the best sport of all time.
It has some other cool skaters as doubles too.

from rollerblade.com

This petite Brazilian girl is dominating the scene on and off the ramps with her moves, her image and her style. She performs runs in the halfpipe like no other female skater and the boys should be grateful that Fab only occasionally takes part in the men’s competitions. This year she has won the X Games for the x time and the Gravity Games for the xx time. She has just been to the gym and is on her way to do some skating. Then the phone rings.

RB: Hi Fabiola, how are you?
Fabiola: I’m fine.
RB: You have been the undisputed leader of the female inline skating scene for years now. Are there any skaters who could challenge you in the future?
Fabiola:: Oh, there’s people, you know! All the girls on the tour are capable of beating me. I have my bad days too.
RB: Well, your results don’t really say so but anyway… Which skater has inspired you most?
Fabiola: Hmm, Arlo Eisenberg, Chris Edward, Cesar Mora – I can’t name them all, it’s a long list.
RB: No girls?
Fabiola: You know back in the days there weren't so many girls skating, and the ones I really looked up to were guys.
RB: We are used to seeing you win X-Games and Gravity Games. But we were really amazed by your result at the ASA Pro Tour Stop in Nashville: 3rd place – in the guys‘ contests. Is it a special pleasure to beat the guys?
Fabiola: I didn’t even think about that. I was skating a lot before this competition and I just wanted to put a good run together and go home. (Laughing)
RB: And you don’t care about the sleepless nights you gave the guys?
Fabiola: You know, it's just fun. Many people think the boys don't give enough credit to the girls, don't know what they're capable of doing, but I just don't care about this. I keep pushing the limits, you know.
RB: How do the boys behave in general when you’re on the ramp with them?
Fabiola: You know, we're all friends, we help each other.
RB:Have you ever been chatted up on the ramp?
Fabiola: No, no. No problem.
RB: A word about boys in general…
Fabiola:I’d say: dangerous, fun, complicated.
RB: That’s what many guys would say about girls…On a different subject: you look quite severe when you’re on the ramp.
Fabiola:You know, every time I skate, I'm having fun, but I take what I do seriously, and when I'm skating I just want to make sure I'm doing a good job.
RB: How do you feel about being second, like at the Gravity Games, when you were beaten by your team-mate Martina Svobodova?
Fabiola:That's cool. When you compete, you have to be prepared to win or lose. And I'm happy because this was a chance for somebody new. Martina deserved it, she did a great run.
RB:A word about Martina?
Fabiola: Oh, she definitely has a great future as a skater, I wanted her to stay with us in California, she's a really nice girl, she's cool. But this appears to be a bit of a problem as she is still in school. (after a pause) I think she's the next one!
RB: And when will you stop skating?
Fabiola: Never, never. (laughing)
RB:What’s your hardest trick at the moment?
Fabiola: Hmm, the hardest… with the flatspin 540 I'm in trouble sometimes.
RB: And your dream trick?
Fabiola:The 900, I haven’t managed it yet, but I'm working on it.
RB: And what are your plans for 2001?
Fabiola: Keep skating, pushing the limits, having fun and make sure I represent Rollerblade well.
RB:And in the long term?
Fabiola: Uh, long term… the same thing!
RB: Good luck and thank you for your time .

