We definately do not carry fitted hats.




Sorry I just had to do it! We only carry rollerblade companies, and companies who support rollerblading at Tri-State Skate. The comment I read in the Art of Rolling Webzine about "companies(boot companies) need to give at least something back(to the rollerblading community)...they need to step up to the plate and make a commercial."-Rob, owner of flatlines.
This comment is right up there with David Sizemore's in a issue of Be-Mag from a few months ago(Be-mag is a rollerblade magazine if you do not know!), where he said for rollerblading to grow, we need to get the big skateboard companies to get involved with rollerblade companies, so when a skateboarder decides to quit( bc its just not as cool as blading! ) and start rollerblading, both the rollerblade, and skateboard companies can make a profit. That comment definately took the cake, but the whole commercial comment, and saying that these big boot companies aren't giving anything back to the rollerblade community comes in at a very close 2nd to the Sizemore comment.
PS- I KNOW WHAT ROLLERBLADING NEEDS FOR US TO GROW, AND REACH A BIGGER AUDIENCE! Everyone pay attention this is important: For rollerblading to grow, get respect from outsiders, and everything else we might need, we need to get rid of the people making comments like this in our industry. If we can't get rid of them, at least don't publish these rediculous comments, because these people surely aren't helping anything. How can someone who has never once been a rollerblader know what is good for us? And if for some crazy reason they do know, why else would they care to see rollerblading grow, but to see profits from its growth...seriously?
