BLADE LIFE: Texas Scene Report 2011

Houston

One word to describe the skating scene in Houston, Texas is “thriving.” There is such a diverse amount and style of skaters it almost seems like you come across new rollers every time you go to a popular skate spot. Off the top of my head there are about six main crews in the city alone. It’s a given that most tend to roll with their designated crew, but there is nothing in the rules that says you can’t mix it up a little bit and roll with other peeps. Which is what happened on this hot day in Houston. You had two of the main crews coming together for one good session to illustrate that the scene may be split up due to demographics, but is united to represent the third coast. Now, that’s WHATITDO! Shout out to LST and Clutch City Clique. — Jason Howard

  • WilliamI. - June 24th, 2011

    ahhh who talkin shit!…

  • Aaron Jacobs - June 26th, 2011

    Fuck the Orange Peeps Tribe bullshit. Those bitches aren’t worthy of even saying they are from Dallas. John Sullivan, Brian Moore??!! Those fags inherited the ground laid by true o.g.’s like Shawn Robertson and Aaron Jacobs… and they did it poorly. Those kids are the reason rollerblading is associated with GAYNESS now.

  • alan - June 26th, 2011

    Rollerbladers in SA hit me up at 2108272630 really want to learn new shit but i cant find anyone!

  • rolo - July 9th, 2011

    I agree with A. Jacobs,although i dont remember him… Shawn Robertson was a true Professional, always talked to little kids and bladed hard!! Even then was still better than most pro’s today. He even gave me a pair of his old k2’s..but that was over 15 years ago, as far as today, the “sully and bmo” although i dont know those dudes personally, i cant talk bad about them, but i do think they act like they shit dont stink..both good in their own ways but come back down to DFW and respect all the bladers.. even the ones you know your better than..

  • joshnavarifar - July 18th, 2011

    hey aaron jacobs and rolo. take your hate to another state. TX

  • Joe Rensland - August 26th, 2011

    I’m from the Beaumont area, but now I’m living in Houston… Looking for some people to skate with. If anyones down shoot me an email?

  • bmo - April 2nd, 2012

    lol. neither me or john claim to be “running shit.” We’re just doing what we like to do. If you want to put us on a pedestal and say we arent living up to what you guys did before us, then i’m sorry….but living up to what you or any of your friends did was never any kind of intention on our part. we’re just doing what we love. you haven’t put a pair of skates on in how many years? quit hating from the sidelines and find something to do other than talk shit on people who could care less if you’re even alive.

  • Michael Mogface - April 2nd, 2012

    If I’d known this was being put together I probably could have arranged for an El Paso write-up – a city people have told me they’ve driven through it on their way to Texas. Not quite New Mexico, not quite Arizona, not quite Texas; those guys feel left out of everything.

  • JARROD MCBAY - April 3rd, 2012

    Love this article shows how rollerbladers NEED to stick together and help each other out if not u might as well just get a skate board and support the haters. Great job!!!

  • Richyj - June 5th, 2012

    ftw Big rich’ll put a toe roll in ya a$$

  • Jesse Meyers - June 6th, 2012

    Aaron – There’s nothing derogatory about being gay, leave your homophobia outta this. Conflating anything with gayness to connote negativity is just something shitty people like you do. Grow up.

    Jarrod – Rollerbladers, skateboarders and BMXers…we are all in the same club and if you treat them with respect they will treat you with respect. The only people causing problems are people with bad attitudes. Luckily, they are the minority. And there’s nothing wrong with being a rollerblader and a skateboarder or biker or whatever. There’s no rule you have to be one dimensional. You might be surprised to learn some of your favorite bladers also skateboard.
