FreeSkating New York City - Powerslide Arise

In this video, I "FreeSkate" New York City at a rapid pace on the Powerslide Arise with the Endless Blading 90 LR frame. I begin on the Upper West Side and skate through the heart of the city that never sleeps, down through Hudson Yards ending up in Chelsea.
I'm skating on the Powerslide Arise, with the Endless Blading 90 LR frame, Wicked Abec 9 bearings, and 90 mm Rollerblade hydrogen wheels.

I think it's timely to put rollerblading as an official sport so people will learn how to do it safely, because it's a healthy sport and tones the body, environmentally friendly, it boost mental health and a great way to know people. It even slows down aging too.

[@virgiliod.9436]

I think it's also great for the eyes and sight health.

[@22ryanoc]

Hey rollerblading and also a lot of yardwork has made me insanely ripped. I skate on the main roads and sometimes get flipped off. But I think most people really enjoy seeing you do some tricks.

[@thestutteringskater]

Yeah Skating is like therapy for me! Thank you for the comment and support

[@foreign392]

Oh boy i wish this was a school sport, i would’ve actually cared about grades and shit like that im pretty good at this 🥹

[@gurabirierosanopara620]

Is this serious?

[@TheMayoBlue]

Dood. Just found this. I'm so jealous. This looks like a blast. Too old to start so I'll have to skate thru you!

[@TheJavaFrog]

Hey, bro. How old are you?

[@carlosroubert8646]

That’s what I called Urban skating…Awesome!

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

The best urban skaters like you always, always have naturally perfect form, like you. Riding those outside edges like that... I'm so jealous.

[@Trexalot9779]

And he makes it look as easy as walking! Amazing!

[@jasonjacobs2095]

i love how confident you are when you stake thru intersections, it looks like all the street lights were green the whole way

[@wongowonga]

I cant explain the level of anxiety I have for your knees! Nice skate man, be safe.

[@cenkaetaya]

There is nothing more free in life then skating.

[@tommymclaughlin-artist]

This is one of the most satisfying freeskate videos on youtube in a while.

[@adam_speed_skater]

Hello and greetings from Poland! Sure we want more. This is a fantastic video! We are waiting for the next inline skating videos in cool places. We also start our adventure with roller skates. Your films inspire us positively and motivate us to further trainings on roller skates !!! Thanks a lot. You're doing a great job.

[@mushie1221]

You're amazing! And the videos are beautiful, thanks for all of them and for what you do! Incredible! Much love.

[@babybluecheeks]

Man this is just so mesmerising, I used to stree skate back in the mid 90s through too early 2000s. I absolutely loved it, living in Washington state at the time then moved back to the UK in 2000 and everyone looked at me like a weirdo so eventually I stopped. Wish I never let people judgment get to me. But watching this dude, wow, it just looks like so much fun and I can't stop watching.

[@HeadNtheClouds]

Yup! Yup! What up! Loved the shifty move & the crazy balls out skating in the NY city streets! 😎

[@omaam1005]

Ooooooo! Thank you dude for that helmet. Love to see it. I can't wait to see you with my own eyes one day. I to am a New Yorker. Here's to stutster skate'n 4ever. Take care now!

[@mitotimoti]

Your videos are sick. 🔥

[@eduardobarceloscoach4985]

You're gonna be huge man. Amazing content, you're awesome!

[@lloyd2929]

I miss those Friday Night Skate they used to have in many cities across the globe. I've done the Friday Night Skate in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, Paris and a few other cities that I have since forgot. The one in Paris had 30,000 skaters every Friday at its peak. Everyone who had hockey experience would fly through the crowd like an obstacle course. Fun days.

[@dancinbananna]

Love all the comments on here about street laws, you wear skates to travel fast and have fun “how dare you do what they’re made for!” 😂

[@Laulaurin]

You say that about guns as well? And they are not made to have fun btw... Just a very nonsensical argument ^^ That said I don't have anything against him skating like that, but mostly since he's endangering mostly himself and not others :)

[@MikeDoran]

Me and my best friend skated through New York City on a vacation when we were 13 and it was the best time of my life in the city.

[@wvsf01]

great way to see the town. thanks for sharing the video

[@Trexalot9779]

There are very few things Connor McDavid cant do on skates and id say he would be the first to tell you that this is one of those things. This is amazing

[@thestutteringskater]

haha I think if Connor Mcdavid tried rollerblades he would smoke me and anyone else, first try.

[@Trexalot9779]

@@thestutteringskater My son (8) and i love your content!! You do so well with the skating obviously but the quality of production is top notch as well! Great work!

[@alexbleechina]

nice work brah! Inspiring! Shredding it in NYC aint no joke!

[@floyder99]

Respect to the cameraman who was brave enough to follow and film this.

[@protozoa1986]

He's the one holding the camera with monopod. It's auto vanishing the stick.

