Mushroom Blading

Mushroom Blading is an example of a fun project which became a brand. Two friends forming the company have been skating together for 30 years now and come from aggressive inline background – however, they never took skating too seriously and eluded a simple styles classification. It is fair to say that no other skaters were recipients of so many praise and mockery simultaneously through the years. Joey McGarry and Todd McInerney do not care what other think about their skating – their simply love doing what their do and to constantly experiment.

Furthermore, they love capturing their skating on film. Their edits and short clips released through the years are countless. The first longer production is Allusion, composed of material filmed back in 1997 and 1998. When it comes to breakthrough movie, which put Mushroom Blading on international skating map, the opinions are divided. Some say that it was “Cirque Duh Sol Eh?” from 2004, others point towards “Better than baseball” from 2006. “Mushroom Blading vol.1”, released in 2008 is also a strong contender to the title.

The Mushroom Blading duo have collaborated with many different inline skating brands through the year, both in official and semi-official ways. The undoubtedly most prestige of such project were Pro wheels of 100 mm diameter made by Undercover. Guys have picked it up from there and created their very own wheel brand, delivering models dedicated for both freeskating (broadly speaking) and aggressive inline. Also, if you look for some cool clothes with unique designs, Mushroom Blading sells softgoods with unique graphics hand-drawn by Todd.
