Wow, i miss skating. I skated most of the spots back in the day. I used to love that montessori rail, it was perfect. Im to old to skate now though, i cant afford to bust a leg or something. ---

not too bad…they got some skills. but rollerblading is like riding the bunny hill at KB…im just not impressed. try doing those rails without the wheels being attached. ---

to the guys that think thats easy strap them on again and try other then 2 tricks on a hand rail. im not saying that its hard to learn skating but its fun just being able to land more then 3 tricks in one session and can just keep doing tricks. its like skiing down a hill sure its easy but its fun. ---

actually it is the easiest of the “alternative sports” think about it, you have 4 wheels strapped to each foot all you have to do is jump as where you have to ollie on a skateboard and bunnyhop/“j-hop” on a bike. let me guess you owned soap shoes or currently own a pair of those shoes with the wheels in the heel huh? maybe if you did a backflip off a ledge on to a rail i would be impressed for a few seconds… ---

Yeah nice vid but rollerbladers never impress me. I bladed for a few months and learned all the tricks, grinds, flips and whatnot within a few weeks, felt like I mastered it so I went back to skateboarding. ---

> [@XwalkerX](#): > > own a pair of those shoes with the wheels in the heel huh? Heelies aren’t really associated with rollerblading at all though. They are pretty sweet shoes, especially for making a speedy trip through the mall or wegmans. ---

i owned a pair of soap shoes back in 98 and never going to spend 80 bucks to not really be able to walk up stairs due to the stupid grind plate thing healies were never assoicated with rollerblading. they look cool but how cool is a 19 year old rolling around wegmans with those? ---
