Inline

I used to really be into this inline skating when I was in middle school and high school, I had these cool K2 skates that were the talk of the neighborhood, and me and the boys from the hood would skate around our condo complex jumping over speed bumps and making home made ramps on the tennis court, sometimes we would play music and show off for the neighbors, grinding on our waxed steps outside.

When I skated there were 4 wheels and a space in between two for grinding, now they have adapted the skates to only have 2 wheels.

This documentary was shot in my home town of Boston and extremely well done by a inline skater and art student. Enjoi....and skate till you die.....

Rollerblades are no longer a easy way to tell your parents your gay...these fruit boots fly high!
This documentary shows the brotherhood and comrade of the underground inline skating community. The bails are harder; but the bonds are stronger. The sport has been tossed out of the mainstream and even exiled from the X-Games leaving the streets as the source of showcase.
