Ozzie Ausband of the Blue Tile Obsession blog provides us with a solid interview with Omar Hassan, offering up a little bit of then and now in the world of bowl riding, and all right before the 8th annual Pro-tec Pool Party. Also check out this quality video of Hassan doing what he does.

There was less pressure because there were no rules at Marseille. The format was loose. When you limit the riders to four or five runs, that’s only four or five lines. In actuality, it limits the level of skating because there are like fifty lines that could be done!”
