Will Rollerblading Ever Become Socially Acceptable?

All I wanna do is Rollerblade the city of Boston without looking anything like these clueless bastards. Is that too much to ask? There's a few things these people could do to make themselves look a bit more acceptable. First off I wouldn't be caught dead in those elbow/knee pads. Secondly, my man in the short shorts getting smoked by his girl should reassess a number of problems...Way to match your shirt with her spandex dude.

But anyway, sooner or later I'll eventually build the courage to start cruisin' around...maybe even blade to work once in a while. If anyone feels as though I should be stopped before taking serious action, please don't hesitate to speak up. But what the hell man, how awesome would rollerblading be if it didn't look so god damn ridiculous?

I think everyone should pay attention to Keenan in D2 when he taught the USA Ducks how to handle their business in the school yard. The way he delivered the "me and my boys can take you anytime anywhere" line while skating over was pretty impressive. Arguably one of the coolest scenes ever...done on rollerblades. With this I can only hope to avoid catching doubtful looks when it's time.
