Is it!? I used to skate back in 04-06 When guys like Haffey and Farmer were considered the best Sometimes I wish I never quit skating, some fun times I used to have with my boys, but I think I just lost interest cause I felt it was too risky for very little payout
William Porter... it’s making a come back on the underground scene and it’s amazing to see the level of progression that it has gotten to in the last 20yrs
@@williamporter2131 yeah in 2006 they were dropping more harder tricks. But for rollerblading as a sport it was better in 1999 and 2000 cause it was open to everyone. Once those 12 year old skaters got 16 or 17 and just started wrecking everything and they had an attitude to go with it that wasn't good for skating or at least good for the growth of it. But you right they were definitely the best we seen. Just zero on personalities. Which chris haffey interview or even an aaron fienberg interview. I can't even get through them. Then go watch a rachard johnson interview it slows smooth
I was there!! Matt Salerno and all the skaters were at a indoor skatepark in Santa Rosa training and I was looking for a diff skate part but a man gave us directions to this hidden skatepark and I met all my heroes as a little kid skating with them while they trained for the x games
Growing up in Burlington, VT I remember driving up to Taj Mahal skatepark and seeing Nicky Adams. He was a super nice guy. Would talk to all the kids and went so big.
Man i was 14 at this time and looked up to all these guys, and they were only a couple years older than me. I still think blading is cool, sad that it died
@@itschamesbitch What a remarkably moronic statement. If it took no talent it would be impossible for people to push to do harder things. Name one person who is capable of doing anything on inlines. What a pathetic existence you must have.

Wow, I remember watching this live. I was a hockey player so skateboarding was almost a no no cuz one injury would ruin my career so I skated a bit but did inline most of the time. I had the Aaron Feinberg(I think I spelled that right) pro model and fucking loved them. Wish inline was back in x games
Thanks for the upload. This is a vital piece of skating history and History from our human civilization in general. (Edit) : Yeah, Aaron was right. The park is too slow. They shouldn't have painted everything black in such heat and nothing is waxed. A nightmare to skate a competition in. I have experienced similar.
I just watched that movie. One of my favorites!! Jordi Jordi Jordi!!! When you woke up today. Did you say to yourself, today I’m gonna talk or today I’m gonna skate??
We started skating around '90/91. Mighty Ducks was our jam when it came out and instantly hockey sticks started showing up. Talk about brutal! LMAO! We were all leaving school between 96-98 and just trying to figure out our lives. I missed this flick! Excuse me while I cruise over to Block Buster and rent this. It's on Disney ;)
Look at how far they have to skate to get to the next feature lmao. We've learned a thing or two since designing this course. Features are way closer now.
I taped over my own footage to catch this golden era of inline ♥️ I am actually so spewin as my m8 Clinton, the killa in my cru died not long after, I wish I kept our footage 😕
yeah, they were all so young. he is on instagram and skate sometimes. lots of the pros are on Instagram,. it is so fun to follow them, some still skate
So many dudes in their 30a and early 40s all started skating again within the past ten years. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still at it. If you really love it you'll always come back to it.
I do love the noise of metal on metal with the grinding. Feel like we're kinda getting it back with frames like the Sola. I wonder if someone could make a new metal soul that slides as good as the plastic souls we've become accustomed to. Or even a mixture of plastic and metal? 🤷♂️
I was so bummed not making it out to see this only living 2 hrs away . I made it the next year (2000) . The course was way better the next year. Salerno won this in my opinion. Crazy all these guys still skate (IDK about Nicky)
I know I’m late but did they have the rails mic’d up or something? I feel like you never hear rails like that in person. Maybe the frames were metal? Idk just doesn’t seem right haha
I remember when alley oop top acid tripple green rail and hyped up aaron fienburg to fastslide it like a g. Then i feel on my wrist doing a unity on it. But hyping up fienburg, priceless
Even here, a good while before the sports world completed the process of turning its back on rollerblading, you can witness the preferential treatment towards skateboarding and BMX by how DANGEROUSLY sticky they kept every grindable surface on this course. Even people like Matt Salerno who was known for his speed could barely grind 2 feet without sticking. Shameful.
This course is fucking awful.. Straight up its just poorly designed. Props to these guys for doing what they could with what they had to work with. RESPECT.
Romans 10:9-13 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
99 was definitely one of the best years for rollerblading... glad to see it’s kinda making a come back!

