Blue sky skating - feeling good - rollerblading/patins/rolki

[@willywheels6598]

I wish the area where I skate was more skater friendly. I like the longer flows, they are relaxing to watch.

[@whittyskater]

Thanks for watching

[@kimimaro1983]

Tell me about it! I'm in Hull, East Yorkshire and there are not a great deal of places I could potentially do a longer skate flow. City Centre ranges from some good surfaces, to horrific cobbled streets, tiled paving with large gaps. Some alright car parks and of course the Hull University. I'm envious of WHITTYskater's locality!

[@22ryanoc]

Do you get beeped at and people yelling at you too? Towards the end of my skate session I get a little out of it and do risky things. I just took a fall on some rocks on the side of the road luckily was ok. I’m learning to stay out of cars way and jump on the curb when it’s tight. The trails are too dirty and the townspeople like seeing tricks. I’m trying to nail my toe roll and toe Footgun

[@22ryanoc]

@@kimimaro1983 plus you guys get rainy winters. I’m depressed thinking about being confined to skating in my basement this winter, but I’m hoping to find a good parking garage and when the road is dry I’m going to head out.

I am glad spring is on it's way too. Skating weather ahead.

[@whittyskater]

Yes indeed!

[@Arthur-eg7uy]

i love long skating videos! some voice over in the background would make it much more enjoyable to me personally! ☺️

[@abiwatsn]

i loved when you filmed from behind, if you could do it more often that would be great! also thank u these videos inspire me to skate more often :)

[@whittyskater]

Thanks for watching

[@s.dansfreakje9896]

Yes, same here! I still find it hard to spot good skating opportunities, it's really helpful to see you pick certain routes I would have never thought possible :)

[@ournarrowboatadventure8458]

I have to say, I like your longer videos, they really inspire me! KZbin algorithms aren’t always 100% correct! Keep up the good mix of content! I’ll be watching and liking! 👍🏻

Nice one, Buddy! Winter has felt long this year for sure. We had about 5 or 6 days straight of no rain, needless to say I skated non-stop! I needed it! Here’s to a dry spring. ☀️😁

[@whittyskater]

Roll on that warmer weather!

Please do a video talking about your present skate setup.

[@OWSRX7]

About the right length of video in my opinion friend. You look fast and stable on that setup.

[@whittyskater]

Thanks alot

I like the longer flows too man. Keep em coming!

[@whittyskater]

Thank you

[@Kis15]

I like this style 👍

[@whittyskater]

Thank you

[@justdrum4fun]

I could watch your skate flows for an hour so don't worry about the timescale ...... Your technique is so good to watch & use to pick up tips as I'm still learning & still at the bambi stage unfortunately ..... due to lockdown & winter & yobs causing the local multi storey to close down overnight due to their antics I haven't skated since October ..... I'm waiting for kids to go back to school as I feel a bit of a fool at nearly 49 yrs young but I've been putting the boots on every night & rolling back & forth between the living room slippery solid wood floor & not so slippy kitchen vinyl floor. It's practise in a way but I have noticed, even though bending my knees into the right stance etc, I'm still very stiff/tense (scared of hurting myself) so am still getting the power achy back syndrome plus I've noticed when out, the surface has to be smooth as I've found I can trip myself up over the slightest bit of loose gravel or any foreign objects that my skates would happen to hit ..... hopefully that will improve this year with practise once we get back to normality & nicer weather ..... Please keep the clips coming, very mesmerising watching your perfect skateflow & a good teaching reference to help me progress. Many Thanks @WHITTYskater!! 👍

[@whittyskater]

Hope you get to skate outside sometime soon. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support and I always enjoy the updates on your progress.

[@edwardtaylor5207]

I definitely enjoy the long flow! You'll have to roll with Si Coburn, i think he's round Gloucester way. I make the same noise when some dodgy surface catches me off guard

[@whittyskater]

The sound of relief that I didn't stack it!

[@melvinrabbers3848]

nice flow!!!

[@22ryanoc]

My day isn’t complete until I watch at least 3 skate flows. I’m glad I learned on 80 mm wheels. I have 90 ‘s power slide fusions that felt terribly unbalanced and killed my ankles. I do like those powerslide 3 x 110s. I wanted rollarblade maxum 90’s but I’m thinking they might be discontinued.

[@TracyJordan2122]

[@Mrmhibbert]

I think we had a nice 3 days where I managed to skate a bit. But I'm looking to start filming my sessions and get some good clips. I'd like to inspire some people to skate like all you guys on here do

[@whittyskater]

Go for it buddy.

[@jb837]

I can't go out with a 4 wheel set up. City skating is super smooth with the FR1 310 or the zoom Pro with trinity frame in 100mm is my second choice

[@whittyskater]

The FR310 is a nice skate indeed

[@jb837]

@@whittyskater yes Bro, my wife got the FR3 110, myself on the FR1 310

[@kkndcf]

About to order some FR1s. Would you recommend getting the same size as you would wear in a trainer or do you go bigger? Loving the content.

