hmmm the essential problem here is that rollerblading is considered "gay" (and gay is considered bad). of course we all know theres actually nothing wrong with either homosexuals OR rollerblading, theyre just something we hate on to feel better about ourselves. if a trick actually DOES like like a rollerblading trick - and I dont think that all one footers look like rollerblading - who cares? rollerblading in and of itself is not ugly, its perceived as ugly because skateboarding is the bigger sport and skateboarders need something to hate on. its too bad that skiers have to jump on the bandwagon, too. i used to spend my summers in the skatepark like any other kid and it didnt matter if i was on four wheels or eight, everyones out there for the same reason, to have fun.
