Barely Dead: The Saga of Modern Rollerblading chronicles the sport of in-line skating, through intense ups and downs in both prestige and popularity. Once considered the fastest growing sport in America, Rollerblading made its X-Games debut in 1995, but just a few years later found itself on the wrong side of a public backlash. Through it all, however, those who love the sport have continued to support it, though the road has not always been easy.
