Okay…
March 12th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
that’s the truth
March 12th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I actually feel sorry for those skateboarders…kinda.
March 12th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
that gave a laugh for my early morning, noice
March 12th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
what a load of bollocks
March 12th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
that’s actually the truth though. I’ve only seen one guy land a actually really hard trick and he’s about to become pro. All those who skateboard call us faggots and they can’t even land their tricks. To sports there’s a technique to everything so that you can do it successfully almost every time. Either they’re too fucking stupid to learn from their mistakes or they just suck. I’ve been to the skatepark and landed many of my runs for hours while I look around to see the same skateboarders trying the same fucking trick from when I got there, to simply launch kickflip off a fucking 3 ft. kicker ramp. That’s truly gay, if not gay then very, very mentally challenged. I guess that’s why they actually have special kids who skateboard cause even they can do it. doesn’t take much brains to put your feet on a piece of wood and push. it’s kinda like they can’t walk and chew gum without fucking up somehow.
March 12th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
the skatboarders are faking it though you can see the bail on purpose!
March 12th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
….that was funny!
March 12th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
But still I hate the whole skateboarder/rollerblader hussle…I don´t care about them since they seem kinda weird to me…with skateboarding it seems as if you first gotta wear the clothes and shoes, have the body-shape of a ten year old and THEN you start learning tricks…first the looks-then the skills…sucks…
But those who can skateboard well are usually just as chill guys as rollerbladers who´ve reached a certain skill level…wanna-bes hate…those who got skills just enjoy their love…weither it´s skateboarding or rollerblading…and to me that´s ok…
March 12th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
funny…? Not really, it’s not better than saying “rollerblading is easy…”, there are def skateboarders who can land a lot of hard tricks and not only pros…but I think this whole thing was meant to be funny so, OK it was a bit funny ;-)!
March 12th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Actually, I think most of the skateboarders can t land tricks.
Most of them just skate cause it s “cool”.
They ve no will to land a trick cause they don t understand the sport.
And they say as an excuse, “skateboarding is hard”.
In every skatepark we can see that, all those fags launching their boards whitout trying to land on it. It s so pathetic.
I can lace more tricks than most of the skateboarder and i didn’t touch a board for years.
March 12th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I see what they mean skateboarders are annoying with their constant failed tricks, if I am folliwing one into a rail I always stop and wait till they bail and roll their board away, whereas a blader u are pretty sure the rail will be clear after.
March 12th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
You can turn everything to look ridiculous … but that was amusing though!
March 12th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Most of the skateboarders I know can land a lot of tricks very consistently, but that’s because they’ve been skating for 5-6 years.
I don’t really have a problem with skateboarders, and I’m good friends with a lot of them, sop this video kinda sucks.
March 12th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
thats really the truth but it is not funny ! damn intolerance is dead!!
March 12th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
// You can turn everything to look ridiculous
Yes that’s definatly the point ; if you read the youtube comments, you see that some skaters were actually paid to fail at their tricks.
March 12th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
hahaha pretty funny… would have been better if they bagged on gay rollerbladers…..
the thing is, that skatepark is in sydney…
the skaters who skate there are all Fucking good!
I skate there atleast once week and i see fucking burly shit go down at that skatepark….
still funny but !
March 12th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
ALL skateboarders around my area are a bunch of fuckin assholes who fuckin suck and flip there dumb peice of wood around and land no tricks at all and get in the way on purpose in the skateparks…. i think every skateboard ever made should be used for FIREWOOD! SKATEBOARDING SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 12th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
pretty funny. we all know its just a joke. u can tell its fake lol they just purposly jump off and even i can land some of these tricks.
tho it does annoy me to repeatedly see skateboarders who fail to land things over n over.
March 12th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
sounds funny! lol

You are such a loser.
March 12th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Skateboarding doesn t suck !
It s a great sport as rollerblading is.
The fame attracted a lot of shit flies though.
i think most of the good skateboarder respect rollerbladers.
I admire some part of their industry. Just look some main skate videos, the way it s shot, edited, art works … We should focus on getting the same quality.
