Humanities 1010 had us do a creative project and this is about the only thing I have an easy time writing a 3 page paper on. Thought i’d share it with the rollerblade community.
Dozens of car loads of rollerbladers headed up to Woodward West for the first contest of the 2010 Amateur Inline League season.
The stage was set, and kids antsy and anxious after a long winter were poised to get their blade on.
And blade they did. Rollerbladers came from as far away as Utah, Brazil, and Venezuala, and of course all over California, for the chance to compete in the AIL and skate the highly-regarded Hangar 18 park at Woodward West. Snow fell outside as the action inside began to heat up. [...]

I wanted to start a wheel company without forcing my riders to leave their current sponsors so I started Genre to be marketed and sold separately from Denial. The first video was a lot of work but it ended in success and I planned to follow it up in one year.
Shortly before the release of this video I lost two of my pros. Then another pro needed his footage for his skate sponsor, while another was skating less and less. There were troubles with the law, trouble with money, children, night shifts, family: nothing but drama. It seemed wrong to put out a video without a single section by our pro riders.
The company changed and I apologize to all my current Denial pro riders for holding onto this footage for so long. Your skate sponsors have changed, your clothing has changed, your music tastes have changed but your footage is too good to be left unseen. …or maybe we’re just in Denial.
