Blading Wellness Part One: Mike ‘Murda’ Johnson Interview

Roll Toronto created a series titled, Blading Wellness that covers the issues of skaters getting older and still maintaining the physical ability to continue skating. The issue is a great topic to cover and the first interviewee is Bronx, NY native Mike “Murda” Johnson. The interview took place after the MTL classic where they caught up with Mike and discussed his transition through his age and skating experiences. “This Blading Wellness series is dedicated to bringing awareness to taking care of your body. We were lucky enough to have Corey Grantham take the initiative, and seek out some pro’s at the Montreal Classic this year. First up is Mike ‘Murda’ Johnson and his take on blading wellness. Corey and I got to sit down and have a chat with him, and see what an experienced pro has to say. Watch the video, and form your own conclusions. This will be a 5 part series; we also have perspectives from Rob G, Brandon Smith, Erik Bailey, and Jon Julio. Be sure to check back for more interviews” – Roll Toronto. The audio is a bit low so make sure to turn up your volume.

Truth 2 Release Date Finalized

So the rumors of the release date of Austin Paz’s follow up, Truth 2, have been put to an end. A lot of people were expecting a back to school release date but it looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer than expected and get the Truth 2 as a Christmas gift. Based on the trailer, I’d have to say that it’ll be worth the wait. Speculations of the video being in full High Definition may be the reason why the date was pushed back as well as talks about filming full sections for each skater in the video may be a reason too. The skaters featured in Austin’s video are, Sean Kelso, Colin Kelso, Franco Cammayo, Mike Johnson, Austin Paz, Chris Cheshire, Jon Jon Bolino, Montre Livingston, Jeff Dalnas, and more.
