You're about to see a clip from a film I made back in 1997 on aggressive Rollerblading.

I'm David Hoffman, filmmaker, Aggressive rollerblading.

I think there were 22 million Pez of skates sold in 1997.

Mostly young guys, some girls, but mostly young guys and not the big football player guys but smaller guys who could do this crazy sport.

Was one of the center's New York, the other center in L.

Arlo Eisenberg was one of the real stars, one of the founders, one of the leaders of this new sport.

He was an out spoken, aggressive, physically small, powerful guy, and he and a guy named Brooke Howard Smith, a big, tall New Zealander.

Also an aggressive Rollerblade er founded Senate.

This clothing company, which had these ultra wide pants not my favorite, but they were really outrageous.

I got to make this documentary in 1997 because a wealthy investor in Silicon Valley, I had a son who was an aggressive role of later and also wanted to be a movie maker so The guy says to me, Could you make a movie on these guys?

I met some of the rollerbladers and they were really I thought, good guys.

OK, they were totally focused on this sport.

I mean, skiers will focus on skiing and skateboarders.

So I thought I could make a movie on these guys.

They were interesting and colorful and send it at that moment was doing outrageous stuff.

There's a label you're going to hear the story of that that Arlo Eisenberg created, which exploded in the world.

The attitude was, you know, we're tough and that was part of the style.

When it's over, I'll tell you more about what happened to Senate.

What happened to the sport on what happened to me as a result of this movie?

The fact is, if people want to do anything in this industry, hell, yes, they have to listen to us.

You have to answer to us is a better way.

The reason why Senate does well in the marketplace because you either like it or you hate it.

Someone is causing all kinds of controversy.

Tonight they slipped in a slogan on their clothes that reads, Destroy all girls.

So here's what all the excitement about Senate clothing designer Armel Eisenberg shows us where to find the slogan.

I just wanted to go and pull everything off the wall immediately.

It takes a little bit of chemical imbalance to jump on rails and do some of the things that we do.

But I don't think that any roller bladers can go out and destroy a girl or kill anyone is a result of one.

Well, my friends, But I was really silly leaving for school and coming here.

And the bottom line is, if you're bringing in the babes, then you're doing something right and they're here.

Let's see that piercing Sure look like you just like give me this is a dirty job.

I swear, when I was in high school, it was like banging a prince ever.

What do you think about What do you think about body piercing?

Senate was never started out to make money.

When we started, it was just We wanted to make certain stuff for inline skating and everyone else that you guys are crazy.

Scrap all our little money together, and we're going to make it now when you dump it over, that's the only way you can only get the wheels that the first thing that hits your hand is the tester.

Fragrance has to have that same look to me, right?

It also has to state clearly that it's cologne.

Not so they think It's like bearing Luke.

This is a campaign that Allah has designed for the last year.

What we want to happen is that when a kid sees him as competition, a they know he's on Senate, be.

They recognize him and see they want to be a part of him to be a part of Matt Matt's.

In the beginning, Senate was created, I think, or I know in my image, I wanted it to be an extension of me, Um, get some things off my chest.

But now I think Senate is more a reflection of Randy.

When we found out and he was skating at the local high school, next to be Kay's house, we looked at him like this kid's incredible, but we didn't know his personality yet, but he was just a nice kid.

We started hanging out with him and everything, and he developed to be an incredible, incredible skater today.

Have you ever looked like this makes a lot more money than most adults, but it's because he's highly marketable.

This is the kind of image that a lot of big companies one a half when there's a smaller wallet out of those look looking good.

short because we're short looking a swimming trunks in too long.

It looks like pants the crotch if you're doing tricks.

They drop a lot anyway, but are they fine artist?

So they fit enough of your boxes were showing.

It's gotta have underwear showing we wanted.

Obviously, the reason we have the name Senate is because we want to name it sounded powerful, but also that was corrupt.

And who we thought that this, you know, embodied that expressed it perfectly.

My feeling and my philosophy is that art is its own justification.
