I've been skating for 20 years and just got a pair of K2 Mod 110's to replace my old VO2 Max's. Am looking to get the most out of them and found your channel and subscribed. Really enjoyed the double push tutorial, pls keep sharing your knowledge! It helps us all to be better, more efficient skaters.
thanks much for your work Joey. i already spotted what i'm doing wrong in crossovers. i've only been skating for 3 months so far. these videos are mighty helpful. i wanna learn proper intermediate stride soon
Have been following you for a long time you were the reason I wanted to do speed skating just bought some new ones last night can’t wait to get out and sped things up at 40. never too old or young thank man for everything
Fantastic, inspirational, makes me wanna grab my skates and get the hell out of my home-office ;) Also, fantastic to analyse your technique second after second. Thanks and keep'em coming!
This is hands down my favorite skating video on RU-vid. Can't stop watching it. The setting and the music are amazing and the focus on the technique is right up my alley, since I'm into fitness skating. Could you do a tutorial on crossovers? Currently I'm trying to get them, but I'm still struggling (mostly because of fear of falling). I would love to see more content from you. It has been a while since your last video, but every single one was incredibly helpful. Cheers from Germany. Sebastian
Man, you are an amazing skater. I'm looking for some smooth places to skate here in SLC. Can you recommend me a few? Keep it strong. I loved your channel
Jordan River Parkway is great (mostly North of Gardner Village) if you get out early enough, otherwise it can be too busy to enjoy. There are a LOT of good parking garages/business parks with room to skate and decent surfaces (no tar snakes!). Look around where you live on google maps and you'll find places to check out.
@@jeremy_carver Cool, thanks for your answer. I went to Liberty Park two weeks ago but in the afternoon it is crowded. Thanks for the info. I appreciated
sugar house is that most difficult place if you're looking for a really hard workout in my opinion. can be dangerous when its crowded because people are generally pretty oblivious drivers. JRP as Jeremy mentioned is a decent trail for fitness skating, its hard to really go fast on it though. Theres a school (i dont know the name of it) in saratoga springs that has an asphault 400m, but its a pretty good drive to get there. Salt lake isnt the most skater friendly place, liberty is probably your best bet thought when it's less crowded
@@JoeyMantiaSkates I went to Sugar House Park for father's day but I didn't put my skates on because I'm not that skillful yet... I'll get there someday... Thanks for your answer and for your videos.
Poetry in motion! Unreal! Do you ever skate on rougher more street-like surfaces? If so what adaptations do you make to your stride and overall skating posture?
Amazing skating, long time fan but new to the channel. I don't know if you've made a video about it but what are your thoughts on 3x125 vs 4x110/100? I jumped from 5 wheels to 4x110 but always curious to try new stuff. I know you went to ice and track and indoor is no place for 125mm but if anything theres a video idea, your thoughts on wheels sizes and their pros cons. Keep it up
I was on 3x125 for a while and prefer 4x110, they're easier and more enjoyable to skate on, the only issue is they're slower than 125mm, specifically in marathons/road situations but also sometimes on certain tracks
@@JoeyMantiaSkates if you can try out the new power slide dh 350 frames . Those are closer to the ground with 2 x125 and 2x110 in the middle. I love and am very exited about this frame!
Joey Mantia I’d have thought being of little ankle support and a really long wheelbase , it’d be very hard . And i assume you mean , the grippier the wheel the more difficult . Thanks though for replying 👍👍👍
You might not be the right guy to ask this question, but you're one of the few people on youtube actively making inline skate videos. I understand maintaining your wheels and bearings are crucial to keeping your skates riding smoothly. I've only tried cleaning my bearings twice at this point, but both times I've ended up causing a "problem". When I get my skates back together, inevitably one or three wheels don't spin perfectly. All the other wheels are fine. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong exactly. I take those wheels off again, take the bearings out again and put them back in and cross my fingers that I got it right. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong in the first place to cause this problem. Do you have any tips or can you perhaps point me in the direction of another video that can help? The only thing that I can think of that might be causing this problem is that perhaps I'm inserting my bearings into the wheels ever so slightly cockeyed, and this is the culprit. I try like hell to keep them flat and straight when I press them in, but they're circular and naturally want to dip. Maybe there's a better way to press them in besides using my thumbs, I don't know. Any help here?

Fantastic. It looks like you align your body in the following sequence: support leg upon landing, toes, knee, shoulder to toes, knee, nose. Am I seeing that correctly?
I'm not sure I follow exactly. The rule of thumb is straight lines are fast. Also, it's very hard to skate well holding a camera 😅 so don't dissect these videos too much, I'll try to get some footage where I'm not holding one for the next few skate tips
hello, would u please recommend me any good inline skates? (i am semi-pro, fitness skates r not enough for me), i would like to progress max 500€ price... thanks
Hello ! Me and my Girlfriend bought inline skates(small wheels). We have tried them,but we struggle to start skating,i have fall on my back for a couple of times already and i have done few turns slowly around the corner on skates,but i still can't really understand how to control your legs to start skating properly... Can You show for newbies how to start skating and what to do first ??? I love to ride bicycle a lot,but i wanna learn skating,because it seems more fun than to ride bicycle ! Just some tutorial ? Wanna see some pro tips ! Thanks ! P.s. i'm an oldster already,i'm 37 now so it's kinda harder to learn though...
Joey I have an interesting question!😁😂 Chad Hedrick in his prime versus Joey Mantia in his prime first race is the 500m second race is 1000 m third race is 5000m!😂 and........Go!
Inline? I'd take him in any distance but a points race on the track, confident about that. He was a better Ice skater than I am so far, I would likely beat him in a 500, but the rest he'd get me I think.
Would anyone help me and give me a recommendation where could I buy a profesional skates in Europe? Like those they use for the competitions. And is there a difference between long and short races, when it comes to choosing the appropriate pair? Thanks a lot in advance!!!
Mek Kuper Where do you live? If in the Netherlands you might visit Haico Bouma in Oudehaske. He owns a shop specialized in speed skating (both ice and inline), cycling and MTB. He knows his stuff.
