maybe in Canada, but roller blading (or more accurately, inline skating) is not mainstream. In fact, most of the skater cliques around Nashville were equally involved in inline as well as skateboarding. Nashville landscape however is not very conducive to either sport, unless you're smack dab in the middle of downtown.

As for your rant about how the hackers in the movie should've been on boards, inline skates are far more manueverable and much faster than a skateboard, hence, a wise choice for our protagonists.

I found it most amusing that in a thread where you're trying to extoll the virtues of not alienating the female branch of the scene with degrading imagery, you resort to slamming inline skating by linking it with 12 year old girls at a birthday party! Talk about mixed messages! =P
