July 5th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
True rollerblading don t need FX >>> 0:30 Montre or Perkett can do this without FX !
July 5th, 2009 at 10:21 pm

July 5th, 2009 at 10:28 pm

July 6th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Pat Lennen would kill that gap.. :L
July 6th, 2009 at 1:08 am
The gap demetrious george did is at UCLA, I’m pretty positive. It’s about half a mile long in real life. Impossible
July 6th, 2009 at 1:52 am

DAMN! wood pusher will have something to say again…. hahahahah but honestyl they should just have hired WALT AUSTIN to do that buliding gap, at least its gonna be real… but hey nice ad thou….
so the speedsticks were used for the rails and ledges right?!…..
July 6th, 2009 at 2:52 am
HAHAHA three of my favorite skaters ever. that flowed so well. fuck yeah! GETCHA PULL!
July 6th, 2009 at 4:56 am
I fucking love all three of those guys. thanks for the bad ass representation of rollerblading~!
July 6th, 2009 at 5:54 am
Great representation of our sport! I agree they could have gone without the fake tricks but it was still really good. Real/Pro skaters, no helmets and pads, legit grinds! Wow Nick, Connor and Demetrious must have had some input in making this. Rolling just might be on the verge of coming back!!!
July 6th, 2009 at 7:33 am
sick!!! i hope it goes on TV
July 6th, 2009 at 8:54 am
so sick! i doubt that people who arent involved in our sport will know how fake those tricks are haha.
July 6th, 2009 at 9:06 am
the best`s |,,/_
July 6th, 2009 at 9:18 am
hope this gets out on tv everywhere
July 6th, 2009 at 10:23 am
people will know its fake just as they know that cars flying (other tv ads) are fake. its just a “fun” exageration, nothing wrong in that. it’s a tv ad, not a skating video.
July 6th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Excellent !! ! a HHA :D
July 6th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
haha! that was awesome
July 6th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
hahah wtf awesome I hope they got paid well for the ad
July 6th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I really hope this gets airtime. Glad to see some real rollerbladers got to represent, and I hope they got paid well.
July 6th, 2009 at 6:05 pm

July 7th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
oooooh so they CAN do inhuman shit after all!
July 8th, 2009 at 4:18 am
For the Record I was the Location Scout for the Job and they gave me the opportunity to manipulate the Story Board and change their original ideas if I found anything I prefered for the skaters….
I spent a whole week scouting out L.A. and did my best to Make Rollerblading look good considering what they wanted…
Most of the stuff was real.. Including the Building that I grinded with a 10 story drop!
That was a Viral version though and a different version should be run for T.V.
Thanks for all the positive comments.. Hopefully if we keep contacts like this going we can get Rolling to a Point where we all are well off..
Thanks, Spartaaaaaa!!!
July 12th, 2009 at 6:35 am
i dont know, kinda lame. you could tell that the tricks were fake and to me it makes it look kinda poser. connor and nick dont need effects any ways.
July 12th, 2009 at 6:41 am
dang and demetrious, my bad. 215 peace
July 13th, 2009 at 4:26 pm

Demetrious is the man, period!
I´m so glad and happy that he is in the position to make blading and the USD great again!
congrats bro!
you are the man!

if skaters would be paid enought to risk there lives they would probably do that gab.. so no fx please… but it wasn´t a bad try….
oh and fred is right demitrious is the man! visit holland any time and stay at my place…. peace