FABIOLA da Silva isn't where you might expect.
Only 19, Fabiola da Silva (with her Yorkshire terrier, Chachi) has won the past three X Games gold medals in in-line vert. The Brazilian diva of aggressive in-line skating, who will be the best woman in the world at ESPN's Summer X Games this month in San Francisco, isn't living in Venice Beach. She isn't crashing in a loft in Manhattan's East Village. She isn't hanging in Rio de Janeiro.
She's in the upstairs bedroom of a quiet townhouse, surrounded by a white picket fence, in mellow Santa Rosa.
Fabiola -- like Brazilian soccer stars Ronaldo and Pele, she doesn't need a last name -- occupies a small room dominated by an ultra-girlie canopied bed. She shares the space with a Sony PlayStation, a stuffed Minnie Mouse and a very live Chachi, a tiny Yorkshire terrier who wears a silk bow in her hair.
Fabiola, 19, rolls her 5-foot-2 frame off the princess bed and slips into baggy boys' pants that she wears over long boys' boxer shorts. She pulls a gray sweatshirt over her scraped elbows, slings her skate bag over her shoulder and goes to work.
She drives to the west side of Santa Rosa, steering her car into a pitted, weed-infested parking lot alongside a metal warehouse. A quarter of the building is still used for storage. The warehouse workers drive forklifts and peer with interest through the chicken-wire barrier at the action on the other side.
There, a small group of boys, all about 17, have gathered. They wear the same baggy garb as Fabiola. Some have bleached white hair. They wolf down fast-food. And they lace up skates.
The warehouse ceiling drips cobwebs. The atmosphere is dank. But the attraction is the labyrinth of swooping plywood ramps -- shaped like half a pipe.
This is why Fabiola is in Santa Rosa. This run-down building is a skater's nirvana.
Fabiola puts on her helmet, climbs 10 feet up a metal ladder in her skates, secures Chachi atop the platform and steps off the edge, seemingly into midair.
She flies down the halfpipe ramp and up the other side like a small bird. Tinkerbell with wheels. Her skates barely make a sound. When she pulls her lithe body up in the air for a 360 turn and grab, it appears effortless. The boys watch. Then they drop in, with a loud bang, a heavier, clunkier style.
``I like to skate with boys,'' Fabiola says. ``I am not discriminating against girls. But sometimes girls say, `Oh, I can't do that. I'm a girl.' ''
She wrinkles her pierced nose in disdain.
``I hate it when they say that,'' she yelps. ``I want to die when they say that.''
Fabiola started skating with the boys on the streets of Săo Paulo when she was 8. Her dad gave her a pair of roller skates against her mother's wishes. Fabiola tagged along to a neighborhood skate park.
``When I started, it wasn't like girls were dropping in from the ramp,'' she said. ``The guys teach me. That's how I learn stuff. I thought it was so fun. I just wanted to be good.''
Her mother, a former rough-and-tumble kid herself, quickly saw how much her daughter loved to skate. She saved money from her job as a housekeeper and, two years later, presented Fabiola with a pair of in-line skates. Because of Brazil's inflation, the skates cost $500. Fabiola started to go to a bigger skate park in the city.
When in-line pioneer Chris Edwards came to Brazil for an exhibition, Fabiola was invited to skate. She made an impression. A few months later, she was invited to tour in the United States and participate in the 1996 X Games in Rhode Island. A skate shop sponsored her trip.
``I was so excited,'' she said. ``Everything was so cool. I kept saying, `Wow, everyone speaks English. Wow, I'm in the U.S.A. Wow, all these people can skate.' ''
She was only 15 when she got here. She won the gold medal and established herself as the best female skater.
Her performance caught the attention of Rollerblade, an in-line skating equipment manufacturer, which began sponsoring her. ``I had no idea,'' she said. ``They would pay you money to skate?''
Her mother insisted that she finish school. So Fabiola -- who hopes to be a veterinarian -- continued her life as a normal Brazilian teenager, interrupting it five times a year to go on tours in Europe, Australia or the United States. She won in-line vert gold medals at the X Games in 1997 and 1998. She will be shooting for her fourth consecutive gold at the competition, which runs from June 25 through July 3.
``The pressure has been on her from the start to be the best,'' said Azikiwee Anderson, her roommate.
Fabiola met Anderson, 24, and his girlfriend through skating. Anderson built the Santa Rosa skate park, which he calls Seven Sunz. He works as a judge and consultant in the world of in-line skating.
When Fabiola finished school, she moved to the United States. Anderson and his girlfriend invited her to live with them. The sponsors liked the idea because Anderson could watch out for her. Fabiola liked it because of access to the skate park and because ``I started liking this guy,'' skater Jon Julio, 22, from Milpitas. Pictures of her boyfriend adorn her room.
Fabiola has a devoted following. There are several Web sites dedicated to the skater. One was created by Meranda Suffield, 16, of Washington.
``When I saw girls doing this crazy stuff that the guys were doing, it really interested me,'' Suffield said via e-mail. ``Girls have to work harder just to show they are capable of pulling off the same stuff that the guys are.''
Fabiola, here training at a warehouse in Santa Rosa, is sponsored by Rollerblade and The Gap and can make up to $70,000 a year. Though the X Games are portrayed as new-age sports -- individual, unstructured and creative -- female athletes are fighting the same old battles. Prize money for women is $5,000, half of what men can win. Women have access to a fraction of the competitions of male skaters.
Anderson said the in-line world tends to be run by guys who aren't the most enlightened in the world and who frequently dismiss girls' ability.
``Fab takes all that away,'' he said. ``She can skate as hard as most guys or better. To skate, you have to wear baggy clothes and put bumps and bruises all over your body and have society look at you as a tomboy. But it will pay off in the future.''
In her best year, Fabiola can earn perhaps $70,000 (again, about half what the top men can make). She has a variety of sponsors, including The Gap, whose clothes she wears while competing.
She's famous in her own alternative sports world, which continues to grow.
``All the younger kids want to be cool, and all the older kids want to be young,'' Anderson said.
At competitions, fans gather around Fabiola. But she downplays her impact.
``It is so ugly on people, having a big head,'' she said. ``You should be simple. I'm not like (Michael) Jordan. I'm just like everybody else.''
But Fabiola could be her sport's Jordan. She has the look, the fearlessness, the ability, the coveted demographic. And no promoter could dream up a better name -- Fabiola!
If the X Games are truly the sport of the new millennium, they couldn't ask for a more appealing face than Fabiola's.

