Flutterby™! : Airborne

Charlene and I watched Airborne last night. I'd seen it in Chattanooga, and remembered single framing some of the stunts to improve my footwork. It only came out in '94, and now I'm amazed at just how much the skating has aged. Part of that is the influence of skateboarding on inline skating, and how much grinds have become a part of the scene, but a lot of it is just how much the inline skate folks had to learn from ice skating and the old style side-by-side truck roller skate crowds. And the plot... well... the Onion suggests that:

Airborne's poster boasts that it is "The World's Only Rock 'N' Rollerblade Movie," and despite the power and influence of the Rock 'N' Rollerblade movement, it's likely to hold onto that distinction for a while.
