This just arrived via email from the guys at denial. Has it really been 10 years? Here's the press release.
I don't think the rollerblading community fully appreciated Mike Elias. That devil skated with more power than anyone I had ever seen. He hated filming yet managed to put together a few sections only to refuse to be payed for rollerblading. He always stood up for himself and his friends and was never prohibited by intimidation. He kicked bikers out of ledge spots, unchained his favorite rail, refused would-be muggers, broke parking barriers and laced the illest true spins anyone has ever seen. No matter what activity he picked up he was a natural and I'm sure, this spring, he's going to be a great father. Mike Elias was one of the original riders for Denial Clothing and for our 10th Birthday we're going to celebrate the riders that made Denial strong. First up will be the rerelease of the Mike Elias tee with proceeds going to Denials first father to be! It takes a large amount of Denial to survive 10 years in the rollerblading community and we aim to keep bringing it. Congratulations Mike!! From all of us here in Philadelphia – A. Sereni
