Hardcore rec skating (rollerblading) | Ft. Jon Ortiz 

Jon Ortiz is one of the iconic rollerbladers who started pushing the envelope of what was possible on skates in the 90's. One of the first pro street skaters out of NYC, Jon knows all of the best spots to skate.
In this video, Jon and I skate from the Plaza Hotel, making our way downtown and check out an old-school skate spot that many NY skaters know and love. We had a blast, and I hope you enjoy this video of us just flowing through the city with skates on.
Special thanks to @BUTTERTV for the pristine clips of Jon that he graciously provided to be included in this video. Appreciate everything you do!
