Hi, sorry for my sloppy reply. I'm pretty new to this and am probably doing it wrong.

As for the edits I made to the Inline Skating / Aggressive skating articles.... there is very little formal documentation of our sport, and most literature on the subject is in the form of trade magazines. I consider myself a first hand source on these subjects, which I know isn't great for wikipedia, but there is an effort within the inline community to try and create a better historical record of what we do, as the sport is on the decline.

I know this is dubious for wikipedia, but we are making a good faith effort to document our sport, and feel it would be a shame to be forgotten simply because there is not academic research on the subject.
