"No two skaters I've skated with Roll the same. A stride is an expression And a line is a conversation" BRILLIANT

Can't help but feel that sometimes your commentary sounds alot more like poetry :) keep up the good work dude :)

"Crack kills" I died XD

"The hum of the wheel,and the buzz of the road.The sharp floating focus and peripheral blurring of the city when you have no metal contraption below you,is a form of bodily freedom wich surpasses....." Poetry both in language and motion.I love your"work"very much.Looking forward to many more...GREAT! (From Belguim...And again bought some inlines after a 15 year break...Please pray for me... :-D )

"to them in line skaters are no different than unicyclists or pogo...stickists..." lmao. subscribed my good sir..

This is like meditation watching the skates roll.

You're a poet

This video was the best yet. I live in London and only started skating 6 weeks ago and it's all about the street skate for me. Your videos inspire me to try more on the street and not limit myself. I look forward to your new videos. Ou have an amazing view on street skating!! Luv it!! Walking seems so slow now!

I've watched this video so many times, you're an absolute inspiration.

I enjoyed listening to your narrative as much as if not more than watching the video. It's almost listening to a talking book. Great writing!

Part 3, Your thoughtfulness is very evident just as with your skating no detail is missed and your ability to empathize with us is a real touchstone that you always take the time to do a 1st class effort each and every posting. It has been a privileged & am very thankful to view over -and-over on many of them to try and gain your perspective(s) to even attempt your level of mastery. Thanx a million for opening up a whole new world! Russ

So much knowledge and wisdom in one video man! Cheers

Man there's absolutely nothing else on youtube like this. Rollerblade philosophy... Love the videos keep it up. Thanks

Haven't skated in probably 13 years (21 y.o now), until about two weeks ago I randomly stumbled on your videos. Since then I bought some nice skates and been on them almost daily. More fun than biking and running, more difficult than biking but less than running and the option to learn some neat foot work skills with slalom stuff. All in all, thanks for reintroducing me into this, it'll be a fun summer.

thanks pinto I watched all your videos and now I feel like a proper street skater

I just love how chill this video is. I used to be an aggressive skater but I also liked a powerblade set up for long skates so I can totally relate to your feelings on all this.

your skatting, your speech content and your voice

I just started skating about a week and half ago (like... from 0) I learned by watching your videos, they helped a lot. started with skating for a few minutes, now I skate for about an hour or so. Still having a bit of trouble with balance, but smoothing it out slowly. Your videos are a great inspiration; and your narration is quite brilliant, I enjoy it quite a bit. Subscribed. Thanks for putting up all those tips.

really liked the thought out narrative. actually watched start-to-end

I play hockey in the winter this looks really cool can't wait to start with inline skates keep it up love the videos

This is art, man. Love it

Love to watch you skate. I'm an awful blader but I live it and skate anyway. You're vids are always fun and provide a great deal of educational content on skating as well. Thanks for the high quality work!

I love your passion and the way you look at inline. I skated ALOT from 10 to 17 years old. 30 now I just got some Rollerblade Twister 80s. I like them alot. Up to 7 mile runs now. Thanks for the vids!

this video took me back to a city I love and really inspired me, I will start practicing and inline skating in Copenhagen. Thanks

I was never into roller skating as much as I did with ice skating but ever since I've been watching these videos and I'd never thought I would be skating on the road and go around the city of london and it really is a nice feeling to feel the breeze rolling around the city and the amazing scenery :D

Wow man what an impressive skate session. I have always been nervous about skating downtown, but you make it look fun. Especially around city hall.

nice video! I started skating again after nearly 15y, not grinding and in halfpipes as in my younger years. but its video's like this one that got me started again! thx for that and keep it up!

Thanks London. You're in one of the best and trickiest cities to roll, enjoy. great point on not limiting yourself!

the commentary is like im listening to a neverending poem. and i love it!

i do aggressive blading and i've been doing it for 16+ years. your commentary is awesome and i agree with so much of it. GREAT VIDEO!

Mate, your experience with ice hockey shows up in this video.Thank you for the experience. Will put on my inlines tonight at the rink. I don't trust myself on the streets yet. Thanks for all the advice.

I just wanna say , keep doing what you are doing ,you are awesome !!!

WOW this asphalt so good amazing, this roads=) In russia sooo bad asphalt. Im speack eng a little but i thinck u undesrtend me=) Amazing skill amazing roads=) Ty for motivation

I just started skating. And seeing you doing your thing, it motivates me a lot 2 hold on and don't give up. Cause right now i'm making a fool of myself the way i skate. I really enjoyed your vid. Please make more vids like that. Thx.

I love this video and Toronto. Thanks from Barcelona. ;)

I've travelled via vehicle on or near most of these roads before but never on foot or skate, this was like a recon skate in itself. Great move with the knee pads! I'm going with hockey shin pads soon, enables adventure with minimal punishment.

awesome video. There's just something about weaving through the obstacles and traffic that's so enjoyable.