INTERVIEW S TAIGOM :

So when did you start skating?
I first started quad skating when I was six years old. Just skated everywhere, then started doin' tricks along the way and building jumps. I didn't see a half pipe until I was 15 - it was love at first sight. But I didn't get to try inline until I was 21 and then it happened really quickly. I got my first contract after my first comp and suddenly everything changed. I was travelling, I had to learn English real quick! It was a dream. I thought inline would only be around for a couple of years. Now it's my life.

What about the vid game?
That was a big step. After the Dave Mirra game, everyone hoped that inline would be next and I was approached by Acclaim last year which was unreal! It's the first inline skate game and I really got involved in the development, the characters, motion capture editing, all of it. We wanted to make it as real as possible, so there are no impossible tricks, just real tricks. And each character has an ultimate trick - mine is the double backflip, of course.

I've heard that as well as skating you also run a skate shop, go salsa dancing, free dive and act. Is this true?
Yeah, I like to do all kinds of stuff as well as skate. My dad was a theatre actor and I've started acting too. Last year, I started to think about what other career I could have as well as inline. I love to do creative stuff and started acting classes. Now I have a coach and am in two movies that will be released later this year. I can't tell you much right now but the director is Philip Dusol. Watch out for them! I'm not skating in them 'cos I don't want to be typecast.

Why is inline seen as not being as cool as skateboarding and bmx?
Yeah, that's a problem sometimes. Well, inline is a new sport and so most of the pro skaters are young. Skateboarding and BMX are older sports with pros in their later twenties and thirties. They've got experience and their sport has matured. Inliners were initially seen as just being immature kids, also, the level of skill was not as high at first, so it was seen as being easy. All that has changed now and inline was given big respect at the X Games last year. But there's still an attitude against inliners. If you are in a skate park on your own, you're not made to feel welcome. I want to fight this attitude.

How are you planning to do that?
Well, this year I have been working on lots of tricks and plan to prove that inline is as extreme as other sports. First I'm gonna try and break the vert record. I'll build a quarter pipe twice as high as normal, more than six metres high. I want to get higher than previous records in any sport. I'll do this in Las Vegas or at the Gravity Games. Next I'm building a special ramp that looks real weird, has never been built before and is seven metres high. It's gonna blow people's minds and I'll be the first to use it, probably at the X Games. Finally I'm in training for a new trick. One that hasn't been done before in any sport, not even gymnastics! It's a special spin and I'm gonna do that at the Gravity Games too. After all of this, inline won't be seen as easy any more.

What's the most expensive thing you've bought?
Hmm ... I'm not a materialist, don't want a big car, don't want to show off. If I spend money on expensive things it's for my job. I have a good mobile phone and laptop and camera and stuff. If I spend one thousand dollars, I feel bad 'cos some people don't earn that in years. So, I'm not happy throwing money around. Also, I support my family and like to think about everybody, not just myself

world class aggressive inline skater

FRANKY MORALES

About Franky Morales
Birth Date - May 3, 1983
Current Home - Miami, Florida USA
Nationality - United States
Height - 5' 7"

Aggressive pro skaters Franky Morales and Katie Ketchum at the 2004 Los Angeles X Games on August 7, 2004.

Franky is the XG VII bronze medalist who has had a few set backs in 2002. With inconsistent comp results and foot surgery mid-season, XG VIII will present a challenge in order to hold onto his medal position. He has a freestyle squatting approach to his grinds and spins, reminiscent of style masters Jon Julio and Louie Zamora. His style of dressing stems from the Hip Hop fashion. His dred locks, gold teeth and the way he wears his pants fastened below his butt, which shows off his boxers, is unique among AIL pros.

Commenting on his competition results, "I don't think it's about the end result. As corny as it sounds, it's how you play the game. If I have fun at it, then I've won

...Aaron Feinberg...

evo osim alexa, zakon mi je i aaron... pa eto nesto i o njemu...

