what you don't realize is there are hundreds of these same exact petitions out there and none of them do anything for it. ESPN who owns the x-games is only worried about 1 thing and that is $. nothing else. no money in the industry = no support from television. they look at rollerblading as a fad that should of died out in the 90's but on the contrary i think us not being in the x-games is good. we stay under the radar and let our sport progress itself rather than relying on ESPN to tell us what is good. plus if anyone actually remembers the inline street comps on the xgames where boring anyway. it didn't show what really was going down in our sport anyway. when the rest of the industry is more about street skating and huge grinds and switch ups. the xgames only showcased the flips and grabs. don't get me wrong thats fine and all but our sport has matured so much since then. Rollerblading has changed. and the way we are viewed in the public needs to change aswell. LONG LIVE THE UNDERGROUND

id rather see asa and niss comps on tv than see rollerblading back on the x-GAYmes. those people dont care about our sport. we need people who actually care about rollerblading to show it to the world.

i say fuck underground, if asa comps were on nbc on saturday mornings still little kids everywhere would would see real rollerblading sometimes for the first time ever and want to try it. and there would be so much more money in the industry and everything would be better.

im not signing that petition because i dont support the x-GAYmes
