i know! It's so awesome! ^_^

This is crazy

I'm litterally just awestruck

I was looking at my other monitor when they said his name, i was like no way !!!!

Me too

well that's not really a fair comparison hah. Chris has been skating for years (probably been through a bunch of nasty slams) so that confidence carries over pretty fast.

You with your experience would learn on a board much faster than the normal new skateboarder too. There’s a lot of carry over between different types of skating, pretty much any great transition skater can look like they’ve been snowboarding for 5+ years in a few days

I shouldn’t complain about a single thing in this video.... BUT, call it a “Groove”. Who calls it an H Block? It’s the grooved shape between the wheels... Again I’m just nitpicking, awesome video!

@@nevincaulfield lol and trucks don’t look like trucks 🛻 but here we are 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@nevincaulfield From where I'm from, people here do call them a H Block or more commonly, a Grind Block.

Stop referring to everything people do the "____ community". It's pretentious asf and sounds super needy and clingy. Also, it's just ridiculously misleading.

@@mysonandme8424 This comment of yours is real pointless. Thanks for taking the time though, i guess.

Thanks Rob love you

legend

Do a nother collab please

Thank you!

Braille is cool, blading is cool, funny thing is that Thrasher thinks both of these are lame

@@RolandAshcroft I don’t rollerblade personally but I think it’s sick. People need to do whatever makes them happy and stop caring what everyone thinks it makes life better

@@AndrewMoto96 Yeah man, couldn't agree more. To me skating is freedom from everything, including other people's perceptions. At 45 and walking with a stick, I like to see people smile when I'm bombing hills and racing traffic, with one hand on my walking stick and the stick propping up my knackered back leg. Adversity shouldn't stop you doing what you love, and other people's opinions certainly shouldn't! I'm hoping maybe one day there'll be a Paralympic downhill skating or something like that, and I can get sponsored lol. Never give up your dreams, or the things in life that bring you joy. I quit six years ago due to my disability and went on tons of painkillers, but the endorphin dump from skating around, even on flat ground does a better job of relieving pain, and more importantly it buoys my spirit. I'll never be able bodied again, but I've learned that it doesn't need to stop me skating. Getting high on your own supply of endorphins is great for depression too, so everyone should skate, or inline, or roller skate, or BMX, or even scooter (I guess I do still have a little skater prejudice lol). It's exercise but it's fun, and that beats grinding in the gym for a workout that's no fun.

@@RolandAshcroft they aren't wrong.

@@Si74l0rd or maybe you can be first cyborg skater :D

Man's drops bangers on the guitar and skates

Rob is insane, I've skated with him several times in Chicago and every time he throws down super hard. At Chicago's Wilson summer bowl comp in 2020 he absolutely shredded the peanut pool. He'll be doing 540s out of grinds when just seshing a practice rail

Arlo Eisenberg was the GOAT of inline skating.

Skaters hated rollerbladers when I was growing up. Still do probably.

@@HonkeyKong54 that's a 90's thing, it doesn't happen anymore. at least everytime i go to a skatepark everywhere the contact with skaters are smooth and friendly

Thanks!

@@stephenfrancis303 I had Bladerunners in 89, then bought my Lightning TRS in 90/91. But Lightning were around in the late 80's👍

Agreed! Unless I've missed it; it's been awhile since BFree has been on Braille too

@FullClippz it’s because inline skating is already a separate sport

@FullClippz type in inline skating on KZfaq. You’ll get a lot of big wheel, cruiser, distance or casual type skating. It’s a way to show the difference in types of skates, and styles of skating.

Yeah, I am of that demographic. Watched the B-Free videos back in the day, subscribed, and now can’t get enough of watching JD tear up the half pipe. I don’t skateboard, but I enjoy watching it (and playing THPS).

It's the skateboarding for years. Things translate. Like not being as scared, balance, just being able to commit in general yea. I've been skateboarding for 25 years and just started playing with rollerblading for fun January 2021 and now I'm stuck. It's suuuuuper fun.

@@Boyish000 yep definitely some of the same concepts involved and yeah its super fun even just rolling around, same with skateboarding but still very different haha

@@jacobs_quest yea I can ONLY soul grind on a downrail. On a flat bar I have only 4 grinds. It's nothing like skateboarding. I can do like 20 grinds on a skateboard and it's really a whole different game. We all play the same music but use different instruments.

How long does it usually take, I skateboarded for a while years ago and getting to the stage of grinds and gaps took years, for learning inline grinds and say jumping stair sets would you say it takes less time ? Was considering picking up inline blading for 2022 as inline looks, not exactly easier but quicker to get the basics of grinding and hitting gaps than skateboarding

@@Shodan130 the more time you spend on skates the more you will progress as long as you are pushing yourself. Just start with balance, turning and just feeling comfortable then practice the basic grinds on a practice box or rail. I learned all the basic grinds within a year and can jump a 9 or 10 stair now but only skated once or twice a week on average.

Yeah its so fun to do. You can see my profile picture is my skates

Cause rollerblading isnt hard. Its just a dead sport.

@@NickGoSk8 clicked ur profile and almost all your comments are you insulting things and/or people. So insecure it’s hilarious😂😂

@@NickGoSk8 And then the one where you said “I wish I had your life instead of mine”🤣 wraps it all together

@@8nvibin454 LOL

@@Boyish000 I am cool to non kooks. I like to make fun of kooks though. Plus I can tre flip and I bet rollerblade look can’t. And tell your mom to stop calling me dude.

you don't have to call yourself a Fruit Booter, unless it has a new meaning

Yup, we film a lot of videos in a day so when someone comes for a weekend they end up in 6-7 videos!

@@brailleskateboarding it's smart

But take him to the streets

Montre can also be super kid friendly too.

They did go on a snowboarding trip like last year or 2 years ago? Not trying to LEARN tricks but they went snowboarding for sure. Aaron looks great on a snowboard. He's done it before for sure

Thanks

So good

I don’t think it will ever happen, because skateboarding is by far the most popular type of action sport. But it’s a cool idea, I like the way you think

@@zaharu4375 the Braille format just makes for great videos and the Braille house is a great place to skate. Their team can just create another channel with a group of bladers and just produce the videos and I am sure it would be a hit. This is a media company after all. Yes the mission is to spread skateboarding and I don’t want them to loose sight of that, but they have built up the talent for making great videos, and the in-line community could really benefit from it.

@@baertheblader9402 Exactly, and blading is more niche than skateboarding. There are lots of places to learn to skateboard, but not so easy to find blading lessons. It could be a really great market to get into. Plus I really enjoy watching the blading videos.

Tons of skateboarders think rollerblading is lame as f

@@HonkeyKong54 most of the younger generation of skateboarders have no opinion of rollerblading because they simply haven’t been exposed to it. And if they make an in-line focused channel that doesn’t interfere with the skateboarding content, then who cares what those particular close-minded skateboarders think? They can just choose not to watch it.
