If blading was back in the x-games (?)

**uncle blake** · 01.08.2009, 11:33

I happened to catch the x-games the last two nights. I've noticed that in the past few years the games are geared more towards "special events" that showcase a specific skill of the sport, i.e. big air, high jump, best tick, etc... and then they have this elaborate set-up for each event.

So my question is, what event would you like to see if blading were back, and what would the obstacle look like. Keep in mind it should be flashy, and big!

That big air ramp is pretty gnarly and would be sweet to see us destroy but I see bladers getting worked on that monster 1/4 after the big launch. Oh, and that super-mini ramp or what ever they call that event, would be murked by us.

Personally, I would like to see a hugh ass rail set up. Similar to the vertigo set-up(old BCSD host), but 3-4 times bigger. Best trick on something like that would be ill. 4 story fast slide

Longest grind with a rail that goes around the staples arena.

I'd just send Brandon Campbell bask fastslide the ledge in front, land that shit like a man and then give a middle finger to the crowd and get the fuck out of this shit.

That's an interesting question though, I'll try to thing about it more seriously. But if anything, I'd like to see more events like the FISE instead of getting back in the X-Games, and dropped again whenever...

big rail on a 20+ stairs. After all the grinds let Montre have at it.

If rolling made it back to the X-game$ it would be the death of our sport. The ASA runs half the x-games events. Moto-x, SKATEBOARDING, wakeboarding...... etc. If we allow those cunts back in it will be the end of us. I did work for them, many people warned me (Edwards, Hyser, Angie, Parrish, and many others) that they would end up owing me money.......... they were right, Luckily for me, I saw it coming and closed all linked accounts before they could try to get my money.

The x-games is nothing more than bind teenage marketing.

It would probably be a setup like "mind the gap" except on a much larger scale. It would be almost like a mega-ramp with a big-ass rail (like the skateboarding mega), and then a second kicker box to do air tricks. I feel like the massive quarter pipe would scare the shit out of most rollerbladers.

Edit:
This is what i'm saying it would be, because they don't care about technical switchups or anything. They want to see peopole throw themselves at some massive obstacles.
What i would like to see would be a box like the vertigo setup. Down rails (maybe throw some stairs in) and a big drop ledge. Then throw in a launch box with some other rails and a QP at the end.

a slightly mellow 100 stair rail.

Judging by rollerblading's current state in the mainstream extreme sports realm, it would probably be something like an extreme dick sucking competition in which the contestants all just happen to be wearing rollerblades.

amputee super X adaptive is on now......kidding me?

Are you really leading me to believe that rollerblading got dropped from the X Games to make way for freaking amputees?

I fully stand by my previous post.

**SilentAssassin** · 01.08.2009, 13:08

biggest drop. have some kind of setup rigged with cranes or pistons or something where you start at like, a 8ft drop and keep getting bigger, make it like a impact resistant flooring so the it can get really ridiculous and no-on would die..

that wasn't the question

Maybe some kind of best switchups on a rail, but it'd probably look too much like gymnastics with baggier pants. Actually with pretty much the same pants.
