John:

• Does Arlo really still skate?
• Are rollerbladers really "pissed" about being ignored by "mainstream action sports"? I'm not.

It's worth considering how a specific intent is associated with each Action Sport tool. The uninitiated public assumes "skateboarders" are doing tricks; while the vast majority of inline skaters and cyclists are not doing stunts or tricks at all - they are involved in more mundane, less extreme activities. It is unclear whether inline scootering will primarily become an Action Sport or branch out into a wider range of applications. My guess, though, is that it won't.
