it’s good to see farmer wear old school stuff.
just like back in the day…..
June 28th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
This edit was a real treat to watch lol. Seeing Farmer wear that style just brings back those memories. You know Farmer might just be skating and having fun now a days but he has to know he had such an impact on skating, back in the 2000′s everybody wanted his style. He was my Pro skater I looked up to for new tricks and techniques. The baggy style is the way I remember him.

“look at this faggot in his emo girlpants…” :D:D:D
i like this edit!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
fucking awesome, sooo xxxxxl hillarious
June 28th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
fockin hilarious fo show
June 28th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
loved every bit of that edit. HANDS ON THE BIBLE!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Hate to say it but the skating looks better in baggy clothes, even though Farmer is the style master in any clothes. All the layers of cloth hides jeph “chucker” style well to
June 28th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
the best edit EVER !!! they understand everything
June 28th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
i don`t want to start a discussion about fashion, but i have to say, that it looks more grown up for nonrollerbladers to wear the tighter pants
and i don`t speak about emosupertightpants.
if shima, stockwell, browkow, farmer, and all the other heros of our sport still would wear baggys, it would look comical and not grown up!
i think the tight pants thing is a kind of the evolution of our sports.
when you are 16 years old, maybe its ok to wear the supergangster xxl pants and shirts at school and skating, but when you grow up you realize, that it looks goofy, and no one can deny that fakt!
sick edit!
June 28th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
best edit ever!!! hahahaha sooo hilarious!
June 28th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
God Damn thank god they will never where those clothes again with there stiff ugly ass tricks lmao go back to doing ur stiff fukin tricks with your tight mandies pants and leave the gangsta juice clothes to niggas with bend and some style u fucking tree motherfuckers. Those clothes dont take away from ur ugly tricks once stiff always stiff rofl GDOG SKEZZZZZ IN DA HOUSE
June 28th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
girlpants…button-ups…^^
i would definatelly buy a video in which you guys wear these clothes again…but…you forgot the main difference between the old days and today…today the upcoming videos are all that artistshit & stuff, its only about the filming, not the skater, back in the days there were sections like leading the blind – chris haffey, where every single trick was a hammer…there was no cheap lineskating with a soul and then another simple trick like it is today so often…but in this vid it was of course not only like that, it wasnt a section either, so thanks alot for that pleasure, esp farmer. sorry but i dont like girlpants and that stuff..the old way is a bit too crazy but sth in between would be nice. but everyone should wear his own style, whatever…I prefer the hiphop way…btw it was very nice how you picked out the music, there were many memories…THX ALOT 4 THAT
June 28th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Best edit ! The capped hole in the wall was too funny
June 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
That was class seeing farmer baggy with the different style
June 28th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
OMFG
best edit ( and better cloth) for ages…
June 28th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
“seven years ago”
That is the most style any of those guys had in seven years.
I know it was made as a joke, but the rel joke is that it looked better than the sections that those guys put out today.
To those of us who have been around 15+ years, the tight pant thing is still a retarded fad.
If the wanted to look silly they should have worn jinco jeans with duct tape at the bottom, bonless knee pads and sticker covered aero helmets.
This section is making fun of our golden age. The time when we had the most skaters and style. I have just lost all respect for everyone in this edit.
June 28th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I wanted to see farmer stall the top step then do the rail
June 28th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
hahahahaha
the capped hole was epic…had me laughing for minutes…
thoroughly entertaining.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Mooooore!!
I want mooooore!!!!!
Chris!!!! AAAAAAAAAA
So stylish!!!!
If I saw a profile in such stile i would be a happiest blader…..
Fuck like back in a day….
I really want more…..
Please…..
June 28th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
ya id like to see skating like that again. no this nutt hugger pants today.
Capped hole was fucking funny as hell
June 28th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
shit was amazing
June 28th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
gotta stay baggy… all three styles are way to good with baggy clothes
June 28th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I loved the 4 Down T-shirt at the end! That is a MN throwback!
Fun edit.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
I really really enjoyed watching this =) they are legends
June 28th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
tis true that rollerblading was much more popular when people dressed like that, would it hurt if the top pros did so again????
June 28th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
That edit was awesome! What there really doing is making fun of the whole obsession with what people wear while rolling. I believe Franky Morales is the most stylish roller in the world. I believe Stockwell is the best line skater in the world. Maybe its all in the pants. I like the boys to flow free and some like to keep them caged, to each his own.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I don’t understand people who give so much importance to clothes.
It seems for them that skating and “steez” is all about that … personally, I don’t care how they dress ahah
June 28th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Hahahahaha, great idea, even better worked out!!!
Absolutely LOVING the humor and vibe, thank you.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
clothes dnt matter to me
but nowadays if these dudes wore super xl tees and sweats forever they wuld look like poser white boys in the eyes of everyone who doesnt skate..
only hood niggas culd get away with it like montre and franky
but the edit was sick.super funny
June 28th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Just loved this edit
nice seeing them wear oldskool clothes
….and farmer on carbons!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
no offense but who gives a fuck about what people or skaters wear now a days, only chicks care about what someone wears, i dont care if they dressed like clowns, they’re still awsome skaters.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
tighter pants = more grown up? haha if you say soo, maybe you should write for GQ magazine.
