Underestimated, sometimes. Underrated, maybe. Out-skated, never. Iain McLeod has been on a professional level for what seems like forever. 2 pro skates, 3 pro frames, 3 pro wheels… and counting. Always a leader in both the tech and stunt aspects of blading, his ability to land some of the largest gaps, grind near impossible rails, and progress the ledge game further than few could have dreamed, continues to amaze anyone who’s seen him skate. When asked how he does it, he simply smiles and says ‘practice.’ Fact is, within the 16 years he’s been on blades, you can probably count the number of days Iain hasn’t skated on both hands. This kid loves blading and his skating deserves -scratch that- demands respect.

Blading.info – Insight: Przemek Madej
Przemek is not only spending all his free time on blades but is also working for Hedonskate which means that his every day live is dedicated to blading. Instead of taking that for granted he seems to be aware of the privileged position he is in. Not only is he constantly producing quality edits to showcase the Polish scene and Hedonskate connected events, he is also pushing forward with fresh ideas promoting blading. As one of the top riders in his country he is riding for USD Poland and of course Hedonskate, but sponsors and competitions aren’t that important to him… It’s about keeping the fun in blading and showing that to everyone around. He is this one guy every scene would need more of. We are glad to present an “Insight” with Polands very own Przemek Madej.
