The Sporting News
So, this one is personally awesome for me. Stefan is from around the same area as I am and has been working very hard on supporting blading for years. Personally known him for a few years. He rode as an amateur for a different skate company for several years a little while ago. Unfortunately, he took a really nasty injury that forced him to quit riding as much, but he started working very hard as a filmer for other riders/projects during the time he healed. He lost his Amateur status with his sponsor at this time though.

As a result of him losing the status at the time, he switched to riding Rollerblade Solo boots at this time (really specific model of skate). I happened to not only be in the same area but also rode the same model at the time. There is one really big flaw in the Rollerblade Solo boot that one part of these skates (the soul plates)break very frequently. Despite this, it's a very responsive ride. I would always break this particular piece on my right skate, and he would also break the same piece on the left side. You could only buy both the right and left pieces together in a set when getting replacement parts. So, either time either of us would break this one particular part, we'd split the costs while I would keep the right piece, and he would keep the left one. Helped us both out.

With time, he recovered from his injury and got another sponsorship from a different boot company (Razors). As a result, we quit swapping skate parts so much. Of course, I eventually moved away also. Today it was announced he was being moved up to the Pro team from Amateur. I haven't talked with him in quite a while, but it's just really cool to see a buddy that I used to swap skate parts with all the time officially go Pro.
