Jon Julio

In 2003, rollerblading legend Jon Julio started the Valo Brand. Since then, Valo has become a leading skate manufacturer and celebrated brand among a devoted, tight-knit community of skaters across the globe. Following two years of filming and travel across some of the most beautiful cities in the world, Valo proudly releases its fourth full-length video, Valo4Life. 4Life—the fourth video from the Valo skate brand—features sections from pro skaters Alex Broskow, Erik Bailey, Brandon Smith, Victor Arias, Soichiro Kanashima, Cosimo Tassone, and Jon Julio. Filmed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Australia, Montreal, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and more. Along with the main feature, 4Life includes footage from the World Rolling Series and Amateur Inline League contests all over the world, bonus edits, director’s commentary, submissions for 4Life, and other extras to pile up over two hours of viewing time.

Valo V chronicles three years in the ongoing history of rollerblading, from backyard bowls in Mexico to the architectural wonderland of Barcelona and along thousands of stateside miles to spare. V showcases the pioneering skaters of the Valo Brand who continue to revolutionize our sport, a tradition of Valo since it was founded in 2003. Celebrate a decade of Valo with Jon Julio, Alex Broskow, Erik Bailey, Brandon Smith, Victor Arias, Soichiro Kanashima, Cossimo Tassone, Gav Drumm, Ross Kuhn, Dean Coward, and the rest of the Valo family with V, a film by Ivan Narez.

BARELY DEAD is a film about an underground culture that has grown beyond ethnicity, economic and social boundaries - a culture brought together by a shared love for rollerblading." And why that culture is going to be the next great anti-establishment movement for the 21st century.