edit was fresh as fuck
June 28th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Man some of you are funny.
June 28th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
adam johnson, not as funny as when u fell of that building onto ur side u shit, only able to soul rails cunt!!!
June 28th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
juste only good to see farmer with old style…..!!!!!!!!! really like
June 28th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
sick edit, made me nostolgic !
June 28th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
haha those clothes aren’t even that throwback for jeph! lack of fastslides.
June 28th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I start skating becose i see profile with old Chris Farmer(6 years ago)and when i first time see Farmer in girl pant,i think that i end with skating…the old Farmer was legend,and I’m so very sorry that he makes fun from this..
June 28th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Just wait till you kids are 30.. you’ll change your mind, trust me. I like to skate in the same clothes I would wear everyday and as you get older, you’ll realize that you look a little foolish among your peers in your baggy outfits..that’s just how it is.
Kids can get away with it, but when you’re 30 and you’re still wearing size 36 pants, you need to start evolving a little..
btw, I’m not saying wearing super tight pants is better, just commenting on the baggy thing..
June 28th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
great edit to watch so funny where he tried to jump thru that hole again
June 28th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
looks like rk is already inspiring some people to bring back their og wear good lads. cool edit
June 28th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
chris… man… i dont know where you live or how people are there, but where ive lived i dont give a shit and people dont give a shit how me or other skaters are dressed.
and besides that, why should i care what nonskaters think about us? i dont give a shit!! all i have heard from non skaters when they watch us skate is: “WOW!” “YOU ARE GONNA BREAK YOUR LEGS YOUNG MAN!” “DO IT AGAIN!” “HEY MAN, THAT IS CRAZY!” i have NEVER heard “you people are immature/childish/stupid/ridiculous…”.
why do you skate? to amaze others? join a fukin circus then!!
and finally…that theory about evolving or growing up means getting tighter… that is just an opinion for yourself and maybe others like you. i’m 27, been skating since i was 13, i skate with people who are from 17 to 30, and each one has their own style of clothes. and the older skaters DONT go tighter. what i have concluded is that those who wanna be promoted all the time, skate for video/photo sessions only, and copy the skating from the pros also tend to copy their clothes, follow the trends, and go tight (and hipster like). then we all just have a laugh at them.
June 28th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Farmer needs a haircut … BAD … Bob Dylan changed his hairstyle … so should he … hahaha
Other then that, I like to skate in the nude … metal on ballsack is awsome
June 28th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
hahaha that was good, whoever said that they are making a mockery of rollerblading’s “golden age” is a wally, nothing will ever be golden about fiction fucking sweatpants and horrible trs. Rollerblading obviously looked best from about 97 – 00
June 28th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
omg this was thee most fun to watch laughed almost the whole way through it an farmer cleary looked betta bk in the day
p.s i want famer sweatshirt more than anything in the world right now lol
June 28th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
i think rollerblading looks the best right fucking now!!
maybe a fashion trend was better suited for you back in the day and maybe their were a lot more skaters back then too, but the skating itself is absolutely boss right now. if for no other reason than that there are so many different eclectic styles. some people skate lines and some still go big, but the diversity that spurs all this nonsense is a beautiful thing. our sport has matured into something bigger than any one of us or any of our individual ideas and opinions.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
AYE AYE!!! One of best edits…
June 28th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Carlos,
You’re right, in the end it’s just a personal choice and nothing more..I appreciate the fact that there are a lot of different styles in the scene and not just one.
It’s just how I felt when I started to get older..it’s funny, I was actually not skating very much for a while and getting bored with it, and then the ‘fitted’ pants style sort of gave me new motivation to skate again..haha. It brought something new to the mix..
Oh well, everyone let their freak-flag fly..peace.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
OMG IT’S WORDS ALL OVER AGAIN!!
June 28th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Was this good?
YES it was!
btw I still rocking baggy pants. <3 em
June 28th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
I hate to break it to you chris…fitted pants isnt something new anymore. Everyone dresses like that now, sweatpants is now the minority. I like both styles just the same, but most people look the exact same. Just like how they looked the same when everybody used to wear sweatpants. I like the diversity.
June 28th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
haha..you think I just now noticed the fitted style? I’ve been wearing fitted pants for years now, but for skating I just started to wear them about a year ago..
June 28th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
chris farmer new favourite skater
June 29th, 2009 at 12:35 am
this edit was amazing, it brought back a memories.i luv it. im gonna download it n convert it to avi n watch on my 42″. :D
June 29th, 2009 at 12:43 am
feinberg and dion were reppin the tights since nearly back in the day(circa 97/98 cough cough Levis).
*Post 2000, esp like 2002 and 2003 is not back in the day, VG 6 and 7 are New school in my eyes
wuminizer is hilarious, takin personal offense to AJ’s remark, hahaha, sorry.
In general wear what you want when you want to wear it, if your comfortable, you better off kids.
June 29th, 2009 at 1:07 am
both styles are sick tbh!.. each to there own.
but when most of the people bitching about Baggy is better… when your 18 and you realise you still havent been laid!!.. you’ll look down at your xxl joggers and wonder why!
June 29th, 2009 at 1:32 am
“oh no its capped!” brilliant..
June 29th, 2009 at 1:55 am
who cares about being laid when you can skate and do something really sick -_-
June 29th, 2009 at 2:43 am
The should now dress like Farmer for their next vid.
June 29th, 2009 at 2:45 am
I loooove this video. Does anyone know some of the songs played in that? That old school g music is phat! lol
June 29th, 2009 at 3:50 am
truly entertaining!
June 29th, 2009 at 4:03 am
OOOOOOOoOOOOOO i just love these boys who dress like trash bags. Here in Milan people use trash bags for all sorts of super fashionable accessories like man purses and somewhere to put waste. Rollerblading fashion is obviously the most important part of skating so if you’re concerned with anything but how they dress stab yourself in the face with a rusty screwdriver. This is Joan Rivers reporting live from Milan all you queers.
