The competitions are also a great excuse to meet new people from all over the world who share one same common interest with each other, that is, rollerblading.
In 2005, for one reason or another, the producers of the X Games in the United States decided to drop both inline street and vert contests from their international television broadcasted show. One may ask, but why? Well, it is only strategic for one action sport such as skateboarding, to hate on another action sport such as rollerblading, so that the skateboarding industry can stay alive and feed off all the money from corporate sponsorships.

Troy Maimone, One of Dallas, TX’s finest on a pair of aggressive inline skates. Directed by Pat Leal.
Sidenote: Troy didn’t pick the songs for his section… Rather, the Leprechaun did. If you don’t like the music then press mute and put on some Doors, Beatles, Rolling Stones, or whatever else type of music you like! SYF!
Disinfo: Thanks to Josh Glowicki for providing additional golden clips that were supposed to be in “AU”.
