dood has always been one of my favorites to watch, even gets me juiced to go skate. 2:10 looks fucking painful to land.

Fuck. BMX is mental.

Makes me wonder if in the grand scheme of extreme sports, blading looks that impressive at all.

Not that it bothers me at all, but it's be cool to have an outsiders view of it. I think this section (and the wallridey one someone posted the other day) look more instantly impressive than almost all rollerblading.

in my early x-treme days i went between biking and blading.

i don't ever remember being "in awe" of skateboarding

snowboarding and skiing seem to be the gnarliest at street, in terms of scale

A friend of mine (who is a really good skateboarder, not sure if relevant) told me today that blading looks really cool but he has difficulty knowing what tricks to cheer for and what tricks are easy. He said he just kinda drew parallels between the general body motion of blading tricks and skateboard tricks he knew and judged difficulty based on that.

And in terms of bmxing, I rarely see anything too impressive out of the bmxers in our area, aside from Matt (who sessions with us all the time). Most of them are parkrats. There seems to be a huge disparity between the level the pros are at and the level of most of the riders. (I think the gap isn't as big in blading. You've got tons of dudes like Jeremiah or Nemo or the Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner crew that are super good)

snowboarding for scale probably, although skiiers have started doing flips off of rails as well as double flips off of urban jumps, as well as 630s and even 810s off of larger rails. Even though I am a skier as well blading has the most impressive street stuff I've seen.
