you know, back when i used to rollerblade, i almost got the crap beat out of me by some other rollers because they thought i was gonna hit a sk8boarder, so dont say rollers are all jerks to boarders. just like every group there are jerks and the chill people. there are just as many dumbass boarders or bikers out there as rollers, if not more due to the ratio of boarders to rollers.
go out and borrow, download, steal some of the new rolling videos out, see where skaters are now. i'd love to be good at skateboarding, its cool, but so is rolling, the drops are so much bigger, rails are so much longer, the tricks need to be a whole lot more accurate. when you go to land a 10 ft. gap to an 2 inch wide spot on your foot on an inch wide rail with a 15 ft drop on the other side, ou need to have both the nuts and the skills.
dont diss rollers, they probably will never be the action sports icon that boarding has become, but that's allright with them, they dont want the fame, they want to go out and sk8, not have to deal with mt. dew commercials, toys with their faces on them, cheap knockoff brands, or posers. dont diss them for that. let em skate, and just give them props when they pull something they could kill themselves doing
