Very refreshing to watch after two days of skateboards and scooters.

I'm primarily an inline skater, and what I love about inline, compared to skateboarding and sometimes BMX, is how graceful and smooth the better skaters are. Many times, the skateboarders land with a huge BOOM, and are loud even when they're just rolling down the sidewalk.

Eventough Inlineskating has evolved a lot and has gotten a lot more stylish and technical since the 90s, watching this I still can't help but feel that vertskating looked better back then. Tom Fry, Rene Hulgreen, Raphael Sandoz, Tim Ward, Scott Crawford, Manual Billiris etc. had cleaner runs, more air time and most importantly more style when doing spins & grabs! Not trying to diss these skaters as they are amazing atheletes but that's just how I feel....

word - you`re so right; it hasn`t to bee a double flip or stuff like that..style is what matters!

Um brasileiro na final de um X-Game! Nem precisa ganhar...

i like how run dmc is playing in the background

That shrieking in the background must put them off lol

2:30 -- holy shit...look at that air

was skatin with rich today. he was tryin to teach me to drop vert haha (key word being tryin haha)

@Kj16V i completely agree with you… vert inline skating did not evolve.. As you I skated 10 years ago and wanted to check inline now and you should see what they do in street now ! Bryan Aragon is pretty insane..

@martianshark1 OH RIGHT THANKS

From the american X games. Inline is still around in other parts of the world though.

I think its whack that the American X games doesn't include inline anymore. I miss the Yasutoko Bros. killing all the comp., even when Takeshi was just 14 he skated better than guys twice his age! And I can't forget the beautiful Fabiola Da Silva showing that inline girls kick way more ass than any girl on a skateboard.

Did they remove blading from the x games ???

@MURKYDEEP100 It's still in tha Asian X Games.

i thought inline wasn't in the X games anymore?

this REALLY 2011?

I used to skate a good 14 years ago. Today I thought I'd check out KZfaq to see how the sport's progressed since back then. Going by the video, the answer is 'not much'. Except jeans are skinnier! A bit dissapointing really :(

this isnt real blading...check out what it really is at our channel. Blade Or Die!

I doesn t stand a puta mierda
