So 14th of February is here, a nice but rather cold Sunday, and before taking our girlfriends out, we decided to go out filming, especially now that I have a camera. This flick is a little bit different, as I tried to capture more of that day besides the tricks.


The first stop was Electronica Faculty, inside of Politehnica Campus. We only shot one line there, before the guard kicked us out. He even tried to hit us with a stick, but we owned his ass.


After that, we went to IMST, a faculty featured in a previous flick (Guys' Night Session), where we had the chance to try 2 new rails. Highlights? I'd say that Bogdan (Xplode - 16) did some sweet tricks there, he's getting better and better.

 

I'd also like to give a shoutout to Tudor, who's been skating about 2 years and laced a trick on a drop-rail. Of course, as usual, Mihai Burdusel skated chill, until he unleashed the monster with a first-try Kindgrind.

 

Hope you'll like it, even if it's a little bit too long. Stay tuned for more edits this month, camera's rolling!

So here we are again, with a short edit filmed last week in Politehnica. The story goes like this: it was a 27th January cold afternoon when Mihai Burdusel, Mili and I decided to go out rolling. It had just snowed outside so we decided to skate indoor, in a faculty of the Politehnica Campus.

After we got kicked out of the first building, we entered another one, where we had a couple of hours to shoot some clips, before a friendly guard asked us politely to leave. Damn, he even gave me a ciggarette. Cool dude.

After that, Misu attempted a soul grind on a ledge at the Politehnica subway station. He was sooo close.
Eventually, the day ended with Mili skating the Politehnica subway station square rails.

It was a really nice session, and Mili did some crazy shit which will be posted on his newest edit. Misu and I got few clips which represent the second Flick for paul.rolling.ro.

Overall, skating with Mili was a great experience , watching him rollerblading just for himself and just for the love of rollerblading, busting his ass on the journey to the perfect line and lacing a first-try 540 over a double-set of stairs surely made my day.

So below check the edit link below, don't mind the bails, no pain, no gain. This is the last edit before my final exam at school; after that I'll start filming and posting more stuff on the site, with the help of my friends.

Who would have believed it? A 630,000EUR worth skatepark was built this autumn in the Capital, and guess what, I live 5 blocks away!
The skatepark has 4 main bowls of different difficulty, several handrails, some nice concrete banks and an olliebox and it was built in less than 3 months. Unbelievable. Especially for Eastern Europe.
In my opinion, I think that this is the best thing that could've happened to the Romanian rollerblading scene, because now, the already talented bladers can practice in conditions similar to those abroad and hopefully, this is only the beginning.
Also, I'm confident regarding the future and I hope that new quality skateparks will be built in Romania, and maybe an indoor park, too, who knows ?

This was the first article on my site, I hope you enjoyed it, and until next time, here's a trick in the concrete skatepark Tineretului (shaky cam due to a screen malfunction).
