Its sad that they did but the coverage of it has sucked for the past 5 years anyway. I remember when inline vert was a closing day event along with bmx dirt and skateboard best trick. Last year i think i saw 5 whole minutes of coverage and that was just a highlights reel.
Agreed. I've been doing my best to get people into inline skating. My brother's girlfriend used to skateboard and now we've almost got her in some inline skates.
I also bought a pair of old Salomon ST-80s for my 10yr old brother's 11th birthday (but he doesn't get to roll until July 26th...).
Spread the word around your local skate parks, schools, friends are the best because they will back ya up and help you get the word out there thats what I'm trying to achieve to get more aggressive skaters and help the sport gain some more respect than it has had in the past few years, people just don't understand how landing a sweet grind or trick in aggressive skating is just as hard or even harder than skate boarding.
Yeah but at my school ive tried to get my mates into blading and they all say its gay apart from 1 who cant do it because he has a problem on his feet where he gets blisters from most shoes and has to where this thing on the inside of his shoe else he would do it =(
they just dont see how good it is they think or it as the 80s roller blading yet they are all willing to go ice skating=S