I'm late to the party, I know. But I loved everything about this video. Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

You've described my own feelings about running (y)...Skating gives me most of the freedom but it's more fun and faster, I like speed :)

Bill, KZfaq suggested a couple of your old video’s. You were in hockey style skates using the hockey stick for your camera. My how things have changed. 360 camera, invisible selfie stick slick edits Etc. The one constant good skating, superb narration. Someone commented you are a poet, how aprapos. Miss hearing “Stay Low” when things get shaky I repeat that to myself and it still works and I am sure it always will.

I'm a figure skater with an ice hockey background but this was one of the most motivational things I have seen or heard for that matter in a very long time. Looks like I wont be hanging up my skates just yet.

Thanks for the fantastic review. Very happy to find other birds that feel like me!

Amazing!! I have been rolling for three days and I feel great, I just really want to practice more! Thank you for you video, greetings from Chile!!

I watched your whole video and you are really great! I fell in love with city rollerblading! It's amazing and you are a great inspiration! I have always loved rollerblading in my city since i was 6 with my friends, I am 18 now :D Thank you so much for this incredible video!

Bill, your narrative style is awesome. Sounds like a quirky hypnosis I'd with brilliant words

very cool - talented skater! I have just started skating again (dare I say quad skates), after not touching skates since my teens...Very cool to see your video.

Thanks for making this Bill, it's great to sit back and watch. I'm a bit bruised from a 4-hour skate session a few days ago ("Hmm, I'll just go out for a bit" nope) and I gotta substitute my exercise craving with watching some flows.

Didn't realise you did the London skate. I do it three times a week and you are right London roads are the most challenging. Nice video.

Insanely good video. The longer videos are great - please keep making them.

Awesome video, love your ideas. Nice change.

*Part 1b* It is hard to imagine, as skating to me, is something to get away and enjoy an activity. To me, you represent the ambassador of skating! Your mastery of this sport is certainly a cherished art how you present it. It is a thrill each time I see a new posting from PINTO P.P.! Paint horses are really a marvelous breed. I grew up w/ Appaloosas in ID and then in my early adult years moved on to paints of the American Standard bred (paint horse) variety located in Ojai, CA.

You're rollingf-word-amazing! WOW!

Amazing video, I am no skater...sometimes I wish I were, but I am not graceful at all. I really loved your video, I felt as though I were right there with you the whole time. The narration was simply awesome, you are very interesting and exciting to watch. Thank you for sharing your video. I look forward to more. Ps the music was perfect for this video!

I like your older skate video. It has a different vibe to it. The newer skating videos are nice, but those older videos are just the bombs!!!!!

Dude, I got one thing to say after watching your video's. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. And your skating skills are ridiculous.

You're amazing! You give me hope for my abilities.

Thanks loads R, huge props indeed! I enjoy writing for this because I know you and others know exactly what I'm talking about. Very few around me have tolerated my skate talk; I love that the inline community is out there to communicate and conspire with.

thank You again Pinto ! I have just come back to this video after some time.Your effort became my inspiration to battle on and find enjoyment in my learning. just met a fellow street blader from france here in melbourne and introducing him to Your flows Bill . seriously , thats half the fun of my blading !! People LOVE your get up and go attitude. regards stephen

That was awesome Bill..... inspired me to grab some skates this weekend :))

I'm learning at the moment, in quiet car parks currently. Love the tips vids but this one was brill. Great inspiration

I could listen to you speak all day... New blade addict here

top drawer Bill, I have been skating between 19 & 25 km a session and i know what you mean about the quads knotting up, also trying to get a descent flow without getting caught out by those damn cracks & pebbles on the path ! keep up the great work fella !

I honestly could just listen to you talk!! You sound so poetic

This is so calming

"crack kills" that was amazing . I hate those cracks that are above metro stations !! They scare me even when I'm walking normally!

That was great to ride along w/ you & feel what its like flying along w/ Jonathan Livingston Seagull rather than be left down by the pier groveling w/ the other birds. It was very interesting hearing your musings along your interesting journey w/ such adept & insightful narration as the clearer we come to absolute truth the more simply, as you exemplify, they can be expressed!

Ha, I watched half of this, thinking I was in Montreal but seeing nothing I remembered (I'm in San Francisco) . . . . enjoying your videos.

I will be moving to Toronto next year and I look forward to skating there.

You made my day. Thanks so much. Tomorrow my Seba High will arrive, and I'll follow you :-)

With figure AND ice hockey background you're never allowed to hang up your skates Elizabeth. Thanks for the props, happy flying!

i don't understand what you say in the video, but i love them ! I m from France , thanks a lot, these videos are relaxing ! i would like learn skate but i m 45 old, may be this summer, go on please !

