Anybody who says our sport is dying is a) an idiot and b) apparently not colombian or has never been to colombia. I just went to watch the 8,9, and 10 year old nationals here in bucaramanga (yes just a 3 year window) which had over 400 participants.... maybe you didn't catch that the first time so here:
400 kids limited to the ages of 8,9, and 10
I got there and started signing a few autographs and that turned into zoo...
These kids were awesome, they were literally climbing over eachother trying to get an autograph and picture. After that, the organization wanted me to skate a few laps and say some words in front of the people, which was a great idea in theory... until the mob of kids got involved hahah
After that i had to crank off the track and back to the booth to finish up signing autographs. My shirt started off a medium and now its at least an XL from all the pulling and grabbing haha; i thought to myself, i couldn't imagine ACTUALLY being a legit famous person, it would be hard.
I wish there was as much passion in the states as there is in south america for this sport...
Here's a little clip, its hard to see, but u can sure hear em

Theres a road around the outside of the track, i literally got pushed around the track while kids were running around me screaming, just losing their minds; it was one of the coolest things ive ever experienced. After the lap, i slowed down and after about 10 minutes managed to get all the kids off the track so they could play the national anthem and have me say a few words. After that i took a lap on the track shaking hands and giving high fives.
