[@achoofull]

I like how he incorporated history into this video rather another "I tried to do..." vlog. It keeps things a bit more interesting.

[@akudumb3021]

achoofull That’s exactly What i was thinking!

[@pamelabraden5176]

He was great and I loved and appreciated how patient Quest was when teaching him. Really great video.

[@tayjacorneiro1210]

Completely unrelated but Quest's way of speaking and his positivity is soooo attractive

[@JordansBeauty22]

Tayja Corneiro attractive ASF

[@queeannyse]

Noticed his positive feedback and attitude, great teacher and seems like a cool dude!

[@SammiSweetz]

Tayja Corneiro it really is though 😩

[@JERRYR708]

I love this video. So positive and humble. I just started skating a couple months ago and love entering the skating rink. Even though sometimes I might be the only white dude on the floor, everybody makes me feel welcome. A lovely black lady saw that I was having trouble skating backwards and she came up to me with a beautiful smile, took me by the hand and taught me to skate backwards. Like you mentioned in this video, I also feel better connected to black people than ever before since skating. The rink just magically brings people together no matter what color we are. More of God and Roller Rinks would make America a better place.

[@ertfgghhhh]

Im black and where i live, white people skate. Edit: they skate but they do regular things and "shuffle"... Chile....

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

I'm from one of the "smallest big cities" in the U.S. and at any given session, we've got the rainbow of skin tones here. Blacks, whites, Mexicans, Asians, Egyptians....doesn't matter. If you've got wheels on your feet...we roll!!! :)

[@wonderwoman66dp]

That's WASSUP!

[@LK-zc9ho]

JERRYR708 great comment!

[@eddcain]

Love it!!

[@maddielam463]

I love seeing the roller skating community grow. I artistic roller skate and it was dying down for a while but roller skating is coming back!!!

[@yolandahines1094]

Maddie Lam yes. It is....

[@Youdonnome101]

Was never dying down you just wasn’t looking for it they’re have been national jams going on for YEARS* before me that still fill entire rinks

[@avahannah1790]

I also do artistic skating and he’s doing pretty well for only a few days

[@jucktsdich9778]

I actually do artistic roller skating to

[@therealmellyb]

It never dies down in certain urban areas. Unfortunately gentrification took away our rink in Brooklyn.

[@niafreeman1106]

Thank you for the proper background, the rink was one of the safest places for black kids

[@karringtontaylor9751]

Never knew there were people who didn't feel "black enough" I'm glad he felt empowered by this experience.

[@laurajohnson1342]

Tons. tons of young Black kids didn't feel "Black" enough. It's getting better, but I bet you dollars to donuts it was from the Black community as well.

[@DorisPayne348]

That means he grew up around white people and felt more comfortable around them. Brown skinned people(black) have a different type of energy. I love it!

[@unleashingpotential-psycho9433]

I want to learn how to dance skate now in a week.

[@recoil53]

I'll settle for not falling on my butt or breaking my wrists. Gravity seems to really like me when I'm on something wobbly.

[@fordjr.7015]

you have the potential!

[@televina]

recoil53 knees slightly bent. Back straight. Relax. You fall more easily when you’re tense.

[@bigvalley4987]

❤️UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS It is not that difficult if you know how to dance.☑️🆗

[@plushpuppy32]

I want to learn in my wheelchair

[@EmoLuv41]

I play roller derby - everything he said about the community is 1000% true. My derby sisters are my family!!!! Derby has done so much for helping my self confidence and feel included

[@speedlejuice777]

ApocalypseSkies when ever i’m skating it gives me so much more confidence omg

[@dhare07]

I have depression issued and don't do well in crowds anymore. But I've been watching a lot of skating videos and just by watching I feel inspired. This video was very inspirational. I haven't gone skating since Jr. High and in my 40's I think I should go back out there and enjoy myself. I love dancing and I really miss the feel of gliding around on the floor. This video has made feel confident enough to give it another go. So thank you for showing the difficulty and fun of reconnecting to the positive parts of my childhood. Have fun and enjoy life as if you won't see tomorrow because life is to short to go through it in pain everyday. Much love to all the pro skaters who just love the joy it gives. Peace, love, and fun everyone.

[@withlove_jr]

I’m gonna rent out a skate center for my birthday and play 70s songs , I LOVE SKATING SO IM EXCITEDD

[@TUNITMOM]

You did great! I use to roller skate every weekend when I was growing up....LOVED IT!!! now that I'm 50-something I really want to get back into it. You have inspired me. Thank You. Hope I don't break a hip bone.

[@shockg11]

VoidtexxMom My 63 year old mom picked it back up after 40+ years. She hasn’t fallen once! Don’t doubt yourself!

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Be careful, go slow, don't push yourself to hard. I took a 12-ish year break to have kids...my youngest was 17 months when we headed back to the rink...now as a family. It's just like riding a bicycle. That muscle memory DOES come back. For some, it may take as little as half an hour or so...for others, it may take a couple months of going regularly...but it IS still in you! :) My youngest is now 14 and we hit the skate parks, weather permitting, of course! Roll on!!

[@bigiron5508]

I'm with ya, I lived at the rink back in the 70's 5 days a week, would love to get rolling again..

