I Can Fly Down Stairs! 

Something so genuine about including your falls we all fall eventually 😂

Ontario Place - looks like a great space and location. Hope the road rash heals quickly.

Damn! Bill! Isn't that just how it goes sometimes? Skating can be so humbling in that way when you clearly have the skill and the confidence to do something and a little mistake pops up and bites you. I started to get gun-shy of rolling stairs with 3 wheel set-ups after I got tripped up a few times. Lino says it's because of the bigger gap between the wheels so that is now stuck in my head. I know the bigger wheels in a 3 wheel set-up can help roll over obstacles and obviously you were killing it on the first 4 attempts. I guess speed is the key when the stairs are not too steep but I'm going to stick to 4 wheels for stair rolls. I don't know that I'd ever attempt those 5 sets even if I was in full hockey gear with a face cage! But I look forward to seeing you conquer those!

What I enjoy about your videos Bill is that even with your decades of skating you aren't afraid to tell the world there are techniques that you need work on.

I love how your videos are half roller blading and half Ontario tour guide. They're super entertaining this way!

Awesome video Bill! I’m not ready to go anywhere near stairs so I’ll have to settle with living vicariously through you instead lol. 6:03 I think that guy honked because he was afraid you were about to cross the street; he brakes right when you hop onto the road (unless he said something or gestured :)you, I can’t tell). Not criticizing you because you have no way of knowing that going on behind you obviously.

Just got road burn the other day... It was because I didn’t stay low

I wear a helmet and wrist guards every single session now, even if I'm just skating up and down the seafront. I'm at the age to not care how I look, and being padded up gives me the confidence to try new things without turning myself in to a potato. I can deal with knee and elbow scrapes but I got weak wrists and my kids need my brain to work for a few more years before they can look after me lol. *Not suggesting that Bill should pad up all the time, for myself there is no downside to doing so.

Bill you are such a machine. I love how you set a high goal, achieve it and then even go beyond and show us the aftermath. This vis id a clear victory

Never understood how you skate without gloves on as an absolute minimum, I learnt that a long time ago after ripping the shit out of both hands and not being able to use them properly for a few weeks.

As soon as i heard him say “Oh how the turn tables have turned...” I instantly subscribed

Ouch!!! 😬 I am very impressed with your courage and fearlessness. You look free and happy and that's what all skaters should strive for! Cheers Bill 🙌

No pain.. no gain 💪

FORWARD STAIRS , NICE !!

Very glad you're basically ok. Three wheels seem to be a lot trickier on stairs than four because of that pivoting middle wheel. Stairs scare the hell out of me and I can't imagine ever having the mentality to bash a flight tbh, so big respect to all of you who do it, you're a breed apart.

That’s a gorgeous open space! I’m glad you’re conscious, and not badly injured. Old Latin comes to mind: “Hubris, Ate”. Love the skates-those Adapts are 💣

I love that it's so free there. We don't have that many spaces like this here (smaller country so no surprises there) and due to the congestion we'd be thrown out for trying stuff like that in the spaces we have.

Doing a R.E.D. October with my daughter this year, inspired by your previous videos. Finally cooled off enough to really enjoy skating outdoors. Thanks for all the content!

Great job man! Your city its practically empty, thats great!

very scared when you fell the first time 😢 but overall great job! this is day 2 for me on inlines and its going oki

Watching your videos has got me back into skating. Thank you

4:33 love the 2020 style transition! lol

we love watching and hearing those stops as much as you love doing them. thanks for all of your therapeutic content bill!

Damn I felt that when you hit the ground! It's always such a shock, but it reminds us we're fallible. Personally I find the worst part is the embarrassment of falling, I know I shouldn't care cuz I literally do it everytime I skate but I can't help it. First thing is ooh did anyone see that? Nope okay I'll just slope out of here.

We all have our moments lol.

