people are telling me that rollerbalding is dead or gay. Is it?  but i have some skates with a grind plate in the middle so i can hit rails, i think theyre cool but no one else does.

I skate, it's fun. Definitely not dead or gay. Do it, it's worth it.

Its super fun imo to flow around the park, even if we're 'fruitbooters'. Dont do it very often though, I should start up again.

rollerblading was more or less how I got into newschool in the late 90's. Back then it was relatively mainstream. Companies like GAP and Tommy Hilfiger along with other big fashion names were sponsoring rollerbladers in comps. (wow sounds familiar) Skiing was THE most uncool thing on the block. Everyone snowboarded. If I said I was a skier at school, people asked me if I enjoyed wearing spandex and getting fucked in the ass. I remember my skating friends making fun of me for skiing and me trying to convince them how cool it was to hit a big jump and do grabs or grind a fallen tree like we did on skates. People didn't buy it, they said it was too akward and still straight gay. I wish I could have shown them skiing in 2013 back in 1996. haha

both of these are little p-rail edits at home. all i really cared about was getting video of tricks i was working on and playing a song that fit the vibe of the session. obviously not skiing style at all.

wack steeze from me a few years ago
