Crushing NYC FAILURE Inline FlowCast #22

My recent New York City Inline Skating trip did not go entirely as planned. This is the REAL inside look at my full New York City trip, narrated as a FlowCast. EXPLICIT language used! Dehydration & Heat Exhaustion Debacle is also described.

[@mcjasper]

In my younger days I was a competitive runner, and our mantra was "leave everything on the track." You left everything on the track, and are wiser for it. The hero's journey continues. Thank you for sharing. I doubt Gotham has seen the last of you.

[@BillStoppard]

That's the spirit McJ!

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

Bill, a similar thing happened to me when I was filming my Inline Skating marathon vid ! I understand you ! ^^"

[@BillStoppard]

Doing a marathon is tough enough, shooting vid during it is...heavy. It seems that the camera in hand interferes with my brain and critical thinking.

[@pg9193]

also, NY is a very intense place and can be overwhelming to the nervous system -- I'm not sure what your body was telling you with the puking but damn, I'm glad you're both good!

[@TiagoInlineSkater]

PintoPonyProductions well, to me, I think it was totally my fault! I didn't drink nor eat before the event (yeah, I under estimated the difficulty of a marathon haha! x) ) I don't think the camera interfered in my case! :) But yeah, bad stuff does happen, specially when you think everything's fine x)

[@DireWolfy]

Tiago Inline Skater hai!

[@fourcubed47]

You have to wonder if Eddy Matzger didn't videotape many of his marathons, how many more he could have won.

[@ericford240]

Electrolyte capsules, my friend. They take about 15-30 minutes to kick in depending on your heart rate, but they will help keep you from cramping up so you can keep going or sleep.

[@benjaminwinston4185]

I came here to say this. I use nuun, 1 tablet per 16oz glass of water as per the instructions. It's good for exercise in hot weather and is way easier to stomach than Pedialyte and cheaper than gatorade when you're sick or hungover too. After huge skates when I'm a bit sick I sometimes have four or five. But in a pinch bananas and table salt in the right quantity will do. I suspect that you know all this stuff already, I'm just saying it for anyone watching and wondering about it.

[@pg9193]

I recently left NYC for work, but many friends who visited often got sick. New York overstimulates many people and you took in a LOT for 36 hours. It usually takes about 3 or 4 days to grow accustomed to the city flow and diversity, but it was a great to know the inside story, thanks bill! on 3 wheels for life

[@swaggamcnagga4379]

Damn B, when you said lets go back in time and then drop the old intro music it almost caught me in the feels. Well played, Warrior of the Blunted Blade.

[@offtherecordfilms5253]

As a filmmaker myself that’s just rediscovering my skills and passion for inline skating, I must say your B-roll was pretty great. Would love to see your passion video work. Obviously your channel is amazing. Learning a ton.

[@RichHayterSkater]

Loved the NYC recap, Bill! I cannot wait to go back and roll New York City again. It now feels like I was a complete noob when I was there only a few years back; I kinda knew it at the time too! I also knew I wouldn't be returning anytime soon and I didn't want to miss rolling one of the world's most iconic cities. Things will be very different next time.

[@darin-pond]

Minus the dehydration and heat exhaustion that NYC trip looked like so much fun!!

[@omgwillustrate8475]

5:08 I've lived in this city my whole life and I had no idea a spot like this existed. I gotta explore and find it myself once it's warm again.

[@ArtOfRaving]

Where is this spot? 0.o

[@omgwillustrate8475]

@@ArtOfRaving pretty sure this is the Brooklyn Banks skatepark by the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side.

[@ArtOfRaving]

@@omgwillustrate8475 Didn't know if I'd hear back on a 3 year old comment but thank you very much. Take it easy!

