any aggressive skaters out there? what kind of skates you guys rock, and does anyone see the relations to footbag?
i have a pair of razor icons, about 2 years old with gc featherlights.

I used to do aggressive inline for about 6 years. Was never very good at it due to humongous fear of stairs. I only got decent on minis and verts.
I totally see the relation to footbag, too. Although aggressive inline is way more photogenic.

I used to rollerblade, but i was very mellow about it.

Yo, I blade and have been blading for the major part of 14 years (since 96). Right now I'm skating xsjado's with my nucleus shoes (which I don't like for bag, Ggggggg G Unit son!). Riding on GC FL1's with Rollerblade Hyper wheels like the ones on the old tarmacs in 96.

I guess I see the relationship to footbag a little. Foot eye coordination, ankle crank/flex, quick turns, balance, pornstars are in the form of clipper. They are 2 very different sports for sure tho.

Me and I friend have a plan in the near future of incorporating the two, hopefully we'll get in on video.

cool, ive only been going for less than a year, hit my first handrail in the fall. i might be getting razor g6s from my friend. i just love it because i find it a lot easier to expand and get better quickly then skateboarding. i skate alot of vert and mini.
lol i always thought about using xsjado shoes for footbag..

the hardest part about aggressive inline is telling your family that you're gay.

Do they drugtest aggressive inline? If they dont drugtest it it isnt a sport to me...

I can't do any physical sport on wheels other than bicycle. I can't balance!

I recall hearing a rumor Vasek was into aggressive skating before taking up footbag.

Andrew, if that's true and you're attending worlds, you just might get lucky

a song about rollerblading from a local winnipeg word smith, circa 2002. it also has a sweet sample from "Pointbreak" and a verse about playing hackeysack. no joke.

Josh Martinez is a badass. Some bladers asked him about that song, and he said he was just joking around, not seriously talking trash. I was showing my wife the song about a year ago because I noticed he said that when i'm in my shoes i'm kicking a hacky sack.

Here are some fruitbooting clips that pretty much show the dopeness that is rollerblading.

I think I see rollerblading in the same way most American bros see footbag.

As George Lopez says when asked if he (agressive lol) rollerblades..

"Nah man, I like girls."
