July 14th, 2009 at 9:48 am
WTF??? Many many hard tricks which are looking like shit! Please don’t organize contest like this, like spin2win because it’s totaly not this what rollerblading is about.
July 14th, 2009 at 11:01 am
so tell me what is rollerblading about then. cause the hate will not help skating in any kind of way. this was a show/contest just to show people a different way of skating not ur every day street skating. and people were realy stoked to see this specialy lil kids. wich means that they maby want to buy a pair of skates to start skating and when they do that means more money and more money means beter paychecks for the pros and biger contests whit beter prices instead of only 500 euros for the winner
July 14th, 2009 at 11:36 am
No man, he’s right, please don’t organize anything actually, just keep sitting on your ass in front of a computer screen, and talk shit on the Interwebz, because it’s totally what rollerblading is about nowadays…

This i one of the low points of my rollerblading life i come on this site to see how the rolling world is going peep new shit.but as of late all i see is kids talking shit if its an edit then its not good enough if its a new product its not good enough please please take notice of this post.
when about to post bullshit hate comments.
take this easy 3 step program
1)pick a good spot on your desk/work space if you have a laptop the find the nearest wall/hard item
2)take your head.
3)smash your head as hard as you can until you start to rember
that if your going to hate post an edit so you know what its like to work hard and get nothing back from the sport you love.
i understand not everyone like the same shit but why is there this need to bitch so hard.
as always peace and turkey grease
July 14th, 2009 at 12:19 pm

July 14th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Keep it up Sven!!!
July 14th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
edwin wieringh from France? =S He’s from the Netherlands.
July 14th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
guess edwin is not really good at handling pressure during a contest if u just look at the last trick he pulled of… that shit was outer space :D
he should work on that shit guess… if he wants to win contests that is
July 14th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
it all looked the same
comps like that are the worst
any wonder no decent pro’s went or it had any good sponsers?
July 14th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
people in the street will be impressed with anything, it doesnt matter what happens in the air, if they grab their tricks, if they are out of control, of they float nicely and fluidly with style… it takes time to appreciate things like that.
July 14th, 2009 at 5:38 pm

That was insane.
July 15th, 2009 at 11:07 am
I ‘m ok with this kind of contest but it s true that Europeans riders should sometimes work their styles , cause for me , Big tricks are important and I m really stoked by some tech tricks but I prefer to see Montre or Franky doing a soul grind on a small ledge with crazy style than see steve swain or godenaire doing 540 true porn ect…. but with no style…
It s just my opinion dont take it for hate !
July 15th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Wat a gay contest. The obstacles suck balls.
July 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
What a gay comment. Nope sucks balls
July 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
the contest was great… and the crowd of non skating people who where watching loved the spectacle !
this is the way to show rollerblading 2 non skating people… with the bigg stuff!
this is what makes lil kids want to start rollerblading…
haters are just people without the guts to do flat’s en cork’s thereselves…
get over yourself haters… haters are people who prob. skate from the ’90 and still suck… its normal that you hate yourselve then ;o)
July 15th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Those fools were all sloppy. Go to your local skatepark and cleanup your style then enter a comp.
July 15th, 2009 at 5:51 pm

July 16th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Mind The Gap is a good way to promote our sport to the masses! All the people over there that where not on skates loved it! This is what needs to be done to get some more people into skating for sure..
If you have ever been to IMYTA or something like that.. styles are not perfect you know.. as long as rollerblading looks sick to the people its a good thing! And believe me.. If you do a demo for people.. they will not notice if you do like a crazy styled out true top porn or whatever.. but they WILL notice the sick backflip.. thats what is going to stick in there heads!
So, yeah.. its a good thing!
Everybody give it their best to represent our sport to the max.. good job!