[@MrJlmmeh]

Looks like you got caught up in between skating for pure fun and skating for youtube. Don't sweat it though, people watch your channel for the passion you bring to the scene and your motivation to share it. Besides, a little wake up call is always a good thing :) keep it up! cheers

[@SingaporeSkaterSam]

This is an insightful comment. I could tell something was off during the NY videos and I'd place the blame entirely on trying to create a Skater Hunter concept in a new city rather than just scoping the place out and following locals. As Lino says, remember why we started skating in the first place - it's meant to be fun! Great video Bill, told the story.

[@BillStoppard]

Thanks for the encouragement MJ!

[@BillStoppard]

I agree, a whimsical scoping on first night would have been smart and stress free.

[@Martins-Shaves123]

Wow ! You won't forget that trip 😲 !

[@lupiro11]

Good vid, bud! These shots were really great and I'm glad you could at least experience NYC a bit. We all have to face obstacles when we're skating on this bumpy road, but some of us will encounter different kinds of obstacles. My problem is that our roads and sidewalks are really crappy and full of cracks everywhere. I don't even need cramps to get in a shitty situation at times; but, I just started, so I guess it can only get easier from here on. Also, thanks once again for all your tutorials and instructional videos! Really helped me out!

[@BrevityIsFTW]

Cool! Looks like the "brooklyn bomb" of inline skating. I'd definitely go back to NYC for this.

[@elofkjellson3906]

That shot of the random cop lmao. That made me laugh. He looked so confused!

[@loudloveen]

I'd have passed out in that tunnel. I hope you do a documentary about your life one day. From the moment you first put your first skates until now. And I wish I could see footage of you playing hockey.

[@J2thePower0f3]

True MVP! Thanks for sharing your trip with us :D

[@therage12012]

Just join the night skate last week, I was cramping up also... Hope to see you next time... Thanx for the video

[@BrianLuna11]

The music was very appropriate seeing as Bill resembled the guy from The Pianist

[@VideoGameAtlas]

Awesome vid. Felt like a mini documentary. Any chance of getting a vid of an interview with Leon or the other mushroom bladers in the future?

[@BillStoppard]

Thanks D, Will defo do a Leon interview some day would love the MB crew too.

[@PazoraArts]

I did something similar one day I went out for hours, came back home and my stomach under my sternum was hurting so bad. I was almost ready to check in at an ER because I didn't know what was happening. On some skate forums, found out my glucose dropped really low. Some Gatorade, and a pb&j sandwich really helped.

[@cazatron]

👍 loving your Vids Bill im getting The wonder years vibes with your narration. Quality.

[@Zaromun1]

The water was a good choice but in longer interval events i find stuff like Powerade or Gatorade to be useful, both to boost performance and recovery. You wouldn't have cramped half as much.

[@wyldeminded]

"As fresh as a sack of shit." Haha! Love this guy.

[@BINY_Channel]

Follow the NYC inline skate scene here. KZbin.com/BladeInNY had a fun time skating with you bill maybe we can film an episode together next time.

[@anthonydp1992]

When do yu guys restart the Tuesday skate runs? I'm from Jersey would truly benefit learning first hand with yu guys

[@rikvdmark]

Damn, the end of your stay in NYC. Hope you won't have to go through that again ;) "Next time it's not about the people, but about the beer". Words to live by :D

[@chockypompom]

You sir are a legend ❤️

[@lamilumag]

Very cool and relaxing to watch - unlike your cramps - but anyone who was every serious about sports knows how it is to wake up from pain :)

[@Exen88]

That look likes an awesome trip to nyc. Very nice!

[@nataliea6539]

Love your skates!

[@1AndreasKendu]

Classic heatstroke, Bill.

[@ronin-9941]

Wish we had you in Munich, sir! Biiig faaaan 😁

[@jboops6664]

Tips for keeping your gains while regularly skating for extended periods of time? Do you have any way of tracking your caloric expenditure while rolling?

[@wanderingcantos]

What a beautiful video! A toast to life

[@sighange]

looool "crazy peak of my bedtime activity"

[@holgers.3397]

your vlogs are just bombastic !

