Dominic Sagona is back!

That's right, the master of silky smooth, technical skating is back after a long hiatus due to injury. I have been a huge fan of Dominic's skating ever since I first saw him rolling around in Roces Fifth Elements in the early Videogroove days. Dom is so stylish that even when he falls it looks good. Want proof? Watch any of the Esco Zoo Media videos and you will see that his bails have a certain elegance to them. I am glad he is back to full strength and rollerbladers all over the world should be proud that we have someone making our sport look so damn good.

Chaz Sands Invitational 2010

The Chaz Sands Invitational 2010 took place earlier this month at Rampworx in Liverpool. This is one of the best rollerblading contests in Europe and each year the event raises the bar for the sport as some of the world's finest athletes compete for the all important prize money.

This year was no exception as CJ Wellsmore, Chaz Sands and Soichiro Kanashima took first, second and third place respectively with some of the most technical tricks and biggest stunts you are likely to see in any contest this year.

The video below, by Simon Mulvaney, shows exactly how high the standard was that day and makes me proud to be a rollerblader.

Mr. Fogg interview




About a month ago I met a very polite and charming young man who is currently creating music under the name Mr. Fogg. I stumbled across his album, Moving Parts, on the suggestion of a music PR friend of mine. I am usually quite skeptical whenever he sends me a CD because they can range from tolerable to downright audio torture.

However, this is one album that I am very glad I was coaxed into hearing. It impressed me so much that I decided to interview him for Amelia's Magazine. I found that, in addition to being a great multi-instrumentalist and talented song writer, Mr. Fogg is also a very friendly guy.

You can read the interview HERE.
