alrite since everyone is still arguing about this shit i’ll put in my totally unbiased opinion since i have been rollerblading for almost a decade. skateboarding and biking are much harder to begin learning because yes, you do not have things attached to your feet and have to learn to jump and manipulate your bike or board in ways you are not accustomed to. but, at the point where i am in rollerblading now it is every bit as hard as the other 2 sports. if i was skateboarding for just as long i would be killing flip tricks onto rails no problem. of course it is easier to do a frontside on a bike rack than to learn a boardslide but that is the most basic shit. i like riding with anyone but i do find that bikers and boarders always use the fact that their sport is “harder” as a crutch to talk shit on rollerbladers. the fact of the matter is that since we are more mobile and have skates attached to our feet, our sport has progressed to a level that i hope boarding and biking can reach soon beacause it’s awesome, but i rarely see it. we are far from park rats i mostly skate the rails at xw to prepare for street skating this summer. those pics will definitely change the haters minds about rolling. heres an example of why i think rolling is far from gay:
this second one i just posted for the last 2 tricks. if you dont care about tech grinds skip to the last 20 seconds.
