"competitive training grounds" 😂😂😂 Competition used to only be vert, so now that we have street contests, street parks are "training grounds?" 😂
@alpoLand7 ай бұрын
The SLS style parks are still "fun." Maybe you just need to approach it differently. Additionally, most communities nowadays are more inclined to make parks that can lead their users to someday become Olympic athletes. Kinda the same thing with every other sport. Think about the communities that don't have a single skatepark and you're gonna complain about the designs? 😂 At least we aren't skating the shitty gigantic concrete parks when people didn't understand physics entirely.

With love from a rollerblader. Rollerblading is not roller derby & quad skating is not all roller derby. That like calling you a Longboarder or even a BMXer. It's all very different. Appreciate the video and love for Quad skaters though ❤ They shred so hard.

Hi John. I'm an aggressive quad skater, former skateboarder, thought I would share some vocab/lingo and roller skate history with you and the comment lurkers! This is a response to the comment "Roller derby has gotten really gnarly, they can skate pretty much skate any obstacle skaters can skate." 2:31 "Roller derby" is not the same as "aggressive quad skating." Roller derby is a contact team sport. Some roller derby players might also do aggressive quad skating, but not all derby players do, nor does every aggressive quad skater play derby. Additionally, the obstacle you're referring to resembles what is typically used in "banked track derby", where some derby teams play on flat ground. "Rollerblades"(inlines) are also not typically used in roller derby. "Quad skates" have two axis's of movement on each skate, vs the one axis per skate inlines have. This increases your chances of falling on quads, yet expands the range of agility and precision in movement. Range of motion is increased with the use of "toe stops" which are rubber breaks we can use to stop, walk, or launch off of without using wheels. "Roller skates" is often used as an umbrella term, though it originally referred to quads. Roller blades/"inline skates" are often referred to as roller skates, and quad skates are roller skates, but quad skates are not roller blades. Quad roller skates are the original roller skates, dating back to the 1800s. These are the skates with "trucks". Inline skates are the skates with the four wheels (sometimes 2 wheels are used with 2 "anti-rockers" in the middle) in a line or row per skate, hence "inline". The term "Rollerblade" comes from a brand name, like how some people call tissues, kleenex. Aggressive quad roller skating is not actually as new as we think, just more relevant today which has helped progress the sport. In the late 70s to the 90s, aggressive quad roller skaters were actually skating vert ramps, doing stalls and catching air. Highly suggest you check out CIB crew's "History of Vertical Roller Skating" playlist on KZfaq if you want to be mindblown by dudes side surfing vert ramps and flying in the 80s. Grinding and sliding came later. An attachment that is placed between two trucks, called "slide/grind blocks" are a relatively recent innovation which enables quad skaters to slide and lock in on obstacles from side to side. One of the most recent developments in aggressive quad skating is the use of "wide trucks" in order to get better lock in on grinds. While it started with skaters putting 3.125 penny board trucks on their skates, eventually companies like Chuffed Skates, Brunny Hardcore and Huck started manufacturing wide trucks specifically made for quad skates. p.s. if you made it this far, here is a FUN FACT: Quad roller skates came before skateboards, and skateboards were invented using roller skate trucks. All wheels, all day. Hope y'all enjoyed some history no one asked for :)

Rollerblading kind of requires obstacles that are a little higher and much longer than skateboard obstacles when comparing skaters at similar skill level. It's simply less interesting to grind a 5-6ft long rail with how stable our lock in is. A 10-12ft rail allows for switch-ups and long steezy grinds. Also, since our blades are strapped to us, we don't really require the same amount of setup time between obstacles. Hence them being built close together sometimes. It allows us to do a line in a tighter, more rapid fire sequence. Hit up some bladers for a session sometime, might make for an interesting video.

@TheGuyBroNintySix What a closed minded perspective. I suggest checking out Chris Haffey's Drip Drop, Carlos Pianowski's Fruitbooter, or Brian Shima's Killer Boots sections. I promise, if you're willing to give these videos a real chance, you WILL see how unbelievable roller blading has gotten. It's nice to see parks that cater to the needs of specific sports. Especially if they could be seen as niche or a risky investment. How much more anti-establishment can you get than that?

@s.s.o.georgia7034 Ya know... I'll start off saying that I'm a 35 year old dude who hasn't stepped on a skateboard in about 5 years (some kind of chronic inflammation shit with my left knee is too painful when attempting just a simple ollie).. I've never cared for rollerblading due to being the old school "SKATE OR DIE" closed minded fuck. My beliefs were something like "how hard is to run and jump on stuff with wheels attached to your lamborfeeties"!? Buuuttt, after watching one of your recommended video parts - Brian Shima's Killer Boots section, I must admit that my mind has been blown. You can tell how hard he goes, his passion, speed, willingness to go big is insane. That super long grind on the tight curve rail where it ends like inches beside a car and a bush.. the God d*** 510,000,999 stair grind with the kink.. The hubba grind transfer to rail, crazy maaannnn
@s.s.o.georgia70347 ай бұрын
@skaterjed Dude, this is what I'm talking about. All of these sports are so sick if you're willing to appreciate them! The Chris Haffey section opens with a gap so large, he fractures BOTH of his heels when he "lands". And Pianowski front side grinds a pretty good size handrail, IN A STRAIGHT JACKET! I grew up trying to skateboard and realized I just wasn't very good at it, but when I found rollerblading it allowed me to learn the physics easier. When I tried getting back on a board, I landed an ugly nollie first try, something I simply couldn't imagine before. Hahaha.

Rollerblader here! I can personally say that that park looks sick! I don't have a really good park in my area with obstacles to fill my needs as an aggressive inline skater. So most of the time, I take to the streets to practice gaps and grinds. Edit: Aggressive inline doesn't have a very big trick vocabulary when it comes to flat-ground tricks(unless you're a "wizard skater"), so there are gonna be many more ledges to grind👍
