Alain Rodriguez is one of the new school bladers from Bilbao. Like others he stresses about lots of things — not his amazing tricks or the risks he takes — but by the desire to improve and to enjoy rollerblading.

This year I have been working with many photographs. I love to see Alain enjoy and live as a street skater, and we connect a lot because we believe that the root and essence of the sport is the street.

Although we know that is not always the best way of spreading our sport to new audiences, is at the terrain we both enjoy.

So keep working this way, Alain. Thanks for your friendship.