[@royalbloodlinewarriorblood1474]

It has been a long whiiile since I've watched your videos my friend, watching this one only goes to show me why i subscribed and like your channel. Lucky #13 i am the 13th like on here. Keep up the good work friend, i am also a fan of your narrating beside yoir dope skating videos. Cheers!

[@BillStoppard]

Big thanks for the encouragement and the like! 13 is my lucky number!

[@MrDjcamo29]

Keep up the good work and keep safe and rolling

[@ATXrollerblader]

Bill referencing Casey. Vlogging worlds collide.

[@Leander311]

ATXrollerblader how’s the scene here in Austin? Bout to buy my first set of in-lines in 15 years... was decently fast back when and looking forward to some cross training for cycling stuff. Settling in on some K2 VO2-S 100 BOA’s, then maybe something like Powerslide Trinities for more agility. Any feedback is appreciated!

[@Spock0987]

Another awesome tale.

[@juliepurpleskater1736]

I hope you'll come and join San Francisco's Friday Night Skate sometime!

[@RichCityCommittee]

when is it friend? every friday?

[@benjamingo111]

I just moved back to NYC and would love to join the skate community here. Any places you'd suggest I start? Thanks!

[@shawnshawn911]

Tough experience huh. Thanks for sharing Skate safe

[@clonkex]

I wish I could like this video 3 times over!

[@jinx00723]

That happened this pass Big Apple Roll skate weekend. We did about 35+ miles from lower Manhattan to the Yankees stadium and back. I wiped out pretty bad on a soap soaked side walk and got road rash on my side. That night I was rudely awaken by two cramps and rubbing it didn’t help I had to crawl to the bathroom and make a heat press to stop the pain and even after that it stuck around just not as painful as it was first. #Skaterstruggle You should come to The Big Apple Roll next year bill almost over 100 Skaters it’s so dope and run with Sonic next time you go he knows how to fly thru the traffic

[@KirraZirra]

Awesome vid Bill. Sounded like fun but awful at the same time. The best kind of trips 😸

[@Spock0987]

Shit, stopped at 0.54 seconds and am afraid to continue, your face was definitely predicting shit!!! man I gotta say your channel is awesome!!!! here I go....

[@franckbrusset]

Wow. You've got yourself burnt out in a day. How long did it take you to fully recover?

[@TheRainbowRose90]

Wow, this vid was great. And oddly bittersweet. I wonder what the reason is for the trouble you had with your muscles and stamina. The NYC summer heat, maybe? Lack of proper nutrition? (Leon was smart to give you that banana for the potassium content, if you like coconut water that might’ve helped as well). Have you ever had these issues while skating around Toronto or anywhere else? I’m genuinely curious about this but I’m glad you’re feeling better :) and I agree with the other commentators here, NYC can be an intense shock to the system that takes some getting used to.

[@BillStoppard]

It was straight up dehydration and heat exhaustion, I just lost more water on those two days than I could absorb. I skated too much and I underestimated the windless factor of a hot day(s) in NY. Yes, the Banana was a huge stroke of luck!

[@shroomy7054]

5:09 THOSE ARE THE EXACT SAME SKATES I HAVE!!!!!! I am still practicing on quads though but i can switch them feom quad to inline just like those

[@rasmus9311]

Haven't had quad cramps before, that day i do scares me

[@austinpat4807]

5:43 is that Jon Ortiz???

[@Whurlpuul]

Awesome video

[@rickrobertson2976]

my quads are burning like a mofo latly too Bill, i can do maybe 3 hard sprints and then I am done, think im getting too old for this

[@SlyTy98]

Yeah, skating downtown is a challenge. Try chasing a pro longboarder for 50 blocks and several hours. I think I was dying after that.