[@klausuhlig7141]

Hell dude go for it last time I skated I was 50 now gonna be 75 and last year got new skates so I practice in my garage at that age u know ur getting old, but just like riding a bike, u never forget the beat,

[@belleheyne7309]

I'm approaching 50, and started skating again a month ago, best advice I have is put some pads on and go for it!

[@channonyoung9137]

Omg I went to high school with diamond ima about to text her! Lmao girl train me !?!

[@TalianTalia]

People always underestimate how hard skating is! I love this so much!!!

[@celestenabors7277]

From an artistic roller skater pov. I freaking love jam skating

[@ambermagnolia216]

"A lot of times, I didn't feel like I fit in...but skating was a way for me to feel like I belonged somewhere." -- I love that!! ❤

[@kristenk6898]

I just bought vintage roller skates for 8 bucks at the thrift store. I've never skate before, wish me luck!

[@dangelaf.lucarelli8270]

So are you dancing while skating or are you skating while dancing?

[@kapsican]

Yes.

[@valerieflores3165]

As an artistic roller skater all of these different styles really amaze me

[@TruthOrClaire]

He nailed that split! One of the things I really like about these videos is how positive the crowd is, especially knowing that the performer is trying something new or different. Proud of you, Ryan!

[@SciencewithKatie]

Looks a bit more safe and fun than figure skating 🙈

[@katt6762]

Science with Katie yep. I could say the same, I did figure skating once. I still kinda do

[@kristaj428]

just picture sharp blades instead of wheels on ice.

[@ibts6519]

Big Steve ice skating but as more of a dance x)

Super pumped to see this, I’m teach Jam Skating, JB skating, and trucking skate lessons at our rink here in Tennessee and it’s slowly making a comeback!! There is nothing for the Youth in this area to do, so if I can get them hooked on skating instead of other horrible activities.

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

I love how positive quest is. You need that type of guidance especially in a coach and learning something new

[@hellriiot]

He took 1 week while me 3 years nd i still cant stand straight 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

I am 50 and have been skating most of it. Life is better on 8 wheels. I need to learn the crazy legs

[@MichaelAlexander1967]

Man! You don't know how much I need this, because its been years since I skated comfortably. I like those skates that Quest has, I think I'll put my old skates to rest & get some new ones that look like soul dance skates. This video is definitely inspiring! Way to go.

Dope video I’m from KC and we used to tear it up at Grandview skating rink in the 90’s. I hadn’t skates since 96 , last night at 42 I jumped backed on them skates … it’s up lol

[@avasophie6228]

I’m a figure skater, and I can roller skate, but I can’t do what I can do on ice in roller skates lol. Similar but still a little different.

[@kcire-tv3wy]

We have people at the rink that can do both. There are differences as you are on quads instead of blades.

[@ertfgghhhh]

Get a pair of snow white skates.ur welcome

[@burninggarlicbread7869]

Have you tried blades instead of skates?

[@alexxander966]

Man, I hope he continues to skate with SWA and comes back in like a year with some bomb choreo, wouldn’t that be just amazing

MY secret most favorite hobby 😻 I look sooooo good skating 🤤 I love it! My baby girls are amazing skaters aswell 🤷🏾‍♀️❤️

Just moved here a week ago. He also went to the same college in Springfield as I did. Wild world

[@brandystarwilson]

Fellow KC girl too!!! He brought back some really cool memories of spending weekends at the skating rink with my sister and friends as a teen.

[@xXRavenCorpseXx]

As a mixed girl (dad is full black, mom is Mexican and white) it hurts to hear my people feeling they aren't enough to be a part of their culture. "Not black enough" I hear ppl day it so much. I get a lot of ppl who tell ME that and oh I love going off on them. Don't take my heritage from me. When both sides of my heritage can't get along with each other and each tells me I'm not enough of either to claim ground! I am what I am, and I'm proud of everything in me. You rocked those skates! ❤️

[@jonathanmedina7060]

I support this and you guys wholeheartedly 🙏🏼 this is good content

[@li0dud3]

I’m as pasty as a vampire, but skating has also become a source of community to me, because at my skating rink (Kansas!) a lot of the people there are queer teens, and I’m able to find more people like me who also have this passion for something that means so much to me and that I’ve been doing from the day I could walk, so I really related to this video and it made me really happy!! :)

[@NotesNNotes]

man I'm so happy to see this, I don't know if we have community in Seattle but I'm in the South often enough

[@iamkhonsu]

Roller Derby and Roller Skating are not the same thing. Skating is art and not a toxic community that Roller Derby is.

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Derby is awesome...IF you can find the right league. There's a great one about an hour away from me. Sadly, my local league is nothing but little princesses who don't even know how to skate and think you're "not cool" unless you've got $800 skates, $300 pads, etc. Excuse me...they're a bunch of RICH princesses who can't skate. Never won a single bout yet and the league was formed around 8 years ago. :( However, there are MANY disciplines to skating. Artistic, Derby, Speed, Aggressive, Roller Dance, Recreational, Fitness....and SO many more. Each one is their own art form.

[@meowlo_]

[@puppydoggamer7642]

it makes me happy that this was like historically thought about by him, and that t wasn’t just like an “i tried to jam skate” video. that’s what makes me very happy, considering i am a jam skater myself.
