IVAN KOVTUN | TROLLERBLADING

Ivan Kovtun is one of inline skating’s greatest innovators, and his newest profile, hilariously titled “TROLLERBLADING” is easily his wackiest and wildest yet! Ivan takes his pro Lava boots to weird places which no one has likely thought of before, and truly pushes what is capable on (and off) skates.
Ivan’s “TROLLERBLADING” is a tour de force of improvisational madness, from plate-less soul tricks, cuff “peg” grinds, hand and shin slides, and even riding skates on the wrong feet; Ivan has truly raised the bar once again! Check the legend at work!

GP | GEOFF PHILLIP 2026

We are a bit late to the party on this one, but Geoff Phillip recently released a mind-bending new profile in support of his skate sponsor, The New Everything Company.
Geoff shot the profile primarily himself using a tripod, but the clips shown are truly groundbreaking, and Geoff’s legendary technicality is on full display. From sketchy under-bar grinds, cess-slide stair-bashes, vertical grinds, and drag-ups to grinds, Geoff comes through with arguably his most improvisational and unique profile to date, which is really saying something.

Peep Geoff’s new video and see a master at work!

Our editor Kevin M. Little spent a few months riding the skates & gives this thorough breakdown of the skates performance.

SOICHIRO KANASHIMA “GRAPHITE” THEM SKATES

THEM Skates has just awarded one of their longest-tenured riders their very own signature skate, and the prestigious model goes to none other than the Japanese legend, Soichiro Kanashima.

Ichi has been skating Them since the very beginning, and it is about time that he was awarded his very own pro model, but by the looks of the skate, it is well worth the wait! The Soichiro skates come in a sparkling graphite gray colorway that immediately catches the eye.

Peep the slick new promo video that Soichiro whipped up and be sure to pick up a pair of his new skates, which should be dropping soon!

CARLOS BERNAL COMMUNITY CUP 2026

The 2026 Community Cup Invitational has kicked off, and the next video to drop is from the Spanish stuntman, Carlos Bernal, who qualified by becoming a nominated finalist for Section of the Year for his video Animal and Trick of the Year, which he won for his huge true spin mizou on the iconic skate spot, the Forum ledges in Barcelona!
Carlos’ entry is a fearless display of gnarly drop rails, huge transfers, highly technical switch-ups, and more confidence than seems humanly possible. His video will surely give the rest of the competitors a run for their money! Peep it!

JOSIAH BLEE COMMUNITY CUP 2026

The 2026 Community Cup Invitational has kicked off, and the next video is from the wizard Josiah Blee!

JB qualified for the Community Cup Invitational by being a finalist for Skater, Section, and Trick of the Year.

That is quite the accomplishment!

In the profile, Josiah shows off his technical prowess and no switch-stance and does some rather difficult maneuvers with seemingly relative ease. Josiah also debuts some fresh new digs as well, as he can be seen riding the upcoming new aggressive model from Flying Eagle skates, which should be hitting the market soon!

Peep it!