Had I been a kid, I would of probably laughed. But being around your ageish (43) I almost felt your pain. I've been thinking about taking this up. 😁👍

Be careful mate. Always wear a helmet when your doing this stuff mate we love you and be careful. Richie 🇬🇧

Great effort and balls of steel! I have been doing a lot of crazy stuff throughout my Life.....racing dort bikes, racing alpine downhill single trails on my mtb and fast city skating with my converted Bauer Supreme TotalOne's. I had been and always will be wearing protective gear.....simply because you have to allow for other people mistakes. It has happens to me pretty often.. Upcoming traffic on a one way high speed downhill single trail, dirtbike pilots who drove faster than their skill level alowed them.... Last year around june I trained for a uphill mtb race in the Austria. After 120 km on the bike and 3 km from home I was stopped by a old woman who rode her bike on the wrong side of the narrow track, and to make it worst in a curve. All I could do to avoid a headon collision was to use my breaks. I run 4 piston downhill calipers on my mtb. I turned into Superman and went over the bar. I stopped the flight with my face on the ground. Unfortunatley the bones of my lower Arms were to weak to prevent my face from hitting the ground. I was taken to the Hospital with a broken face a multiple fractures on my Arms. As I mentioned before.... sometines it does not matter how good you are when some idiots can ruin your day. Wear at least a helmet when you out there, it might save you Life.

Man, you were killing it! Hope you’re good, that looked painful!

Big fall, but a lot more gained. Real nice video Mr Stoppard. You now have the oportunity to show us level 5 in another one.

I love me some Bill Stoppard!! Glad you’re okay after your spill, keep the great videos coming. I’m impatiently waiting for my very own GTOs!

Man just a bad day in that stairs you push to the limit great job Bill you are une of my inspiration to skate

humility comes at a cost at times. would love to hear the stories on your knuckles, i bet those were some sketchy tales!!

Really nice ride 😎🤙🏿 respect from Chile, great videos, big learning from you. Thnx a lot!!!

Way to step up (or down) Bill! You conquered your fears with just a few battle scrapes. How about a future video on techniques to fall w/o injury🥋?

Glad your ok.

Hey Bill, much love from India. Great videos, love the voice overs in your videos.

Can't wait to skate this someday when it's safe to travel. Thanks for sharing your session and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Be careful man. We need your videos

im so sorry you felt down but its nice to see you are human and you can also fall , im starting at the roller blade art jeje i enjoy your videos and learn so much thank you ¡¡

you're crazy bro... love that fact that you are still trying to push yourself. Hope I can skate as good as you one day. Much love from Brampton

Bill glad you’re ok! Honestly, that was badass!

Wow! That Insta 360 camera can really take a beating and keep on going. Great inside shot of the Ontario Place by the way. You rock!!

I hope, the road is ok 😁

Oooh..... that hurt!!! Hope you recover soon. 💪 In the other hand... good stair ride and nice video 😉

Con mucho cuidado, campeón 👍🏻

Omg I felt that in my soul! 😬😬

Flight of the the Bumble BSS

Bill!! I screamed out loud!! I was so sure you had it!! 😳🙏

Next vid, Ennui's new lightweight Elite helmet? Glad you're good, tri skates can have that bite on stairs depending on lean.

Damn man, I know that feeling. Good effort on the set and you will get that next time!

Ah till today I still stop by hitting walls Totally used to it by now

Really nasty fall. Hope you are better than the camera.This weekend I'm posting a take on how to conquer fear, case study also being on going down stairs :D. Keep up your great work! Flowing with 360 cameras seems so risky :|

Interesting Hand Signalling

Conclusion: Let us all advocate for wearing protective gears. Skating is great, doing it safely is greater!

Oh, my poor knees! I did stairs a couple of times, but my nearly 100kg weight took a toll on my 50 years old back and knees...

cool Pro stairs😇🇵🇭😎

2:40 Yeah that stair ride!

Wow this looks like such a sick spot. Damn I'm jealous

Awesome. You've inspired me to begin skating again (in mid 30s but haven't skated since i was 12 probably). I wish I had some urban environments like beautiful Toronto. I skate around in my suburb, but hopefully I'll have the courage to skate in the city soon. I feel like I'd run into a car or something...

