  • 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 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.

      I'd take a break in the middle of the night and Rollerblade down the LAKESHORE path on the lake side of Lakeshore Drive in Chicago. The summer Daley re-paved it. It was GLORIOUS. 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.

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.

    I've been to NYC once before, but just for a few days as a tourist. What's really fun is that a lifetime of seeing versions NYC in TV, movies, comic books, and video games has apparently given me at least some idea of certain landmarks. For example, I knew he was at least approaching the Hudson River Greenway (I didn't know what it was called before seeing this video) before we could actually see the water. Probably not impressive for most people, but I was pretty excited about it.

      From my pov I think these roads are great for skating. I love that they have one way roads over there, lots of lanes and cars all moving in same direction so he can freely cross. I also prefer skating on roads with a fair bit of traffic, don’t get me wrong I love going down empty roads but if I’m moving slower than cars behind me I just get on the pavement cuz I understand people have places to be and don’t want to be impeding on their time so for me the traffic here looks great. That being said I noticed some pretty tight lines in the video especially at high speed so what you said does kinda make sense. Always gotta be careful