[@santiagoperez626]

Put salt in your water. You used up all your electrolytes haha

[@iannoome1898]

Where in NYC is that tunnel located at? I've been trying for the pas half hour to look for it for tonight's ride

[@CJDcow]

search for 1st Ave tunnel

[@mattfoley4128]

Love the vid!!!!

[@trucker2b]

ur body got recked....thanks nyc....for showing bill a great 🕙 lol

[@samcarambat9398]

Poor Bill! You need to go buy yourself a full body massage after all those cramps 😂

[@zaratihoviolato]

You did not eat enough, Bill!

[@CVRogers17]

Bananas Bill Bananas! Feel bad for ya man. Rub calves with 100% Canadian maple leaf syrup for a speedy recovery! Love ya man!

[@clray123]

You are a silly goose, Bill. When you refuse to listen to your body, it will make you.

[@BillStoppard]

My body lied to me, but I know it lies all the time.....

[@clray123]

Well, at least you had a chance to strike up an acquaintance with a nice stewardess.

[@DashDrones]

This is what happens in NYC.. crazy giant place. The video footage and editing was breathtaking. Was a pity that the place fucked you so hard though...

[@AngelMonticelli]

Great video, very funny story. I'd've give you more likes if I could. Cheers!

Dude, those law enforcers looked like they're pack'n...

Duh ... It's NYC

[@painterpainting7056]

NY is one of the worst police states in the world , ever since I moved out, I haven't gotten a ticket since . I used to get tickets every week. Thank god I left.

[@veritas88n4]

_it's about the beer_

The two hott chicks at 8:38...are they on wheels or stupid shoes?

[@alainremi267]

Great show... I just hope that you won't end up like that poor guy who's been skateboarding for years 'till bad luck hit : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOtl6x-ed2amNk

[@psocretes8183]

Are you a former personal trainer? You do know about electrolyte solutions? Sugar and salt solutions for rehydration? Would have saved you a lot of discomfort. Hey ho, you youngsters will learn eventually.

[@beefnacos6258]

Lol electrolytes are bs

[@beefnacos6258]

Salt dehydrates you....

[@kchappelle]

@@beefnacos6258, no...I think that's water. He needed fat. He already said he was drinking a ton of water and couldn't get enough. Water will fuck you up. It flushes all your nutrients out of the body.

[@いしトモ-e3d]

NYの景観、夜景を楽しみたくて動画見てるのだが、車が混み合っているのにお構いなしに割り込む奴、走ってる他人の車につかまるバカ、歩いている人達を怖がらせる奴、市民がくつろぐ為のベンチの上を滑るヤツ、建物の壁・町のシンボル的なオブジェの上を滑りエッジで傷つけて行くヤツ、止めて欲しい。街中をスイスイ走るのは気持ち良くて見るのも好きなのだが、我が物顔でソコのけと滑るのは反感を買ってスケーター全体の肩身が狭くなる。迷惑を掛けない範囲で楽しんでくれ。

[@trucker2b]

Noooooii sAY it aint soooo..

[@cvillatoro696]

Hook it up with some skates

[@ArinaThomsen]

Oh my! Sounds like a horrible fluid and electrolyte imbalance that you have experienced. When I saw the footage in the tunnel I thought you look very dehydrated. Hate the heat and humidity. Non alcoholic beer is well known to take care of such problems. Seriously.

[@Johro66]

Arina Thomsen absolutely, he looked awful. Just. Awful. Was pretty obvious that he didn't feel right.

[@BillStoppard]

Thanks so much for the non-alcoholic beer tip Arina, sounds way better than Gatorade. That gaunt tunnel footage has since served as daily inspiration for me to drink and eat more!

[@Johro66]

You packed an awful lot into a relatively short time.. Too much to be comfortable. And dehydration sucks..Literally. Awesome video though.. Again, we benefit from your skills as a photographer/videographer, witty narrator, and skater. Do take better care of yourself! ;)

[@Johro66]

By the way you looked like hell in that tunnel lol.. Damn..