Name: Aaron Benjamin Feinberg
Birthdate: June 27, 1981
Born: Gainsville, Florida
Hometown: Portland, Oregon
Skating since: 1994
Favorite Food: Lobster
Favorite Color: Black
Favorite Group: The Beatles

Aaron je na svoj 16. rodendan osvojio zlato na x gamesu...evo sto je rekao...

In skating, nobody looks at your age," he said. "Every once in a while I get picked on, but it's no big deal."
The crowd of thousands busted out the "Happy Birthday, Aaron" tribute to the champion as he enjoyed his victory lap on his fellow competitors shoulders. "That was great. I was so embarrassed."
"This is an awesome birthday," Feinberg said, with a hoard of photographers clicking on his every expression. "I went out there and had fun. That's all I know how to do. I didn't plan anything I did out there."
Feinberg says he didn't get a car or his driver's license yet, but he did get gold, and that was the best present he could've received.
"It's the only thing I wanted," he said. "I got it."
----------------

Evo i 1 interview s Aaronom...nisam stavila cijeli, par pitanja sam maknula al ono najvaznije cete saznat...btw. interview je od christine s angelfire-a

Me: OK, so do you want to start the interview?
Aaron: It's for the web site?
Me:Yeah..
Aaron:OK! Sure, go ahead
Me:Oh, OK, so what have you been up to lately??
Aaron:Um....Well, for the last month, I've been in Europe just traveling and you know, going to contest, skatin for Salomon.
Me: Oh, that's cool, how has that been??
Aaron: It's been pretty cool...like we traveled (laughs) around Europe just skating street together and going to the contest just doing the usual stuff!
Me: Yeah! So, who are your inspirations in skating right now??
Aaron: Um....Well, I guess my favorite skaters are Dustin & Jon Julio and Brian Shima and actually when I was in Europe, I was watching Wilfried Rossignol skate and he was skating really good, so yeah..those guys are inspirations.......
Aaron: But, it's like, I don't really like sweat anyone too much, I just, I just watch people skate and like I get inspiration from all kinds of people just by looking at that stuff.
Me: Oh, OK! Um...So, Why did you start skating in the first place????
Aaron: Um...Um...Well, it seemed to be like the cool, trendy thing to do and my best friend, when I lived in Miami..he got a pair of skates, so I bought a pair just to copy him...we went rollerblading and we learned stuff and got into it, we had a good time trying little tricks and stuff and then one day, we..a..we saw some kids like riding down the stairs and jumping over them and stuff, We were pretty amazed by it, Then we just got into the whole quote on quote "AGGRESSIVE SKATING SCENE".
Me: Yeah!! ...OK, so where do you enjoy skating the most???
Aaron: Uhhhhmmm.....Well, right now I enjoy skating street more than skating,skate parks, not anywhere in particular, just as long as I'm skating with like friends that I like.
Me: Yeah, cool!
Me: What do your parents think of your skating???
Aaron: They're very supportive, they have been like from the beginning.
Me:They are? That's so cool!
Me:OK, so what has skating done for you as a person???
Aaron: As a person??.....I guess it's introduced me to the world.
Me: Has it made you like more responsible and stuff? Aaron: Yeah, it's made me grow up fast and it's given me the opportunity to see the world, meet a lot of people and (laughs) make money and stuff.
Me: Uh huh....Ok, um..What goes through your head right before you begin a run??
Aaron: Um......let me think....I was just at a contest a couple days ago...What goes through your head??....Nothing Really!
Aaron:Just like I try to keep my mind clear and just get ready to drop in and basically it's like trying to go over my run I guess...and just whatever I'm gonna do, just try to make it as easy as possible.
Me: YEAH? Like, does the crowd ever distract you or anything??
Aaron: No, not really, I can't really think of a time that the crowd has really distracted me.

