Adam Armstrong from Empir3 Distribution:
As we not only grow as individuals, but as a company in the sports and apparel industry we are taking on new and exciting endeavors such as owning and operating boutiques, art galleries, as well as expanding in the rolling industry. As of late, we have started the transformation of collaborating within the industry to facilitate these changes and to find out what rollerblading can be as a cultural experience. In that respect, Empire is excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with artists like Eric Otto and others for the up and coming lines New Leaf, and D-S of San Francisco. Also, we have been getting a great response on the new Heat and Able spring and summer 08’ lines, and we are excited about the direction that these clothing lines are going too. In addition to that, Able will have pro frames for Fabiola, Cameron Card, and Soichiro that will be matched with our new flat hardware. The big news for our popular Heat wheels is that a new line will be coming soon. It is rumored that Tory Treseder, the owner/designer of Heat is feverishly testing new urethanes, working hard on the new line of wheels and has been scheduled to drop them later this year.
The turn out was insane! Around 100 people, doubling our turn out from last year! We had some great spots including some great skating! We were fortunate to have the likes of Spira and Aragon hit this up as well! Along with some other big name locals! It was fun.
This spot was interesting. We put some wood down over a 3 set so we could ramp up to the rail. The thing is, none of us are great ramp builders! The ramp had a lot of spring and would just about flip people up to the rails! Oh well, we weren’t there for too long before a Cop showed up and kicked us out. This was a funny story. Picture a group of 8-10 rollerbladers, at least this is all you can see as you approach the scene of the crime. As you get closer and can see around the corner, you see you are out numbered. This was what happened to this police officer. He just stood there not knowing really what to do. He had gotten out of his car to tell us to get out. He didn’t even say a word. Just stood there dumbfounded. We all left making him sweat a little as the massive group passed by. HAHA!
