LOL... sorry, it's a sick sort of revenge for all the times I've been asked this. : : : : Reminds me of little kids asking me why I don't skate inlines. I also got my revenge by answering that my walking ability was impaired and the doctor therefore prescribed training wheels. And that I hoped that soon I will be able to walk again without training wheels and afterwards I might be able to take up inlines ... : : i just get asked when im getting REAL sk8s, grrrrr..... : or when i will get aggressive sk8s. now i can show my scars as i think mine qualify as more then aggressive lol. Hi, guys. I started to skate in side stance this summer and even though I have problems with my wrist, I've been able to make this video and now I can skate switching styles. But I want to be able to skate only side stance, because I like it better. It´s been great reading all your thoughts guys!, keeps me going, I´ll keep in touch, have a good one!. Next time we see each other, I`m really looking forward to achieve skating only side stance as I mentioned. By the way happy new year!. P.D.: kids also tell me I look like a crab! lol!.

	: AWESOME Video! I Love the Side-Stance to Parallel switching. I can't do that!! I also loved Irene & Bernard's comments. I can't remember how many times I've heard: "you'd be good if you were on Blades!" Thanks, Kid! : We really shouldn't have to hear that crap. Rollerskates were around before Skateboards....LONG before Rollerblades! No Respect!!! LOL!! I think this throws a bad light on those without respect for roller skates, not on the roller skaters. It just shows the ignorance of those uttering this crap. I believe we just have to learn more lenience towards those youngsters. Someday they will be in a similar position, hearting crap about their favorite occupation. At least the inline community showed a lot of respect when they let a roller skater judge the German Masterships Inline Halfpipe in Berlin. ;-)

You ever have a kid call your rollerskates, inlines? Ahh, must be signs of old age...

	Funny, I am the opposite of you, Ufra. I have always skated side stance, and now, I'm trying to learn to do more front stance, as well as fakie. Our styles are [u]very[/u] similar. After watching your video, I thought of showing you a particular coping stall that I do. It is the first stall (in the section titled 'Mable Davis') in my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhRAvFMx9Og&feature=channel_page It involves coming up to the coping in side stance and basically landing a Tabernacle stall. This is where your feet are aiming different directions. I thought it would be a good new stall for you to learn, if you do not already know it. Cheers!
