To be honest, its harder for everyday regular joe rollers to push the limits of the skating envelope. The price to pay for failing in an attempt to expand these boundaries is too expensive to be paid in real life. Only stupid schmucks think breaking limbs are a glorious thing to do. How many ppl you know can better a corkscrew 900 or a 720 outspin kind grind on a 2 storey fall rail? The argument abt expressionism is a weak one, they say you skate to express yourself, the question is how do you do that when all the tricks are not yours to call your own. Ever heard of Picasso expressing himself in Monet's style? Its all basically bullshit conjured up by the powers to be in order to make us think that skating can be defined in fixed and expressionable form. It is the easiest wayto market something identifiable, something definable. I personally find myself wishing most of the time that rollerblading had stayed underground and unknown, it was the time when you felt that you were right at the cutting edge of a sport you loved unlike now, where everything you do and even the clothes and skates you use is defined by someone else? Doing a frontside on a rail on the side of your neighbourhood road is no longer fun, its passe'. Techinical fluff and elitism has taken the sport away from us. Like it or not this is the price of progress, how willing are you to pay for it is however another matter.

your argument on expressionalism is valid... but have you considered the benefits of paragraphs and punctuation in a post?  |

some wise men once told me, that no idea is new. anything u think up has been thought of and done before. what makes it new, is taking an idea and working on it. u say that a frontside is not urs cause someone has done it before, but my frontsides are MY frontsides. shit if u wanna be different, put a little tweak here and there. there is literally thousands of us LOLler bladers out there. if u wanna express yourself, go do airwalk backflips or something.think thats original? im sure i seen bugs bunny do that. no one is making u do a kind grind after your soul grind. people write to express themselves. those letters they are using werent made by them, but doesnt it still convey their message? u may be using tricks already invented, but your using them in a way you want. thats expressing urself babeh. i like where our sport has gone (sometimes.) just because your not the best, your not happy? think of it as a challenge, not a con. the pro's express themselves that way. i think what they are trying to say is "im a crazy mofo" but i say good on them. and if u lok around the corner, MOST of the people who a making skate companies are skaters. the designers are skaters too. the sport is still ours. enjoy it. dont destroy it.