March 12th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
If someone is stupid, do you have to be as stupid as him or just ignore him?
i mean, this vid is funny, okay, but its a bit pathetic that we do like skateboarders did with us. we must push it up ,not fall it down in a bad culture like “look, i can be as stupid as you”
At the beginning, skateboarding is hardder and not really funny (thats why 90% of them just land 10% of their tricks), but at the top level, both are respectable. i just dont give a shit of that skateboarding VS rollerbalding clash, i do it for myself, i dont have to argue why i love it.
March 12th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
c trop de la merde ce truc! faut arreté de mettre de la merde sur rollernews!
March 12th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
ha ha errrr, just watch and rodney mullen edit and that’ll keep em quiet, but yeah fair point it is a common theme I myself have been amazed by the lameness of some skatboarders mixed with how cool they think they are, but I have also been made to stop and gaze as a skateboarder has seshed a park bettre than i could on my skates, though i really wanted to say pshhht easy, in all trueness I was set back in my ways and shown that a few skateboarders really can do it well.
All in all alot I’d say 90% of skateboarders are pretty shit and can only ollie and kickflip and even then they have a about 1 out of 5 success rate. But the small 10% can really kill it, and wether its just natuaral talent or pactice they make skateboarding the sucess it has been cus it does look damn impressive when it’s done well. The same with all things
March 12th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I really dont like skateboarding, but, man, ur right, You can turn everything to look ridiculous… on the video they didi it…
hehe
March 12th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
lol its so true nobody has ever landed a trick on a skateboard
anyway somebody needs to post a really good inline edit on that where no one misses a trick
March 12th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
ive got no beef with skaters tbh i actually made friends with the local good skaters at a party b4 we found out each others sports when the new park was built and i ripped it and saw them ripping it, its just the young kids that’re like 14-15 that just say like make hand gestures to us when we’re not looking or say shit to us when our headphones are in and then their mates give em respect for it so whenever they do shit like that i just call them out for it and they wee themselves and try to come up with some sort of funny retort but then yknow i just destroy them with my superior older interlect.
March 12th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
wow koubis congratulations on the successful launch of your internet roller-tard collector.
March 12th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
funny but not that they cant land “any” tricks.. its just super super rare when you see a trick landed… and to see something good landed is even more rare
March 13th, 2008 at 1:00 am
wow i really hate how they cant do shit on a board and somehow they r soo cool and popular i really dont under stand how u can be cool if u cant land shit
my friend skateboards and the only thing he does is launch the board off kickers and almost wipes out everyone and he has been doin it for 8 yrs and he hasnt landed shit
skateboarding rlly does suck
March 13th, 2008 at 1:10 am
This is shit im ashamed to be a Aussie with such a fucked up segment. Do to Riverside Skatepark in the middle of Melbourne CBD and do that. Either you will see the craziest moves from 12yr olds or that wanker dressed up getting his head knocked off.
If you have never skateboarded you know nothing. Its super hard to be consistent skateboarding. I don’t understand some of you guys on here, skateboarding pros are like gods to the skateboarding community but when a dude puts his video on here every one is like my mates can do better than him you shouldn’t be pro. NO FUCKING RESPECT!
March 13th, 2008 at 1:51 am
WOOOORRRDDDD LUKAS, nothing more said…..
March 13th, 2008 at 2:29 am
man i dont know what its like where you live
but if the skateboarder rollerblader fight is going on still, your living in the past
come to australia where everyone loves everyone
March 13th, 2008 at 2:53 am
i dont like to see this kind of thing being as that even though i rollerblade i also film skateboarding everyday and have also made some money with it but more importantly friends
They respect me for being a roller and i respect them they work hard at what they do and the shit is hard and when they have good days i get quite a bit of awsome clips
i am a true roller never even once thought about being a skateboarder but i do respect it cause even some of the pros that i film respect me and are way chill to me so why not do the same
March 13th, 2008 at 4:44 am
Just shows what ever is popular at the time, people take the piss out of. It is skateboardings turn.
