Back in the Groove with USD Carbons // Aggressive Inline Skating

[@lc-fh7ux]

i think all the action speeds up your reflexes. increasing your awareness and helping skate better.

[@Snifffski]

You deserve a medal tbh getting stuff done in there. It's like dodging little critters in a video game.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

My 3 goals for today: 1) Don't hit any kids 2) Don't hit any kids 3) Don't hit any kids

[@BacktoBlading]

Ha! Pretty much.

[@lc-fh7ux]

@@BacktoBlading sell me some skates bro

[@vyrnmn]

I did notice a couple of kids on blades in the background, which is always cool to see. I doubt blading will ever get back to the insane popularity it had in the 90s and early 00s, but it's cool to see kids trying out blades again.

[@BacktoBlading]

I actually found their parents and gave them a Rollerwarehouse catalog and some stickers. Gotta spread the good word!

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

Just posted about this in blade dad Facebook group. Skate parks have become playgrounds. When we grew up a skate park was fast fierce and if you didn't know what you were doing you either found out fast crashed or got your butt kicked. The other day I drop in down a quarter pipe and instantly smashing to a little girl who decided she was gonna sit down and play at the bottom of the quarter pipe. Skate parks are a great place to skate when you know how. They are absolutely not a place to learn how to skate it is a place to practice and develop your craft not explore and learn it. I'm tired of skate parks being over run with children who do not skate and stand or sit on all the obstacles and then when I do run into their kids I have to have a talk with skate park mom and explained to her why her daughter shouldn't be here. It's gotten worse and worse as we have gotten softer as the societie. My home park was maximis in Cambridge Massachusetts, it's featured in hoax two and even there they mention you pick your spot and fo and if your in somebodies way expect to get dropped . I'm beyond sick of this. Have gone back to skating street 98% of the time again as a result.

[@rogerspacebucks450]

My local park used to have an attendant who checked to see if you had a city park membership, and this guy enforced a strict set of rules. Now its a free for all with kids, parents standing around watching their kids, and even dogs running around.

[@intoinline2232]

The park I favor has a pretty heavily enforced helmet rule. It seems restrictive, but it actually keeps all the young kids away, as well as their parents because NO ONE is allowed in the fence without a helmet, and parents aren't about to buy a helmet to stand and watch their kids use something that isn't a playground as a playground. Also people should wear helmets, in my opinion, so I don't mind. The best park in the area is not skateable because it's all little girls in tutus running around the bowl while their parents take photos - should NEVER put a skatepark next to a playground. I have noticed any park that is mostly by itself is fine - if they are near other public areas they just get overrun immediately. I've honestly started lowering my shoulder - I was mid spine transfer and nearly took a kid out scooting across the flat - my next attempt same thing happened but I just said "screw it" and plowed through the landing. Now he'll look both ways.

[@areomyst]

I, like many others, would benefit greatly from a helmet! Thank you for the opportunity to be picked.

[@Markjg0580]

Fair play for sticking it out, I’d have packed up and found another spot when I saw how busy that was. I still need a helmet by the way 🙏

[@lonerblader85]

You and me both haha

[@caneface87]

This was so frustrating to watch lol those scooter kids! Great vid dude. Keep Rolling everyone!

[@wswan81]

Oh man, loving your vids as usual. Shame about all the traffic 🤣🤣 Just back into blading after 20+ years, nice quite little park i go to not far from work. Got some knee and wrist protection, getting confidence back slowly. I would comment that i need a helmet, but being in Western Australia, i doubt it 🤣🤣 Anyway, keep up the content man, peace out.

[@nicholaswest9146]

I struggle with the whole how to teach skate park etiquette thing often. I feel the pain. Sometime it's not possible to teach. Other times I find myself yelling, "coming through, COMING THROUGH", which usually gets people noticing me ^_^ -- btw, fun park!

[@BladerReboot]

I was thinking about going out to Apex this weekend, but now I’m not lol. Way too many kids. We went to Kernersville Park this morning and there was barely anyone there. Not as cool of a skatepark though. You’re doing great though dude!!

[@MicahCarioto]

Another great, inspiring video. Thanks!

Nce but too busy. there. After listening to the podcast I am learning soul slide (100mm ) Eric Cruz sold the idea well. Thanks for that. All the best Stay safe

[@georgemarcosblader]

Sweet royale on the rail!

[@tobyrussell4523]

Great videos, love them. You should try a skate park in the UK; very small indeed with loads of people on them. Its a challenge! Need to get you a video submitted for this months community challenge. Would love a helmet if you send outside of the US!

