Grassroots torchbearers Tracy White and Carlos Kessell held this year’s first Bladehead series event in Rockford, Illinois on September 29th. The blade love was large, the crowd was modest, but the progress for the burgeoning upstart midwest series was exactly what’s good for blading — getting people on blades. Check out the full write-up over at the Bladehead Website and if you’re in the IL/WI/IA area you should get to the next event on October 20th. Hell — if you’ve never met Tracy White it’s worth the drive just for that! You won’t leave unmotivated, you best believe.

Good luck to all!
