Facing My Demon 

Only a In line skater knows how difficult it is to skate uphill. It really does suck the life out of you, but so much fun!

As a relative beginner to Inline Skating, it is a pure joy watching your videos as you glide seamlessly through the city! Certainly a fantastic motivator for me! Thanks for videos! Keep them coming!!

I am tired just watching you climbing 7 floors of Ethen Center ramps. My fears are going down, you make it sound sipping a cup of tea. Maybe my new year resolution will be to face my fears skating dawn hills. You did it again.

Bill, congratulations on conquering your demon. It's nice to set goals and accomplish them.

You brought me in to urban skating i love it so much

Wow that was awesome. What a workout! I'm sure the endorphins from that lasted for hours!

I don't know why, but 1:39 is perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen. The power in that little bounce you do, I've rewatched that part maybe 2 dozen times now. Thanks for inspiring this 35 year old to pick up skates again after a 25 year break.

Those raw sprints! love them

I'm here early for once. Happy holidays, everyone~

I have trouble driving that ramp.

"Tomorrow sucks. Only today is real. Work it!" I love this.

I had to comment that video, because this content delivers value witch matters for me - overcoming the obstacles. Keep it up, good job ;)

" that was fawkin horrible: 😅😅 I'm happy you shared this thanks

I saw the title before I saw the thumbnail and I thought - "he's going to stair bash the CN Tower, right?"

Looking great! I’d love to see you go back in sixth months or a year and see how much stronger you are on it

I always got impressed how flat the terrain is there! Here in Sao Paulo is impossible to skate more than onde block without a up or downhill

that was soo awesome man thanks for that i have to try and do more things like that!!!!

Incredible climb Bill! Inspiring, but I'll need to train for that for months, but Id like to try! And you shouldn't worry about security, looked like you were praying towards Mecca 😝👍

I burned major mms off my wheels too in a garage last week! I tend to drift to slow in garages, but there was more snow melt than I anticipated!

best upload yet

Words of wisdom from the Mighty Bill Stoppard! Congrats on slaying the beast, Bill and, might I just say, I thought your outfit for the occasion was spot on!👌

Stoppard: you’re a beast!

Greetings froma Lima Peru!!! Man you´re a beast! I had lost track on you fortunately found your channel. Awesome videos!!

Awesome.

oh yes perfect timing to watch just got in from a late night solo sesh e boarding

Awesome ascent, Bill. Followed by a masterly home journey. Truly falcon-like. Bravo!

I got seriously concerned around 4:47 I thought your heart might have exploded!

I enjoyed the suspenseful narration in the beginning. I really like your videos. You inspired me to make my first 360 video just cruising around.

Great work Bill - gotta find your demons and destroy them!

Oh man when you were going up I felt like it was me going up. I can't even come close to imagine how exhausting it was. Gz

Awesome videos sr I'm glad I found your channel, there's a lot to learn from you.

Happy holidays to you sir

Best video yet bro. Keep it up!

i felt that climb..

im so stoked that you conquered that man! time to level up!!

It would be really cool to see your tracks on a map real time. Great skating!

Wow that uphill looks brutal!

We saw it.

I wanna be a stoppard inline skater one day

Good job bro!

Please, don't mind me commenting on your super strong legs. I am a cyclist and love the muscles in the legs. you have beautifully sculptured legs. living in Sydney at the moment, it all bl..... hills. I cannot remember Toronto being so colorful with all the graffiti, I cycled everywhere. from, Bathurst to York, Markham, all downtown. Wish I was there. Oh! man, I am feeling so sad but enjoying seeing the city through your videos. Maybe this is my calling to head back to Toronto .

Niceeee

I fear you may have been talking about me there regarding the sick b******* 🤣 Congrats on the achievement Bill 👏

Well done Bill ... That's a huge effort . Inclines don't show well on video , but it's impressive nonetheless 👍😁🛼

Can someone approach Bill and make a video game?! I can already see me maxing out on my aerobic bar for uphill...

should i buy a few sets of just front wheels because i burn those dragging toe alot to slow and spin

I’m curious about your wheels and why two different kinds

do you have any reccomendations for knee brace/pad elbow brace/pad and gloves, to gain confidence in practice instead of hurting from a fall

Good content 👍 Bill. I can’t wait to see you on your red seba igor skates

Hi Bill.. Congratulations on making it to the top. Curious, how often do you have to clean the bearings after you roll in the snow?

i have a set of bauer hi-low wheel skates(no brakes) , what are good efficient ways of slowing down and also stopping??

Would you recommend me the K2 trio s 100mm for long chill trip?

How fast are you skating generally???

How much is ur skate? Or can u tell it’s name?!

This is all so me when i skate lol

First 👍🏼

Shop task, permanently closed.... Tell me Google is wrong. $#@!

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM

Man I've always wondered how fast you be going when you sprint. It looks like your just flying down the street. I been trying to get faster on my skates but I can't seem to get past the 20 mph threshold. I be feeling like I'm just crawling on my skates lol.

At the beginning I thought the demon was going to be the done hill

What skates are those??

.... It was a really good video to push me through for my only new years promise a 20 km indoor cycling. Thanks for that. And Happy New Year for everyone...

I thrashed my shoulder going at probably 1/10th the speed he rolls. Dammit.

Facing demons brings you faster to tranquility. 😇

I know the feeling of a not very long but challenging thing, the rush after where you are still flow-state but also twitchy from adrenaline! For me my thrill is fire spinning, my monster is a set of 100mm poi that burn for a good 10 min. The flames are huge, the heat is intense, and halfway the wall hits and you break through and when it's over you nearly fall over then jump right back up thrilled.

🤘

Yer a beast! Congrats!

Merry Christmas Bill 🎅🎄

Is it a road salt? How are your bearings after skating in such conditions?

Congratulations. I absolutely love steep uphills. Very easy to pass by everyone, even those with bicycles.
