Life+ 4

Bonjour, and welcome to LIFE+. 2002 was a great year LIFE+ but the 03'volume of LIFE+ will blow your mind. The best of the best from around the world of rollerblading signed, sealed, and delivered straight to you. To start things off for the year we thought long and hard who would be a great host for LIFE+ and only one name came to mind. The pioneer of rollerblading, the man who wrote the book on style, and a Legend in his own time, Arlo Eisenberg. But enough butt kissing, lets move on. Ever had a chance to see a true skate park competition between the best and baddest bladders in the world, well if you haven't now's your chance. Brian Shima and Aaron Fienberg and many more square off to battle at the 1st annual Motor City Shakedown held at the infamous Airborne skate park. SF local Kennen Scott brings you all the play by play action directly from the sideline with a no holds barred attitude. Like I said this issue is not what your expecting. How about a chance to see what happens when, rollerblader's stop being nice and start getting real. East coast VS. West coast, leave the Tupac and Bigge behind cuz no rapper could even touch this heated rivalry. LIFE+ staff members, V and James, take you to both coasts Simultaneously as the best of the best duke it out. WORDS, it's the name of the of the latest Mindgame video that defined 2002's best skating, but what's behind all the strange imagery and scripted skits? Well, LIFE+ is going to take you, behind the Words. This section includes exclusive interview footage and never-before seen clips. Only the best of the best of what rollerblading has to offer. What's next, you might ask? Does, Jeff Stockwell ring a bell? If it doesn't, let me fill you in. Jeff is one of rollerblading's young up-and-comers, the Kobe Bryant of rollerblading if you will. Spend a day with Jeff as he takes you for a whirlwind trip around his block. He literally tears a hole in the neighborhood. Now, are you ready for us to drop the hammer, well I hope so. Mathieu Heinemann. Not a name you know, until now. Leave it to the LIFE+ staff to uncover this unpolished French diamond. Mathieu came, saw, conquered and we caught it all on film for you. He only spent a week with LIFE+ kingpin Drew Bachrach but that's all he needed. Killing Los Angeles spots one piece at a time. His abilities speak for them-selves. There's a lot more inside and we don't want to give away everything now do we. So enjoy and, au revoir.