March 13th, 2008 at 5:51 am
nat you are so right.
this skateboarding vs. rollerblading thing is over, or just for 15 year olds that feel a need to hate on something/anything.
everyone can learn to respect skill for whatever it is that they do.
…that being said, skateboarders tend to be alergic to consistancy. and that video was funny (although inaccurate, Bakes was right about riverside putting out some crazy ass skateboarders)
March 13th, 2008 at 8:56 am
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHAHHHHHHA
March 13th, 2008 at 9:58 am
that wasnt funny at all-i dunno why people find it funny-skateboardings should still be respected, as ive grown to respect it-bring on the hate haha
March 13th, 2008 at 10:46 am
bahahaha waterloo skatepark rian’s right but quite alot of the skateboarders there are assholes anyway its actually an advert FOR skateboard so fuck that
March 13th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I totally aggree that there arent many Good or Awsum skatboarders around that ive seen that are in it for the culture and sport and love of the feel that you get when you create a sweet line around the park or street Curb,rail…. ive only really seen 1 kid around 13years old with all the threads and helmet.. at my local skate park be there not to waste time but actually achieve somthing when their there weather it be working on the control and learning a trick and doing what they know.
in Australia its like some Australians here have said, you ll see most of those lil shit heads that say things like “hey rollerblader do a backflip”…. them being from a age of 12-16years, ive been to a number of places mostly good parks(which there isnt a abundence of) you ll see skateboarders aged 17-30+ ripping the bowl at bondi beach skate park as well as doing some smooth lines and Monster park at sydney(Olympic park) 99% are noobs or on the verg or being alright and focused on what their doing and getting it right, and there are a few young ones getting in there and doing good on the vert and indoor park, and the vets around 20+ that are sweet azz on the mini and indoor park.
March 13th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I was just skating yesterday I am currently pissed the fuck off with arrogant skateboarders who race round the park and will not alter there lines for u, one of the twats dropped in as I came off a rail and I went str8 into him honestly they think they own the park.
March 14th, 2008 at 12:45 am
well First off Booby. get a fucking life you half-tard . You must be like 13 years old or something to be so stupid. 2nd. People take a look at the Tony Hawk video games series. How they made characters of us to be gay fools. Look at the interview that Tony Alva had on national tv. Or how about the disrespect that was shown by the older skaters who actually run the whole X games events or spike tv, Mtv and others. There’s major disrespect there and even on our own website, we have skateboarders masking their names but not their actions/feelings about our sport/lifestyle.
It’s true like I said before, they can land tricks normally not hard ones but the fact is that their sport is no harder than ours. How hard is it to flip a board with your feet, if you mess up to jump off the board and walk away, how hard is it to pump and only gain a little air cause you refuse to listen to someone who’s sport is superior in difficulty, this is skateboarding that claims to be so hard but really isn’t. I use to skateboard but that is something I grew out of cause for me skateboarding was too easy and it was a waste of wood. There are a few, very few guys who are descent but I know that’s under a hundred worldwide. whereas with bladers, it’s in the thousands and that says a lot cause that means the line is getting closer but still is far off. Unlike skateboarding. Xgames, I see them fall all the time, Dew tour same thing, Same as triple crown. Point is that they surely suck. Oh and it’s not cause their sport is so hard or harder than ours. It’s cause they’re too fucking stupid to learn from their mistakes. It’s not just the young ones, it’s the older ones as well. The difference is that those who understand respect will give it and won’t be ignorant to something cool. This is why the war started and continues to go on.
March 15th, 2008 at 11:36 am
Now i think it’s gay to do this skateboarders Vs rollerblader thing.
grow up for good sake.
UNLESS YOU TRIED TO SKATEBOARD AND DO KICKFLIP OVER SOMETHING DONOT JUDGE.
Skateboarding has its limits…yeah the tricks are “rough looking” “short” and they cannot do so high objects or deep so easily but it’s totally different sport and I have skateboarded so I can say it is hard.
I just pray and hope that rollerblading won’t become trendy EVER.
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 am
im a skater and that is just a load of shit
