Cutting Through the Stigma

Rollerblading is oftentimes stigmatized in the action sports community, and because of its lack of media exposure, the general public doesn’t understand what it is to the extent of what they know skateboarding, bmx, and other action sports to be. In this video four local rollerbladers attempt to illustrate what aggressive rollerblading is; a sport, an avenue of self-expression, and a lifestyle. This was a project I did for my multimedia journalism class.

It was featured on Tucson Weekly and also on Rollernews.