[@wesleyonline8299]

I see you struggling some grinds and I feel exact the same way. My head is telling me that I know how to do tricks but my body... After 20 years 😂. I just got back to blading as well and it feels great. Like your vidz 👍

[@davidpryor5129]

My aeon 60s from SkatePro should be coming in next week. They’ll be my first pair of aggressive skates ever but I’ve been rollerblading/playing hockey since I was a wee lad. Can’t wait. Thanks for the vids/ triangle locations

[@davidpryor5129]

I could also use a helmet :) ty

[@callumgunn5499]

Oossshh free helmet ⛑😁. Kids with no direction from parents not good 😒, Other than that looked like a really good session. It’s good that there’s people out there like you that puts in the time and effort to do these videos that help me and a lot of other people 😎, thank you 🙏

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I am right there with you on the whole skate park etiquette thing. Their needs to be some basic guidelines at each park to refer parents and kids to (like a public swimming pool). It really is in the best interest of the kids to understand how to look for lines in parks when others are using them. My biggest pet peeve is when kids sit on skate features or stand in the base of a bowl. Unless you fell and are getting back up, you should neve stay in or on a skatepark feature.

[@BacktoBlading]

I’ve been thinking about making some laminated cards to give away to parents with IKEA style illustrations

[@ThirtyandRollin]

@@BacktoBlading Haha sounds like a worthy cause! I mean it really is for the kids own good.

[@nicolassullivan7746]

Love your videos an im so new to skating i would have just left that park. I skate in a small town we have a sweer concrete park but no one hardly ever goes. Thanks for these videos man ! I could use a helmet !

[@MattMc55]

Wow thats a dangerous park with all those kids on it.

[@Fish_Face]

nice job on the rail!

[@3Bankai3]

kudos to you for not slamming into some of those kids, i wish we had park that nice close to my home. i can use a helmet

[@EugeneBaldovino]

Dope railslide!

[@that_which_is_not]

I have a love hate relationship with public outdoor parks. The ratio of good skating to spending your entire time dodging lemmings doesn’t always add up!

[@vyrnmn]

My local park can have that many people on it in warm weather, and it's about 1/4 of the size. It can be an absolute nightmare if you time it poorly.

[@zeroone156]

Just started skating again after 9 years, I would love and definitely know I need a helmet

[@user-yf2lk5gi7q]

Blading community challenge for this month is royale on a five year old's scooter, and don't hit any kids.

[@keilflaherty227]

I need a new helmet. I bought a cheap one ages ago on ebay for £8 and it doesn't feel like it will protect my noggin lol. I hate busy parks with young kids as they just cruise around without a care in the world. Keep up the good work.

[@k2vonryan]

I would love to get a helmet!

[@CostaBlancaFrenchies]

Scooters ruined skateparks fact. Parents sending their 2 year olds down transitions and not even watching them as they almost die with little to no pads

[@wadesblades8316]

Scooters themselves aren't the problem, just bad parenting is.

[@CostaBlancaFrenchies]

Wades Blades scooters bring in almost 75% of the kids and thats being an understatement, parks are over run with scooter kids as it takes 0 skill to scoot around, its not like blading, bmx or boarding

[@intoinline2232]

Just wait until the "balance bike" trend takes off in your area...you'll WISH it was just toddlers with scooters.

[@CostaBlancaFrenchies]

@@intoinline2232 what's that about??

[@intoinline2232]

@@CostaBlancaFrenchies "Bikes" without pedals or breaks designed as pre-bike for very young children. Parents basically just give them a shove and off they go - generally toward wherever I'm about it land it seems...

[@cyclopegaming464]

I still need a helmet 😅 Great Videos man

[@urbansledder]

I'm 32.. when I was young and skateparks were very few and far between, it was understood that you had to have a certain level of skill and etiquette to be in the park. Why do these little kids who can barely roll around need to be in a skatepark?? They can roll around the sidewalk or bike paths.

I'd kill for a helmet, mine is just for looks at this point

[@stealth-x2995]

There really needs to be an understanding that skateparks arent a place for you to dump your children. It just isn't the place them to just cruise around, not paying attention. People arent endangering the children, the children are posing a danger to people using the park for its intended purposes. I was getting irritated just watching this. The parents just dont get it, apparently.

Way too crowded for actually skating the park. Solid job getting what you did, done. The last one had me in shock though, the second you went up the ledge and locked I , kids on scooters appeared right in the landing zone. Their parents need to be more involved with learning park etiquette.

[@jasontopholm441]

Most skate parks have a sign that says something about skating at your own risk. I'm sorry but if I run somebody's kid over not my problem. The second anybody sets foot on a skate park they assume responsibility for anything that happens to them.
