Check the cool shit that companies like Them Skates are doing. Blading was abandoned by mainstream/pop culture, which made it become a truly open and self-supporting community and creative culture.

Clowning on blading is still lame.

I learned an old colleague of mine is an active blader, in Lagos. There’s a documentary about them on YouTube. Inspiring stuff. Clowning is overrated.

Couldn't put it better than Marin! : )
Thanks for the Orange interview! Love his writing and interview style -- he always sounds like a human rather than a 'creative professional.'
