blood for this film so do them the favor and soak it up. Enjoy the trip.

With the film coming to a close, Episode 11 gives us a brief insight into the insanity that is Joey Chase’s blading. From massive gaps and huge kinks, to incredible switch ups and tech tricks, we see just why Joey is considered one of the best street skaters in the world.

Episode 9 highlights the insane trick vocabulary of one of the most iconic bladers of all time; Julian Bah, all executed with breathetaking style and precision. Shot entirely in sun soaked San Diego and Las Vegas, we get a glimpse of what it is like to party and blade with the man himself.
