Many skateboarders of my era myself included despises roller bladders.
We'd be posted up at a spot and some fag with roller blades would turn up. "Ya know why roller blading is harder than skatig?" They'd ask. "Right cause you can't take em off." Say. So instant disrespect and instant diminishing our feats. They were still hurt about fruit booter being their name
However the ones that rolled small wheels no safety on their blades were respected. Many crossed over to the lord and boars. They knew what they were doing and a hill could be as dangerous for them as us.
Bikers were menaces. Ya wanted then on your side but they were crazy. Arms built like legs. Pegs that destroyed ledges we skated. But they took no shit from anyone. Rob, a good friend of mine, was absolutely terrifying. He was Korean and his dad had a shack out back with his war trophies. He wouldn't say no to a fight. He'd win it too.
