Overall really good edit liked it but…Music was too loud like when talking stops music goes too much loud it was irritating a bit.

Good job.

Nah i didn’t expect someone to feel bad, but what i hoped the documentary would do is show people who have misconceptions not only about rollerbladers but about young people in general that we’re not all like the stereotype; that was the main idea i was trying to address because i’ve found that most people do just think what was said on the vid, especially the older generation.

The point of it was as i said above, this is why i didn’t just have skating, i was told i had to introduce characters and construct a story to show that not all rollerbladers are like the stereotype. I dunno how i gave the impression that those guys just skate all day long. All of the people involved, including myself do have to study, work, but what i was attempting to show is that skating is good because it does allow us to escape from all that and i know full well theres more to life than rollerblading. I also never intended it to be philisophical, instead just like what you said; thats its fun to do. Again, i dunno how i gave the impression that there was deep meaning behind grinding a ledge. I hope that half clears a few things up. I should just add, this documentary was half intended for those people who might have bad impressions of rollerbladers and half for rollerbladers because it obviously involves our sport.

Good effort.
But i want to ask u something… do you really think that someone is going to sit and watch this, then feel bad :”Omg ive been treating rollerbladers so bad, im such a bad person” and something is going to change?! Come on. If you watch a golf documentory, would that touch u?
And what is the point? Prooving me that there is some kids that their goal in life is to skate all day long?! I do skate, but i have to work, study and rollerblading comes after these things… beleve it or not there’s much more than skating in life, right? ;)
Rollerblading is a sport. JUST a sport. Not less, not more. There is no spiritual, deep, pholosophic ideas behind grinding a ledge or a rail. So stop making them up, it’s just about having fun…
Rollerblading is about fun :)
so.. have fun!

And once again, respect for the effort u’ve put in that video! I like it.

They’d have said i was an idiot for asking that question, so does that not say something about the person who suggested the suggestion for the question? and…i was born in the south.

wheeey you went to my local park and train station (rampworx and lime street station) haha how bad is liverpool please? you should come back to rampworx, the box you sessioned is now eight feet longer and a lot higher, makes for a pretty good session. and i noticed your from york, i went to york a while back (not skating) but i looked around for spots or at least evidence of skaters but i didnt find anything, is there any spots coz im planning to go back soonish :) im kinda familiar with the centre of york, by the main station and the cathedral and all that tourist bollocks.
nice video though, some of thwe skating was sick

I would like to see the perspective of the people who dislike rollers. I would like to hear from that security guard or that business owner’s thoughts about our sport and us in general hell even skateboarders, and that is a whole different thing in itself. Of course we all know or have an idea why but I think it would be cool to see and understand there nature of hate/dislike for us is. Other than that is is a well done documentary.

I gotta say I did enjoy that, but the talking sounded very redundant, you should try asking people different questions because too many of them replied exactly the same. But otherwise it was good
