Skating behind car at 68km/h // Felix Rijhnen with 125mm wheels on Cyprus roads 

We skaters can always brake. You are wrong only about this because skates can be used to slow down. If you state that his speed is illegal or braking is inefficient, I would say that you are right.

its always you can break by making it as steps or finally you can do slide if necessary and you have special wheels can slide with higher speeds

the only literal brake in inline skate is the heel brake. brake itself considered as technique such as T stop/brake, sliding, powerstop, powerslide, magic slide, parallel slide, etc. the most easiest and noob friendly way brake is butt brake. when you fall behind and using your butt to brake.

Thanks a lot! So nice to hear!

Thanks 😊

@@FelixRijhnen1 Ich fahr selber auch plus Nordic Blading extrem (Speed, Berge, etc.) also weiß ich genau was du da leistest Felix. Weiter so!!! LG Chris

Unfortunately yes - it’s not pretty!

@@FelixRijhnen1 sorry to hear but unfortunately that happens, I’ve had a few myself but not at those speeds. I just found your channel am totally hooked on watching lol. Just got back from a session in central London now...

Oh my goch

...in the US.

Agree, I've tried different sports but inline speed skating is different, it's like a drug, very addictive to skate fast

Basically you just need to find a flat open road. This video was taken in front of the Aldiana Hotel.

Thanks

David D. I guess just suck it up for a few minutes...

You need to keep working on your technique. Weight lifting is beneficial. Your elevation, wind speed, barometric pressure, road conditions etc all play a part. Remember, these guys do extreme training and have probably been competing since children. So it may not be fair to compare yourself to them.

Check out Pascal Briand's vlog, good advice on speed technique and a great chat with Felix and Bart.

Powerslide

GPS watch

Brakes are typically more dangerous then helpful as they throw you off balance, provide minimal stopping power, and removed wheels from the ground providing less contact points to the ground and more potential for a fall. At this speed, honestly, don't fall is the correct answer here. I would expect him to ditch it off the road and stay standing as long as he could through the dirt and allow the ground to break his fall instead of the road.

There are 3 famous techniques. T stop, magic slide and parallel slide. Which one to use depends on the circumstances.

@@YurkerYT With an suporting boot you can come to an stop 0 KM/h with Tstop first and magicstoping in arout 8 to 10 meters i think

I think it is about being very good at double-push + have very powerful main strokes while being able to still keep up higher skating frequency + skating on large wheel setups like 4 x 110mm or 3 x 125mm + having really good/fast bearings in them :) But I also asked Felix about this in one of his comment sections about this because I am intrigued to know and my personal best is only around 55 km/h thus far (straight surface, almost now wind, without any bike/car in front).

Road surface, best wheels, ceramic bearings and the most important the perfect push technique

With 86mm you would definitely struggle 😅

Yeah better don’t crash haha

Shut up dude

Edgar Marrakech no idea - sorry!

First of all he is skating behind a car, which has a speedometer. But actually I am quite sure that the watch he is wearing is a GPS watch, which records the speed distance and time you see at the bottom of the screen.

buuuuu that is an article of faith hahah I could do the same and post something on the bottom of the screen!

@Alfonso: you are right, it's pretty clear, he has only about 20km/h .. the video was ware fast-forward.. that's why he seems to have an incredible speed.

This guy simply skates a marathon (42k) in less than an hour. 42.5/43km/h on average for an hour, I think he can do 68 for a while, with the draft of the car ;)
