This is about aggressive inline skating. Oh, ok, let it be agressive. I want to see you winning a Dash Battle using 56mm wheels. Or, imagine this: a bunch of guys with those tiny wheels playing B-Class Disk. IT'S GODDAMN SLOOOOOW!!! I never used agressive inlines, and probably never will. Nothing can make me using any smaller wheels than 78mm. And now, thanks to a new wind called powerblading, I can tear those narrow minded ledge grinders apart.

Z: I'm not accusing anyone at all of thinking in any particular fashion. i'm simply warning that this conversation is starting to stray towards the "let's all start discussin at's!" mentality, and I've seen it happen before. I'm not saying that it's going to happen that way, only stopping it before it starts. If you ahve an issue with it from there, take it up with an admin.
Shadow: Use whatever kind of skate you want, man. I didn't mean to offend you or whatever prompted that response, I only wanted to say that we're dealing with real, affordable existing materials here. Skates, not AT's. That was the point of that comment. And by the way, powerblading is still a form of aggressive skating, bro.

Just me making a brief mention about AT's gives you the impression that I think that that's what Parts War is all about? I understand that this site is not about AT's and it's about aggressive skating, but I just find it pretty ironic that this community came from an idea in an anime, yet we're not even allowed to mention about certain ideas from the anime. I understand the intention from the rule, I just don't agree with it Well, to me, the main idea in the anime/manga was the Parts War, not the AT's. I mean, without the Parts War, the anime/manga couldn't exist at all. On top of that, that's the only part that can really be recreated in real life. In the end, this rule, as I'm sure you and everyone already knows, is intended to keep the focus where it belongs, on the Parts War. :] The cool thing is that the best parts of the manga/anime are the ones that can be recreated in real life. No other competitive manga/anime can pull it off like Air Gear. Oh Great! did a fucking brilliant job in capturing the spirit of skating in Air Gear. I know you probably knew most of this. I just felt like it needed to be said by the guy who made the rule. :] But yeah, I'm going to go ahead and lock this for two main reasons. The first is being that why should we bitch about bitches being bitches? lulz To put it another way, us discussing those who quit cos of a loss is pretty bad. There are plenty of other things to do or talk about. People are going to quit, for whatever reason. They're welcome to come back once they cool down a bit. But, in the end, anyone who quits like that was clearly not meant to ride. Plain and simple. Secondly, we don't want to deal with AT discussions. We're here only for one thing, competitive skating a la Parts War. However, since I'm feeling a bit frisky, here's a link to what I personally consider the closest anyone will get to AT's so far. www.motorblades.com is a site for the motorized inline skates known as "Motorblades". This is NOT my company and neither myself or Parts War is associated with them. So, if you have any questions or comments about anything regarding this product, consult them, although I can't guarantee the company is even active or alive. Also, discussion regarding this product is prohibited. So PLEASE let the AT speak stop. **LOCKED**