A Fourskate probably wouldn't have let you down on the stairs. You just wanted too much from a Trisakate.

That location looks pretty fun

now you should try it backwards... .. and it is easier in fact.

good skating Bill!

Bill, what's the headphones?

Makes sense about the speed. No option but to lean forward. There's some decent arm sleeves out there for (american) football that they put rubber tread on. They're much thinner than pads (leave them in the bottom of your skate bag) and can get you out of having to disinfect. I bought mine on sale from a sporting chain in America called DICKS after the school sports season ended for roughly ten USD. They were UnderArmor brand, which I'm not dadcore enough to represent without cringing, but they are useful.

Bill, It looked worse at first. A bit surprised you bounced back up like that. Your a tuff cookie. Those are the type of bumps and bruises that really hurt a day or two later. I hope all is well. The Beast got tamed a little this day. He will be Back!

I Dont Know bezzing is a term used in Canada. But you are a proper Bezzer on skates. Love it. Nowt like a causal but of roller road rage aswell haha.

Hi Bill, was wondering if you could make a video about.. crashing into people? I love going as fast as I can but it can be hard to doge people and stop quickly without having too much impact. Not like I've ever.. nearly crashed into people. (I apologised, okay?) Anyway, please take this into notice!

Unusual definition of "fly"

Should’ve rolled the ledge all the way down. Also, three wheels seem sketchy for stair bashing. Go back with 4.

Oh sun, you betrayed him by the shadow. Btw I like how he does skate and as of right now, i can't wait to get back to skating .I'm your fan and am kinda interested to know how you do skate so well and what camera you do use because it's great

BEAST!

great video we are subject to falls, due to your practice you must have already had many falls because i had a simple one that dislocated my shoulder i am recovering and you have already been hurt like that?

i want to skate with you!

Bill Bill bill.... going against tour own words of always wearing equipment when performing new tricks/stunts.. naughty!!!!!!!!!!

For the power stops do you need to have right wheels for that or you can do it with any wheels

What's the name of the song at the end?

How brutal was the shower on that road rash? Haha

Ouch..I never street skate without my Hillbillies gloves..you can take a dive like a pro without raspberries..derby girls practice falls a lot it’s half if our skating..if you do it right

That first shot of the fall made me cringe.

Can you please tell me what wheel stiffness you prefer to use?

Wow, dude that was close. Next time throw the helmet on my man, that place looks like a fun place to skate. ATB Marti 🤙

is it just me or does the body automatically switch to drag and power slide instead of parallel slide, i can't do a parallel slide when i'm tired. LOVE your videos btw, i've watched almost all of them.

What kind of stick camera do you use?

Does someone know and can tell me what kind of skates he's wearing. I'm pretty new to this community but I was wondering because his wheels seem huge

Ouch

👏👏👏👏❤

Im a beginner and thinking do the stairs but now i dont have a nerve to do that🤦🏻‍♂️😔🤔

I keep 2 helmets in my car and all crash gear, just in case I see something do to that's a bit stupid.

What's the wheel diameter here?

Use protective gear~ that is so hurts.

You kind of remind me of James Woods.

✨❤✨✊🤸‍♂️

Hey Bill, a quick question. Are your skates usually rockered or flat?

Know how that feels, glad you are ok!....I am going to "like" this video to help your channel, not because of the wipeout!

Broke my left radial fore arm bone over the summer and still dealing with the side effects because I falling on my blades you bet your ass I’ll be buying pads and a helmet next year we get to caught up in feeling free while I’m a session that we forget one slip or mistake and hurt you very badly you’re lucky you didn’t need staples I. your head or something bro or even fractured your elbow or forearm

You know what they say, you gotta make those stairs your bitch

I don’t think I can even do 1

I was going to say holy crap you are so brave for running around with your insta 360 naked but at the last stair bash we could see the lens guard go flying off..... how the heck did you get the lens guards so clean? I totally thought they were not there except for the aggressive stitching. please tell me your secrets guru
