The amount of times I yelled, "What?!" at my computer is almost laughable. That was awesome.

Sad thing is that if a rollerblader did something like this where they branched off from the norm (Not just from rails, but even from the stuff that is starting to become standardize by the people Adam Johnson films), they would be mocked, and laughed at for not falling in line.

I want to encourage people branching off into things that interest them, even if what they do is of no interest to my own. Yes, that sounds wishy-washy but I like the idea of people going different directions with the same (sorta) setup under our feet.

ya dig.

He's not treading on a path that hasn't been skated before.
The style of tricks is early skateboarding, but wth the difficulty level turned to 100.
That style of handstands and what not ...are fashionable thanks to that Dogtown film and doco.
That style is also seemed to be linked with your daune peters types and punk.

If rollerblading tried to get back to its roots (the 90's) it would be linked with the current hipster trend.

Those videos were tight white, shit looks super scary. Kind of wish I didn't even comment on this video...once i again I feel super out of place as rollerblader...which is becoming the norm now a days, rollerbladers feeling out of place even amongst other rollerbladers. No disrespect to anybody here and how you feel, I know who Mullen is...I still don't care what he did for skateboarding and what he currently is doing, I'm not a skateboarder and I'm not putting my money time or energy into anything skateboarding...I just don't dig it much, like they said in bfg it's like throwing a baton in the air, that's how I perceive it, regardless of how hard it is. I used to skateboard back in middle school and shit, I was getting pretty decent until I realized how much more fun rollerblading IS. And I know there is mad wood pushers out there that see guys with wheels on their boots doing pretty dangerous hectic fucking things, or guys like me that don't push it to hard much and like to create endless lines, they don't fucking appreciate shit you are doing...in fact they think they could do it better than you and it's "easy". There is big industry guys in skateboarding that hate rollerblading and want to see it DIE, so they can get all the fucking kids to ride skateboards and shit. That's the real truth, if it wasn't for wheels on boots there probably wouldn't be a skateboarding, skates came first...remember that. Just remember the next time you go to your wood pusher infested local park, that they wish you wasn't there on roller blades, they wish you had a skateboard like them deep down they do. They don't understand you. There's an older boarder at my park that goes, he's really fucking good and all the other younger dudes and some older guys look up to him....I was rollerblading with this kid that does both, nothing wrong with that huh? Tell me why this older guy ask him why he switched to the dark side? Almost instantly this little sheep of a fagot says he's gonna go skateboard some more. I respect what they do for what it is, but I don't respect most of them...there isn't many woodpushers I've met that could be good good friends of mine but I've met some cool ones that don't give a shit about politics and just have a good time. I'm done, don't want to argue with nobody about this just needed to vent...I hardly have anybody to blade with here and the ones that do don't even have the fucking patients and understanding to know who Chris Edwards is...let alone understand what a fucking royal or soul grind is after I show them 50 times,I'm talking grown ass 20 something year old men.
