I think everyone has a side and some could outway the others by a little bit, Im not sure if you guys are old enough to remember the early inline greats such as Arlo, Dave Kollasch(record for the longest frontside rail), Matt Hermonic, Mark Neppl etc, but they are friends of mine and we still go skating all the time and we all both skate board and inline, it just depends on how we feel that day and what we want to do. I will have to bring up one small fact: look back to when aggressive inline was getting popular, 1992-94 do you remember seeing alot of skateboarding on TV, like x-games and things....No not really..If it wernt for the popularity of the inline flex of people getting into the sport, (being the fact that it is easier to strap skates to your feet and jump some stairs if your 12) the popularity of skate boarding would have stayed about the same and would not have increased..now I do agree it sucks to have some little gromit get in my way, but if he didnt I wouldnt have the selection of skate materials that I have today to choose from, I wouldnt be able to surf my couch and watch the Xgames... I would be making my own grindplates out of metal and attaching them to my neon green TRS rollorblade lightnings, getting kick off the local university property. So get along, dont complain that you can go to your local skate park and hang out.
thanks for your time