I also love three wheel skating with my "Powerslide Next Core Black 100" 😍: it's awesome. New York seems much better 🤩 than Paris. Thanks for your sharring !👍 😉 from France.

[@ellershellersh]

[@thestutteringskater]

Bro that double push is sick. Fast!!!

[@thestutteringskater]

Thank you! It's so fun to do when you have a responsive skate!

[@novehui]

your movement and the new york city, remind me of the game jet set radio

[@thestutteringskater]

Ive actually never played it but I hear this comment a lot. I should deff do more research on it

[@connieh24]

How many wheels do you go through in a year? The pavement has to be so hard on them!

[@hristos0]

wow. really cool mate. amazing skills

[@beaujim108]

That is effing awesome!

[@root123]

I admire your bravery it's pretty dangerous, I avoid driving in NY. Great videos you are an amazing skater

[@FreeRideMadrid]

NY streets looks so good for skating 🎉🤜🤛🥳

[@awildcolinappears]

As a Canadian who grew up playing some roller hockey this is dope as hell

[@KC-rn3bd]

[@virgiliod.9436]

I think it's funny when you let your tongue out when you pass the food truck and in another video when you seem to greet the horse.

[@123ghjds]

ngl this was so fun to watch lol great video!

[@123ghjds]

next time a red t shirt plz ty

[@Sharpe1502]

This man took the phrase, “Go play on the freeway,” too literally.

[@jutah]

love it, got reommended terrys video with you, may buy those skates or a lower tier to prep for skiing

[@jutah]

hockey, skiing? you from cold weather area?

[@22ryanoc]

Good session. I’ve been working on my Mohawk/variations. Can’t quite get it. I popped out my shoulder yesterday,trip to the er and skating with A sling again. I can’t seem to learn my lesson about doing stupid stuff when my wheels are wet. I only got flipped off twice today so I think that’s pretty good. I want to work on backwards crossovers

[@octajon]

it would be fun to see a live number of how fast you are going, or an average speed for your skate sesh. Maybe not for every vid, but for some of them. Thanks for the content Ari

[@isaacalvarez3641]

Sick videos, glad TerryB ran into you

[@thestutteringskater]

Me too! Hes a legend

[@kylepickle715]

This is an awesome video

[@thestutteringskater]

Kyle, thank you so much for the kind words. More coming soon

[@wecare.]

I was born and raised in NYC. Have driven her since the age of 16, 31 now. I've driven everything on wheels in this city. Large trucks, semi-trucks, cars, motorcycles, inline skates, etc. I have raced in cars and motorcycles. Most of my work has been driving in the city. I free skate in the city and ice skate very well. Based on this experience, over time, with this little amount of protection and this amount of risk, it is almost inevitable that you will get hit hard.

[@jackamaka674]

Agree. as a casual small-city skater. This amount of lane splitting, instant land switching without looking back, and proximity to traffic seems reckless.

[@joecollinsphoto]

Make friends with cab drivers? Sounds like a healthy strategy. I love the bit at 8:15. Excellent video as always! Make a t-shirt! I’ll be your first customer. Peace.

[@thestutteringskater]

Thank you so much, it's always hectic in times square, and I just wanted to clear the air with the fellow. Thank you so much for the kind words and support, if I do decide to go down the Merch road, I'll let you know!

[@drrrw]

This is like Terry B but for skating flowing.

[@battemannn7375]

Nice evasive action 5:12

[@thestutteringskater]

Just a part of skating quickly in a densely populated city! Thank you for the kind words.

[@user-qd6hj2fn4w]

Круто! спасибо тебе! как будто покатался в Нью-Йорке!

i love your style

[@katharinahoflsauer4233]

How can you drive safely in traffic like this? I don't understand the braking in particular. Can you do an emergency stop at such a speed in case a car in front of you brakes sharply? How do you brake to zero at such high speed. for example at traffic lights, intersections or crosswalks.

[@amicusprimus7120]

He can stop on a dime - or a short row of dimes.... It's definitely part of the skill set. This ain't no joke.

[@SynarTerror]

What’s this move you do at 3:46? I’ve incorporated it into my rolling repertoire from watching your videos, but only because I think it looks cool, aesthetically

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Heya brother, how would you describe the Endless LR frames? Do you have experience with the Trinity normal endless frames, in addition to the LR frames? Am currently looking at them, the LR frames, maybe the 90s or 100s OR the new Icon Decode Pro 100s which look amazing and are even more flexible in their setups and configs.

[@krol_f8]

U r insane. Greetings from Poland.

[@gauravkale2162]

Just binged all your videos. You are absolutely inspirational and ride with such style and finesse. I've been itching to get back into rollerblading after a 12 year hiatus and just ordered some flat FR1s to start. Do you ride a rockered setup? You go so fast yet turn as smooth as butter I can't tell haha

[@Sebastian-li9ol]

I have seen your short I'm an inline skater from England and I have moved to Wisconsin I really need to find a big group skate I need to experience it😂

[@mauriciogolberg3450]
