why would the y brothers say that in line skating is not popular in japan?
i thought it was big in japan? maybe we have not yet hit rock bottom as far as popularity and participation goes, although the sooner we get there, the sooner we can begin to rebuild on a positive foundation

oh, and i loved how they started off by saying there was no “arrogance” in the Y brothers, i’m telling you, that is one of the biggest stereotypes about rollerbladers right now, that we’re all arrogant, selfish, and egotistical.
if any of us fit this stereotype right now, i think it would be a good time to reconsider the benefits of humility!

fourdown, it’s still in the asian x-games for now, although judging by the photos they showed, vert has a stronger foothold than street (13 pics of vert vs. only 3 of haffey) let’s hope for the best though!