June 29th, 2009 at 4:14 am
I feel bad for you if you judge people by the way you dress. Shows what kind of individual you are. Go kill yourself.
June 29th, 2009 at 4:14 am
that was great… even better was all the old songs used for this edit
June 29th, 2009 at 4:38 am
Ohhh !! I HATE THIS TOPIC – cloth ! (puke) i dont care bout clothing !
Folks, pay attention to the good (not so) old style of skating – it was amazing for me back in those days !
June 29th, 2009 at 5:00 am
Someone said it earlier. To us who have been skating 12+ yrs the whole “tight pant” thing is still a fad. I sure hope so. I liked watching Farmer in this edit just as much as I liked watching him 5+ yrs ago.
June 29th, 2009 at 5:39 am
you dudes have no idea how happy that edit made me. also farmer on deshi carbons would be ridiculous i imagine
June 29th, 2009 at 6:47 am
Never wore ridiculously baggy sweatpants, but they were big on me Skated those for a good 4 years. Then I tried jeans and liked those better because they were stronger and didn’t give me rug burns, and went a good 2 years with that. Finally I tried slim jeans, and love them simply because I feel like I have more power and control with them on. I don’t think there’s any advantage to skin tight jeans, and I’m not going to try that out, but maybe those have their advantages too.
It’s not all about style, there’s other reasons why people where tighter clothing. I’d say style is more of a fad if anything, rollerblading also used to be about the big tricks.
June 29th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Pants: a highly debated topic since the dawn of rollerblading.
June 29th, 2009 at 8:50 am
why is it either BAGGY or TIGHT
why the fuck not NORMAL SIZE FITTING NORMALLY PANTS??
June 29th, 2009 at 9:03 am
I wear normal size pants when skating, man. And I don’t care what people are wearing.
But I really enjoyed this as it reminds me of the days I was discovering skating, with KFC III, Understimated… which are still my favourites vids !
The capped hole with the music from Farmer’s part in Understimated really made me lol, and the whole edit made me smile ! Thank you guys !!
June 29th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I forecasted this happening years ago. Me and my friends always said how cool it would be to see farmer in a piss take edit of what he used to wear.. I am so glad you guys came through with that.
June 29th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Eric quit kidding yourself -_-
thats why allll those skaters just seem to look alike right? because they all of a sudden figured out simultaneously that its much better to skate in tighter jeans huh?
June 29th, 2009 at 11:31 am
If you guys want to wear tight Pants that’s okay you can do what ever you want but don’t diss skating because of baggy clothes. Cuz when when you do that your making fun of the peole that made rollerblading the sport you love.
I’m not saying it’s the pants but farmers best sections were words and kfc 3. I’m sure dl could kill it tighties but he didn’t and his got one of the best styles in rolling. Racard, murda, vinny and Frankie was what made skating amazing. One of the most epic baggy skaters of all time is alex broskow in kfc 3.
As for tight pant skaters I feel the only one that does it good enough to make me want to buy a vid is alex broskow. It seems like now roller vid are made to look like a skate board vid. Tight pants and lines. We shouldnt try to copy this because skateboarding is harder so making a line dressed like a Jonas bro is pretty intense. But as roller we need do things differant
We can go all the way
June 29th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Sorry I just got out the bar and I
pretty drunk
June 29th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
amazing edit they killed everything
June 29th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
What about Blood!!!??? They made mad sick wheels silly fresh stupid dumb yo!
June 29th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Broskow cracks me up too. He went from gangster to emo at the speed of light.
June 29th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Broskow isnt an emo you douche
June 29th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Amazing! Mindgame should have released that sweater.
June 29th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
for all thouse kids who maked fun of josh letona wearing the baggy pants … enjoy you idiots.. rollerblading it´s about style not fashion!
June 29th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
come on everyone this video should only make everyone do one thing, miss mindgame and salomon
June 29th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
i bet if chris jeph nd brett wore baggy clothes all the time now so many kids would be on there dick nd start wearing baggy just do you wear what ya feel comfortable in sk8ing shouldnt be a fashion show hating on people if they wear baggy or tight pants just do you
June 29th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
i have those fiction baggys!!! would never dream of wearing them now purely because of the stick i would get for doing so. But if i could i would cause of the comfort, the added padding for falls lol and well i thought they were awesome at the time…
June 29th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Funny that you kids just do what they wanted you to do hehe, they are sooo laughing their ass off at the moment.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
I had the smile on my face the whole time…fuck clothes!!!!skate naked!!!!
June 29th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Compression shorts(they give me total control) and a pink v-neck and Im set. Oh yeah, and my Roces kutis too…
June 29th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
I can agree that it feels wierd skating in xxl sweats when you’re 20+… But on the other hand its just as juvenile to skate in xxs jeans! Why does it have to be the extremes?
June 29th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
i’ve never understood jephs pants. and im my mind i just keep thinking “he still dresses like that anyway” desovic whatever wears normal sized clothes. farmer wears the paint on jeans. all of’em are good at skating….but uhhh yeah. woulda been cool to see farmers old hammers
June 29th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
I think any style of clothing can look sick. But what really matters is the tricks. The only thing that pisses me off about people who wear tight pants is that so many of them suddenly feel it’s fine to abandon doing difficult and dangerous tricks, and just do stylish and mediocre lines instead. Without stair gaps and drop rails our sport looks pathetic to non-bladers, and it does matter what we look to them, because we’re going to completely die out if we can’t impress an audience.
Honestly, I think big tricks look even sicker in tighter jeans, but maybe that’s because it’s such a shock to see these days. I love Farmers new style, simply because he didn’t lose his balls along with the extra material.
June 29th, 2009 at 10:15 pm