[@whittyskater]

Same size for me

[@TheWindyyy]

Hi I have a question about skating. So I've just picked up a pair of Oxelo MF500 (86A wheels) as I'd read reviews of them being good beginner skates at a cheap price and decent quality. I've skated before just recreational in a rink/sports hall but I'm now freeskating around the city. I've noticed the inner half of my wheel are wearing quite a bit. I should state that I'm skating on quite badly damage roads and have been practicing stopping, alot of t-stop and attempted power stop so I appreciate they will wear away. I was wondering if you had any tips for the 'way to skate' or if I should try to distribute my weight towards the outside (although I feel like this hurts my ankle as I'm pressing against the side of the cuff if that makes sense?

[@whittyskater]

My inside edges wear quicker as well and that's because they get used more when I do stops. I just rotate my wheels often so it's not a problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[@LeHosko]

Just been out this morning practicing braking and flow. Really getting a feel for it now but I only do it in a car park at yet. Once I'm confident will good level stops, turns and jumps I'll hit the streets and so be ready for whatever comes my way. I'm on 80mm wheels, would you recommend 90 for mixed terrain?

[@whittyskater]

I would stick with your 80s for now. They are a great size to learn on

[@PlantbasedRunners]

Have you tried a 360 camera? I see you like the BStop, I like the BStop too, practicing the Parallel slide.... You are very good on the stair roll 👏

[@whittyskater]

Nope not tried a 360 camera. They are fairly pricey.

[@22ryanoc]

I also recommend a good ski mask and goggles for sunny days. I prefer to skate at 5 am with my led flashlight. American themed goggles so they know im not a pchyco

[@shingweima]

Need to get back on the skates, and leg injury has kept me off since last year but I think I'm close to healed up and ready to go. This video is really helping me to get that desire to roll back. How did you size up the liners? I'm thinking my FR1 might be a little too big, but going Intuition might meet I need to go down a size on the FR shells. Any tips?

[@whittyskater]

I went down a shell size in the FR. Normally i used an eu43 but went with eu 42.

[@shingweima]

@@whittyskater I was afraid you'd say that, as now I'll need a new she'll as well as liner. Mind you, intuition liners are as rare as hens teeth at the moment

[@mephistopheles5327]

i like the long videos! Do you prefer this setup to FR310?

[@whittyskater]

Thanks. Yes I do. I just prefer 4 wheels

[@klisher]

3 minutes! they're missing all the good stuff. People these days they got no .. what was it.. oh yeah. not attention span haha (couldnt resist that) It probably you motivating them to skate so much they cant wait any longer. It has a been a long winter. Only skated once this year. (last week) so far. Even this week . bitter cold strong wind and heavy rain.. Somebody need to find the thermostat and crank it up. Nice to see a longer video. All the best mate. Take care PS. How are those Revolver wheels?

[@whittyskater]

Glad to hear you got out finally last week. I think the last 6 months have been my leanest skate period ever for me since I started. Roll on spring/summer and hopefully an easing in the lockdown rules. As always buddy thanks for watching 👍 Revolver wheels are ok so far. Got a feeling they won't last as long as the undercover though but seem to do the job.

[@c05campbell]

At least its lovely and flat, where I live is very hilly

[@whittyskater]

Yes I'm very lucky

[@inline601]

Grate to see someone in UK skating i started after 20 years and its grate I'm out of Edinburgh and hills are everywhere so sometimes it's scary going down. Did you ever tried 3 wheels set up? I just wondered how different it feels to 4

[@whittyskater]

Yep skated 3 wheels a fair bit. I've done quite a few videos featuring them. Check out my triskate playlist if you want.

[@pyroat7555]

Hi. Just a quick question. Do you skate with hockey skates? Are they good for long skating sessions? Which size and hardness do you use at the rolls? Looks pretty cool, thx for answer

[@whittyskater]

Don't own any hockey skates sorry.

@@whittyskater what else are these skates calls then?

I always get nervous jumping off a curb on one foot and landing on one foot. Last time I took a tumble with my arm in a sling. I Seem to be destroying my body but it’s well worth it and I’ll have to listen to the smarter side of myself and wear the damn gear. Tortoise pads :)

Yep. Near the docks.

[@Snifffski]

@@whittyskater Thought I recognised it. Wondering if you'd bumped into Si Coburn yet while you were both out on your wheels.

[@lisaf94]

i think you could increase that average watch time if you kept the commentary up through out the whole video - give us your thought process on various surfaces, etc something like bill stoppard

[@thewavyblue]

I prefer the camera angle from behind you so I can see where you're going and understand the context of your skating actions. It's harder to comprehend when you've navigated an obstacle and then we see what the obstacle was... y'know? Also, I'd prefer some lo-fi beat background music rather than environmental background sounds. Thanks for the video!

[@whittyskater]

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately holding the camera behind all the time is not an option for me. It's harder to balance and also makes my arm ache so can only do short bursts. As for music I try to mix it up on my vids. Sometimes I'll add music sometimes I won't. Music is also very personal. What one person loves another will hate.
