Since the beginning of aggressive inline skating, there has been quite a lot of tension between skateboarders and us. Skateboarders have not been to kind to us, giving us nicknames like "fruit-booters" or "gaybladers" and making jokes like "What is the hardest part of rollerblading? ... telling your parents you are gay."
