Tim Schmidt

What are you doing this summer?
As far as skating …  I try my hardest to skate everyday, and my dog Savannah  makes that easy.  Dogblading has become a daily thing for me because it helps me bond with my K9 companion, and it makes me remember there can be something else to rollerblading besides grinding.  We have FINALLY gotten a sick concrete park ( Kokomo, IN )  within an hour from my house, so my summer plan is to keep skating there at least 3 days a week. If you check out the Be-Mag Photo Issue for 2007, you can catch Savannah’s debut shot into the freestlye rollerblading community.  

Who is the future of free-style rolling?
We are all the future of freestyle rolling.  But the kids who commit to training as well as rolling will take our sport to new levels.

What is your favorite skate destination?
Currently the Kokomo Indiana Skatepark cause it is 48 miles from my house.

What is your favorite skate event?
SUPERHICK

What kind of skates are you using?
The flavor of the week of my Remz collection is the 0401 Haffey boot setup with a custom backslide plate complimenting the large groove of the Kizer Element frame stuffed with 8 - 58mm Eulogy Wheels.

Did you go to Woodward skate camp this summer?
No, but Summer 2007 would be the 10th anniversary of my first trip to Woodward as a camper.  It is truly heaven on earth if you are a die hard skater. I am amazed at all the new stuff I see everytime I see new footage or photos. Woodward East has to be almost the size of a small college campus by now.

What is the newest music you have discovered?
“the good, the bad, and the ugly” soundtrack by Hugo Montenegro and his Orchestra.

What do you think will be the next fashion trend in free-style rolling?
Hopefully not running shorts!

What do you do when skateboarder talks smack about free-style rolling at your local skate park?
Over the years I have reacted in so many ways.  On good days I made a new friend and on bad days I ended up too frustrated to be able to focus on skating.  These day’s I have my music up so loud I can’t hear the typical skateboard monologue.  But in extreme cases I simply lay a hammer down and make rolling DAMN GOOD!  To be honest I haven’t met many skateboarders who didn’t end up getting laughed out after I whip out the textbook.  As far as the borders who can make it past the first lesson..…  they are hard  enough to be forced to have respect for what I do simply because skateboarding and rollerblading share some basic fundamentals.
