Any rollerbladers here, or "Aggressive Skating" as we called it in the 90s?

I got back into it 2 summers ago after being away for roughly 2 decades. One of the best decisions I ever made. It's just fun beyond words cruising around and hitting up the local skatepark. I have some edits on YouTube, nothing impressive by any means, more self deprecating than anything but I throw down the best I can at my local skate plaza.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, rollerblading was huge in the early 90s but died off just as quickly and has since gone deep underground. The best in the world rarely get 100k views on YouTube.

Here's a recent edit from one of the best in the world.



NOTE: Yes, I am aware that skateboarding is cool, I love skateboarding and have friends in town who rip. We don't need to be enemies.

This topic reminded me of something a coworker said to one of my friends years ago.

What’s the hardest thing about rollerblading?

Telling your parents you’re gay.

Rollerblades still slap. Didn't aggressive skate too long before my bro broke his wrist into an "s" shape after falling off a grind that I decided it was a little too dangerous.

Also the Disney Channel movie "Brink!" was one of their best. Aggressive Inline on Gamecube was fire.