If that video was longer everybody would buy it.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:28 am
one of the most entertaining edits i’ve seen in a while!
props for showing that rollerblading is about HAVING FUN and fuck anything else. Good job
June 30th, 2009 at 2:11 am
Wow, does this mean rollerblading is worth watching again?
..oh wait no, people are still obsessed with the sketchy tight jeans fad
June 30th, 2009 at 2:13 am
Rollerblading went downhill since everyone started to dress themselves to suit the public
June 30th, 2009 at 2:16 am
“seven years agoâ€
That is the most style any of those guys had in seven years.
I know it was made as a joke, but the rel joke is that it looked better than the sections that those guys put out today.

What song was that for jephs 1st move on the farmer rail?
June 30th, 2009 at 5:06 am
“To those of us who have been around 15+ years, the tight pant thing is still a retarded fad.”
15 years huh…. Join the club.
June 30th, 2009 at 9:07 am
hahahahahahaha shits just funny… so much arguing over style
June 30th, 2009 at 9:08 am
if u can make the shit look good, do ur thing
June 30th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
best edit every keep doing it bros
June 30th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Farmer should have done the long clean mistrial opening to ‘Hands on the Bible’. You guys really have a big collection of old school clothes, they are really awesome especially the Mindgame jumper and the black Denial shirt, Just wear them w/ normal pants, you should sell them to me. the skating in this edit looks so much better. Its good to see that people have sense by reading most of the comments and see that people are too concerned w/ clothing sizes and what people think of them.
June 30th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
skatinglooks way better in baggy clothes
June 30th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
MY NUTS ARE BIGGER THEN YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 11:39 pm

