In 1995, just four years after rollerblading became the fastest growing participation sport in human history, the first X-Games made its way into households across America. While millions of people were already familiar with the idea of inline skating as a recreational activity, the X-Games was the first time most viewers ever saw a side of the sport known then as aggressive inline skating.
For any young sport, getting so much exposure was a triumph - seen at the time as testimony to the sports’ longevity; a sign of widespread public acceptance. But what no one seemed to expect was public backlash from the recently united action sports community that nearly erased the sports’ mainstream marketability.
More than ten years later, a young sport that many wrote off as unoriginal has discovered the truth behind its origins and progressed to levels of unfathomable athleticism. Traits once viewed as weaknesses have evolved into strengths, and while the world slept, rollerblading — and those who live to do it — built a formidable international network of the dedicated and industrious nature.
BARELY DEAD is a film about an underground culture that has grown beyond ethnic, economic and social boundaries- a culture brought together by a shared love for rollerblading. And why that culture is going to be the next great anti-establishment movement for the 21st century.
The Barely Dead Dvd is at the Duplicators, check more photos of the packaging here.

black market and barely dead may be a major step for us all! This is the way we can represent our sport to the world! If we always only show rollin itself people won’t be that interested they want to know more about the underground community thing! Go Barely Dead Go!

I’ve seen it and its amazing. It raises the bar of skate films to such a high level. Very educational about our sport and very much a perfect film to show people who want to know more about rolling and what it’s all about.

I appreciate all the knowledge I gained from BLACK MARKET. But I didn’t feel that there was enough skating shown. They didn’t have alot to show except for stories for spending a whole month in Europe. I don’t understand how you sould spend a month there, but have only a few clips of skating. And how is this supposed to recruit new rollers? I put BM in for me and my roller friends to watch ,and I was the only one to watch it completely through. The way to recruit new rollers is to drop serious hammers for them to see, not bitch and complain about the state of rolling.
Only experianced rollers would understand and accept the philosophies of these movies. Do you really think non-rollers that see these movies would understand were we are coming from and want to learn skatin…I think not. But with all that said, I can’t wait to see this movie. Having more A-list skaters will make this movie even better than the last.

I am not trying to discredit these movies. Films of this level will gain us more exposure and be seen by more non-rollers. But I feel that when these people see us feeling sorry for ourselves, it will make them believe we really are just fags and pussies. peace

i think it’d be good for new schoolers to know the roots.

Its good for new folks to know all this stuff… infact I think it sorta manditory… but lets leave it at that. This is for the kids. this is not advertisement this is a history lesson inspiration. I’ll rep my sport myself.
