In this video, I'm on two missions.
1. Go get some audio equipment so I can make marginally better videos for y'all. You deserve to hear me stutter clearly!
2. Test out speed skating race wheels that are designed to be super fast, really grippy, and give speedskaters the edge that they need, no pun intended. These wheels are the Rollerblade Hydrogen Pro's, 90 mm XX Firm.

@Aardappelpurree 8 месяцев назад

as a previous longboarder, these were considered more of a hazard than a protection. We can heal from scrapes but if our 'protection' makes it harder to land properly from a fall/ prevent a fall and as such we hit our head or fall ugly, then it goes besides the point. No hate on kiddies wearing these ❤ but it's usually why adult skaters wear no protection or just a helmet.

I think the important thing to note about this is how much it relies on the awareness of others, if you pay attention several people had to stop, or move to accommodate his movement, not everyone is gonna do this and some people will purposefully try to hurt you

@marcuslinton310 2 месяца назад

I disagree completely. He clearly anticipates his own moves in order to avoid needing the attention of anyone else to see him. By the time he's in your orbit, he's just as fast out of your orbit and none of your concern. I can see startling a few people, but aren't New Yorkers supposed to be tough? But for the part he's moving too fast for anyone to really notice him until it's too late and he's already well past them and so "hurting him" isn't really an option.

I took up rollerblading when I was around 50. When I first got them I tried them in the house. The carpets weren't short enough, so I went to a room with wood floors. "Whoa!!" I took off and thought I was going to go through the window. Problem was, I live out in the country, but there was a school nearby that had a small oval drive. But that wasn't long enough, so I went into town that has extensive bike paths. I'd end up "blading" 7 or 8 miles, one way, at a time. I just couldn't figure out when to turn around...truth. LOL Other things came up and I headed of to other things to do. I'm going to be 72 next August and miss rollerblading.

Me, gangbangers and sleeping cops were the only ones out at 3 a.m., on the lakefront, and I could blade for MILES. I was 35 \and just learned. COOL summer. I also bladed RIGHT DOWN LAKESHORE DRIVE!

@@1stgrate2bbuck84 honestly, depending on the blades you have and how you carry/dress yourself, they can be cooler than skateboarding. There's a dude at my college, total emo guy, who goes around in black bellbottom jeans, a black leather jacket, black hair and black eyeliner, with black blades that practically look like combat boots. He wears his blades as often as most people wear shoes, and you'll see him gliding around from class to class all the time. Really cool dude, and definitely stands out a lot more than the average skater bro with a thrasher t shit and a snapback. On average though, I will agree that bladers tend to look a tad bit more dorky than most skaters.

Like someone said i just stumbled into this channel and i have to say you are the man! I have never seen anybody skate that fast and those fast moves among the cars. I hope you have good health insurance.

This Mescalero has seen nothing but trees and bushes and dirt far as the eye can see. When I get a chance to watch your videos, I just really get impressed at the fact that you can skate and skate and skate and jump and hop and skate and go down the steps and run around up and down roads effortlessly. That sense of freedom of movement is awesome. Those wheels are nice. Logo out on races and logo in around home🤙💯😎 Cheers

Question my friend. What type and size of wheels are you using when you are rolling in the streets?. Thank you dor the motivation.

@gachatubrelady9796 2 месяца назад

can’t wait to skate. where i live winter is 6 months and it takes ages for the snow to melt. i miss my roller blades so much. and in my free time i just watch ur vids❤

As an inline hockey player - you skate really well! They would close down 5th Ave and I would skate from HK to the BK bridge! Makes me want to put outdoor wheels on my skates!

Man this makes me want to get into rollerblading so bad. I longboard a good amount, but the skates seem so much more versatile for getting around the city

Your skating is amazing, your stuttering almost non-existent. Jeff Emig (retired Supercross Racer) had a rather noticeable stutter when he was a Racer, once he worked at becoming an Announcer for Supercross, I never heard it again. Anyhoo, I speed raced quads as a kid, and all your moves make so much sense and flow so nicely! Just sub-subscribed : >

Dude, your choice of soundtrack and the beautiful scenary, the colors on your camera just pop, very very vibrant! Your video just appeared on my youtube feed and its one of the best videos i've seen. Freakin awesome!! You are a very skilled roller skater my friend. Keep up the great work and please be careful out there!

@jasonmarkwell8593 8 месяцев назад

As an aggressive rollerblader for few decades, I say label on wheels out. And personally get the fastest bearing/wheel setup you can. Never know who you might have to run from ( security or with NYC crime maybe Looney with knife). Never stop rolling. Or as elon recently said "never stop thrusting" 😆 Not one for helmet or pads but shin guards help if you slam your legs on a handrail or rude taxi bumper.

You have certainly inspired me and made me enthusiastic to do this too. Thank you for taking me on the cool inspiring ride through New York. After this I will definitely subscribe... I Want To See More!!!. Greetings from Amsterdam.

I really love the way you skate, you're such an inspiration. Try touring the world with skates we'd love to see you in Ghana-Africa soon. We've got Mad Rollers, Ghana skaters association and many others here and we recently did a campaign titled World on Wheels. It was all about skating and was fun. Would love to have you here and try new stuffs.
