Mo Marzuq | Remz Flowfile

Remz Flowfile Ft. Mo Marzuq , 26yo, from Boston MA.

Whatup Mo, introduce yourself man
- My name is Mo Marzuq, i live in plymouth ma, been skating for 12 years now, my influences are Gabe Holm, Jeff Dalnas, Johnny Wu, Mark Wojda, i'd have to say my heroes are Haffey, Shima, Rob Thompson!

How is it growing up as a blader out there?
- I pretty much grew up skating in Boston, its a small city with tons of bladers, so many awesome people. Tons of lil' groups its really cool when everyone gets together, i skate with Taylor Greene, Jeff Dalnas, John Wu, Gabe Holm, Tim Kelly, Kyle Couture, Mark Wojda, and Johny. There's a ton more people but these are the guys I'm usually rolling with.
I got a bunch of pre fab skate parks around me that are pretty awful, but i still go and skate them my favorite one is the Mattapoisett park, for a pre fab park its pretty tight... Rye Airfield is like an hour north of me but its incredible indoor park!

You're one of the last to have joined the Remz Flow team, how did it happen for you?
- I got on Remz through Mark, he use to always hook me up with his old skates and i really digged the OS's. Been rocking them for a few years now. One day Mark talked to Kato and it all just came together, i really thank him for that, he's one of the best people i know!
I decided to get on Remz cause i think they are an awesome company and run by a blader! Kato's the man and hes doing so much for the industry! Remz skates are the best I love the Open Shells they're just perfect. They have amazing flex and good for everything gaps grinding or just cruising around, I barely ever take them off when I'm skating I just drive around from spot to spot with them on. It means a lot to me to be riding for Remz, its the dopest company out there, try some and you wont be disappointed!
Thank you Kato so much for the support, and for building the best skates and company in this industry!

Sean Agoliati | Remz flowfile

Remz Flowfile Ft. Sean Agoliati , 24yo, from New York NY.

Alright man, tell us a bit about you and how it all started
- My name is Sean Agoliati. I'm originally for Poughkeepsie, New York, but I have been living in Manhattan for the past two years. I'm 24 years old and I have been skating for about 8 years. My biggest influences that have impacted my skating are my friends who don't skate, my parents, Tri-State Skate and Greg Keiffer, and of course Remz.
The greater majority of my closest friends had no idea what skating was really all about until I showed them and they have been fully supportive of my progression and the sport every since. Most think skating is petty radical once they realize how technical and insane this sport can get. My parents rock to say the least. Thanks for dropping all that dinero on skates for me well into my college years and letting me pursue my every interest in life. Greg and TSS have been amazing for the past year or so and I couldn't be luckier to have such a supportive sponsorship. Lastly, Remz and its ridiculous Team and Flow Team have been a consistent inspiration since I got back into skating in 2004.
I had no idea what Remz was before that date, but I haven't put another skate on my feet in the past six years and before that I was riding Roces 5th elements back in 1998. My heros: Batman, Robin Hood, who ever it was that invented the inline skate, America, and so many more.

Past and present blade scenes?
- My skate scene growing up in Poughkeepsie was real weak to say the least. So I stopped skating from 7th grade, all 5 years all high school, until my Sophomore year of college, when my Lacrosse coach quit and so did I. I went to Wheaton College in Norton, Mass, which was the perfect place to resume my interests in skating after a long hiatus. Mass and RI have great skate scenes, awesome parks, and tons of spots. The New York, New Jersey, Connecticut skate scene is Rad and I've enjoyed meeting and skating with everyone here. I skate with pretty much whoever I can out here, because my work schedule and school schedule are constantly robbing me of my skate time. I roll with Jesus Medina, Andrew Chiu, Evan Grimbald, Pat Bernet, Tim Franken, Trent Olans, and a bunch of other dudes. I still do skate mostly by myself unfortunately. New York City literally built 5 skate parks in the past year and are still constructing new parks that are to be finished in the coming months. A few years too late for my generation, but these parks will undoubtedly fuel the next generation of skaters coming from the New York Metropolitan area. Skating park is awesome, but I'm definitely still a little confused about ramps still so I prefer skating street.

You and Remz, what's the scoop?
- Remz have consistently inspired me to keep skating with every skate Kato has dropped since I put on my first Haffey skates in 2005. Remz has some the most amazing riders; Chris Haffey, Connor O'Brien, Mason Richard etc. I mean WTF, what is Mason's problem. He's got more tricks than the Trix Rabbit.
Not only are the Remz skates conceptually brilliant but they are also super stylish and have the power to grant someone with no style a little edge up on their steez. They provide the perfect stiffness to flex ratio which confers unmatched skating ability on all obstacles. I wont be riding any other skate in this lifetime and I have effectively converted most of my friends to riding Remz. When Greg Kieffer opened Tri-State Skate shop last year he asked me to ride for the shop and naturally I couldn't refuse. I figured I would just roll with the opportunity and skate as hard as I could. To be a sponsored skater has always been a personal dream of mine and I have to drop a big thanks to Greg, Kato at Remz, and Mac at Sunshine for getting me a flow sponsorship. A while ago I made a list of things to do in life and now I can officially cross off "Get on the Remz flow team!"

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible for me... Over and out.

Kawika Jarman steps down from the Remz Flow team after 7 years

Thank you for all your support, your loyalty to Remz, and what you have accomplished for Seattle and the Washington State scene over the years Kawika , from creating bladewa.com to what you have done with Skatebarn and the Barnburner.

"It has been great riding for Remz and supporting the brand. Its great to get the chance to promote something that you would do anyways and you believe in. I'm happy that I was able to inspire kids to get Remedyz. I remember when I was working at Skatebarn and everytime I sold a pair I'd make the kid try v-cut, full cuffs, and no cuff just to see how they like it. And of course I would always push for the no-cuff because that's what I have always rode haha. I would love to ride for Remz forever but there are other kids that deserve it more and can represent the brand way better than I could. I'm excited for Josiah Blee to rep Remz hard and show everyone what he can do.

I don't think I could ever truly quit, just slowing down a bit. Its been one of the best experiences in my life and has given me life long friends. You'll still see me around at contest in the northwest and skating parks. I just can't afford to get hurt so I can't be going nuts anymore. I've been busy with work and been taking on the adventure to be a career fire fighter, and trying to spend some time with my wife when I can. It is time now to focus more on my career and family.

I will always be on Remz regardless, after skating them for 7 years anything else would feel weird!"
