The Times They Are A-Changin’
This is an article written by Nick D’Amico of CanadianRoll and it focuses on how well rollerblading has utilized the internet to its advantage.
The article also offers ideas on some of the other ways the internet can be used to promote rollerblading to those who know nothing about it, or those who are just starting.
Man, I have wanted to write an article with a Bob Dylan title for a while now. Bob is the man. If you haven’t familiarized yourself with his music I highly suggest you do so ( I suggest working backwards with his first releases and working up until present day). Anyway, let’s get on topic.
The Internet and computers have changed the world works; there is no doubt about it. It is everywhere you go, from your office computer down to your trendy iphone.
We are inundated with this technology day after day; and like anything that is new, widely accepted, and world changing, those who are early adapters and innovators usually benefit the most. Some may argue that the Internet isn’t new, but I say fuck that. I still remember when it wasn’t expected that every home had a computer or when school computers had trackballs built into the keyboard, games were made up of pixilated bloc images, and my greatest source of information was Encarta.
All that shit happened in the 90s and I am not that old (or so I tell myself). So I don’t think I am going out on a limb here when I say we have yet to see the internet used to its full potential by many industries (except for maybe the porn industry, they are innovative bastards who have used the internet to make more than the MLB, NFL, and NBA combined. Proof).
This leaves me with one major question, how well has rollerblading adapted and utilized the Internet?

Nick, you need to shutup and realize no one cares about your opinions.

hmm, it was posted on here so at least one person does, myself included, it appears as though you were just proven wrong.
