Wow. Awesome work. I definitely gasped when that guy ground (?) that second story rail.
The thing I've always liked about street skating and biking is the huge amount of variation and artistic ability. They also have something we don't have...momentum. The duration of some of those grinds is unbelievable. And the grinding UP rails is awesome. I just wish there was a way to get the same speed and momentum on a uni.
Does that link go to a juggling video for anyone else?

Ok, it works now. The first time I clicked it it brought up a juggling video...

I didn't count, but it seemed like they didn't even show 1/2 of the grinds being landed. I guess there were enough bails in the video as it is.
With the beatings these kids are taking, they should be wearing way more protective gear. Then again, you'd probably have to be hit in the head pretty hard to want to rollerblade in the first place :p
Is there some sort of rule that you have to wear clothing that's 2 sizes too big to rollerblade?
is it just me or do roler bladers hit the ground really hard when they crash. im a roller blader and ive bnever fallen as hard as i have while rollerblading or skate boarding. i dont fall very often on my uni. i usually fall on my feeet
yeah skating is definately awesome... im a vert skater though... so most of my falls are onto a transition so they are just scary but dont hurt that bad..yeah it kinda agravating that alot of those skaters were the wiggerish kinda.. im am by noooo means a wigger.. and most of the ones i skate with arent either.. but yes very cool video

I love the way they feel the need to eccentuate the 'underground' nature of what is essentially a pretty mainstream sport by showing shots of them fighting/arguing with security guards, getting arrested and swearing at the camera etc. Don't get me wrong, the skating was very good, but surely that should speak for itself? Also, can you do anything other than grind in an urban (i.e. non-skatepark) environment?
