Kevin Dowling and Jamie Olmstead Premiere Footage Tape

Kevin Dowling and Jamie Olmstead have premiered their project titled, Footage Tape, which is an online high definition web series that has set the standards for any piece of online media dedicated to rollerblading. Not only does Footage Tape provide great footage of some of rollerblading’s top pros doing the sickest tricks with multiple angles but it covers each section as a news report which is refreshing to see. This first episode is approximately 31 minutes long and is better than most videos that are out now. Footage Tape provides great coverage on the Panhandle Pow Wow and the Boots, Burgers, and Hammers competition as well as scene reports on Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and New York City.

The NYC report rounds off the video. Saving the best for last? I think so. Kevin opens up the NYC section showing his love for our scene, and the I Roll NY site (I love you Kevin!) as well as dedicating the opening footage to our lost friend Brian “Cozmik” Scott which I’m truly grateful for. The NYC footage goes on to cover one of our many Lets Roll NY sessions, our Last Man Standing competition, and various pros skating our city. Thank you to Kevin and Jamie for not only representing our local scene amazingly, but rollerblading in general amazingly. Please show your support, just how Kevin has, and visit the Footage Tape website. “FootageTape is the first ever HD online rollerblading web series created by Kevin Dowling and Jamie Olmstead. This episode features skating from the likes of David Sizemore, Julian Bah, Michael Braud, Rob Guerrero, Tim Taylor, Adam Mcmanus, Montre Livingston, Billy Oneill, Adam Ehalt, Walt Austin, Jon Jon Bolino, Chris Smith, Cody Porche, Jon Ortiz and more” – Footage Tape.

Denial Team Video: Underestimated

Underestimated is truly one of the best East Coast videos and team videos of all time. It was great for it’s time and even great to watch now. It’s still one of the few videos that I can constantly watch over and over again and still get hyped to go and skate. The Denial team video includes spots all over the east coast including Philadelphia and New York City of course with all of your modern day East and West Coast heroes including, Will Gordon, Chris Cheshire, Walt Austin, Mike Elias, Jimmy Shuda, Adam Killgore, Tim Taylor, Chris Farmer, Colin Kelso, Sean Kelso, Rob Thompson, and New York City’s own Dustin Hallerin. I wanted to feature Underestimated on I Roll NY not only because of the fact that it is a great video but it also features some of the greatest tricks done in our local Spots. Chris Farmer and Rob Thompson absolutely murder the John Bowne rails in Queens, NY and at 3:33 into the video Chris Farmer kills the Stuyvacent Rail in Manhattan, NY with a 360 inspin soul. As well, Dustin Hallerin represents and laces everything imaginable at every spots he skates. Check the full video above. Filmed and edited by Chris Majette.