Thanks for answer all my question. Little more practise of stopping and I'm ready for London

**Part 1* This is really a fantastic YT I watch it every evening. It is award-winning videography, to say the least. The thought put into this is exquisite! The prose are also enchanting, invigorating, if not downright comical i.e. "Toronto use to be run like NY by the Swiss now it is more like Detroit run by the Maltese!" Very clever! There are so many other noteworthy facets I could point out here!

*Part 2* They (Paints) were masterful and beautiful equines to be involved with. It is likewise a very inspiring reality w/ your production work how you convey a much looked forward to relaxing and enjoyable manner that you emanate forth especially through your expertise with film.

I started skating today, it's so hard for me at this point... I guess it will get better if I keep practicing and don't get discourage by the falls, what you do seems like magic, you are levitating Im struggling. xoxo

I am in love with your voice and skating.

Huge variation in your city for rolling, especially the hills. If I ever get back, we'll tear it up.

Thanks loads R. I love knowing that there are skaters out there that want dialogue on skating.

Thanks Wei! Your routes sound like a skaters dream, tear it up.

Hey man awesome commentary...your dry wit is definitely appreciated by this skater of Boston & NYC. - (your right , running does suck...) Peace.

Thank You for Your video, I really liked it. I just started skating in the summer, so still a n00b, but this video gives a lot of inspiration, thanks!

Love your videos as always, you've been the biggest influence for me skating NYC. I've done the major Central Park loops, 10 Mile - River scenery skate, and 10 Mile - Manhattan to Flushing Skate (Very rough in the city, but smooth sailing in Queens, chasing cars between lights).

I want to try skating to and from places but where I live there are few sidewalks and the speed limit is 40mph. Really makes me want to move to a city. The best I can do is skating to walmart but even then the road is really bad for about 100ft. It can't kill my passion for this hobby though. Thank you for the videos Bill.

Nice video, and I saw you talked about cracks, here in Brazil, were I pratice skating, Jesus, you don't wanna know, trying find a place without cracks here it's almost impossible, but like you said, it's a thing that you have to learn dodge. Bisedes that, speed it's a dream.

So relaxing

**Part 2** Also, how Bill describes his observation of other skaters that the very lines a person skates evidences a type of unique skater communique in essence. Just a very insightful work here! Notice how Bill storyboards his design in how he puts together a very well thought out flow not just to his skating route also the intrigue of one gem after the other each street along the way in this exceptional high grade quality production.

Awesome video and skating!!! I had a lot of fun watching the whole thing while eating some dinner! =) Can't wait to get this good... Just went on my first city skate and it was at NIGHT!!! Very challenging getting used to the things you have to avoid and what not especially not being able to see easily. My front wheels look like they got tore up some how by something so I'm assuming I need to rotate them and eventually upgrade to harder wheels when my current ones die. xD

Great video!

Awesome music!

Man I love your videos! ! I decided to skate again a few weeks ago and was looking for technique videos when I came across your channel and it's such a big inspiration. I'm 23 years old now and not in shape at all, so my first few city skates of ~5km are KILLING my legs hahahaha Much love from berlin, germany!

Amazing vid this ones is one of my favorites and when it comes to breathing do it through your nose and out your mouth it will help I do it and I'm a city skater and cross country runner so trust me :) keep making ur awesome vids

Bike riders of..... _mixed ability_😂 Your commentary is the second best thing in these videos. Also, I'll have to keep an eye out for the slappable offenses.

Thanks for the specific props A; aspirational stuff.

Ciao sono un principiante del Lido di Roma, sto imparando tantissimo dai tuoi bellissimi video! Grazie da Roma! Vorrei riuscire a fare tutte le strade di Roma Antica..un giorno! ciao

This so amazing

great stuff!

Tony Hawk will need either a scooter or a good moped to keep up with your speed, ......congratulations to Canada winning the Olympic hockey gold medal this year, and for the 25 medals..... you guys deserve it..........you got good skills, thanks for the tips, I can rollerblade faster since I saw your video, I practice everyday until blister.............love to skate listening to drum and base.......hard core jungle, good luck....Salu2

Thanks for mentioning Play it Again Sports. Will definitely check them out... I skate around Harbourfront and the Goodman Trail. Also sometimes on the Front St. Will be great to join you and skate together...

Y and E...my old stomping ground. Grew up in that area. Really enjoyed your roll down Yonge st. my memory lane. Was happy you took a detour to Yorkville. Was always reluctant to roll down the Yonge hill south of Summer Hill. Could be quite hectic at times. Not much space sometimes with hog drivers of the road. You really want a roll...try rolling down Mount Pleasant blvd south of St. Clair. That will really get your wheels spinning...or how about the Bayview extension south of Moore...then if you're up to it trek your way up Pottery Road and stop at the DQ for a sunday at the top. My friend actually rolled down Pottery Road once on blades. I would only try that if they stopped the traffic. lol

when you jump, seems like spider man sometimes. Cool 😎😎