Me: Oh, OK!
Aaron: I mean it's not the crowd in particular, It's just how big of an event it is, like the X-GAMES or something, the crowd is huge!!! I guess it has a part of like making you a little extra nervous.
Me: Yeah, um..So, what has been your best tour experience so far????
Aaron: My what??(laughs) like, like, like a tour that I've been on???
Me: No! Just like any place that you've been to?
Aaron: Oh...um...ahhhhh, I don't really know, I've gotten to go to a lot of excellent places this year. I guess I like, a like England and Spain and like Amsterdam, like those places in general.
Aaron: I don't know, I haven't really had a particular stop that I really loved a lot.
Aaron: I liked the Lausanne contest though! There's a bunch of contests in Europe, so you kinda wanna go home already, but it's a cool contest!
Me: OK, how did you feel about your results in the X-GAMES? I heard that you weren't like feelin' the course, is that true???
Aaron: Yeah, I wasn't really feelin the course during my run...everyone was kinda having trouble with it cause it was like this really big course and it was hard to keep a fast pace on to do the harder tricks, it was kinda set up weird.
Me: That sucks...You still did good though!
Aaron: I was happy with my run, but I wasn't able to accomplish my run (laughs)
Me: eI thought you did good man, I mean you got 3rd, you kicked (_l_) man!
Aaron: You think I did good??
Me: YEAH! TOTALLY!
Me: OK, you say you have the same respect for boarder as you do inliners, right??
Aaron: Um, I don't really think about it that much, but I don't have any disrespect for them, I don't know about the same respect but I, I respect everyone like personally as an individual, so I don't really classify people as a skateboarder or a rollerblader.
Me: Oh, OK...there have been some rumors that like you and Sam Fogarty don't get along, is that true????
Aaron: I've never heard that before, did you hear that like on the web??
Me: YUP!
Aaron: Well, I don't really know the guy that much, like we're not buddies or anything, but...I don't know...
Me: Yeah, is there anybody like in particular that you choose to skate with???
Aaron: Um....Um....Well, I'm good friends with Shayne Skower, I like hanging out with him and I like skating with my friends in Portland and with like Team Salomon

Me: What has been your worst injury in Skating??
Aaron: Um..when I first started rollerblading, I, I fell on my head really hard, but that was before I even knew about aggressive skating...So, it's kind of hard to even think about it as like a rollerblading accident, but it was.
Aaron: I was in a coma for like a day or so..
Me: Alright Aaron, I want to thank you so much for this awesome oppurtunity!
Aaron: Sure, no problem!
Me: Ok, well I'll talk to you later...
Aaron: Bye...
Me: Bye...

evo i jednog interviewa sa sk8erske stranice, casopisa sa alexom...malo je stariji al je super....

JAMES PAGE:How did rollerblading start for you ?
Alex: Thats kind of funny because when I was about 8 I used to chill with my brother at this skateboard shop and one day they started to carry rollerblades and I begged my dad to buy me some and then I started to jump off stairs..
JP: Why do you think people classify you as a park skater?
Alex: I dont think people really do but if they do I guess thats ok..I mean I do like skating park but i would call myself more of a street skater.
JP:So what do you say about people who think parks are not cool and are not real core skating?Alex: I have never heard anyone say that but if they did I would say they're kinda dumb because rollerblading is rollerblading no matter where you do it, and you should love rollerblading for what it is and not where it is done. But I would have to say that street skating is iller… haha.
JP:Do you think living outside of California has a big impact on pursuing a professional career?
Alex: Yeah I do. And it doesnt help that I live in one of the worst spots in Florida for skating, but when i am back home in Kansas City it is better because of better spots to skate and what not and so forth.
JP:Some of your income is from doing stunt work in movies and commercial, what are your best and worst experiences?
Alex: Haha, I have never done any stunt work or movies or commercial work but that would be ill if I did. I have done some demos that I have gotten paid for doing and those are always fun.
JP:You're in videos, mags and you've been doing good in pro contest for the last two years, but no pro model or even ads from your board sponsor. How do you feel about this or is it your choiseAlex: I just turned pro this yeart and since I broke my leg 5 years ago that doesnt help but i should be back around summer time and im looking forward to being in some pro comps.
JP:Many poeple think a board with your name on it is a major component to evelating your pro status.
Alex: Yeah if you had a pro skate i am sure you would feel really good about it and that would make your name a lot bigger so it does sure elevate your status.
JP: Whats a good day for ALEX?
Alex: A good day for me would be a day filled with ill street skating… no drama and just chilling with all my niggas and having a good old time..
JP: ANY LAST WORDS?
Alex: Yeah but I dont really have any words i just want to thank some people. I would like to thank Be-mag.com, James Page, all my family for supporting me, Adam Johnson and Brenton Wheeler, everyone back home in Kansas Fucking city, all the fools doown in Fame( Miami), and all the up and coming cats in t2e, my sponsors Rollerblade, Kevin Gillian for hooking me up with flow on Senate. Jeff Belzeski, Jeromy Morris and Jeremy Rockwell for basically getting rolllerblading started in Kansas city. And i would like to send a huge thanks to Ben Baptiste because he really helped me a lot last sunday when i broke my leg and he is probably one of my best friends right now. Also i want to thank all other people for hepling me when i needed it. Love all. Peace. Stay up. KFC bitch!!
