What happened to aggressive rollerblading? In-line skating? The X games presenting rollerbladers? It is a darn good question. It was such a big sport and was growing. 9,000,000 kids–mostly boys and some girls–considered themselves aggressive rollerbladers - just in the USA.
I got the chance to make a documentary with 2 top competitive aggressive skater teams–in New York City and in Los Angeles. These young people were very friendly to me and I could not have made the film without them. The feature film didn’t make it financially but it was and still is popular with many of the skaters. All of the skaters in my film are of course adults now and their skating days are long gone. Here is an article with some views on what happened. - David Hoffman.
The final film from B-Unique. Know Difference was only shown once during a New York City independent film festival in November 2006 then was never seen again. The film was never released publicly, but was uploaded on Vimeo in 2017 by the user Alex Beaupre. - IRollNY.
Know Difference takes a documentary approach to the rollerblading world while focusing on its team members Alex Nunez, Billy O’Neill, Calvin Sayles, Colin Kelso, Sean Kelso, Ramelle Knight, Franco Cammayo and Julian Bah.

Hello, I’m Simon Studer from Switzerland. This summer I spent a lot of time producing a short documentary about rollerblading, based in my home country, Switzerland. It’s in Swiss German but I created English subtitles of course.
It’s called Swiss Blading. I featured Tobias Leonhardt, Benjamin Wehrli and Jan Fehlmann (with whom I couldn’t film skating because of his crash in the FISE Montpellier, which is also featured in the interview) as interview guests.
You’ll see a ton of Swiss guys skating, such as Adrian Deck, Tobias Leonhardt, Benjamin Wehrli, Nicolas Meister, Clark Vincent Zeller, Reto Bürgin, Taras Stolyar, Julian Luginbühl, Dean Bradley, myself and many more. - Simon Studer.
Visit Simon’s Youtube channel, he puts up a ton of rollerblading content.
