But let me correct the record: We're called "inline skaters", not "rollerbladers". Rollerblade is a brand of inline skates--the first, actually. They make some good recreational skates, and all right speed skates, but they are not the only brand of inline skates, and they're not necessarily the best. Sort of like how bicycling isn't referred to as "Schwinning" or "Trekking". Some of us inline skaters are faster than most of you cyclists. Some of us even use our inline skates to get around town, to commute to work, and even to get our groceries. They're fast, they're fun, they can travel with you on the subway (or BART) at rush hour (unlike bikes), and they're zero-emissions. So, sorry to be semantical about this, but let's call them inline skates, not rollerblades. Thanks! This looks like fun!

I'd like to attribute the video properly, but I'm confused as to the license it's under. The icon at the end of the video indicates "BY" but the text reads "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 US", aka "BY-NC-ND". If it's the latter, why such a restrictive license for such an open project? Hey great video and even greater event!