July 1st, 2009 at 1:56 am
Really though, you guys have honestly proven that you still have it
This edit really made we want to skate, it’s just a shame that you guys are so narrow minded that you would mock a time of rollerblading when it was at its best.
July 1st, 2009 at 3:22 am
the capped hole honestly made me laugh out loud at my cubical.
thank you.
July 1st, 2009 at 1:03 pm
The capped hole was fucking hilarious.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:57 am

July 4th, 2009 at 7:22 pm

July 5th, 2009 at 4:53 am

March 8th, 2012 at 10:25 am
you fags are way too obsessed with guys and what pants they wear.
March 8th, 2012 at 11:15 am
It s not about the clothes, it’s about what universe a guy like Farmer brings you to when he skates. Clothes are just a little part of it.
Anyway when people hate on people evolving and being nostalgic about the past, it means you are doing it right.
Farmer is a legend
March 8th, 2012 at 11:53 am
I have and sell one of those Denail Farmer pro tees in size M or something.
If interested: fridoline@freemail.hu
March 8th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Holy re-post Batman!
Despite the fact they’re mocking their old style by dressing this way, everything looks sick as fuck.
I don’t know if it’s because larger clothes eccentuate and emphasise the movement of the individual rollerblader, but something about XXL just works for me.
And no, that’s not a “I won’t rollerblade with tight-jeaned people” comment before anyone thinks I’m having a “pantz” debate.
March 8th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
im just jealous of all the cool mindgame stuff that farmer has =(
March 8th, 2012 at 2:00 pm
take away the clothing. look at the difference in personalities betwEen skinny and baggy. xxxl call the skinnys fags when its really the other way around
March 8th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
he he he…too much talking about clothes….
March 8th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
wow, a repost… Slow new cycle on rollernew huh
March 8th, 2012 at 3:45 pm

Rollerbladers are weird almost no one has their own clothing style i mean even the guys that where saggin like a jail whore wear tight pants now because everyone does it…
Nothing better than a sweat pant on a warm day i love the wind around my balls while skating!
Even slightly wider pants make tricks just look better because it hides the way your tights and lower legs bend on tricks.

they’re all so sick its gona look good whatever they are wearing.
some of the comments above are hilarious. iv never thought wearing super baggy clothes looked good, in fact it looks ridiculous as soon as the skates come off. but whatever, its the skating that matters.
what i dont get though at all is how people can say doing lines copies skateboarding, and you either do lines or you do big stunts…what? doing a line means you have to land all your tricks consistently and it takes skill and makes everything look like it flows and that you’re comfortable on your skates. since when is that a bad thing!? and if you dont think people in tight jeans do big hammers anymore then you’re a fucking blading retard

YAY win for humanity! Now don’t go back to ur gay pants!
March 8th, 2012 at 7:59 pm
well think about this. grabs have made it back big into blading and i believe its simply because grabs look way more stylish with tight jeans

You should not skate in tight pants you jews
March 8th, 2012 at 9:16 pm
I didn`t really enjoy it. I feel as if style is more enjoyable in tighter clothes. This wasn`t all that bad tough, but, rememmber – PAST SHOULD STAY DEAD.
March 8th, 2012 at 10:13 pm
tight pants are comfortable and in my opinion easier to skate in, I don’t believe tight pants are a fashion statement. it’s like have you ever seen anyone in the Olympics wearing baggy shit? NO because at that point it’s a performance thing
but tight or baggy just skate have fun and do some badass original shit

I don’t know how I missed this edit in 2009. But it made my day. Love it.

