I am a scooter rider and I thinking blading and scooting are just so gnarly! You can ride big or small obstacles and translate from a park to street setting really comfortably so I guess that's why skaters and bikers have issues. I would love to finally see scooter riding be viewed as a legit sport and see blading really make a resurrection into popular culture. At least the down time will make the sports so much more gnarly.
YES! I think we rollerbladers and scooters have it easier as far as transitioning from park to street to property, because skateboarders and bikers are usually seen as pest. No one expects us on skates to be tricking on their stuff, although I do tricks at parks or on my own property, I'm a girl who likes tricks but I don't need to have a run in with dumb cops and I'm in to damaging stuff and not taking responsibility. I think skateboarding is cool but I feel like too many morons do it an so now its a serious stereotype that all skateboarders are lazy slack jaws. I used to skateboard all over the place outliving in Chicago its busy so i switched and I like the free movement of both my legs. I do like doing fun tricks on scooters though. skateboarders have the worst attitude towards rollers and scooters. A comeback must be made! lol. I'm only 19, sounding like I'm fifty. xD
Chibi Misaki No worries lol I'm 25 but my attitude usually reflects a 65 year old lol. When I was a kid I just thought all action sports were cool but scooting was my thing I loved but I live in a small rural coal mining town so growing up after the Razor boom made finding a commercial kick scooter that could handle damage impossible so I tried skating, biking and rolling with my friends and enjoyed it esp rolling that quick transition to any terrain made it so fun and fluent and esp after finding mushroom blading but it never was scooting until about 07-08 scooting started turning into a legit sport slowly so I started moding Razor Pros and that's how I fount my way back home lol. Skating and biking is cool but a board is so fickle and slow and a bike is so big and clunky it just isn't a natural feeling to me. I love scooting for the same reason as you blade I guess lol. you can carve a scooter but go so much faster and have a bike's stability. I would love to see Scooting and Rolling really feature each other and help one another out since the world seems determined to denounce it.
Yeah, definitely. I mean I think skating is great, it's really fun, but blading and scooting are so much more natural feeling. Like you said, with a scooter you can go really fast, but have all the stability of a bike. And on blades, you pretty much on you own two feet. That makes it a lot easier to jump bigger gaps, do grinds, and just try much harder stuff.
Can someone tell me why every other skaters "last run" scores were displayed after they were finished, except for Cudot? It was never updated, and never showed what he even scored.... Don't think he would have run it, but at least one of his runs was better than the 83...
you know whats funny guys. The reason this coarse looks so bad is because they dumbed it way down for the SKATEBOARDERS. if you look at last years AIL. The coarse wasnt perfect but, it was huge compared to this one. And the Bladers looked good but on it, but the skateboarders couldnt do shit. just watch some of the videos from 'Ail 2012'
What a crap park, total mockery of the pro's really. Its like giving a classical guitarist an instrument with three strings and asking them to play some Bach.
Bring it back to the X games!!!!
This park was designed for my friends grandma to skate... and she's only got one leg ... and she passed away years ago.
LOL Iron Maiden in the background, kick ass
Shocking park. Cant put inline skaters in there.
Why?
Totally designed for boarders.
And the park is 200 yards across.
park looks weak and small.

An I'm younger den both of ya, soundin just like the kid I am. xD
What is this...a park for ants
this needs to be atleast.... 3 times bigger than this!
probably made for skatboarders
Like Patrick said, it's probably for skateboarders since they don't skate anything big unless they're park skaters (which this is a street park???)
I just think it's sad to see such a great sport become virtually nonexistent.
Benjamin McCall yeah true
YOU HAVE MY VOTE!!!
Why they dont show cudot's scores???
does anyone know why razors or remz or skaters don't skate in the xgames? or do they? I don't know
X-games don't got no blading. D:
where is Chris Haffey ? :)

Soichiro is super sick
song 13:40 ???
Richie crushed that first heat!
Looks like a park built for fingerboards.
It would be epic to be able run this fast.
hey bro we need to start an organization or a hashtag or try to protest against it
Real sad to see how little audience still sitting in Puplikum
skating is so awsome im only 11 and i have been sponsered
Who you sponsored by?
i acherly like this park if it was for me but these guys should be given somthing a bit bigger
It is a cool park, but yeah. The pros need sometin a little gnarlier.
I was thinking about inline today
with 2 georgous girls at school
DEVERIA TER UMA PARK UM POUCO MAIS ADEQUADO PRA AGRESSIVEINLIE,
Nice tricks.
Is aggresive inline skating out of xgames now?
bruh, it's been gone since like 1999, lol. Street left first, then vert a year or two later.
Wow that park is pathetic lol every skaters heart must have sank when they saw the course.
take a look on at channel
A highway block with a wall right after it? A steep mini quarter right after a pyramid gap? who the feck designed this course?
street vids are WAY more entertaining to watch...
I had a friend that was good enough to be in the x games someday but sadly he decided to hook up with a friends mom and throw his life away
you know whats funny guys. The reason this coarse looks so bad is because they dumbed it way down for the SKATEBOARDERS. if you look at last years AIL. The coarse wasnt perfect but, it was huge compared to this one. And the Bladers looked good but on it, but the skateboarders couldnt do shit.
just watch some of the videos from 'Ail 2012'
Wow, you aren't kidding.... TERRIBLY dumbed down...
Yess!!!! im late to reading it but its good to see that other people noticed it too..
Anyone else noticed the Green Day playing?
what at horrific street course
yea, that park setup is weird.
this looks like a skateboard course, non of the hand rail are round >.>
ye juli cudot
Challenges are meant for ants
yeah tiny park..they seem to keep running into walls lol
What a crap park, total mockery of the pro's really. Its like giving a classical guitarist an instrument with three strings and asking them to play some Bach.
Maybe it was, and then they used Asian technology to enlarge it.
wow this is gay, they have music playing for there run? and why the begginers park?
We are the Novelty now. Bet you ride a scooter
This course is so lame. There isn't even a proper jump/Rail! I would be too embarrassed to be involved in this.
This park is so sad..clearly a skater didn’t design it ha
lol
what the hell is this crap? no wonder they took us out of the xgames >.< knee high 2 foot long grinds...
Music and tricks very boring
you guys talk to much, and don't skate enough.
WTF….roller blades still exist
This course really sucks
gay
worst coarse ive seen in over ten years
omfg this is lame
the commentary just sucks hahaha
Inline is dead
We are the Novelty now. Bet you ride a scooter
