Stupid. The underground thing just hurts us. Less companies to buy from, and lower quality products, because it costs so much to make things for a small market. Even wheels cost $40 now. Staying underground isn't helping anyone, and it makes it nearly impossible to get kids and new members.... It's ridiculous when I see kids on scooters everyday, but they don't even know that grinding on rollerblades is a real thing.
@@Danielson1818 I agree, I just started back and I struggled to buy a new pair of boot, and when they turned up the original box was missing and they were covered in dust. I'm in the UK and the scene is like deader than dead. I need anti-rockers and there is like one place that sells them (Online) and they are £32 (About $40)
Even 4 years ago the products I was able to choose from SUCKED, USD Aeons I especially hated, no matter what I did with the liner they still dug into my foot. Such low quality skates, most just a cheap flimsy shell and a cheap liner to go with it. I had to go back to my og Salomon Vinny Minton's from 2006... that said my skating days are done for now. I never was great, but it was an enjoyable thing. I just can't afford to put myself in the hospital for something that people really don't care about anymore. Plus my favorite park and training spot got closed permanantly.
why dont you do any content like this anymore? i feel like the scene died. no one makes shit like this. we dont have bittercold or any of the big events
Hello Chris Haffey. I really love these BLADE sessions. Any chance you could organise one between yourself & someone like Alex Broskow or Mike "Murda" Johnson. I'd love to see either of those. They'd be amazing!
I bladed in the 90’s/early 2000’s because I couldn’t even do a kick flip on a skateboard. Iv got a lot of respect for people who are good at any extreme sport.
yea.. i just love to post really unecessary rude just to laugh at the people who over react.. i love skatebording, bladers r cool, biking is okay :/, and i admit to riding a scooter. im not gonna hold a grudge over shoes with wheels.. lol
@ExleyHD screw it find a local park i live in worcestershire where there is only one half decent park (perdiswell) and i tend to find people at the park who inline but if i dont i watch a vid to see how i can improve
I would say start with your natural grinds like makio, sole, porn star, mizou etc. just practice locking on to those and then you can get your groove tricks and then topsides. That's what I did.
if you dont like fruit bootin then dont watch the fucking video! simple as like . . . n the grinds and what they were grinding on were sick! but yet again id be that good if i skated woodward every day :P
Guys im new to rollerblading and i dont know ANY tricks at all... Can someone help me. I practice at the lewisville skate park in texas. Its a popular park but idk any tricks to do.
atleast a scooter? Riding a scooter should never EVER be considered. Props for saying skateboard as that's what i do but i also used to blade, which was fun as hell
