Below is an email that I recently sent out to my friends announcing my new role as Be-Mag.com’s new online Editor-In-Chief; ready for rolling to blow up? Yeah, me too! Catch y’all over at Be-Mag.com… -B (more)

Happy New Year, everyone!
 
Wanted to drop my friends a quick personal note that I have joined up as the new online Editor-In-Chief for Be-Mag.com! 
 
Those of you who know me know that I truly believe aggressive inline skating is one of the most progressive sports on the planet. While there are a handful of folks who are presenting rolling in the way it deserves, I’ve often felt that we sell ourselves short in the way we portray our sport and lifestyle to “the outside world.” So, I’m really excited to take the helm of Be-Mag’s online presence and drive forward great new content that captures how amazing rolling is while expanding our reach into fashion, photography, music, etc…
 
Over the last few years Be-Mag has focused much of their energy on their print magazine, fashion line, and European product distribution. As a result, Be-Mag.com has not always been the website it could be. That’s why Be-Mag is entirely relaunching a new website (coming very soon – and it looks great!) and I’m getting involved to focus on great content every day!
 
Some of you on this email are part of the rolling industry. Please don’t hesitate to let me know how Be-Mag.com can help promote anything you’re working on!
 
Others of you on this email are artists, fashion designers, etc. Please don’t hesitate let me know what you’re up to as Be-Mag.com truly is a lifestyle magazine and we will be running a wide range of content!
 
Hope you all had a great holiday, and I look forward to working with y’all in 2010! -B
