We will get a Woodward Europe. The scenes in the UK, France and Spain are quite healthy. FISE, Chaz Sands invitational, Winterclash and some more….
We have the Be-Mag, abec (spain). Haffeys Record Jump was held in Marseile.

Just wanted to point out that it is not as US centric as it seems.

Oh and i think Japan and South Korea do have a lot to offer as well, Asian X Games.(Soichiro Kanashima) and i bet more they just are far away ;)

I’m bout to turn 21 and I’ve been blading for 3 1/2 years now. I think rollerblading just needs more companies, more foundations like blade only skate shops.

A lot of points were brought up that people should listen to. The simplest and most important being that more people need to get skates on their feet. Rollerblading needs to move beyond all of the pissing contests. Big competitions, tours, and videos serve a great purpose, but the only people seeing them are other rollerbladers. Look at how rollerblading originally blew up. Rollerblade hosted demos where people could see Team Rollerblade skate and try on the skates themselves and see how much fun it was. That is going to make skating grow a lot faster than hoping people somehow stumble upon videos of Haffey on Youtube and start skating.