I started skating again after 22 years off them. Im loving it - barring getting banged up all the time!
The maddest thing is if it wasn't for rollerblading the x games wouldn't of taken off in the 90s and then they kicked us out
Sadly :(
Lmfao Stop
@@user-qx5nk6qg2b it's true. Look it up.
it was because it wasnt selling so like in any business money talks. Because x games is a business first.
so true, hope they let us back in lol

Blast from the past! Remember recording this as a teen when it aired on channel 5 in the am (UK)! Watched it in the morning buzzing! Thank you!
yup! i used to stay up and watch the x games, purely for the inline
Me too I taped it but still stayed up to watch it
innit bro me too
Bring back inline!!
These were such great days for skating, when we were really getting creative and learning to finesse our tricks
We need aggro inline back on the biggest stages. This stuff is so sick. No reason why they can't co-exist with skateboarders
the style has gone shit tho now
I've always done both and I agree! Why couldn't we all get along???
Bring this back!!
Man i was 14 at this time and looked up to all these guys, and they were only a couple years older than me. I still think blading is cool, sad that it died
It didnt die, just went underground, we still alive
Skateboarding is more cool 😁
@@redroofpigeon4595 good for you
You never see skateboarders in SLS or the X Games get back up so quick after a fall. Inline has so much smooth style.
Except skateboarding takes talent, so there's that.

I know. so far apart. spent half the energy just getting to the next trick
especially overseas, super tight courses
This was the same xGames Tony Hawk landed the first 900 ever
Just rewatched this 🔥🔥
Nicky Adams is the best skater in Canada , he has the most influential style by far. Truly a first class athlete.
Best times! This is the real aggressive inline 🙏🏻❤️
Rock on Nicky Adams
Seems like those rails could use a waxing too
This was metal grind plate days while different ball game
You dont wax metal rails for bladding bro, that's for curbs
@@209er2 and here we have someone that not even once hit a rail on skates :)
I taped over my own footage to catch this golden era of inline ♥️

Actually watched this and recorded this on VHS as a kid.... Nicky Adam's killed it.
How awesome was it waiting for the next X-Games countdown as 'kids'
RIP Matt Salerno
I skated with nicky adams in 1998 in montreal. They used to have a bad ass indoor park there back in the day.
that's so awesome!!!!
I remember when Nicky broke his hips at Camilien-Houde and medics took 3 hours to arrive. Good old days...
You just don’t see this anymore
I'm surprised it's not popular with the competitive skiers
Had to pop out the VCR to watch this.. 😎
Jesus... Nicky Adams is only 35 atm.... He could prob still rip!!
yeah, they were all so young. he is on instagram and skate sometimes. lots of the pros are on Instagram,. it is so fun to follow them, some still skate

If you really love it you'll always come back to it.
last i heard he was in jail for murder attempts. so he might not be allow to compete, maybe.

What happened to this sport ? omg
People realized it's stupid.

great skating for how terrible that course is. everyone struggling to maintain speed
Yeah it's much too big, they could've shrunk it down by half and use the same modules.
My babysitter got me into rollerblading, and skateboarding. I'm going for wrestling and skateboarding.
When XGAMES was Fun to watch

The future of inline is the freestyle city speed skating... Check bill stoppard ;)

ha. good notice...I wonder if it was the metal grind plates that most had back in the day...or maybe it was just a lot of mics placed in the area.
I think the skateboard gate keepers of the world struck a deal with ESPN to kick inline out... 🤔🤔

nicky Adams won because he did a negative grind in Solomons. haha kidding. respect!
