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.

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 ай бұрын

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.

How good you are is an absolute crime ... going down steps is one thing, but you were also stepping up them vertically at that speed with ease. Side note, song choices were on point.

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

Used to rollerblade a lot as a kid, now that I’m older I ski a bit but the memory is still there. We have a really nice 10 mile loop in my town for walking/biking and they just installed a really long 20 mile walking path that goes up the island in Suffolk county, goes from wading river to port Jeff.

@jasonmarkwell8593 8 ай бұрын

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.

@HarborEdwin 8 ай бұрын

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 : >

This is awesome! Takes me back to the days of riding a fixed gear back around Chicago with narrow bars so I could fit between tighter gaps in traffic. There’s nothing like the feeling of flowing through traffic and being totally keyed into what is going on all around you.

Those wheels looks nice and perform fast. It does quite require more control to wield. I would put them in equally distributed side faces. Maybe brands showing in front and rear and the backs on the inner wheels or maybe alternating.

This looks so damn fun. Idk why or how rollerblading isnt as popular as it used to be. Seems like such a fast way to get around places. Makes me want to get into it and learn how to get dope at it forsure. Im probably gonna get a pair for me and my sons cuz ik they will definitely love to do it as well.

The awareness ganme is key here I feel! Guy knows how the city moves and grooves. I feel like I am familiar with my city but I do not think I would approach n intersection at those speeds unless I had absolute stopping power, which this guy clearly does. Also, notice how he barely breaks a sweat, in Miami you would have been drenched lol. I never though of NYC as a place I liked, I always thought that it was too over crowded and king of thought about it like a dim, concrete jungle, but this video sheds some light on asideIhave never seen, muchmore vibrant than I remember. Awesome video!
