Kevin Dowling, a.k.a. K-Dirty, has been rollerblading for over 10 years. He has a good eye for style, which makes for an amazing video. Kevin grew up in the rollerblading generation that consumed the Video Groove video magazine series. The Dirty Show DVD has a hint of VG style with a hot new twist. You won’t find yourself bored with the typical ledge, rail, ledge, rail, type skating. Skaters like Walt Austin shred strange spots from banks to rail road ties. Walt is one of the all time best rollerbladers ever. It’s great to see him still pushing it, and even taking it to a level beyond.

Adam Ehalt provides all the insane rail skating that you can dream up. If rails are your thing, Adam Ehalt is your king. Rob Guerrero came all the way from Cali to film with Dowling for three weeks in the ATL. As you will see, Rob absolutely killed it in a short time span. Rob’s section is full of smooth, fast, and powerful skating. Mike Martinho’s section has some real bangers. Martinho makes rollerblading look easy and watching his section gets the hype flowin’. Kevin told me I’ve been skating good lately and he wanted to make a section for me, so we did. It’s cool to make a section after 17 years of rollerblading. Hopefully you’ll dig what the Hys laid down. Adam McManus is a new-jack on a mission. His section is popping and he flosses to Beck, making each grind end with a steezer kick. Adam skates with Tim Taylor. Time
Taylor is another true master of rolling. Watch as Tim spins with the illest style and creates new grinds. Tim Taylor! SP amateurs Chris Smith and Carson Starnes have some clips that will remind you that there is no time to sleep. These guys are the next level in technical stunt skating. At the same time there is a surprising section by Jamie Olmstead in the Dirty Show. Jamie has been skating and filming for years. His section may not be huge death stunts, but it has some great innovative moves and good style. It’s a section that reminds you that there’s more to skating than trying to go HUGE. Have a good time and stay fresh and innovative. There are a bunch of other rollerbladers in this video that are amazing. Michael Braud, Andy Kruse, Andrew Jacuzzi, Sexy David (who answers our phones at Skatepile.com), Kevin Dowling himself, Julian Bah, Franco Camayo and more….

This video is worth every penny. K-Dirty busted out with heart on this project, support the Dirty Show and he’ll keep giving your more of what you like. Due to some of the graphic nature of the Dirty Show DVD we do have to give this video an R rating.

From the first time I heard about the Santee Crew I was somehow drawn to the insanity. Like a fan of Ozzy or something. These guys live by the “FID” lifestyle, skating and otherwise. The level of rollerblading in this video is very high and the stunts are huge. Everyone in this video skates fast and tough. Damien Wilson skates like he is chasing a person down that just stole his car. I heard Nick Wood talk about his friend Jimmy, and this dude kills it too. Lyle Shivak has been lacing it for a while. He has the madness true spin and death rail skills. Lyle has some kind of Latimer like style too. Nick Wood never stops progressing. He takes skating to levels beyond in this section. His disaster rail skating is next level insane. Nick destroys all kinds of terrain. Rob Whitcomb put down a real good section too.

If you are looking to see some proper street stunt skating, this DVD will satisfy. Heads up on the gross images between sections.

ATLiens love to roll. Any day of the week you can find a crew rolling the Woodward Skate Park at Discover Mills mall. Tuesday nights have become the main skate of the week, but from the looks of this edit by Richard Williams Fridays are hot too. Not only does Atlanta have a huge indoor park, Gwinnett County has built over 5 outdoor cement skate parks in the past few years. Pickneyville Park, Mountain Park Park, Ronald Reagan Park, Dashong Park and others. Gwinnett has plans for an additional five parks to be built over the next two years. Hamilton Mill Park should be completed by spring. This park has a vast array of bowls for your skating pleasure. We’ve heard that Rhodes Jordan Park is next on the list to have a skate park added to their venue. Don’t forget the Factory Skate Park down in Newnan, GA and Progressive Skate Park in Canton too. Clearly Atlanta has a healthy rollerblading scene. Here is the link for Gwinnett County Parks.