I wanna see broskow wear baggy pants and make a hammers edit again lol. I love how the tricks in this edit were the best I have seen of them in years. Keep it baggy if your going to keep lacing sick tricks like that.

March 9th, 2012 at 5:09 am

March 9th, 2012 at 6:02 am
baggy pants are so sick. but tight pants are better you know? cause that’s the in thing. but it wasn’t when baggy pants were in. so people in tight pants got made fun of. you dig? right?

DarthRoller is one of the most insightful commenters around here, keep it up bro!
on the other hand, farmer in baggy clothes really brings up old memories.
it’s a matter of what one likes, but to me, larger pants look better than skin tights jeans.
I also really like how normal jeans look and feel (sort of what haffey is wearing these days).

People need to get off the “gangster” shit. It’s lame as hell. There really isn’t anything “gangster” about rollerblading.

That’s an interesting point, which works both ways.
So many people label the Valo brand as “hipsters”. I’m not saying that’s right or that’s wrong, it’s just an association that a lot of people make. I wouldn’t say there’s anything “hipster” about rollerblading.
Or a good number of years ago (circa 2003 or 2004) when Roces re-branded their image, they had the likes of Short and Dunkle, pushed the rock music and most of the rollers on the team wore “tight” trousers (comparatively speaking to the XXXL of the time). I wouldn’t say there’s anything “rock and roll” about rollerblading necessarily.
It’s made up of a large number of people with eclectic tastes (the “sport”/subculture I mean) which is what makes it so diverse. Also, our age and how we portray ourselves has a direct influence on how our younger rollers feel and perceive what the activity represents.
The closest association I’ve ever felt to a music genre was underground hip-hop. That could be Dave Paine’s VG’s and the clothing style seeping into my brain, but rollerblading shares the same sense of D.I.Y. spirit, is often overlooked and is trodden on by a bigger sister, bigger action sports that have become “mainstream” or whatever (skateboarding/BMXing) in a similar way that good, honest hip-hop acts that talk about self-worth, poverty and social rebellion can’t get a word in over it’s bigger sister, the pathetic, auto-tuned “gangster” rap that’s all down the radio about disrespecting your woman, valuing material wealth above all else and living a meaningless existence in-between getting high. So I feel that underground hip-hop and rollerblading share a lot of common elements and hence that one defies the other.
All that analysis and thought-spewing aside, we don’t need to take ourselves that seriously, myself included. Put on the clothes you feel comfy in, strap your boots on, roll, have fun, push yourself. That’s the thing which unites us all regardless of image choice and that’s what should come across in videos. Personally, I’m a XXXL guy (still) even though most of my friends wear tight jeans. On a session, clothes never really get discussed. I just love that look or style or whatever you want to call it, mainly because, for me, it feels like ours. I’m still relatively “new school” to older heads, started in 2001 and when I was rolling (where I lived anyway) the BMXers wore tight clothes, the skateboarders were beginning to tighten up their clothes and the rollerbladers wore huge clothes. It was “our” thing. Plus I adored (good, not gangster) hip-hop anyways, so it clicked and still does. I still wear a shirt and normal-sized jeans when I go drinking and shit!
I typed way too much there. Enjoy what you do. Seeing Farmer in baggies ticked my nostalgia box and put me back in the grom days, which is where the memories are fondest. I still feel good when I land a big trick in my Mindgame hoody and Fiction sweats.
Whatever works for ya, just enjoy yourself!

wear sweatpants = start the biggest discussion on rollernews EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Glad to see their fun edit has sparked such passion. I enjoyed watching it.
March 9th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Think for yourself – I will wear baggy because I think it looks better/makes skating look better. I don’t give a monkeys if tight is the ‘in’ thing. I can assert myself being myself rather than being some clone.
March 9th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
that was entertaining. nice to see these guys still killin shit
March 9th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
holy wall of text im not reading that
March 9th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
what do you mean “throwback” jeph? you were wearing those clothes two years ago.
March 11th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
it’s funny because this was the best edit I’ve seen of any of them within the past few years…maybe they shouldn’t be so trendy
