Why did rollerblading die out?

[Mr-Fusion]

Wheels on your feet. That should speed up certain forms of travel. Getting to and from certain places. Nobody does it anymore? Where did rollerblades go wrong?

 

[Avoidist]

In terms of the poll, all of the above.

I saw someone Rollerblading at my Uni the other day, i was like "lol, that's so 90's", but what do I know? Maybe it's making a comeback?

 

[Dynasty]

In my defence it WAS the 90s.

I used to rollerblade loads in Malaysia. I even played Roller Hockey for about 3 years for my school.

I got pretty damn good, its not as easy as people think. Roads have the usual dents and bumps in them, and going backwards at speed was a- hard to turn around to do, and b- you fell over backwards and usually broke something if you hit a single stone.

Nowadays its seen as retro and usually gay.

I ****ing loved that movie as a kid.

 

[Eejit]

I think it was because of climate change.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

All the wheels got jammed up with yo yo strings. It brought two fads crashing to the ground at once.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Everyone upgraded....to segways.

 

[Lucid]

Global warming.

 

[Gemma]

because its too frigging hard to do.

 

[PJ]

wtf @ 1:00 in that vid. now THATS gay. i was never really any good, but i do go to rollerworld every year, with the dutch exchange my mum does at the school she teaches at.

 

[MJ12]

[swan_song1973]

[Omnomnick]

Segways all the way!!

 

[lefty]

What about Brink! Do you guys remember Brink?

 

[Sheepo]

^YES^

Seriously, hell yes.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Yea that was as awesome as it got. Then I saw that actor on some show and he couldn't eat the god damn mildest pepper in the world and he lost.




a lot of respect.

I used to have rollerblades but I always took my bike out instead.

 

[Gemma]

Brink? Segway?

 

[the cow says moo]

Segways are awesome.

 

[jet_porkins]

Mankind was simply not ready for the technology.

I saw three kids of about 17/18 years of age on rollerskates yesterday. Not inline blades or rollerblades, but skates. I goddamn laughed for a solid five minutes because they were typical Wolverhampton hoppers, and then I suddenly grew uneasy at the thought of reckless yobs on wheels.

 

[nipples]

The irony that you would post a hackers clip. I've been play as Zero Cool in L4D, while my friends play as other hacker names.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

What about Brink! Do you guys remember Brink?

SOUL SKATERS FOR LIFE.

**** yeah!

There's another where the kid takes a hit hard on his head and starts twitching.

 

[Warped]

Rollerblading = Fail! Unless you live in Cali, and your a hot chick with a bikini

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Or live by hills that continuously reset you to the top.

 

[Dekstar]

Rollerblading should totally make a comeback. I wish I had rollerblades so I could skate to uni every day .

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I haven't ridden my scooter in forever. I sort of would feel like I'm being laughed at if I did. Seems like such a kid thing.

 

[Sheepo]

You would and it is.

Scooters are for homos.

[Xendance]
