When did Canadian Roll become a business? You are correct also in stating that "no one asked him to run Canadian Roll." The only thing that has failed in terms of Canadian Roll is us, the people behind it for failing to update it on a regular basis. That has been apologized for. Again, like an opinion, an apology does not have to be accepted simply because it's given.
I don't see any "big picture" within your original argument, that being that Canadian Roll was a good site, Nick got angry at the community, and now he is posting for attention. The only thing in that whole argument that is true is that he is posting for attention. I don't mean the type of attention that you are suggesting though. Everything we do on Canadian Roll we do for attention. It's the attention that gives us a reason to update. On that note, we wouldn't have as many page hits as we do if we received no attention so we must be doing something right. To those people, we appreciate your support and continue to watch Canadian Roll for many more great things to come, even if you don't agree with them.

Brian is right....and some of it will even be positive!!! Like the "Task Around" Review, which should be up tomorrow. It is a good video people should buy it.

oh buddy, don't start nitpicking spelling and grammatical errors. please.
Bottom line, you aren't helping the Ontario rollerblading scene anymore. You tried to, I understand. You failed. Live with it. Don't take a hiatus and come back all bitter. People fail all the time, it's cool.

Hey everyone, Mike is back. For someone who doesn't care he sure seems to post a lot. Anyway, I have had my fun and I am tired of this internet fighting. If you don't like what I write you have a couple of options. First, write intelligent comments that are constructive and I will try and see things from your point of view (but to do this you would have to read the whole post first). I know there are many sides to the story, and you can ALWAYS write you own thoughts and I will put them on the site (granted that they are relevant and well written). Second, don't click on the link. Like I said from the beginning, I don't care if anyone reads my writing, but I am going to write 100% truthfully from now on, so if you can't take someones opinion who is different from your own you probably shouldn't go and check out CanadianRoll (or live in a democracy for that matter). If you want to write a relevant counter to my piece you can E-mail it to canadianroll@hotmail.com, I promise I will not edit it in any way. This is the last post I'll make in this thread. Honestly, if you want to continue hating do it, but you will be wasting your energy.

You're so f**king petty, the fact is this.
Canadian Roll actually used to be something useful towards the community and now all it is is you being "100%" honest, you have your following, mostly people connected closely with you and they'll back you up and that's fine. But what it boils down to now is you're being a douchebag. Sure I don't have to read it but if there's information about rollerblading that I'm unaware of it's nice to have other connections show me.
You're totally trolling hard, you're correcting spelling errors and the misuse of words it's quite pathetic. Mostly everyone I know in the scene thinks you're a pretty big joke, you're counteracting all your "good deeds" towards rollerblading by nutsting all over it.
Let's face the music though, you've got what you wanted, you've got your attention.

I hate that I have to be a hypocrite and go back on saying "this is my last post." But I have to defend myself against an outright lie, the only functions I have as an admin is "sticky" and "make announcement" I do not have the option to delete posts. If I did have that option I would not use it. Here is a picture of my admin functions if you don't believe me. Now I promise this is definitely my LAST POST.

i found the article interesting nick....... i agree with of a lot of the things you said.... especially the stuff about "Death Wish Wally".... so true.... I will say this though, the "hate away haters" comment just gets people going and makes them more likely to hate.... ive met you a few times and can tell you truly understand the sport. next time dont present your opinions with the expectation that everyone will hate on them, and if they do, dont respond by saying warped crap like "you gave me the power to shape your reality". ha ha ha....

You all need to get off Nick's thingy... Sure some of the things he said or implied may seem "rude or offensive".... but DONT even start by dissing him without understanding the full story, even I am not too sure of what the hecks going on about a lot of the current "issues" but I have to side with Nick on a lot of things.... plus give him a f**kin break this guy is majoring in two different fields at university... just chill.... even simple univeristy courses will ruin your ability to do a lot of things... plus I am sure Nick also cares a lot about real life more than internet based.... DATA.... computer codes 10000110010011100101001000011011..... errrr I'm sorry but living life is more than having a great reputation by posting online nuts....
Don't get me wrong, I can also say that maybe Nick has been a little to "angry" and possibly could've said things differently, BUT GIVE HIM A BREAK hahaha...
Nick it sucks that I haven't skated with you, and even the dirty H crew enough this season, but I will be making trips down to Hamilton this summer every few weeks man lookin forward for some bomb sessions!
