This is some classic old school blading footage from 1999.
I went to see this N.I.S.S. (for all you new cats, it stands for National Inline Skating Series) competition back in the day with a few of my friends (10 years ago) to film some of the greatest bladers come to NYC and compete. I so happened to get Hakeem's whole run, which was flawless. You can see how popular blading was back in the day. You see Paul Mitchell and Panasonic advertisements on the ramps, and large crowds gathering and enjoying it. I have a decent amount of footage from that day, so I'll most likely make another old school edit.
